6400.112(a) | The home did not conduct fire drills during the months of July, 2012, October, 2012, November, 2012, and December 2012 | (a) An unannounced fire drill shall be held at least once a month.
| A random check on fire drills in January 2013. It was at this time we discovered some discrepancies which led to a full investigation. After the investigation, it was determined that fire drills were falsified and missing and the staff involved was terminated. Due to the time frame there was no way to go back and re-run fire drills to meet the regulation of having a fire drill on a monthly basis. While we cannot prevent falsification, we can closely monitor each drill in a timely manner so that any discrepancy is found within the same calendar month allowing for a valid drill to be run each month. Our plan of correction is as follows:
1. All staff was re-trained in fire drill specifics including filling out forms, necessity of accurate information and their signature indicates accuracy of the report. In addition to annual fire safety training in these specifics was done in April 2013 and will be done each year.
2. All fire drills submitted have and will continue to be verified by the administrative assistant by checking the alarm company report (protection one) online by the 28th of each month. If the information is inaccurate, the CRD Director will be notified and staff involved will be suspended pending the outcome of investigation. The Residential Coordinator will conduct another fire drill within 24 hours to ensure compliance. This has been in place since 1/28/2013 and all drills have been verified and documentation of verification was attached to each fire drill for review during annual inspection.
3. In the absence of the administrative assistance, the backup will be Residential Coordinator and in the absence of the CRD Director the Program Director will be notified of the discrepancy.

6400.112(f) | The home conducted 10 fire drills between 7/12/12 and 6/13/13. The front door was used as the exit for all of these drills | (f) Alternate exit routes shall be used during fire drills.
| A new schedule was developed and a plan put in place to ¿block¿ an exit by using a visual cue of cardboard flames to force alternative exits being used for fire escape routes. In July 2013 the sunroom exit was used as an exit which differs from the front door that was being used. Additionally, due to the physical limitations of the individuals, it was difficult for them to get to the designated meeting place when exiting the rear of the house therefore the front of the homes was being used consistently. We have now designated a second designated area when exiting from the rear of the home. All individuals and staff where trained in this new procedure on July 29, 2013. |
