What is the minimum frequency required for a facility manager to conduct a formal review of the RCFE's emergency disaster plan?
Answer: Annually
California regulations require RCFE facility managers to review and update the emergency disaster plan at least annually to ensure it reflects current resident needs, staffing, and community resources.
An RCFE facility manager discovers that a required posted notice about residents' rights has been removed from the common area. What is the appropriate first step?
Answer: Immediately repost the notice and document the corrective action
The manager's immediate duty is to restore compliance by reposting the required notice and documenting the corrective action taken, as the posting is a licensing requirement.
Which of the following is the facility manager's primary responsibility when a new staff member is hired at an RCFE?
Answer: Ensuring the staff member undergoes a criminal background check before working with residents
Before any new hire has contact with residents, the facility manager must ensure a criminal background clearance (via DOJ/FBI) is obtained, as required by California Health and Safety Code for RCFEs.
A facility manager at an RCFE wants to add a new storage room that was not part of the original licensed floor plan. What must occur before the space is used?
Answer: Approval from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS)
Any physical modifications that change the licensed capacity or floor plan of an RCFE require prior approval from CDSS to ensure the facility remains in compliance with its license.
How should a facility manager document a change in a resident's admission agreement that both parties have agreed upon?
Answer: An addendum signed by both the resident and the facility representative must be added to the file
Any modification to a resident's admission agreement must be formalized through a written, signed addendum placed in the resident's file to ensure legal validity and regulatory compliance.
Which action best demonstrates a facility manager's proactive approach to maintaining adequate staffing ratios at an RCFE?
Answer: Maintaining an on-call staff list and reviewing resident-to-staff ratios at each shift change
Proactive facility management includes continuously monitoring resident-to-staff ratios and maintaining contingency staffing resources so that required ratios are never compromised, rather than reacting after a deficiency occurs.
