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 Magdalina Gurau, who LPA Colvin found to be successfully incorporating the several aspects of the facility's Infection Control Plan. Residents have hand sanitizer available to them, and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels. While touring the facility, LPA Colvin observed postings throughout the facility 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 Magdalina Gurau 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.
