Complaint Investigation Report

Interviews revealed that staff advised the hospital they would have to observe and reassess C1 prior to their return. While C1 was at the hospital the facility had an Health care associated Infections (HAI) visit on 11/19/2021. The report documenting the visit does request that staff get fit tested for N95s when dealing with a client that has tested positive for Covid. Interviews revealed staff did not have an issue with the client coming back to their home since they have lived there since 2004. They wanted to follow protocol from the County of San Diego health care nurse that explained the importance of the N95 fit testing to protect the staff and other clients. Interviews revealed that the one staff that would be working directly with C1 was fit tested on November 27, 2021. There were 4 staff in total that were fit tested on November 30, 2021 that could work with C1 when they returned. Interviews revealed that staff did not once state that the client couldn't come back to the facility. C1 returned to the facility on 11/30/2021.

The allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Trina Packard. A copy of this report and Licensee Appeal Rights (9058 01/16) were emailed to Administrator after the conclusion of the visit, LPA Holmes requested an electronic message reply to confirm receipt of these documents.
