What the official deficiency says
FIRE CLEARANCE - H & S code 1566.45(c) A bedridden person may be admitted to, and remain in, a residential facility that secures and maintains an appropriate fire clearance. A fire clearance shall be issued to a facility in which one or more bedridden persons reside if either of the following conditions are met: (1) The fire safety requirements are met. Clients who are unable to independently transfer to and from bed, but who do not need assistance to turn or reposition in bed, shall be considered non ambulatory for purposes of this paragraph. (2) Alternative methods of protection are approved. This regulation is not met as evidenced by LPA observed on inspection that R1's ambulatory status needs to be updated to bedridden. This is a health and safety risk to resident in care.
Official plan of correction
