Summary

The facility failed to maintain hazardous areas as required by NFPA 101 standards. During an observation on December 11, 2024, at 9:12 a.m., it was noted that the door to the trash room in the west wing did not have a self-closure device. This deficiency affects one of the two smoke compartments in the facility. The absence of a self-closure device on the door was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and the Maintenance Director at 10:15 a.m. on the same day.

Plan Of Correction

Trash room on West Wing has a self-closure device. Facility ensured that the self-closure device is functioning properly. Maintenance & housekeeping will be educated on proper closure of self-closure doors & proper reporting issues. An Audit will be conducted to ensure all doors have the proper closure weekly x 4. Audit results will be reported to QAPI committee.
