Summary

The facility failed to maintain compliance with building construction type requirements as outlined in NFPA 101. During an observation on January 15, 2025, it was noted that the facility exceeded the height requirement for a three-story, Type II (000), unprotected, non-combustible building. This deficiency was confirmed through an interview with the maintenance supervisor, who acknowledged that the building's height surpassed the allowable limit for its construction type. The report does not mention any specific patients or their conditions in relation to this deficiency.

Plan Of Correction

No adverse effects occurred from the facility exceeding the height requirement for this construction type. Life Safety Consultant Peters Rice Associates conducted an FSES on 3/20/2017, which is on file with the Department of Health. Edison Manor has been working with various vendors on a construction proposal that will minimize disturbance to the residents of the facility. Once a viable proposal has been acquired, the facility will submit architectural plans and determine the time frame to have the work completed to stay in compliance. TLW was submitted to the local department of health field office to be sent for approval. FSES is being requested to be updated.
