Summary

The facility failed to maintain electrical wiring systems and equipment, as evidenced by an observation on February 10, 2025. During the inspection, it was found that a power strip/surge protector was being improperly used as a permanent junction box in the Mechanical/Electrical room located in the basement. This deficiency was confirmed through an interview with the Facility Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day, highlighting a lapse in adherence to the required electrical safety standards.

Plan Of Correction

1. Maintenance will conduct a weekly audit on extension/power strip cords throughout the facility. 2. Nursing Home Administrator/designee will be educated on the use of power strips/extension cords. 3. The audit will be ongoing throughout the calendar year. 4. When a deficiency is found, staff will be educated, and cord will be removed. 5. Any concerns will be brought to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee for review.
