Findings:
(A.) During the facility tour on 7/11/2010, between the hours of o8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. (hours of survey), it was observed that the 8c duct detector failed to close a smoke damper when activated and was found out of adjustment when it partially close by activation by the duct detector in the hall.
(B.) During the facility tour on 7/11/2010 between 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. it was observed that the smoke damper in 8D failed to close upon duct detector activation in room 118 .

Based on observation, the facility failed to provide an emergency generator that operates in accordance with NFPA 99 and NFPA 110. This could potentially affect 47 of 52 patients in 9A, 9B, and 9C in the event of an actual power failure.
Findings: During a tour of the facility on 7/13/10 between 9:00AM AND 3:30PM, a test was conducted on the emergency generator for Units 9A, 9B, and 9C. The facility electrician turned the main breaker to the buildings off to simulate a power failure and it was 15 second before power was restored to the building.
Actual NFPA Standard:
NFPA 99: 3-5.3.1 Source.
The emergency system shall be installed and connected to the alternate source of power specified in 3-4.1.1.2 and 3-4.1.1.3 so that all functions specified herein for the emergency system will be automatically restored to operation within 10 seconds after interruption of the normal source.
