Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct an annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control. The LPA arrived at approximately 11:47 AM, signed in and utilized hand sanitizer. The LPA met with Licensee, Cecile Jimeno, and informed her of the purpose of her visit. There are currently no cases of COVID-19 within the facility.

During today's visit, the LPA toured the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. The LPA observed sufficient hand hygiene supplies and cleaning and disinfecting provisions. The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases, ensuring cleaning and disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities, and that staff are trained in the proper use and disposal of PPE and overall infection control. The facility has a plan in place (Plan for Epidemic Outbreak Specific to COVID-19 Mitigation Plan Report) which is pending review by the Department. The plan discusses when and how long to test staff and residents for COVID-19, when and how to isolate/quarantine residents, and when to schedule cleaning and disinfection times of high traffic and frequently touched areas. The plan also addresses monitoring residents regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the resident's physician and all emergency agencies in the event of any COVID-19 related and/or suspected illnesses.

Based on the observations made during today’s visit, no deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview to review this report was conducted with Jimeno and a copy was provided.
