32 | N95 masks only needing to be worn when a client is COVID-19 positive or under observation while awaiting test results. Additionally, all clients have been vaccinated and are practicing other COVID-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting COVID-19. LPA Brown will be providing Licensee/Administrator Parra with the information for Provider Information Notice (PIN) PIN-21-10-ASC which contains resources for getting staff fit tested for N95 masks.
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, and that staff are trained in the proper use and disposal of PPE and overall infection control. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing guidelines for when and how long to test staff and their clients, when and how to isolate/quarantine clients, and when to schedule cleaning and disinfection times of high traffic and frequently touched areas. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor their clients regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the clients physician and to notify all emergency agencies in the event of any COVID-19 related and/or suspected illnesses.
During the visit, LPA Brown requested staff vaccination records and on 05/18/2022 at 01:00 PM, LPA Brown observed only Staff 1 (S1), Staff 2 (S2), Staff 3 (S3) and Staff 5 (5) have Dose 1 and Dose 2 vaccination record and only Staff 1 have Booster Vaccination Record and Staff 2 (S2), Staff 3 (S3), Staff 5 have no Booster Exemption Record on at the facility and no vaccination records on file at all for Staff 4 (S4). In addition, no records of Covid test results available at the facility as well for the non-vaccinated/boosted staff that filed for Exemption, if applicable. LPA Brown will be issuing a deficiency for failure to keep records of Worker’s Booster Vaccination/Exemption and Covid Test Results for non-vaccinated/boosted staff which can pose potential risk to residents in care.
An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Sulema Parra and a copy of this report (LIC809), LIC 809D, LIC9102 TA Advisory Notes and Appeal Rights were discussed and provided.
