Electrical Receptacle Deficiency in Main Floor Dining Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain electrical receptacles in compliance with NFPA 101 standards, specifically regarding ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. During an observation on December 23, 2024, it was noted that two receptacles on the main floor did not have the required GFCI protection. These receptacles were located at the dining/kitchen ice machine and the dining room coffee machine. The maintenance supervisor confirmed these deficiencies during an interview conducted immediately after the observation.
Plan Of Correction
The Lutheran Home at Kane will make all corrections to comply with the national fire protection regulations. We will install ground fault circuit interrupter protections in the main floor, dining/kitchen ice machine receptacle and the main floor, dining room coffee machine receptacle. The Maintenance Director/designee will inspect the GFIC receptacles weekly for one month, then monthly for three months.
