Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to address violations observed during the investigation of complaint #18-AS-20200731095043. On July 16, 2020, R1's primary physician authorized their home health agency to provide wound management due to the pressure ulcer identified on the resident's coccyx. On July 16, 2020, a home health representative responded to the facility to evaluate R1, however, the representative was denied entry into the facility. Interviews reported Staff One (S1) was the staff responsible for denying entry to the home health representative. S1 was interviewed and denied having done so. This posed an immediate threat to the health and safety of the resident in care. A citation will be issued. Resident One (R1) was admitted to the hospital and confirmed COVID-19 positive. Several staff members indicate staff were not properly wearing masks throughout their shift. Resident Two (R2), began displaying COVID-19 symptoms on July 7, 2020, and was tested on July 10, 2020. The positive test results were returned on July 13, 2020 and R2 expired the same day. A few days later several residents were transported to the hospital. The facility did not conduct mass testing until July 29, 2020. This posed a potential threat to the health and safety of the residents in care. A citation will be issued. An exit interview was conducted; this report was reviewed with Heldoorn and a copy provided, along with the LIC 811 and Appeal Rights.
