Summary

The facility failed to ensure that portable fire extinguishers were accessible on one of its two levels. During an observation on March 17, 2025, at 12:15 p.m., it was noted that in the multi-purpose room, which was formerly used for Physical Therapy, two wall-mounted fire extinguishers were obstructed by large tables on each side of the room. This obstruction was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day at 2:00 p.m., indicating a failure to comply with the requirements for fire extinguisher accessibility as per NFPA 10 standards.

Plan Of Correction

Obstructions were corrected immediately on 3/17/2025, and staff was educated on compliance. Maintenance director will report to QAPI committee on compliance of this regulation.
