The interview revealed 6 of 6 residents denied the allegation. On 12/21/2022 at 1:05pm a record review was conducted and revealed the following: Facility staff has completed in service training related to COVID-19. A tour of the physical plant was conducted, and supplies of personal protection equipment were stored in the front office, med room, administrator’s office, and supply room adjacent to the front office. PPEs are accessible to staff in the storage room and the front office. LPA Scott conducted an in-office file review of the facility file, provider information notices (PINS), and approved facility mitigation plan, facility COVID-19 line-list, and guidance from Long Beach Department of Public Health (DPH). Based on interviews, observations, and records review there was in sufficient evidence to support the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was given to administrator, Camille Crenshaw.
