25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Debbie Correia conducted an annual required licensing inspection. LPA Correia met with Caregivers Robert Encomienda and Elvira Manzano, identified herself, was granted entrance into the facility, and explained the purpose of the visit.
LPA Correia, accompanied by Caregiver Manzano, conducted an overall tour of the facility. The inspection included, but was not limited to, verifying compliance with statutes, regulations and other written requirements that are most relevant to protecting the health of residents in care and staff, including in the area of infection control practices.

LPA observed one central entry point for universal entry screening; routine symptom screening initiated at entry for staff, clients and visitors; a sign-in policy enacted for all visitors; signs posted throughout the facility to promote hand hygiene, cough/sneeze etiquette and physical distancing; face coverings worn by staff and as much as possible, residents; hand sanitizer/hand washing stations readily available; emergency agencies’ contact information posted in a location visible to staff and residents; and an adequate supply of PPE. |
