Evidence:

1. The 2020 year emergency drill log had one shelter-in-place drill documented on 12/17/2020. There was no documentation of a second shelter-in-place drill.
2. Per the administration, a second shelter-in-place drill was not completed during the 2020 year.
Plan of Correction: Per the administration: A second shelter-in-place drill was not completed as we were closed mid March through August of 2020 and did not complete a second drill. Going forward we will ensure two shelter-in-place drills are documented each year.
Standard 63.2(17)-1720.1-A
Based on review of staff records and interview, the facility did not obtain a current central registry check every five years from the date of the original for one staff.

Plan of Correction: Per the Administration: A request to renew the central registry finding was mailed on 04/10/2021, unfortunately it was not returned before the background check expired. Going forward, we will send our request for updated background checks off 30 to 45 days before a background check expires.
