FACILITY FAILED TO SET UP AN ONGOING QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND ASSURANCE GROUP TO REVIEW QUALITY DEFICIENCIES QUARTERLY, AND DEVELOP CORRECTIVE PLANS OF ACTION

LEVEL OF HARM –IMMEDIATE JEOPARDY

 
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**

Based on observation, record review and staff interviews the facility’s Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee (QAA) failed to maintain implemented procedures and monitor these interventions that the committee put into place in October of 2014. The deficiency was in the area of failure to prevent accidents. The continued failure of the facility during two federal surveys of record show a pattern of the facility’s inability to sustain an effective Quality Assurance Program.

Immediate Jeopardy began on 10/11/15 when Resident #116 left the facility unsupervised and was found by a visitor in the front parking lot of the facility. The resident’s wanderguard bracelet failed to activate the alarm system on the door. Immediate Jeopardy began on 11/12/15 when Resident #22 left the facility unsupervised and was found outside at night by staff. The dining room exit door failed to alarm due to a dead battery. Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 11/19/15 at 9:45 AM and was removed 11/20/15 at 10:07 AM when the facility provided and implemented a credible allegation of compliance.
