25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ryan Gardner 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 Licensee Edgar Echaluse who confirmed that there are currently no cases/exposures of COVID-19 within the facility. At the time of visit there were two (2) staff, and zero (0) residents present. The facility has not had residents live in the facility since 2019.
LPA Gardner went over COVID-19 best practices for infection control and prevention with Mr. Echaluse. The facility has a mitigation plan on file with licensing. LPA Gardner conducted a brief tour of the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. The bedrooms have hand sanitizer, and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels. LPA Gardner observed the facility to have multiple postings throughout the facility for cough etiquette, proper hand washing procedure, and social distancing. LPA Gardner requested to inspect the facility's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supply, which was located in the staff bedroom. The facility has full thirty (30) day supply of PPE items such as gloves, face shields, gowns, surgical masks, N95 masks, disinfectant, and hand sanitizer supply. Staff are practicing all other COVID-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting COVID-19.
Based on the observations made during today’s visit, no deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, of the California Code of Regulations.
An exit interview was conducted, and this report was discussed and provided to Mr. Echaluse.
