State Findings:
Based on observation, record review and interview, the following was discovered:
Residents who had tested positive for COVID 19 (a potentially deadly infectious [MEDICAL CONDITION] disease that is easily transmitted from person to person) and who required isolation and separation from other residents and staff were being housed in the same rooms with residents who had unknown COVID 19 status.
A resident who was on isolation precautions due to unknown COVID 19 status was observed to exit her room, pass through hallways and enter into common areas.
A resident who was on isolation precautions due to possible COVID 19 exposure during appointments outside of the facility was observed to exit his room pass through several open areas, enter a courtyard and move to a smoking area where he sat within three feet of other resident smokers.
This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy being called on 07/15/20 at 7:23 pm. The Administrator (ADM) and Director of Nursing (DON) were both notified at this time.
A first plan of removal was received on 07/16/20 at 9:44 am and rejected on 07/16/20 at 1:26 pm. A third plan of removal was approved and verified on 07/17/20 at 5:58 pm. The facility Administrator was notified.
