Safety is not rocket science especially for a well-oiled for-profit, especially ones generating millions in Medicaid funding. It's not that complicated. Protect your resident from others, from the environment, and from him or herself.
Yet, the Independent Monitor Report found Environmental Safety concerns in Bellwether facilities:
Eight homes were found deficient in having consistent fire drills. Seven homes were found deficient in having complete first aid kits.Five homes had multiple throw rugs that had no anti-slip coating on the back. Four homes had medication not appropriately secured. Three homes had expired fire extinguishers. Three homes had items within three feet of the hot water heater which is a fire hazard. Two homes had staff who did not know how to use the organization wide fire control system (one of them was the house manager). In both cases. neither home had the key to turn off the alarm once it was activated. Staff had to go to another house or the day program to obtain it.
