The facility has a capacity of 25 with a census of 15 at the time of the survey.
Findings include.
During the tour conducted on 03/02/2011, at 2:20 p.m., observation revealed a lack of sprinkler coverage in a portion of the hospital's administrative offices. A dividing wall constructed post installation of the automatic sprinkler system restricts some of the coverage intended for the office area to the materials storage room.
Staff M was present and aware of the findings. Staff M stated that the final location of the wall varied from the original design provided to the sprinkler contractor, resulting in a misplacement of sprinkler heads. The provided architect's code compliance review reflects an accurate location of the wall.
