Perimeter Rehab Suites: Abuse Response Failures - GA
Federal inspectors cited the lapse as immediate jeopardy, the most serious level of harm under Medicare's inspection system, meaning the failure put residents at risk of serious injury or death.
The facility had multiple layers of security designed to keep residents from wandering out unsupervised. Most exit doors required special knowledge or a code to open. Elevator doors locked automatically when a wander guard sensor came near and sounded an alarm when opened. Code pads were installed at each elevator. Several exit doors near rooms 205, 225, and 249 were built to hold for 15 seconds before releasing, each with special locking arrangements.
The door the contractor left open bypassed all of it.
A facility administrator told inspectors that a contractor had been brought in to work on an exterior wooden fence. When he finished, he left without relocking the exit discharge door he had used to access the area. When asked whether the contractor had his own key, the administrator said no. The contractor would have had to retrieve a key from the facility staff and return it when he was done. He didn't.
The facility did not discover the unlocked door on its own. Inspectors found it.
For two weeks, any resident who reached that door, including those the wander guard system was specifically designed to protect, could have walked out.
