“Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure an employee provided documentation of freedom from infectious tuberculosis (TB), for one of three employees who had or was expected to have more than eight hours of direct interaction with residents. The deficient practice posed a high potential health and safety risk to residents and staff of TB exposure. Findings include: 1 A review of E2's personnel record revealed that E2 was hired as a caregiver in December 2024. 2. A review of E2's personnel record revealed two TB skin tests dated December 2, 2024, and January 7, 2025. No additional documentation of freedom from infectious TB was available for review on or before E2 began providing services to the resident. This documentation was required based on E2's hire date.   3. In an interview, E1 acknowledged E2 did not provide documentation of freedom from infectious TB as specified in R9-10-113 on or before the date the individual began providing services at or on behalf of the assisted living facility.”

“Based on documentation review and interview, the manager failed to ensure the facility's disaster plan was reviewed at least once every 12 months. The deficient practice posed a risk as a disaster plan reinforces and clarifies standards expected of employees. Findings include:  1. A review of the facility's policies and procedures revealed the facility's disaster plan was reviewed in 2022 and 2023. However, no additional documentation for review was available.  2. In an interview, E1 acknowledged that the facility's disaster plan was not reviewed at least once every 12 months.”
