Summary

During an observation on December 19, 2025, it was found that the first floor environmental services office, located next to the salon, had a two-step lock on its door. This included a dead bolt, which could potentially slow down egress in the event of an emergency. The presence of this locking mechanism was confirmed in an interview with the administrator and maintenance director 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 systematic change was removing the deadbolt lock after the surveyor left the building. The Director of Maintenance will audit all office doors to assure there isn't a two-step locking mechanism in place. The Director of Maintenance will audit office doors for a two-step lock and report findings to the Monthly Quality Assurance meeting.
