The penalty, as released by CMS, applies to the entire inspection this citation is part of, covering all citations and f-tags issued, not just this specific f-tag. For the complete original report, please refer to the 'Details' section.

Summary

A deficiency was identified when an alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) dispenser was observed to be installed directly above a light switch, which is considered an ignition source, in Resident Room 336. This placement does not comply with NFPA 101 requirements, which prohibit ABHR dispensers from being installed within one inch of an ignition source. The Director of Maintenance confirmed the location of the dispenser during the surveyor's observation. The deficiency affected one of three smoke compartments within the facility component. No additional information regarding the medical history or condition of the resident in Room 336 was provided in the report.

Plan Of Correction

1. The wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispenser cited was moved on 6/25/25 to a non-outlet, non-switch wall. 2. All dispenser locations were verified to be appropriately mounted on a non-outlet, non-switch wall. 3. All current and new dispensers' locations will be audited once weekly for one month, and bi-weekly for two months. This will be added to the Quarterly PM. 4. All results will be reported to QAPI on a quarterly basis until satisfied that the cited deficient practice has been rectified. 5. The completion date is 8/24/25.
