Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-73-40-A
Description:	Based on a inspection at the facility on 11/21/2019, the licensee failed to comply with the terms of the license in regards to the type of residents permitted. Evidence: The license issued specifies "All residents must be capable of responding to an emergency situation without physical assistance from staff". Resident # 1 is a double amputee who relies on an electric wheelchair for mobility. The facility does have a small paved walkway that leads to a gravel driveway and a first floor entrance that does not require a ramp. However, the driveway has thick gravel which makes it difficult for the resident to maneuver his wheelchair. The resident became stuck in the driveway recently and required the physical assistance of a local police officer to become unstuck. The resident reported during an interview on 11/22/2019 that he "feels a prisoner" as he is restricted to the small walkway and requires physical assistance to maneuver the driveway.
Plan of Correction:	Residents will be assisted with relocation to a facility that can better meet their accessibility needs.
