25 | On 11/21/2022, at 9:22 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rayshaun Nickolas conducted 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 arrived and met with Licensee and Administrator Walter and MariaLuisa Leimbach. The facility has no clients in care.
During the inspection, LPA Nickolas conducted a brief tour of the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures and other health and safety concerns. The facility was equipped with sufficient hand hygiene supplies, sufficient cleaning/disinfecting provisions, and a supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 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 facility's infection control measures. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolating/quarantining residents, and properly caring for residents with COVID-19 positive results and/or exposures. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor clients regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the client’s physician and emergency personnel in the event the client presents any COVID-19 symptoms. LPA issued a LIC 9102 Technical Assistance to the facility for not having a COVID-19 mitigation plan.
LPA observed no apparent health and safety concerns at the time of visit. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed, and a copy of this report and LIC9102 was provided to the Leimbach’s at the conclusion of the inspection. |
