32 | At 9:41 AM, the memory care unit was toured. An isolation unit was observed separated by a curtain. Staff were observed wearing masks. Facility nurse (S1) demonstrated donning and doffing of isolation gown, shoe cover, gloves, and mask outside isolation room. S1 was observed posting door signs on residents, R1 and R2’s, rooms to warn staff of R1’s isolation status. According to AD, the facility received confirmation of R1 and R2’s positive COVID-19 test results on the evening of 12/16/2020. Based on LPAs’ observation, isolation rooms were not properly marked to alert staff of residents’ isolation status on the evening of 12/16/2020 and at the beginning of today’s shift.
According to AD, residents’ meals are being served in residents’ rooms or at staggered schedules for residents with cognitive impairment and behaviors. Memory Care dining room was configured to promote social distancing. Shared bedrooms were inspected, and beds were observed at least 6 feet apart.
Based on today's inspection, the facility is being recommended the following:
1. Keep up-to-date with current COVID-19 information, including COVID-19 related symptoms, by checking the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), local public health, and Community Care Licensing Division's websites. The most current information must be adapted into the facility's Infection Control and Mitigation Plan (e.g. screening).
2. Isolation rooms must be clearly marked upon knowledge of resident's positive diagnosis. Additionally, residents shall be placed in isolation and treated as positive prior to receipt of COVID-19 test results if resident is exhibiting COVID-19 related symptoms. A warning "STOP" sign to alert staff that full PPE is required prior to entry shall be placed on all isolation areas/rooms.
3. Facility shall place a covered trash bin inside and outside isolation rooms.
4. Common areas shall be sanitized after every use. This includes the staff break room.
