Present during the tele-visit were Community Care Licensing (CCL) Program Clinical Consultant (PCC) Paul Portem and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Romeo Manzano.
A tour of the facility was conducted. The facility's screening procedures were reviewed. COVID-19 postings were observed throughout the facility including on the main entrance, hallways, and isolation room. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) donning and doffing guides were posted where staff was expected to don and doff PPE. Covered trash bins were available. Seating furniture in the dining and living rooms were marked to promote social distancing. The facility currently has 3 residents in the facility. 1 resident (R1) was observed in the family room. R1 stated staff takes care of R1 and R1 is feeling well. There is adequate staffing and PPE supplies in the premises.
The following were discussed today:
1. Provider Information Notice (PIN) 20-38-ASC was discussed to guide Administrators of isolation procedures when accepting back residents who are returning from an acute care facility or higher level of care facility. Administrators were advised to keep up to date with CCL PINs and Public Health orders.
2. Facility staff may use surgical or KN95 masks instead of N-95 masks if there are no active positive COVID-19 cases in the facility. Full PPE gear (face shield, N-95 mask, gloves, and isolation gown) shall be worn when caring for a COVID-19 positive resident who is under isolation.
