LPAs will be issuing a Technical Assistance Advisory Note during today's inspection for staff not being fit tested for N95 masks. LPAs will not be issuing a deficiency for this item due to the facility not currently having any COVID-19 positive residents, and N95 masks only needing to be worn when a resident is COVID-19 positive or under observation while awaiting test results.
Additionally, all residents and staff have been vaccinated and are practicing other COVID-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting COVID-19. LPAs will be providing caregivers with the information for Provider Information Notice (PIN) PIN-21-10-ASC which contains resources for getting staff fit tested for N95 masks.
In addition, during the tour LPAs noticed that one of the bathrooms (located inside one of the vacant rooms) have evidence of water damage (walls have water damage and parts of the dry wall were broken). There were additional signs of water damage in the dining area window. The carpeted floor of the dining area also had water stains. Also, LPAs observed that the cupboards in the Laundry Room are also in disrepair. LPAs will be issuing a deficiency for this because this poses a potential health and safety risk to residents in care.
Moreover, during the tour, LPAs noticed that the screen for the dining area window was in disrepair and needs to be addressed. LPAs will be issuing a technical violation for this issue.
An exit interview was conducted with Maritza White and a copy of this report (LIC809), LIC 809-D, LIC9102-TV, LIC 9102-TA, and Appeal Rights were provided. |
