community-based risk assessment based on an

all-hazard approach specific to the geographic

failed to maintain 1 of 1 fire alarm systems in

unless otherwise permitted by 14.3.2, visual

inspections shall be performed in accordance with

the schedules in Table 14.3.1, or more often if

required by the authority having jurisdiction.

Table 14.3.1 states that the following must be

a. Control unit trouble signals

b. Remote annunciators

c. Initiating devices (e.g. duct detectors, manual

fire alarm boxes, heat detectors, smoke detectors,

etc.)

d. Notification appliances

e. Magnetic hold-open devices

This deficient practice could affect all building

occupants.

Findings include:

Based on record review of the fire alarm system

inspection documentation with the Training

Coordinator, House Manager and Maintenance

Supervisor on 01/21/20 at 3:14 p.m., no

documentation could be provided regarding a

visual semi-annual fire alarm system inspection six

record review, the Maintenance Supervisor agreed

that a visual semi-annual inspection of the

fire-alarm system was not completed.

providing semi-annual fire alarm

system inspections effective 2020.

The last annual fire alarm

inspection was completed on

7/31/19 and the Maintenance

Supervisor was unaware of the

semi-annual visual inspection so

there was no documentation. The

Maintenance Department does a

regular monthly fire alarm

check/inspection; however, we

have not had the outside

e. During fire drills, clients may be

evacuated to a safe area in facilities certified

under the Health Care Occupancies Chapter

of the Life Safety Code.

3. Facilities must meet the requirements of

paragraphs (i) (1) and (2) of this section for

any live-in and relief staff that they utilize.

42 CFR 483.470(i)

Based on record review and interview, the facility

failed to ensure fire drills were held at varied times

for 1 of 3 employee shifts during 3 of 4 quarters.

This deficient practice could affect all clients in

the facility.

Findings include:

Based on review of the facility's fire drills with the

Training Coordinator, House Manager and the

Maintenance Supervisor on 01/21/20 at 3:38 p.m.,

four of four second shift fire drills were performed

between 5:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. During an

interview at the time of record review, the Training

Coordinator and House Manager acknowledged

the times the second shift fire drills were

performed and agreed the times were not varied

enough.

K S712 K0712-Fire Drills

BCS failed to ensure that fire drills

were held at varied times for 1 of 3

employee shifts during 3 of 4

quarters.

Corrective Action:

1. The Administrative Assistant

who oversees the annual schedule

for drills (1 per shift per quarter)

found that the staff at the group

home had changed the times of

three drills during the course of the

2019 drill rotation without following

the procedure of notifying

residential on-call and/or an

administrator if they needed to

change a time frame for the drills.

The schedule for the 2020 drill

rotation has been resent to each

group home with the addition of

the instruction that the on-call

and/or manager must be notified

on any changes.

2. Any drills found with a change

in time or date will have to be

re-run at the originally designated

time frame and that on-call must

be notified of any discrepancies.
