32 | LPA Brown went over the various recommended training for facility staff with Licensee/Administrator Delgado in relation to COVID-19 and Licensee/Administrator Delgado informed LPA Brown that all staff are trained on various aspects of infection control, recognition of symptoms of COVID-19, and donning/doffing of PPE.
LPA Brown inquired as to if staff have been fit tested for N95 masks, and Administrator Delgado informed LPA Brown that all staff have not been fit tested at this time. LPA Brown will be issuing a deficiency during today's inspection for staff not being fit tested for N95 masks due to the facility having covid positive staff last 01/24/2022, and N95 masks needs to be worn when a client or staff is COVID-19 positive or under observation while awaiting test results.
Additionally LPA Brown observed all clients and most staff have been vaccinated and boosted and are practicing other COVID-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting COVID-19. LPA Brown will be providing Licensee/Administrator Delgado 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.
