On 4/6/ 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Murial Han conducted an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of complaint # 14-AS-2023030608323. LPA Han met with Assistant General Manager Deborah Suarez and Administrator, Sarah Laloyan and explained the purpose of the visit.

Regarding to allegation of COVID-19 testing protocols, the reporting party stated that the facility's procedure with contact tracing was inaccurate as some residents have cognitive impairment, therefore, they would not remember the duration of exposure with someone who tested positive and the reporting party expressed the facility staff did not wait for the entire 15 minutes after a COVID-19 antigen test was administered to read the result. In addition, the reporting party expressed that the contact tracing would be more accurate if the facility used the resident's tempo/bracelet as it tracked resident's whereabout within the facility.

As part of the investigation, LPA interviewed facility director who stated that facility conducted contact tracing according to the Local Public Health's recommendation and to ensure the accuracy for residents who are cognitively impaired, the facility obtained details from the interdisciplinary team members such as dining room staff, activity staff, etc.

LPA Han interviewed Local Public Health representatives who did not have any concerns with the facility's contact tracing procedures during the outbreak as the facility followed their guidance and eventually conducted rapid response testing.

In regards to staff testing techniques, LPA interviewed facility director and 3 facility staff and all of them were able to articulate the proper techniques performed when they were administering a COVID-19 antigen test.

In addition, LPA interviewed responsible parties and resident and they reported that staff used proper techniques while administering COVID-19 antigen tests.

After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unfounded.

Unfounded
