In this Federal Monitoring Survey, the facility failed to ensure resident safety. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained free of accident hazards for one (R35) of one resident who utilized oxygen while sitting under an operating hair dryer in the facility beauty shop in the sample of 12. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) that began on 2/9/10. The Administrator was notified of the IJ situation on 2/9/10. The IJ was removed and corrected on 2/9/10. The Administrator developed a policy, in-serviced all staff on the policy and implemented the policy.
