Summary

The facility failed to ensure that corner guards were free from sharp edges and lacked protective endcaps, which could potentially affect all residents on the east wing. During an observation conducted at 2:27 PM with the Maintenance Director (MD), it was noted that two metal corner guards by the handrails in the main dining room had sharp edges and no protective endcaps installed to prevent injury. The MD confirmed these findings during the observation. The facility's Administrator was informed of this deficient practice during the Life Safety Code survey exit conference.
