Date: Aug 5, 2014
Visit Reason
The visit was a Final Recertification Monitoring Evaluation conducted by the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals following a survey by DIA on August 5, 2014, to evaluate regulatory compliance in areas including Exit Door Alarm System, Transportation, and Record Checks at Hansen House Assisted Living.
Findings
The report identified regulatory insufficiencies in three areas: the exit door alarm system was not properly connected to all exit doors, the program lacked vehicles for tenant transportation and some drivers did not have the required licenses, and background checks for a staff member were incomplete at the time of employment. Each insufficiency requires a plan of correction.
Deficiencies (3)
An operating alarm system shall be connected to each exit door in a dementia-specific program.
The driver shall have a valid and appropriate Iowa driver's license or commercial driver's license as required by law for the vehicle being utilized for transport.
Prior to employment, the program shall request criminal history and abuse record checks for staff; the program did not have enough information to determine employment eligibility pending evaluation of criminal history.
