Routine inspection·November 15, 2022

On 11/15/2022 at 1:00 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rayshaun Nickolas conducted an unannounced visit to the facility. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a required annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA Nickolas arrived and met with Licensees Herminia and Robert Rogovin, and explained the purpose of the visit. During the inspection, LPA Nickolas conducted a tour of the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures and other health and safety concerns. LPA observed appropriate postings throughout the facility, including hand-washing etiquette, face coverings, and COVID-19 symptoms postings. The facility was also equipped with sufficient hand hygiene supplies, sufficient cleaning/disinfecting provisions, and a supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). LPA observed facility staff were wearing face coverings. The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases, ensuring PPE supplies are maintained, cleaning and disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities, and that staff are trained in the facility's infection control measures. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolating/quarantining clients, and properly caring for residents with COVID-19 positive results and/or exposures. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor clients regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the client's physician and emergency personnel in the event the client presents any COVID-19 symptoms. LPA also conducted a record review. During the record review, LPA observed that the facility does not have on file documentation of a medical assessment, signed by a physician, made within the last year for all clients in care. Based on observations made during today’s inspection, one deficiency was cited per Title 22, Division 6, of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, LIC 809D, and Appeal Rights were given to the Licensees.
