13 | LPA Willis conducted a Televisit with Licensee, Melissa Genet due to Covid-19 precautions.
LPA received information that a a staff was not wearing a mask while in the facility and when asked to put it on, seemed confused by the request and delayed putting on the mask. Interview with Licensee confirmed that staff was not wearing a mask and expressed the difficulty of providing care to residents with dementia while wearing a mask but understands that masks must be worn. On November 13, 2020, licensee failed to protect the personal rights of clients in care to receive safe and healthful accommodations and engaged in conduct inimical to the health, welfare, and safety of clients in care, in that staff failed to wear face coverings while providing care and supervision to clients in care, in violation of official government orders requiring the wearing of face coverings while working under specified conditions.
The allegation that faciltiy staff is failing to wear masks/face coverings is Substantiated. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. |
