Summary

The facility failed to maintain electrical systems in compliance with safety standards, specifically in wet locations. During an observation on January 22, 2025, at 2:05 p.m., it was noted that a non-GFCI outlet was installed within 6 feet of the kitchen hand wash sink. This is a violation of the requirement for ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) in wet areas to ensure safety. The deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Facility Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day.

Plan Of Correction

The outlet near the kitchen hand wash sink has been replaced with an appropriate GFCI outlet. The Maintenance Director conducted facility rounds and there were no other NON-GFCI outlets located within 6 inches of a sink. The Maintenance Director or Designee will conduct in servicing for maintenance staff on the importance of adherence to: 0912- Electrical Systems - Receptacles. The Maintenance team will conduct environmental rounds weekly x 4 weeks to ensure compliance with fire codes, and State, federal and local regulations. Results will be reported in monthly QAPI.
