Thank you for visiting my site. My name is Robert Palardy from San Diego, California. I have been working as a Long Term Care Facility Infection Preventionist for the past 20 years and I honestly love my job. I have helped many new IP's in their facilities to be better prepared for their Infection Control Surveys.
Infection Preventionist is a difficult job in any LTC Facility. Prior to covid all we had to worry about was our annual recertification survey. But now not only do we have the annual survey, but now we have those surprise infection control surveys. Mitigation plan, F-888. Let me help your IP prepare for these surveys.
I have been an Infection Prevention's with the CDC Certificate in Infection Control. I also recently obtained the LTC-CIP certification through the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology. I am the senior Infection Preventionist at the company I work for and help with Mock Surveys and train all new IP's.
I have been an Infection Preventionist for the past 20 years all in Skilled Nursing Facilities. Like your IP in your facility we first learned how to do the job as an IP by learning on the job. We got valuable information from surveyors and a few seminars that we could attend. Then in 2017 a lot of us attended the two day infection control bootcamp given by Dolly Greene. Then in 2019 CMS required all skilled nursing facilities to have a full time Infection Preventionist and all IP's were required to obtain the CDC Infection Prevention Certificate. To further my education in infection control I recently obtained the new CBIC Long Term Care - Certified Infection Prevention Certification. I truly love my job as an infection prevention nurse. I have been fortunate to have Physicians that I work with give me their professional recommendations. I know its difficult for a facility and especially the IP of your facility to ask someone else to come in and review your Infection control program. But why not consider bringing in someone who only works in Skilled Nursing. I know the regulations, AFL's and can work one on one with your IP to help better prepare them for all your infection control surveys.
My Hourly Rate is $75/hr
