Inspection Findings
During a follow up interview with the DON on 6/3/26 at 9:12 AM she explained oxygen tanks were to be secured in a rolling cart or a bag hooked to the resident's wheelchair and were in a secure rack in the oxygen storage room.
The DON indicated proper oxygen storage was taught to new staff in orientation.
The DON revealed oxygen tanks cannot be outside the rolling cart whether full or empty because it could be a safety hazard if they were not secured. In an interview with the Administrator on 6/3/26 at 9:30 AM he stated they had not had problems with oxygen tanks before, and this was a case of human error. He explained the oxygen tank was under pressure and if it had fallen or got bumped there could have been safety consequences.
The Administrator further explained the expectation was that oxygen tanks were properly and safely secured.
