32 | BACKYARD: The backyard has a covered outdoor area equipped with furniture for resident use. There were no bodies of water noted. The facility has one (1) shed in the backyard that is utilized for additional storage.
RECORDS: Residents’ records review began at 3:00 p.m., records were reviewed for, but not limited to care plans, medical records, admissions agreement, consent forms. All records were in order.
Personnel records were reviewed for, but not limited to health assessments, criminal record clearances, first aid/CPR training, and the appropriate training. All files were in order.
MEDICATIONS: Medications review began at 4:00 p.m; medications are centrally stored and locked in a cabinet in the common area; medications are labeled and checked for expiration dates. Medications are properly documented on the centrally stored medications and destruction record. The audit revealed that one out of three prescription medication bottles contained more pills than the actual number stated in the prescription bottle. Per the Administrator, the staff transferred pills from a current prescription bottle to a newly received prescription bottle, consequently, the number of pills in the bottles audited did not reflect the amount of pills per the new filled prescription.
INFECTION CONTROL: Upon entry, the facility has a central entry point for symptom screening, temperature checks, and sanitation station. The facility has an adequate supply of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and the facility is able to obtain additional supplies as needed. The facility’s cleaning protocol is sufficient. If needed, the facility has the capacity to designate a single isolation room if the facility has a confirmed case of COVID-19. The LPAs discussed the new PIN changes regarding infection control.
The LPAs obtained the following documents:
- LIC500 Personnel Report
- LIC9020 Client Roster
