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

During an inspection, it was observed that an electrical junction box located above the Zone 8 suspended ceiling, near the smoke barrier doors by the Unit Scheduler's Office, was missing a cover plate. This resulted in exposed electrical wiring. The Director of Maintenance confirmed the presence of the exposed wiring at the time of the observation. No information regarding residents or their medical conditions was provided in relation to this deficiency.

Plan Of Correction

The electrical junction box cover plate was replaced above the suspended ceiling in Zone 8. Maintenance staff will be educated on ensuring cover plates are in place for junction boxes moving forward. The Maintenance Director/Designee will perform an audit on junction box cover plates when work is completed above the ceiling to ensure the junction boxes have a cover plate in place. Results of audits will be forwarded to the QAPI Committee.
