Comments

The Emergency exits were reviewed and were seen to be free of obstacles. The meeting space post evacuation as per the emergency plan is the bottom of the driveway. There is only one sleeping overnight person. The PIC living on the first floor needs to be evacuated per wheel chair. The bedroom exit door goes out to a concrete patio, but the patio has a step (7") high before the wheelchair can get to the level to get down the driveway. The manager expressed concern that a staff of small stature would have difficulty getting the wheelchair over the 7" rise in the concrete, and would also have a lot of difficulty pushing the wheelchair for approx. 20 yards over the grass around the step, particularly if the grass has been rained on for weeks.
Please provide a plan to ensure that evacuation of the house can be expedited and safety of staff is ensured. It is also noted that staff must re-enter the house to evacuate two other PICs. One of the upstairs PIC's is anticipated to have difficulty ambulating down the escape stairs.

The medication administration policy was reviewed. It was noted that there is one PIC who receives a PRN for pain at a vocational site. The direction in the policy does not provide guidance to facility/vacational staff for the management of the MAR that is completed at the vocational site. The facility staff need to know whether the PRNs have been administered and the pain has been managed.
Please provide a plan that allow the policy to direct staff in order to determine how medications (MAR sheet) are to be monitored for PIC in vocational/day program.

This facility has achieved an very much improved level of compliance. I would like to thank the staff and residents for their assistance in this inspection.
