25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anna Bueno made an unannounced visit to the facility. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a required annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA met with care staff who confirmed that there are currently no cases/exposures of COVID-19 within the facility. Licensees were phoned and arrived shortly during today's visit.
During the inspection, LPA and Licensee Wendell Uson conducted a brief tour of the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. The facility was also equipped with sufficient hand hygiene and cleaning/disinfecting supplies. 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. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing Division guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolating/quarantining clients, and properly caring for clients with COVID-19 positive results and/or exposures. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor residents regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the resident's physician and emergency personnel in the event the client presents any COVID-19 symptoms.
LPA Bueno observed no health and safety concerns at the time of visit. LPA observed all utilities were in use. Based on observations made during today’s inspection, no deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, of the California Code or Regulations. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and a copy was provided to Licensee at the conclusion of the inspection. |
