Observations
Based on a review of resident records, the recovery house failed to document that the resident refused to sign the emergency contact form. Also, there was no record in accordance with subsection (a) immediately and in no event more than 12 hours after the resident decides to end residency or does not return to the drug and alcohol recovery house as expected, the emergency contact would be notified.
These findings were reviewed with the recovery house staff during the licensing process.

Plan of Correction
The Consent to Residency Form (Attachment H) has been revised to include the emergency contact, the contact relationship to the resident and the contact's phone number. The form also now includes the following statement for the resident to initial should she refuse to provide or not have an emergency contact. "The resident refused to provide an emergency contact or did not have an emergency contact they wanted to provide to the House Manager. ________ (please initial)."
In the future, when a resident leaves the house, the House Manager will contact the emergency contact to make them aware that the resident has left (if the resident has provided a contact). She will also note this in the resident's file. |
