25 | Licensing Program Analyst Joanne Roadilla and Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN) Janet Hayes from the California Department of Public Health, conducted a tele-visit via Teams Meeting to provide technical assistance to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility. LPA and HFEN met with Licensee Leilani Cortes.
At around 3:40pm, HFEN/LPA virtually toured the facility. COVID-19 related postings were visible at the entrance of the facility. There was a screening station by the front door. There were 2 staff present at the facility and both were observed wearing masks and face shields.
HFEN/LPA recommended the following areas of infection control practices to prevent, contain, and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility:
(1) N95s and face shields need to be worn in the facility by all staff and visitors until 2 consecutive rounds of mass testing are negative for any remaining residents or staff, who have not tested positive in the last 90 days. Gowns and gloves should also be worn in resident rooms. The county DPH will clear once this has happened.
(2) Screening questions should be completed for all staff each day as they start their shift as well as any visitors. See screening form link.
(3) Clean, new gowns and gloves should be put on before entering the room and should be thrown away before leaving the room. Gowns should not be reused and gloves should not be worn outside the residents rooms. Follow CDC guidance link.
