The [facilities] must develop and implement emergency preparedness policies and procedures, based on the emergency plan set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, risk assessment at paragraph (a)(1) of this section, and the communication plan at paragraph (c) of this section. The policies and procedures must be reviewed and updated at least every 2 years. At a minimum, the policies and procedures must address the following:] *[For homebound Hospice at §418.113(b)(2), PACE at §460.84(b)(4), and HHAs at §484.102(b)(2):] The procedures to inform State and local emergency preparedness officials about [homebound Hospice, PACE or HHA] patients in need of evacuation from their residences at any time due to an emergency situation based on the patient's medical and psychiatric condition and home environment. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and policy review, the agency failed to develop and implement emergency preparedness policies and procedures that included a system to inform state and local emergency preparedness officials of the need for patient evacuations from their residences, during an emergency. This had the potential to affect all patients receiving home care services from the agency. The agency's undated Emergency Preparedness Plan, included several policies related to emergency preparedness, however, lacked documentation to include a system for informing state and local emergency preparedness officials about patients in need of evacuation from their residences at any time, due to an emergency situation, based on the patient's medical and psychiatric condition and home environment. During an interview on 12/7/22, at 1:45 p.m. the home care director stated the agency did not have this system however in each patient home all patients had the individual emergency plans.

This practice had the potential to affect all 79 patients currently receiving services from the agency. During an interview on 12/7/22, at 1:45 p.m. the home care director stated the emergency plan did not include information regarding the inability to make contact with staff or patients during an emergency and how this information would be reported to local and state officials. The administrator stated each patient had a plan developed for emergencies in the home however, verified the agency did not have a policy or procedure of how it would report to local and state officials.
