Summary

During an observation on May 19, 2025, it was found that door 8, which leads to the exterior of the building in the 700 wing, was not properly posted as an exit. The door could be mistaken for an exit, but lacked the required signage in accordance with section 7.10.8.3, which mandates a sign stating 'NO EXIT' for doors that are not exits. This deficiency was confirmed by the Maintenance Director at the time of discovery. The report notes that exit and directional signs were not displayed as required, nor were they continuously illuminated and served by the emergency lighting system, as specified by 19.2.10.1.

Plan Of Correction

Element 1: 700 wing door did not have NO EXIT required signage. Signs were placed on the door on 06/03/2025. Element 2: All residents on the 700 wing/staff or visitors have the potential to be impacted by this deficiency. This deficient practice could cause someone to use this door as an exit. Element 3: Signage was placed on the door on 06/3/2025 stating NO EXIT. Element 4: Physical Plant Manager will be responsible for sustained compliance.
