Summary

The facility failed to maintain the fire resistance of smoke barriers, specifically affecting one of the three levels in the building. During an observation on May 1, 2025, at 9:58 a.m., it was noted that the smoke barrier near resident room 216 on the second floor was blocked open by a patient lift. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Maintenance Director on the same day at 10:30 a.m.

Plan Of Correction

The facility will maintain the fire resistance of smoke barriers, affecting all of three levels in the facility. Blockage was removed. Staff in-serviced on the importance of keeping the smoke barrier doors free from any items. The Director of Maintenance or designee will audit smoke barrier doorways 3x weekly for 2 monthly. All findings will be brought to QAPI for review.
