AI-Generated Summary
Independence Village of Ames Memory Care is an Assisted Living Program for People with Dementia (ALP/D) located in Ames, Iowa. State inspectors conducted a recertification survey on June 6, 2024, and cited four violations. Inspectors found that the facility's registered nurse failed to document competency assessments for three staff members, and one newly hired staff member received only 3 of the required 8 hours of dementia-specific training within 30 days of hire. Two long-term staff members also lacked the required 8 hours of annual dementia continuing education. Most critically, a courtyard exit door in the memory care wing had no working alarm—relying solely on a badge swipe—potentially putting all 16 memory care tenants at elopement risk; this was corrected the same day.
