25 | On 2-1-22 at 1:45pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit based on a previous visit for complaint #27-AS-20220128115634. LPA met with Administrator Theresa Pettapiece and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA toured facility with Administrator, reviewed emergency disaster plan, fire drill log, training records, plan of operation, and tested fire alarm system. LPA also interviewed Administrator and Maintenance Director. Based on record review, interviews, and facility observation it was determined that the fire alarm system is not functioning properly per specifications of communication panel currently in place. Upon testing alarm, no signal was heard to alert residents, staff, and visitors of potential fire danger and alarm system did not alert the local fire department accordingly.
Upon additional record review, it was determined that fire drills were not being conducted quarterly per regulatory requirements.
Deficiencies are cited today based on Title 22, division 6, chapter 8.. An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500 is assessed in addition to citation issued.
An exit interview was conducted with Theresa Pettapiece and a copy of this notice of left with Theresa. Appeal rights provided.
