Deficiency in Emergency Preparedness Plan
Summary
The facility was found to be non-compliant with emergency preparedness requirements during a recertification survey. Specifically, the facility's emergency preparedness plan lacked documented strategies for addressing certain emergency events identified by the risk assessment. These missing strategies included provisions for cyber-attacks, care-related emergencies, and the use of portable generators. Additionally, the plan for Pandemic/Emerging Infectious Disease had not been updated within the past year. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, and it was noted that the absence of these strategies could potentially affect all residents at the facility.
