LPA met with Assistant Administrator Erika Montoya who confirmed there is no active/suspected Covid-19 case and/or exposure in the community. LPA toured the facility with Montoya.
The facility submitted a mitigation plan to Community Care Licensing (CCL) to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the facility. Single entry point at the skilled nursing facility lobby maintains the sign-in policy for universal entry screening. The facility also documents temperature and COVID-19 symptom checks for all visitors while residents are subject to regular observations for any change in condition. Continued weekly routine testing for staff is still observed. LPA observed all staff are properly fitted with face coverings.
LPA Bueno and Montoya toured the facility’s common rooms and an empty private apartment currently housing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . LPA and Montoya observed COVID precautionary signages around the facility. Montoya verified that the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fire alarms are maintained by an outside vendor and was last serviced in 8/13/2021.
