Perimeter Rehab Suites: Resident Property Violations - GA
Federal inspectors flagged the breach on December 19, 2025, rating it immediate jeopardy, the most serious level of harm a nursing home can receive.
The facility's entire exit system was built around keeping residents in. Most doors required special knowledge or a numeric code to open. The two cross-corridor exit doors near Room 205 used special locking arrangements. Elevator doors locked automatically when a wander guard sensor came near, and alarms sounded if the doors opened. A code pad sat at each elevator. The exit door near Room 225 was locked and alarmed. The one near Room 249 opened only after 15 seconds of sustained pressure.
The discharge exit door the contractor used had none of that protection. He had gotten a key from the facility to access it. When he finished his work on the fence, he did not relock it.
A facility representative told inspectors during an interview on November 19, 2025, that the contractor must not have relocked the door when he was finished. When asked whether the contractor had his own key, the representative said no. The contractor would have had to return the key to the facility and relock the door using that key. He did not.
The inspection report does not indicate that any resident exited through the unsecured door during those two weeks. It does not indicate that the facility had identified the problem before inspectors arrived and began testing doors themselves.
Every other exit in the building required a code, a sensor, or 15 seconds of deliberate pressure. This one opened freely. For two weeks, in a facility designed specifically to prevent residents from leaving undetected, one door simply did not work.
