COVID-19 check·June 16, 2022

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jill Nakagawa arrived unannounced to conduct an inspection regarding Covid-19 reporting. LPA found the facility clean and at a comfortable temperature. LPA met with Meri Tibbs, Med. Room Coordinator and Fernando Valadez, who is the Infection Control Specialist, as well as the Dietary Supervisor. LPA found that the facility is doing Response Testing and using the company Biocept for their PCR testing results, which is currently taking place weekly until two weeks of negative testing occurs. The last positive was reported on 6/9/22. Positive results are reported to both CCL and Yolo County Department of Health. LPA requested that when positive cases are reported that the vaccination and testing dates are included. Biocept Lab is taking approximately 1 week for PCR testing results. Rapid response antigen tests are not used for the response testing, but the facility does have them available if needed. Negative test results are not required by CCL to be reported at this time. There were no deficiencies or citations issued during this visit. LPA reviewed the findings with Med. Room Coordinator, Meri Tibbs, whose signature accompanies report.
