Summary
The facility failed to provide documentation that a water flow switch deficiency, identified during a quarterly sprinkler inspection, had been corrected as required by NFPA 72, 17.12.2. During a review of facility records, it was found that the sprinkler suppression system inspection report indicated the water flow switch failed during testing, and there was no evidence that this issue had been addressed. This finding was confirmed through interviews with the Maintenance Director and Regional Director at the time of the record review. No information was provided regarding specific residents or their medical conditions in relation to this deficiency.
