5.2, 5.2.3 (2010 NFPA 80)
Observations:
Name: MAIN BUILDING - Component: 01 - Tag: 0761

Based on document review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to provide documentation of the annual fire door inspection, in four of four smoke compartments within the component.

Findings include:

1. Review of documentation on June 25, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM, revealed the facility lacked documentation of the annual fire-rated door inspection.

Interview with the Administrator and Regional Facility Manager on June 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM, confirmed the facility could not provide documentation verifying the annual fire door inspection.


 Plan of Correction - To be completed: 08/21/2025

1. A comprehensive annual inspection of all fire-rated doors will be completed.

2. The Maintenance Director and Administrator received training on the importance of timely fire door inspections per NFPA 80 and NFPA 101 standards.

3. The Administrator or designee will review inspection documentation annually to verify compliance. Documentation and compliance status will be reviewed quarterly during Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings.

NFPA 101 STANDARD Electrical Systems - Maintenance and Testing:This is a less serious (but not lowest level) deficiency but was found to be widespread throughout the facility and/or has the potential to affect a large portion or all the residents.  This deficiency is one that results in minimal discomfort to the resident or has the potential (not yet realized) to negatively affect the resident's ability to achieve his/her highest functional status.
Electrical Systems - Maintenance and Testing
Hospital-grade receptacles at patient bed locations and where deep sedation or general anesthesia is administered, are tested after initial installation, replacement or servicing. Additional testing is performed at intervals defined by documented performance data. Receptacles not listed as hospital-grade at these locations are tested at intervals not exceeding 12 months. Line isolation monitors (LIM), if installed, are tested at intervals of less than or equal to 1 month by actuating the LIM test switch per 6.3.2.6.3.6, which activates both visual and audible alarm. For LIM circuits with automated self-testing, this manual test is performed at intervals less than or equal to 12 months. LIM circuits are tested per 6.3.3.3.2 after any repair or renovation to the electric distribution system. Records are maintained of required tests and associated repairs or modifications, containing date, room or area tested, and results.
6.3.4 (NFPA 99)
Observations:
Name: MAIN BUILDING - Component: 01 - Tag: 0914

Based on document review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to inspect all electrical receptacles in resident care areas, affecting the entire component.

Findings include:

1. Review of documentation on June 25, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM, revealed the facility failed to test electrical receptacles in the last 12 months.

Interview with the Administrator and Regional Facility Manager on June 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM, confirmed the receptacles were not tested in the last 12 months.


 Plan of Correction - To be completed: 08/21/2025

1. All electrical receptacles in resident care areas will be tested. Any identified issues were corrected, and testing was documented.

2.The Maintenance Director was re-educated on the annual requirement for testing electrical receptacles in accordance with NFPA and CMS guidelines.

3.A log was created to track annual receptacle testing. The Administrator or designee will review compliance quarterly to ensure ongoing adherence.

NFPA 101 STANDARD Electrical Systems - Essential Electric Syste:This is a less serious (but not lowest level) deficiency but was found to be widespread throughout the facility and/or has the potential to affect a large portion or all the residents.  This deficiency is one that results in minimal discomfort to the resident or has the potential (not yet realized) to negatively affect the resident's ability to achieve his/her highest functional status.
Electrical Systems - Essential Electric System Maintenance and Testing
The generator or other alternate power source and associated equipment is capable of supplying service within 10 seconds. If the 10-second criterion is not met during the monthly test, a process shall be provided to annually confirm this capability for the life safety and critical branches. Maintenance and testing of the generator and transfer switches are performed in accordance with NFPA 110.
Generator sets are inspected weekly, exercised under load 30 minutes 12 times a year in 20-40 day intervals, and exercised once every 36 months for 4 continuous hours. Scheduled test under load conditions include a complete simulated cold start and automatic or manual transfer of all EES loads, and are conducted by competent personnel. Maintenance and testing of stored energy power sources (Type 3 EES) are in accordance with NFPA 111. Main and feeder circuit breakers are inspected annually, and a program for periodically exercising the components is established according to manufacturer requirements. Written records of maintenance and testing are maintained and readily available. EES electrical panels and circuits are marked, readily identifiable, and separate from normal power circuits. Minimizing the possibility of damage of the emergency power source is a design consideration for new installations.
6.4.4, 6.5.4, 6.6.4 (NFPA 99), NFPA 110, NFPA 111, 700.10 (NFPA 70)
Observations:
Name: MAIN BUILDING - Component: 01 - Tag: 0918

Based on document review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to provide required maintenance and testing documentation for the emergency generator, which serves the entire component.

Findings include:

1. Review of documentation on June 25, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM, revealed the facility lacked documentation, for the following:

a. 9:30 AM, one full year, weekly maintenance;
b. 9:33 AM, one full year, monthly maintenance, 30-minute load w/transfer switch.

Interview with the Administrator and Regional Facility Manager on June 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM, confirmed the lack of documentation for emergency generator.


 Plan of Correction - To be completed: 08/21/2025

1.Facility cannot retroactively correct deficient practice. Generator service vendor contacted to verify and supply any missing reports.

2.All residents had the potential to be affected. No generator failures occurred during the review period.

3.Maintenance staff re-educated on required documentation and testing per NFPA 110 and CMS requirements. A new tracking log has been implemented for weekly and monthly generator testing. Results to be reviewed at quarterly QAPI meetings.
