Routine inspection·August 20, 2021

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elizabeth Hamilton conducted an annual required licensing inspection. This annual inspection was focused on infection control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA was greeted at the front door by Administrator, Eva Paras and granted entry after identifying herself. LPA Hamilton explained the purpose of the visit with both Administrator Paras and Licensee, Lynell Gerona. This facility serves six (6) residents age 60 and over; all of whom may be non-ambulatory. During today's visit, LPA toured the facility, and verified compliance with infection control practices. LPA and Administrator Paras reviewed the facility’s COVID-19 Mitigation Plan. LPA observed one central entry point; routine symptom screening initiated at entry for staff, residents and visitors; a sign-in policy enacted for all visitors; signs throughout the facility to promote hand hygiene, face coverings worn by staff; hand sanitizer/hand washing stations readily available; a designated visitation area; and an adequate supply of PPE and disinfectants. LPA discussed the Provider Information Notice (PIN) regarding updated guidance on visitation and moving the universal screening to the front door. Based on today's visit, no deficiencies were observed in the areas evaluated above. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Gerona and a copy of this report along with the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) was provided via email. An electronic receipt of confirmation was requested to be sent by the Licensee upon receipt of the documents.
