32 | At 3:45PM, ED stated residents may use all elevators as necessary. ED stated that on 07/06/26, one (1) of the main elevators was taken out of service for repairs due to a broken valve and oil change.
ED stated he has requested numerous times with elevator repair company to expedite and fix the broken elevator as early as possible. ED also stated that a written letter was given to all residents on 07/20/26 informing them that the elevator repair was tentatively scheduled to be completed no later than 08/06/26. At 3:30PM, LPA interviewed random residents (R2, R3) who stated that despite the wait of less than 10 minutes, they were able to use the two other operating elevators in going to and from the different areas of the facility and staff were timely addressing their care needs..
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that the facility elevator is in disrepair was found to be unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies cited during visit.
Exit Interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
