• Tuberculosis Screening R9-10-113.A.2.a-f
  Based on documentation review and interview, the health care institution failed to implement tuberculosis (TB) infection control activities, including annually assessing the health care institution's risk of exposure to infectious tuberculosis. The deficient practice posed a risk as the caregiver received no organized instruction or information related to TB surveillance.

• Personnel R9-10-806.A.8.a-b
  Based on documentation review, observation, record review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure employees provided documentation of freedom from infectious tuberculosis (TB) as specified in R9-10-113 for three of the three employees sampled.

ADHS writes a Statement of Deficiencies after each inspection that finds a rule was not met. The community then files a plan of correction, which ADHS accepts or rejects. ADHS investigates complaints on site. A complaint inspection that ends with “No deficiencies were found” did not find a rule violation; deficiencies cited on a complaint inspection are listed with that inspection. AZ Care Check does not list complaints that did not lead to an on-site inspection. Enforcement cases are actions ADHS takes after an inspection, such as a civil money penalty, a provisional license or a license revocation, with their status. This community is licensed for 5 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
