Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Regarding the allegation: Staff not wearing masks. It was alleged that on 5/10/2022, a visitor came into the facility and observed that staff were not wearing face masks. During today’s visit, the LPA observed staff not wearing face masks at time of arrival. The LPA’s observation supported claims from a credible witness that staff are not wearing masks when in close contact with residents. The LPA discussed masking guidelines with Administrator Susan Caldwell. Staff did put masks on immediately upon the LPA’s observation. Based on the investigation, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that staff were not wearing the required personal protection equipment (PPE). This allegation is deemed Substantiated at this time. Per the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following deficiencies were observed and cited during the visit (See 9099-D). Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was provided.
