Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Christine Dolores conducted a scheduled technical assistance visit and met with Administrator, Cecilia Claridad. During visit, LPA conducted a Zoom tour of the facility with Program Clinical Consultant (PCC) Roxane Fangon and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Romeo Manzano. The purpose of the visit was to provide technical assistance to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility.

During today's tele-visit, the following recommendations were made to the facility by PCC:

1. Post a sign at the entrance requiring face masks before entering in the facility

2. Move the screening area to another location at the entrance that is not on the sink to reduce contamination

3. Provide hand soap, paper towels, hand washing sign, and a trash can with lid next to all hand washing areas

4. Remove the tumblrs inside the designated bathroom used for the COVID positive resident. Ensure to wash/sanitize the tumblrs prior to placing them back in the bathroom after isolation period

5. Review the correct sequence of donning and doffing PPE

6. Review how to perform a N95 seal check until all staff are N95 fit-tested

8. Ensure to clean and disinfect common surface areas 3 times a day and as often as needed

9. After isolation period, ensure to clean and disinfect the facility. Aerate the facility for about 2 hours if weather permits. Wash the COVID positive resident's laundry/linens in the hottest setting
