Yes No Areas of Concern Exit Summary Are there resident issues or topics that need follow-up or review at a later time or during the next visit? Areas of Prior Concern: Bedbug infestation Present Areas of Concern A non-resident who has caused some problems for one of the residents was banned from the facility and he showed up. Staff saw the interloper and notified staff who called Carrboro Police. It was resolved quickly but raises a possible facility security issue. Although the Director states Crescent Green is not a locked Memory Facility, when talking with residents, various cognitive challenges are evident. She said residents “sign in and out.” They watch for wandering behaviors and if it becomes a safety issue, residents are moved to an appropriate facility. Discuss items from “Areas of Concern” Section as well as any changes observed during the visit. Give summary of visit with Administrator or SIC. Does the facility have needs that the committee or community could help address? Doris Coleman was not on site, but on vacation. Yolanda was open about Crescent Green and shared information freely. Due to shift change and a brief staff meeting, fewer staff were observed in the public areas at today’s site visit.. Yolanda said that limited funds are available for facility improvements (e.g. painting and other improvements), but they are working on improvements as available. We noticed residents having difficulty entering and exiting the building due to the heavy doors, mobility issues, wheelchairs, and no automatic door openers. Yolanda was interested in the possibility of an automatic “handicap” door opener on one of the doorways.
