The need to ensure all PRN medications had resident-specific parameters and instructions was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (Health Services Director) on 01/23/25. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

The errors identified were all related to residents receiving services/care through hospice. Our community nurse has reviewed all hospice medication orders for all current residents receiving services from hospice providers and has updated orders to ensure clarity. Community nurse will review future orders prior to approving and reviewed by Director of Health Services. Where multiple med orders are provided for same symptoms, these orders have been adjusted to identify which med should be given first (with parameters), which meds should be used secondarily (with parameters) etc. Director of Health Services will meet with each of the hospice providers to discuss findings and communicate expectations with respect to med order clarity.

We have taken the initial (move-in) fire training and have developed a "classroom" offering as well as a video that will be aired on our internal channel of 1981 for all residents. The offerings/presentations have occured in May for the annual training. The Facility Director will be going door to door with a portable viewing device to ensure that all residents who missed the training in May have received it prior to our compliance date of 7/4/2025. Moving forward this video training will occur at least annually during the all resident monthly meetings. The next annual training will occur in May of 2026. The training will be provided by the Facilities Director and qualified team members from the Facilities Department. Compliance will be monitored by the Executive Director. The Facilities Director will monitor annual attendence by the residents by reviewing the attendence tracker and highlighting those that missed the in-person training. For all residents who missed the in-person training, the Facilities Director will go directly to each residents apartment and show the video to them directly via a portable viewing system. After each resident in the building has been marked off the training roster, the ED will give a final signature before the attendence tracker is placed in the Fire and Life Safety Binder housed at the reception desk. We will conitue to document attendance and maintain these records for future review.

Pursuant to the rule, all 36 exterior doors will be monitored 24/7 for exits and entries. The monitoring of these doors will be incorporated into our electronic monitoring system, iAlert, which means that the doors will not emit an audible alarm. During daytime hours (7 am to 8 pm), monitoring will be overseen by administrative staff to include receptionists, resident relations staff, life enrichment staff, and maintenance staff. During sleeping hours (8 pm to 7 am), monitoring will be overseen by all caregiver team members on duty. Additional parts and materials have been ordered to complete the needed changes and should be received and installed prior to the end of the compliance period. The Facilities Director and the Executive Director will ensure completion and the ED will routinely monitor for compliance.
