25 | An office meeting was held on this day via Teams. Present in the meeting were Regional Manager (RM) Krystall Moore, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Stephenie Doub, Program Clinical Consultant (PCC) Christina Wong, Licensee Representative Tej Dhillon and Sat Dhillon.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss recent COVID outbreak, mitigation measures, staff training and designation of an administrator. A tour was completed virtually to observe designated isolation rooms. It was recommended that the licensee place trash cans in each isolation room and outside of the isolation rooms to allow for proper donning and doffing of PPE. It was also recommended that carts be placed outside of each isolation room with PPE and posters demonstrating proper donning and doffing techniques. The facility has designated staff to care for COVID positive residents. A staff member was asked to demonstrate proper donning and doffing of PPE, which was observed. On 9/16/2021, Local Public Health provided donning and doffing training to staff present at the facility. Staff were scheduled to be fit tested on 9/22/2021. All residents were COVID tested using antigen testing on 9/16/2021 with negative results. Staff were to be tested on this day 9/17/2021. PCR testing was scheduled for 9/21/2021. It was also recommended that signage be placed in the elevator limiting only 2 persons in the elevator to encourage social distancing.
The licensee reported that they have a designated an Infection Preventionist (IP). The RO provided information for training for the IP through the CDC. The licensee was reminded that a line list need to be provided to the RO daily prior to the daily call. The line list needs to have all resident and staff names, date of birth, vaccination status, date of vaccination, type of vaccine, test dates and results. The Licensee informed the RO that they have hired an Administrator for the facility, but it was learned that this person currently does not hold a valid Administrator's Certificate. The Licensee was reminded that a person with a valid certificate needs to be present 40 hours at this time.
