| 6400.33(e) | There was an audio baby monitor located in Individual #1's bedroom to monitor her activity at nighttime. | An individual has the right to privacy in bedrooms, bathrooms and during personal care. | Individual #1 has a history of ingesting and smearing of her feces. When she moved into the CLA home, it was suggested that staff utilize the audio monitor so as to prevent her from doing this when/if she would waken in the middle of the night. A SEEP plan was developed by the Behavior Specialist and this plan was reviewed by the Administrative Entities Restrictive Review Committee and approved prior to implementing the monitor as the belief that the monitor was restrictive. It was not until licensing that we became aware that BHSL had issued an interpretation of this regulation, stating that audio monitors were not permitted. The Individual's SEEP plan was reviewed by the AE Restrictive Review Committee on January 12, 2017 and the audio monitor was discontinued at that time. The CLA Director and the Administrator of Community Programs will monitor and ensure that audio monitors will not be utilized in the future, unless, there is a request for a waiver of the interpretation of this regulation. |
