25 | On March 17, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced annual infection control inspection. LPA was greeted by the Caregiver, Marites Hernandez and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA was screened at entry point and the Caregiver was able to provide screening log documentation for residents, however, the caregiver was unable to provide LPA with screening log documentation for staff and residents.

LPA toured the kitchen and advised caregiver to switch out hand-towels for paper-towels and disinfectant wipes.
