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 Administrator Cheree Escandel 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 Administrator Cheree Escandel, 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. LPA Colvin went over the various recommended training for facility staff with Administrator Cheree Escandel 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. Administrator Cheree Escandel confirmed that all staff have been fit tested, and that they will be re-fit tested annually. LPA Colvin also inquired about if the facility is still screening their residents daily for COVID-19 symptoms, which includes checking their temperature. Administrator Cheree Escandel 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. LPAs Colvin additionally observed a sign-in log for visitors, where their temperature is recorded as well as answers to screening questions. Prior to today's inspection, LPA Colvin reviewed the COVID-19 test kits that were provided to the facility the previous day by Community Care Licensing (CCL), and observed that an extra 39 were provided in error. LPA Colvin resumed possession of these extra kits to return to the CCL Riverside Office for distribution to other facilities. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Cheree Escandel and a copy of this report was provided.
