On-site initial monitoring inspection of an Assisted Living Home conducted on July 10, 2023.
Findings
This inspection found six deficiencies related to policy availability, resident documentation, acceptance criteria, service documentation, and refrigerator temperature controls. Plans of correction were provided for all deficiencies.
Deficiencies (6)
The manager failed to ensure policies and procedures were available to employees and volunteers of the assisted living facility, as the policies were in the process of being digitized and not accessible at the time of the survey.
The manager failed to ensure that before or at acceptance, two residents submitted documentation dated within 90 days, signed by an authorized medical professional, indicating their need for continuous medical or nursing services or restraints.
The manager accepted and retained a resident whose primary condition was a behavioral health issue, which was outside the facility's scope of services, posing a risk to meeting the resident's needs.
The manager failed to ensure caregivers documented the services provided in the medical records for three residents, making it impossible to verify services against the service plans.
The manager failed to ensure foods requiring refrigeration were maintained at 41°F or below, with observed refrigerator temperatures as high as 48.6°F, posing a risk for foodborne illnesses.
The manager failed to ensure the refrigerator used to store food contained a thermometer accurate to plus or minus 3°F placed at the warmest part of the refrigerator, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
