  • 87411(a)Type A

    87411(a) Personnel Requirements - General Facility personnel shall at all times be sufficient in numbers, and competent to provide the services necessary to meet resident needs. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on records review it was determined that the licensee failed to provide adequate care and supervision to R1 which resulted in R1 going out to the back yard of the facility on a hot day unknown to staff. This resulted in the death of the resident which poses an immediate health and safety risk to residents in care.
