11228 | ANSTED CENTER | 515133 | 106 TYREE STREET OPERATIONS, LLC /P.O DRAWER 400 | ANSTED | WV | 25812 | 2009-11-13 | 323 | E | 1 | 0 | 0T3Z12 | Based on observation, staff interview, and record review, the facility failed to assure the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as is possible. Staff disabled the alarming system and propped the front door open at 10:00 p.m. on the night of 11/10/09. This deficient practice placed all residents at risk should an unauthorized individual with nefarious intentions enter the facility undetected, or a confused resident not equipped with a WanderGuard device exit the facility undetected. Facility census: 54. Findings include: a) Upon arrival at the facility to conduct an unannounced follow-up survey at 10:00 p.m. on 11/10/09, observation found the front interior entrance doors were propped open with the use of the survey results notebook. When the door was pulled opened, no alarm sounded to alert staff members that someone had either entered or exited the facility. When inquiry was made of the registered nurse (RN) supervisor as to the practice of propping open the front door and turning off the alarm, the RN stated it was shift change and they did not want to have to keep getting up, unlocking the door, and turning off the alarm to let in staff members. An interview was conducted with the administrator at 12:15 a.m. on 11/11/09. He stated the doors were to be locked and the alarm turned on prior to the 9:00 p.m. medication pass. He stated the alarm that had been turned off was recently installed to provide added security, and it required a key to turn it on and off. He stated it was not acceptable for the doors to be propped open and the alarm disabled. The administrator was asked, on the afternoon of 11/11/09, to assist in a test of the front door under the conditions found upon entrance to the facility. The interior front doors were propped open with the survey results notebook, and the administrator utilized a key to disable the alarm. Observation and performance testing found the facility could be entered and exited without audible detection. A WanderGuard device was obtained and tested with the door propped open and the alarm turned off. The WanderGuard system did sound an alarm. . | 2014-07-01 |
