Summary
The facility failed to ensure that automatic emergency lighting was provided and maintained in accordance with regulatory requirements. During record review, it was found that the facility could not produce documentation verifying that emergency battery back-up lights were tested monthly for 30 seconds or for 90 minutes, as required. Additionally, observation revealed that the battery back-up emergency light in the generator room did not function when tested. These findings were confirmed through interviews with the maintenance director at the time of record review and observation.
