32 | LPA Brown inquired as to if staff have been fit tested for N95 masks, and House Manager Latta informed LPA Brown that at this time staff have not been fit tested. LPA Brown will be issuing a Technical Assistance Advisory Note during today's inspection for staff not being fit tested for N95 masks. LPA Brown will not be issuing a deficiency for this item due to the facility not currently having any COVID-19 positive residents, and N95 masks only needing to be worn when a resident is COVID-19 positive or under observation while awaiting test results. Additionally, all residents and staff have been vaccinated and are practicing other COVID-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting COVID-19. LPA Brown informed House Manager Latta of the Provider Information Notice (PIN) PIN-21-10-ASC which contains resources for getting staff fit tested for N95 masks.
The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases, ensuring PPE supplies are maintained, cleaning and disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing guidelines for when and how long to test staff and their residents for COVID-19, when and how to isolate/quarantine resident, and when to schedule cleaning and disinfection times of high traffic and frequently touched areas. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor their residents regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the resident's physician and to notify all emergency agencies in the event of any COVID-19 related and/or suspected illnesses.
During the visit, LPA Brown requested staff vaccination records and on 03/30/2022 at 01:15 PM, LPA Brown observed no vaccination record for all staff at the facility. House Manager Latta contacted Licensee/Administrator Ebraheem Hamed and Licensee/Administrator Ebraheem Hamed reported that he had their staff vaccination records and Licensee/Administrator Ebraheem Hamed also confirmed that no staff vaccination record available at the facility but he will email staff vaccination records to LPA Brown during the visit. LPA Brown received copies of staff vaccination records via email and requested House Manager Latta to keep a copy at the facility. Also, LPA Brown observed expired Administrator certification for Administrator Ebraheem Hamed and LPA Brown contacted Administrator Hamed and he sent current Administrator Certificate to LPA Brown via email.
An exit interview was conducted with House Manager Lanny Latta and a copy of this report (LIC809), LIC809D, LIC9102 AN Technical Assistance Advisory Notes and Appeal Rights were discussed and provided.
