The annual inspection is focused on the Infection Control procedures and practices of this Residential Care Facility for Elderly. Facility provides care for 35 residents, 4 of which are on after-hour nursing services and some of which with a diagnosis of dementia.
LPA toured facility and grounds with Administrator and observed COVID-19 precaution signs posted in common areas to promote hand washing and physical distancing. LPA was screened for COVID-19 symptoms upon entrance to this facility. Visitors are said to be screened for COVID-19 symptoms (including temperature check) upon arrival to the facility. Infection control practices are present: entry procedures, face coverings, daily monitoring and temperatures checked for staff and residents based on daily observation, and a 30-day PPE supply. Staff follow indoor visitation requirement of verifying and tracking COVID-19 vaccination or verify non-essential visitors have proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours and implement visitation protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Staff clean and disinfect the facility multiple times daily. Administrator stated high touched surface areas are disinfected after each use, such as the bathroom and kitchen area. Resident rooms and common areas have disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer available. Bathrooms are equipped with liquid soap, paper towels and touch free operated garbage cans.
