Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jesse Gardner and Chinwe Nwogene arrived to the facility unannounced to conduct an annual inspection with an emphasis on infection control.

LPAs met with Administrator Heather Scott. Present in the facility during time of visit were 43 residents. There are currently no cases of COVID-19 within the facility.

During today's visit, LPAs toured the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. LPAs observed sufficient hand hygiene supplies, sufficient cleaning and disinfecting provisions, and proper use of face coverings. The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases, ensuring PPE supplies are maintained, cleaning and disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities. LPA Gardner later discussed infection control practices and procedures with Ms. Scott.

While at the facility, LPA Gardner noticed that Ms. Scott had an expired Administrator's certificate, and upon verifying the certificate was expired and new application not submitted until 3/23/22, and expired on 1/3/22, a Type B citation was issued per the California Code of Regulations Title 22.

An exit interview was discussed with Ms. Scott, and a copy of this report was provided along with a copy of the LIC809-D.
