“Based on record review and interview, the health care institution failed to ensure the health care institution developed and administered a training program for all staff regarding fall prevention and fall recovery that included initial training and continued competency training. The deficient practice posed a risk to the physical health and safety of a resident. Findings include: 1. Review of E1's personnel record revealed E1 had a hire date of October 1, 2024. The personnel record did not include documentation that showed E1 completed fall prevention and fall recovery training.  2. In an exit interview, findings were discussed with E1 and no additional information was provided.”

“Based on documentation review, observation, and interview, the manager failed to ensure there was a means of exiting the facility for a resident who did not have a key, special knowledge for egress, or the ability to expend increased physical effort, that provided access to an outside area, and monitored or alerted employees of the egress of a resident from the facility. The deficient practice posed a risk if the facility was unaware of the general or specific whereabouts of a resident. Findings include: 1. Review of the license issued by the Department revealed the facility was authorized to provide directed care services. 2. During the environmental inspection, the Compliance Officer observed that the back door leading to the outdoors did not alert when opened.

In an exit interview, the findings were discussed with E1 and no additional information was provided.”

“Based on documentation review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a disaster plan was reviewed at least once every 12 months.

A review of the facility's Disaster Relocation Plan revealed the disaster plan was last reviewed on June 30, 2023. 2. A review of the facility's policies and procedures revealed a policy titled "Emergency and Safety" that stated, "2. The disaster required in subsection (A)(1) is reviewed and the review is documented at least once every 12 months..." 3. In an exit interview, the findings were discussed with E1 and no additional information was provided.”

“Based on documentation review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a disaster drill for employees was conducted on each shift at least once every three months and documented.

A review of the facility's disaster drills revealed a drill conducted on the following dates and times: September 3, 2024 - 9:15 AM September 3, 2024 - 2:40 PM September 2, 2025 - 7:30 AM 3.

“Based on observation and interview, the manager failed to ensure that a rechargeable fire extinguisher was serviced at least once every 12 months, and had a tag attached to the fire extinguisher that specified the date of the last servicing and the identification of the person who serviced the fire extinguisher. The deficient practice posed a risk if safety measures were not in place to protect residents in a fire. Findings include: 1. During an environmental inspection of the facility, the Compliance Officer observed two fire extinguishers that contained no inspection tag, and the proof of purchase receipts were dated October 5, 2021 and July 16, 2024. 2. In an exit interview, the findings were reviewed with E1 and no additional information was added.”
