Summary

The facility failed to comply with NFPA 70, National Electric Code, regarding electrical wiring and equipment. During an observation on January 21, 2025, it was noted that there was storage within three feet of electrical panels in two locations on the first floor. Specifically, the storage was found in the storage room across from Occupational Therapy and in the Laundry Dryer Room. According to NFPA 70 110.26(A)(1), a clearance of three feet is required in front of electrical equipment with a nominal voltage to ground of 0 to 150 volts. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and the Maintenance Director.

Plan Of Correction

The storage within three feet of the electrical panels across from the Occupational Therapy room and the laundry dryer room have been removed. The facility has determined that all electrical panels in the building have the potential to be affected. The Maintenance Director has in-serviced the staff to ensure that storage remains three feet from the electrical panels throughout the building. The Maintenance Director will randomly audit electrical panels throughout the building weekly. This plan of correction will be monitored at the monthly Quality Assurance Performance Improvement meeting until such time consistent substantial compliance has been met.
