25 | Licensing Program Manager Julio Montes, Licensing Program Analyst Joanne Roadilla and Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN) Barbie Henson from the California Department of Public Health, conducted a tele-visit via Zoom to provide technical assistance to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility. LPM, LPA and HFEN met with Executive Director Nelson Rodrigues and Director of Health Services, Adriana De La O.
At around 1:30pm, LPM/LPA/HFEN virtually toured the residential living side of the community including the memory care (MC) unit. COVID-19 postings were visible throughout the facility. A screening station was observed at the central entry and hand sanitizers were observed in common areas at the facility. Social distancing guidelines are being implemented, some residents at the MC unit were observed watching TV and were seated at least 6 feet apart from each other. Staff were observed wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
HFEN suggested the following areas of infection control practices to prevent, contain, and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility:
1. Plan to designate an area for COVID-19 positive residents and have a dedicated staff with their own break room and bathroom so the facility can minimize co-mingling between positive and negative residents.
2. Replace the trash bins in bathrooms with lidded trash cans that are foot operated to prevent cross contamination.
This report was provided to Nelson Rodrigues and Adriana De La O for review then sign and mail back to CCL. |
