25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ashley Smith arrived unannounced to conduct a required annual visit, which has an emphasis on infection control practices and procedures. The LPA spoke with Executive Director Dmitry Estrin over the phone and informed them of the reason for the visit. Mr. Estrin arrived shortly after.
The LPA, along with staff, toured the physical plant areas inside and outside to ensure there are no health and safety hazards and community is in compliance with Title 22 Regulations. This community is an Independent Living section of the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). The facility is a gate-guarded community with 24-hour security. There are 4 main buildings: Lakeview, Creekview, Mountainview and Gardenview. Upon entry, the community has a central entry point at the gate for symptom screening and temperature checks for residents, staff, and visitors. Residents and staff were observed wearing appropriate face coverings.
The Clubhouse has a commercial kitchen, the dining rooms, and various activity rooms. The community has a swimming pool and a spa, both of which are appropriately fenced with self-locking gates. The community also has a fitness center and a theater. Throughout today’s visit, the LPA observed appropriate signs in common areas that promoted hand hygiene, physical distancing, and cough/sneeze etiquette. In addition, the LPA observed hands-free hand sanitizer interspersed throughout the common grounds.
During today’s visit, the LPA spoke with the Executive Director regarding the community's infection control practices. The community has an adequate supply of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and is able to obtain additional supplies. The community's cleaning protocol is sufficient. The Executive Director sends out updates pertinent to the community's infection control practices via mass voice messaging and weekly newsletters to the residents and next-of-kin. As residents that reside in this community are independent, should a confirmed case of COVID-19 arise, residents can be appropriately isolated in their individual apartments. The community's policies and procedures as it pertains to infection control are adequate.
No deficiencies cited at this time. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was issued.
