32 | On 10/13/2020 interview with Maestro Medication Testing staff stated during observations, none of the recommended changes were made, for example residents were not moved to the “hot zone” on floor three, positive and negative residents on all floors. Staff was observed walking around the building without PPE, no one was supervising. Staff were walking room to room touching everything. CCL ASCP RO Sacramento South, reported that the Licensee demonstrated a lack of follow through, resistance to assistance, and the facility has a significant noncompliance history. Through inspections it was observed staff were not following COVID-19 precaution practices including engaging in social distancing, wearing masks and appropriate PPE, following sanitization and disinfection practices, hand hygiene, and visitor and staff screening procedures to mitigate the spread of COVID. Licensee was observed entering a COVID positive quarantine room without donning additional PPE other than a N95 he was already wearing. Staff stated they were unaware of how many COVID-19 positive residents or how many hospice residents there are. After the implementation of the COVID-19 Mitigation Plan, deficiencies continued to be cited for lack of adherence to the Mitigation Plan. Staffing Shortages without providing appropriate supervision were observed, which resulted in staffing assistance with the placement of a Temporary Manager provided by CCL ASCP. The needs and services of residents’ care plans were not maintained, prior to the Temporary manager, this resulted in the facilities inability to provide an adequate staffing plan. On 10/8/2020 caregivers interviewed stated diapers should be changed three times daily but sometimes outside agencies staff do not show up for coverage. Also reported that about 90% of residents are incontinent. On 10/6/2020 HAI Surveyor and Licensee observed unoccupied rooms with bedding/sheets that had been used by previous resident had not been cleaned since last week, trash bins were halfway full and some full, in the hallways, and no housekeeper was present during the visit. Administrator stated the last time they did laundry was 9/29/2020. A Non Compliance Conference was conducted on 11/17/2020, following repeated citations related to the facilities noncompliance with its Mitigation Plan to reduce the spread of COVID-19. A Ban on Admission to the facility was implemented from 11/23/2020 to 12/29/2020.
Based on inspection, interviews, and records review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
