Inspection Report

Complaint Investigation
Census: 50 Deficiencies: 1 Date: Oct 3, 2023

Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted due to concerns about the facility's failure to maintain an infection prevention and control program, specifically related to COVID-19 infection control practices and resident placement.

Complaint Details
The visit was complaint-related due to failure to follow infection control practices for COVID-19, including improper rooming of COVID-19 positive and negative residents and failure to notify families. Immediate jeopardy was identified starting 2023-09-23 and removed on 2023-09-30.
Findings
The facility failed to separate residents who tested positive for COVID-19 from those who tested negative, placing residents at increased risk of infection. Staff did not notify families of positive cases, and housekeeping staff shortages and lack of knowledge about deep cleaning procedures contributed to the issue. Immediate jeopardy was identified but later removed after corrective actions were implemented.
