The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a new Provider Information Notice (PIN) in response to the Governor's Proclamations of a State of Emergency due to fires in several counties. Healthcare facilities, including nursing homes, located in the affected counties must contact their local Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) Regional Office for assistance with licensing concerns or navigating the impacts of the fires. Adult and Senior Care (ASC) providers should refer to PIN 20-28-ASC for guidance on evacuating and transferring residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. CDSS recommends including COVID-19 test/vaccine records in each resident's needs and services file to facilitate evacuations to shelters. Providers are advised to review relevant PINs, sign up for notifications of new PINs, and visit the CDSS website for the latest information. For updates on the fires and future Proclamations of a State of Emergency, providers should visit the Governor's webpage and the CCLD website.
