32 | COVID-19 positive or under observation while awaiting test results. Additionally, LPA Brown observed 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 Administrator Green 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 05/11/2022 at 10:15 AM, LPA Brown observed only four (4) staff with vaccination record and two (2) staff with Exemption Record on file. In addition, no available vaccination/booster records for all other staff at the facility and no records of Covid test results available at the facility as well for the non-vaccinated staff that filed for Exemption. 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 staff which can pose potential risk to residents in care.
In addition, per records review, LPA Brown observed Staff 8 not associated at the facility. LPA Brown will be issuing a citation for not having Staff 8 associated at the facility as this poses potential risk to clients in care.
An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Evelyn Green and a copy of this report (LIC809), LIC 809D, LIC9102 TA Advisory Notes and Appeal Rights were discussed and provided.
