Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The purpose of this grant is to assist the County with supporting nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities and long-term care facilities) to respond to SARS-CoV-2 infections, and to build and maintain the infection prevention infrastructure necessary to support resident, visitor, and facility healthcare personnel safety. Long-term care facility residents continue to be at highest risk of severe disease and death due to COVID-19, as well as other infectious conditions such as influenza, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and respiratory syncytial virus. This grant will enable the County to maintain and expand the infection control and prevention infrastructure achieved during the COVID-19 pandemic that protects these vulnerable residents.
The grant will build the County’s internal infection prevention capacity to provide education, training, and support to skilled nursing facilities and other long-term care facilities. County staff will engage facility leadership and infection preventionists to provide initial and refresher training for facility staff and caregivers on how to conduct and interpret point of care COVID-19 and influenza A/B antigen tests. County staff will also staff and support continued COVID-19 and influenza vaccination and help facilities to enroll in the California Immunization Registry in order to verify resident vaccination statuses.
