Complaint Investigation Report

LPA Jensen interviewed staff 2 (S2) who advised that the isolation period is 5 days for COVID positive residents who are asymptomatic. S2 also advised that COVID positive residents are not having temperatures checked.

The isolation periods given by staff are inconsistent with current guidance provided by CCLD on isolation time frames for COVID positive residents. In addition, the facility is not following their COVID mitigation plan with respect to monitoring COVID positive residents for symptoms and temperatures. The COVID positive residents also do not have identifying signs posted outside of their rooms so they can be easily identified. The allegation of staff not following COVID mitigation is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding of substantiated means that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met.

Deficiencies are being cited as a result of this complaint investigation from the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, Division 6. Failure to correct deficiencies may result in the assessment of civil penalties.

An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was given to the Executive Director.
