Summary

The facility failed to implement its infection prevention and control program by not ensuring clearly visible signage at the entrance to alert visitors of an active respiratory (coronavirus) outbreak. On the survey date at 7:45 AM, the DON informed surveyors that there was an active coronavirus outbreak, with thirteen active cases on one unit and one active case on another unit, and instructed the surveyors to wear masks. The surveyors noted that when they entered the facility earlier that morning at 7:00 AM, there was no clearly visible signage at the entrance alerting visitors to the outbreak. When questioned, the DON directed the surveyor to a sign taped to the top of the reception desk stating that all visitors must wear masks, but observation confirmed that this sign was not readily visible upon entry into the facility.
