32 | On 01/08/2021, LPA Llopis opened up a complaint received on 01/01/2021 stating staff were not wearing their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically face masks. LPA requested pertinent documents, video footage, and photos of the facility PPE storage room and supply. On 01/12/2021, 01/19/2021, and 01/20/2021 LPA reviewed documents, video footage, and photos. LPA found the facility has mandated all staff employees to wear their PPE facemasks at all times while working in the facility. LPA observed the facility has a sufficient amount of PPE which includes N95 facemasks and surgical masks. LPA observed from the randomly selected video footage staff were wearing their facemasks while working in the facility.
Then on 01/19/2021, LPA interviewed a random sample of six (6) of six (6) residents in care and five (5) of five (5) staff working at the facility. Interviews with residents indicate the facility staff are wearing their masks while providing direct care to residents. Residents stated "staff are always wearing their masks," "I do not remember them not wearing their masks," and "every one of the staff wear their masks." Interviews with staff reported that "staff are always wearing their masks when working with residents."
On 11/30/2020 and 01/21/2021 LPA Llopis conducted Welfare Calls with Executive Director, Tracy McLinn. No concerns were present regarding infection control. The facility has been in communication with CCL throughout the pandemic and has been cooperative with CCL's direction and Public Health's recommendations.
Based records reviewed and interviews conducted, LPA find the allegation, Staff members are not wearing facemasks while in the facility.to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.
Due to the findings, no deficiencies are being cited today.
Exit interview conducted via telephone with Executive Director, Tracy McLinn. Copy of report provided via email. The facility will print, sign and send back a signed copy to CCL by 01/26/2021. |
