Facility Fails to Mark Exit Discharges Clearly
Summary
The facility failed to maintain exits in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, 2012 Edition, Sections 19.2.7 and 7.7, as observed during a recertification survey. Specifically, the exit discharges from the north and west nursing units in Building #1, and the south nursing unit in Building #2, were not marked to clearly indicate the direction of egress travel from the exit discharge to a public way. This deficiency was identified during observations conducted on March 31, 2025, at 11:00 AM. During an interview later that day at 2:21 PM, the Facilities Manager acknowledged the issue and stated that they would mark the exit discharges to clarify the direction to the public way.
