Facility Evaluation Report
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anna Bueno conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct a required annual inspection with an emphasis on infection control. LPA identified herself to licensee Debbie Vickers. Licensee verified that the facility currently has no active and/or suspected COVID-19 cases.
During the inspection, LPA Bueno interviewed Licensee regarding the facility's infection control measures and inspected the facility for regulatory compliance. LPA observed appropriate postings in the facility, including COVID-19 symptoms and infection control postings, which were in accordance with the Department's guidelines. LPA observed that the facility was also equipped with sufficient hand hygiene supplies, sufficient cleaning/disinfecting provisions, and a supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases 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 guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolation, and properly caring for clients with COVID-19 positive results and/or exposures. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor residents regularly for any changes in condition and to notify the resident's physician and emergency personnel in the event the resident presents any COVID-19 symptoms.
During the inspection, LPA observed that 2 of 3 bedrooms did not have chairs or night stands. This poses a potential health, safety, or personal right risk to clients in care. Refer to LIC809D for deficiency cited. Technical advisories were provided to maintain a logs for facility visitors and daily temperature and Covid-19 symptom log, and to remind staff to wear face coverings.
