32 | -Buildings one and two have fences around them and they have locked gates that require codes to open them. The facility is required to have a waiver to have the locked perimeter. This was not addressed in the application that was submitted and therefore not addressed by the application specialist from CCLD. The LPA who did the prelicensing visit did not address it. The facility is not being cited for this during this visit, but the licensee shall submit a waiver request for the locked waiver perimeter.
Per Care of Persons with Dementia 87705(l) The following initial and continuing requirements shall be met for the licensee to lock exterior doors or perimeter fence gates:
(1) Licensees shall notify the licensing agency of their intention to lock exterior doors and/or perimeter fence gates.
(2) The licensee shall ensure that the fire clearance includes approval of locked exterior doors or locked perimeter fence gates.
(3) The licensee shall obtain a waiver from Section 87468(a)(6), to prevent residents from leaving the facility.
(A) Facility staff shall attempt to redirect any unaccompanied resident(s) leaving the facility.
(4) The licensee shall maintain either of the following documents in the resident's record at the facility:
(A) The conservator's written consent for admission for each resident who has been conserved under the Probate Code or the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act; or
(B) A written statement signed by each non-conserved resident that states the resident understands that the facility has exterior door locks or perimeter fence gate locks and that the resident voluntarily consents to admission.
(5) Interior and exterior space shall be available on the facility premises to permit residents with dementia to wander freely and safely.
(6) Locked exterior doors or perimeter fences with locked gates shall not substitute for trained staff in sufficient numbers to meet the care and supervision needs of all residents.
(7) The licensee shall not accept or retain residents determined by a physician to have a primary diagnosis of a mental disorder unrelated to dementia.
(8) Fire and earthquake drills shall be conducted at least once every three months on each shift and shall include, at a minimum, all direct care staff.
