Facility Evaluation Report
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Darius Williams conducted an unannounced visit at the facility.
LPA D. Williams observed Resident 1 in their bedroom sitting on a wheelchair. R1's wheelchair has an extension that keeps their legs propped up horizontal to the ground. R1 has use of there arms and is able to use their wheel chair to move around.
LPA Williams asked R1 to exit the bedroom and they were unable. At the time there was not enough room for the wheel chair to line up with the threshold of the door due to bed placement. R1 attempted to exit the room at an angle, however the wheel chair is longer than average which made it difficult for R1 to navigate. R1's right wheel was unable to clear the doorframe.
According to R1 and House Manager, a hoyer lift is used to assist R1 out of their room.
Based on observation R1 is unable to comfortably exit the bedroom with their wheelchair. A deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 809D page.
House Manager reported a consult with R1's doctor/insurance for other possible and/or modifications for client-assistive device or explore other options to maximize R1's independence.
Plan of correction was reviewed and discussed.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided via e-mail.
