The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff did not take proper steps to mitigate the spread of a communicable disease. It was reported that there were deficiencies in staff’s covid-19 prevention efforts. On 9/29/25, LPA Felisa Shirley reviewed Savant of Santa Monica’s Infection Control plan and staff were found to be in compliance with established protocols. Upon further investigation LPA Shirley observed the annual In-Service Signature Sheet for Covid, Infection Control and PPD done and doffing. LPA Shirley also observed the Cleaning and Disinfection Log for sanitizing frequently touched surfaces signed by staff and the Maintenance Director. During the tour of this facility, LPA Shirley observed the PPE Supply Carts that were utilized by staff during the period of isolation for the purpose of preventing the spread of infectious disease. LPA interviewed staff 1 – staff 8 (S-1 – S-8). Of those interviewed 8 out of 8 denied the allegation. LPA interviewed resident 1 – resident 10 (R1 – R10). Of those who interviewed 8 denied the allegation, 1 confirmed the allegation and 1 was not sure. Based on information gathered, LPA did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation “Staff did not take proper steps to mitigate the spread of a communicable disease,” therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiencies were cited for these allegations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the Business Office Manager, Shiree McCutchen.
