On 7-20-2026 at 9:45am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to continue investigation for the allegations noted above. LPA met with Administrator Michael Talani and explained the purpose of the visit. During today's visit, LPA reviewed facility fire log drills for January to current and conducted a facility observation and conducted staff interviews. Additionally, LPA reviewed inspection records regarding general maintenance of fire safety system including smoke detectors.

Allegation: Facility is not maintaining smoke detectors. LPA conducted interviews, record reviews, and observation as noted above. Based on interviews and record reviews, it was revealed that facility has demonstrated on-going maintenance of smoke detectors and general fire safety inspections including most recent testing conducted by a third party agency on 5-30-2026 and previous inspections conducted twice per year. Additionally, LPA observed various smoke detectors functioning properly throughout facility. As a result, there is a not a preponderance of evidence to conclude facility is not maintaining smoke detectors, and this allegation is UNFOUNDED. {Cont. on 9099C}
