25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) David Marrufo and California Department of Public Health HFEN Nurses Janet Hayes and Helen Widegren conducted a tele-visit via Zoom to provide technical assistance to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility. LPA met with Administrator Li Li and Assistant Administrator Charito Amoranto.
During today's tele-visit, the following recommendations were made to the facility:
1. Staff in contact with other staff and residents should use N95 masks. Facility may implement extended use policies on masks so that staff can use them for 3-5 days to extend supply.
2. Staff should use disposable gowns when entering isolation rooms and in resident rooms in the memory care unit
3. PPE trash is considered regular trash, not red bag trash
4. Facility to obtain wipes for elevator buttons
5. Disposable masks should be made available closer to entrance for visitors
6. Facility staff should review PPE donning, doffing and use videos and resources to be sent by HFEN Janet Hayes
7. Paper bags should be provided in staff break rooms to store N95 masks so masks are not contaminated by table tops
8. Resident activities should be done in "social bubble" groups to mitigate spread
This report was reviewed with Li Li. A copy of the report will be sent to her for it to be signed and returned to CCL. |
