32 | AL COVID WING –When asked if there are designated staff working the COVID area, Joel responded that there are only 2 staff working in all of the Assisted Living and 2 staff working in the Memory Care. When asked what the normal staffing is like, he responded it is usually 3 on each staff but they are short staffed all the time and staff are afraid to work with COVID residents. Joel proceeded into the COVID area, when asked where the PPE station is, he responded it is supposed to be there (already in the COVID wing through the fire doors). When asked if he was going to donn PPE he responded he had to return to his office to get PPE. Phone call terminated for 5 minutes while he did so. Call resumed with him in his office, LPM observed him donning PPE then returning to the COVID wing (16 rooms total) When asked how many residents in this area are positive and how many rooms were ready for additional positives, Joel explained that there are 6 or 7 positive residents in the area, the rest are negative and refused to move. Some doors had signage that say ISOLATION with the resident’s name, date tested and date cleared, but other rooms have no identifying signage, and when asked Joel was unsure if rooms without the signage were positive or negative. Therefore we only entered into the rooms designated as positive, since there were no PPE stations in the area, PPE was not changed between positive rooms. Entry into R1 room the exterior of the door stated that resident is to be isolated until 01/01/21, yet resident remains in COVID area. R1 bathroom contained no hand soap or paper towels, no trashcan and no signage in BR. R2 room stated isolation until 01/06/2021, no soap or paper towels in bathroom, no trash can. Residents soiled clothes were in a pile next to the unlined partially fill laundry basket, resident complained of not feeling well, aches, sore throat, cough, having diarrhea and soiling her clothes. When asked about laundry Joel responded that staff bag it and take it to the laundry room.
