Perimeter Rehab: Immediate Jeopardy Safety - GA
The door led to a stairway. The facility houses residents who require wander guards, electronic sensors that trigger alarms and lock elevator doors when those residents get too close. The exit door near the fence had none of that protection once the contractor left it open. No alarm sounded. No lock held.
Inspectors declared Immediate Jeopardy on December 19, 2025.
The facility's own administrator, interviewed the morning inspectors documented the finding, explained how it happened. The contractor did not have a key of his own. To access the door, he would have had to obtain a key from the facility, and to secure it afterward, he would have had to return that key and relock the door through the facility. He did not. The administrator said the contractor "must not have relocked the door when he was finished."
Must not have. Two weeks passed.
The rest of the building's exit infrastructure was intact. Doors near rooms 225 and 249 opened only after 15 seconds of sustained pressure. Cross-corridor access doors near room 205, which carried no exit sign, also required 15 seconds and a code or special knowledge to open. Both elevators used by residents locked automatically when a wander guard sensor approached and sounded an alarm when the doors opened. Code pads were mounted at each elevator.
The one door without any of that sat unlocked, leading to a stairway, for two weeks while residents with wander guards moved through the building around it.
Inspectors found it on page 15 of their report. The contractor was already gone.
