25 | LIcensing Program Analyst Jill Nakagawa arrived unannounced to do an Annual Inspection of the Veterans Home of California, Truman Hall, on 3/17/22 at approximately 9:37 AM. LPA met with Angela Briles, who is currently completing the paperwork to take over as Administrator of the facility. The Inspection is focused on Covid-19 Protocols.
The facility is nestled amongst several other facilities (not within DSS licensure) on the Yountville Campus. Covid-19 screening protocols are taken care of at the front gate. A questionnaire and temperature check are done by the guard at the gate. Covid-19 Rapid Response Testing is available at the gate, if needed.
LPA met with AB at the Administration Building where "New Administrator" paperwork was collected. Then AB took LPA over to Building F, Truman Hall, where the RCFE facility is housed. There are currently 31 residents. They are presently under isolation due to a staff person testing positive. Testing will be done on 3/18 and the isolation will continue until 3/26 unless other positive cases are detected. Residents are receiving meals and medications in their rooms. The Activities/Therapy staff are providing activities and outreach on a one-to-one basis. When isolation is over the residents will be able to return to the Dining Room, a short walk under a covered walkway.
Rooms are outfitted with required bed, chair, nightstand and light. Also have desk, dresser. There are common bathrooms, which were clean and outfitted with handrails, soap and paper towels. Water temperature is tested at least once a month. The current readings were between 119.4 F and 120.3 F. There were signs in each bathroom illustrating Covid-19 protocols for handwashing. Exit doors had reminders about Covid-19 protocols of social distancing and wearing masks.
There were no deficiencies found during this inspection and no citations issued.
Exit interview completed with Angela Briles.
