Based on observation, interview and review of documents during the verification visit conducted on 11/3/2015 following the life safety recertificaton survey performed September 14th, 2015 through September 16th, 2015, Amery Hospital and Clinic was found to be not in compliance. The hospital failed to be constructed, arranged, or maintained to ensure the safety of the patients.

K-29: Hazardous areas were not enclosed with hourly rated fire barriers.
K-51: Fire Alarm system missing visible appliances
K-130: Means of egress requires two operations to leave a space.
