Summary

The facility failed to comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards regarding the use of electrical devices, specifically power strips, in a non-compliant manner. During an observation on January 30, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., it was noted that a power strip was being used in the D1-ADON office to power heat draw equipment, a refrigerator, and a microwave. This usage was deemed improper and unauthorized according to the NFPA guidelines, which specify that power strips in patient care vicinities should only be used for patient-care-related electrical equipment and must meet specific UL standards. The improper use of the power strip was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day at 12:45 p.m.

Plan Of Correction

The power strip in the D1 ADON office was removed. A new outlet was installed. The maintenance department will conduct quarterly electrical inspections in the D1 ADON office, checking for any power strips. The Maintenance Director or designee will report monthly findings to Quality Assurance for a 90-day period.
