25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of completing the facility's Annual Inspection. LPA Colvin met with facility staff Shawn Morris and advised of the purpose of the visit, and that the Annual Inspection will be limited to Infection Control only. Below is a summary of what was observed:
Infection Control: LPA Colvin went over COVID-19 best practices for infection control and prevention with facility staff Shawn Morris, and reviewed the facility's Mitigation Plan. Residents have hand sanitizer available to them, and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels, and hand washing guides are posted. Upon entering the facility, LPA Colvin observed postings for cough etiquette, social distancing, and infection control. LPA Colvin requested to view the facility's PPE supplies (gloves, masks, and sanitizer, and isolation gowns) which LPA Colvin observed to be sufficient for a 30-day supply and accessible to staff. LPA Colvin went over the various recommended training for facility staff with facility staff Shawn Morris in relation to COVID-19 and confirmed that staff have been trained on various aspects of infection control, recognition of symptoms of COVID-19, and donning/doffing PPE.
Facility staff Shawn Morris confirmed that designated staff have been fit tested for N95 masks. LPA Colvin also inquired about if the facility is still screening their residents daily for COVID-19 symptoms, which includes checking their temperature. Facility staff Shawn Morris confirmed that staff are continuing to monitor residents’ symptoms, and that both staff and visitors are screened for COVID-19 symptoms prior to entering the facility, which LPA Colvin confirmed through being screened upon entry as well. LPA Colvin additionally observed a sign-in log for visitors, where their temperature is recorded as well as answers to screening questions. LPA Colvin observed that residents have single bedrooms and are able to isolate if needed, and facility has isolation kit ready for the possibility of needing residents to isolate in rooms.
LPA Colvin conducted an exit interview with facility staff Shawn Morris, and provided a copy of this report. |
