“Based on documentation review, observation, and interview, the manager failed to ensure that there was a means of exiting the facility that monitored or alerted employees of the egress of a resident from the facility. This deficient practice posed a risk if the facility was unaware of the general or specific whereabouts of a resident. Findings include:  1. A review of Department documentation revealed the facility was licensed to provide directed care services. 2. During an environmental tour, the Compliance Officers observed the following exit door did not contain working alerts:  An unmonitored exit door in a resident’s room that led to the backyard.  3. In an interview, E1 reported that E1 would get the alarm fixed.  4. In an exit interview, the findings were discussed with E1, and no additional information was provided.”
