25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mota made contact on this date, virtually by Facetime, with Mercedes Vegvary for the purpose of a case management visit. LPA conducted a virtual inspection via Facetime. It is being conducted by Facetime due to COVID - 19 precautions. There are currently 9 residents in care, none of which are on hospice and some who have a diagnosis of dementia.
During today's inspection, LPA and Licensee toured the facility virtually. LPA observed staff wearing masks. LPA observed signs posted throughout the complex outside regarding no visitors, hand sanitation and signs/symptoms of COVID. LPA and Licensee toured the kitchen area where staff and residents are screened. COVID postings were observed. Screening includes temperatures being taken along with a questionnaire that is completed of possible symptoms. Hand sanitizer is not placed in residents rooms due to dementia diagnosis. Each room does have access to a sink area where hand washing is encouraged routinely per Licensee.
Licensee stated visitor's are being asked to visit residents via Facetime. If family does visit, the visit takes place outside through a gate with at least 6 foot distancing and all parties wear a mask.
LPA provided PIN 20-23 to Licensee regarding surveillance testing of staff. LPA discussed with Licensee the importance of speaking with staff regarding activities that they are involved in outside of the facility, ie: family gatherings, etc.
