COUNT I
RESPONDENT FAILED TO ENSURE AT LEAST ONE STAFF MEMBER WHO IS
TRAINED IN FIRST AID AND CPR, WAS IN THE FACILITY AT ALL TIMES,
VIOLATING RULE 58A-5.019(4) (b)4, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE
UNCORRECTED CLASS III DEFICIENCY
7. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs (1)
through (6) as if fully set forth herein.
8. A complaint survey was conducted on April 29, 2003.
9. On that date, based on a review of the facility
staffing schedule, time sheets and nine personnel records, the
facility did not ensure that at least one staff was in the
facility at all times who was certified in First Aid and CPR.
10. A Class III deficiency was cited against Respondent
based on the findings below:
Of nine records reviewed (CB, GD, AR, CB, AD, MS, HW, BF,
MC), none had documentation of certification in CPR and
First Aid. Two of the staff (AD & CB) were verified as
working on shift duty together, neither had proof of CPR
and First Aid.
11. These observations were cited as a Class III
deficiency and were to be corrected by May 29, 2003.
12. A follow-up survey was conducted on July 7, 2003.
13. On that date, based upon a review of the facility
staffing schedule, and three (3) personnel records on 7/7/03,
the facility did not ensure that at least one staff was in the
facility at all times who was certified in First Aid and CPR.
14. Specifically, the findings include:
A review of the staff schedule provided by the
administrator, three staff who were scheduled to work on
the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift together did not have
documentation on file that they were certified in CPR
and/or First aid. Staff (H.P. & C.B.) worked together on
Sunday, 7/6/03. Both of these staff did not have CPR and
First Aid certification in their personnel records.
15. This is a violation of Rule 58A-5.019(4) (a)4, Florida
Administrative Code which requires at least one staff member who
is trained in First Aid and CPR, as provided under Rule 58A-
5.0191, shall be within the facility at all times when residents
are in the facility.
16. The above referenced violation constitutes the grounds
for the imposed uncorrected Class III deficiency and for which a
fine of five hundred dollars ($500) is authorized pursuant to
Section 400.419(1)(c) Florida Statutes (2002).
ADDITIONAL FEE UNDER SECTION
400.419(9), FLORIDA STATUTES
