25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Natalie Ibarra made an unannounced visit to conduct an annual inspection, with emphasis on infection control. LPA was greeted and allowed entry by caregiver Asenath "Azzy" Lainez. Administrator Ewell "Joaquin" Thompson was contacted and arrived towards the end of the inspection.
LPA Ibarra toured inside and outside of the facility and went over COVID-19 best practices for infection control and prevention. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing Division guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolating/quarantining residents and properly caring for residents with COVID-19 positive results and/or exposures. 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. The entrance of the facility has a check in process for visitors that includes a temperature check and a symptom check. The residents have hand sanitizer available to them throughout the facility, and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels. LPA Ibarra inspected the facility's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supply, which was located in the front hallway. The facility has a full thirty (30) day supply of PPE such as gloves, face shields, surgical masks, N95 masks, disinfectant, and hand sanitizer.
No deficiencies were sited during todays visit.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was discussed and provided to the Administrator. |
