Comments

Care & Supervision
The Manager explained and demonstrated how the Living At Risk practice guidelines are being implemented at the facility.
The LO was asked about the requirements of staff to person in care ratios when attending outings in the community. The LO explained the legislation does not prescribe the number of staff but as per section 42(2) - Staffing coverage, there is the expectation that the Licensee ensures there are the sufficient number of staff and that they are organized in an appropriate pattern to meet the needs of persons in care which includes providing supervision in community. Additional RCR sections to review related to the above noted question are: 45 - Employee responsible for activities, 55 - Program of activities, and 81(2)(b),(3)(d),4(a) - Care plan needed if more than 30 day stay.

Records & Reporting
The facility is now utilizing the electronic system "Nucleus" for maintaining records.

Copies of the inspection report and the Risk Assessment Tool were reviewed, discussed, and provided to the Manager. If you have any questions regarding this report please contact your Licensing Officer.
