32 | It was disclosed to LPA by staff S1, the front door was key locked because they were getting ready for lunch and wanted to make sure no one got out. LPA went over the responsibility of facility staff to provide care and supervision at all times and that locking a door with a key as a form of supervision is not appropriate as it violates Fire safety protocols to ensure the safety of residents and staff exiting a facility incase of a fire.
Immediate Civil Penalty assessed in the amount of $500 during today's inspection for Zero Tolerance violation ; 87203 Fire Safety.
In addition, LPA went over Death report the facility submitted for resident R1.
It was disclosed resident R1 was loosing their appetite and refusing meals on 1/20/22 and notified R1s physician. R1's physician made a visit to the facility on 1/26/2022 and saw R1. R1 was sent out to hospital on 2/1/2022 by facility and R1 was noted to may have suffered a stroke. R1 was placed on Hospice comfort care on 2/3/2022 and discharged to the facility/home on 2/4/2022. R1 expired on 2/5/2022 and a Death report was submitted to CCL by the facility. In review of records and Hospice plan, it was observed R1 returned to the facility on Hospice but was bed bound. Facility explained they understood from hospital it was Hospice and comfort care and understand they may not accept any bedridden residents unless they have approval to have bedridden residents by the Fire department. Facility disclosed they were not allowed to see R1 at the hospital when being discharged but understand now, they need to be in communication with the hospital in regards to the needs of the resident to ensure the facility can meet those needs. LPA consulted and answered administrators questions regarding observance of a resident, documentation, resident needs, facility and staff responsibility.
