Inspection Findings
During an interview on 09/30/2025 at 3:46 PM, Staff E, Maintenance Director, was asked what the facility had been doing to alleviate the noise from the exterior door near the 70's rooms.
Staff E said they tried weather stripping to muffle, but it had already come off.
When asked what the facility did when this concern was brought up in April 2025 at the Resident Council meeting, Staff E said that was when they put the weather stripping on, that has now peeled off.
Staff E said that they had talked to staff about using other entrances, but it is what it is.
During an interview on 10/01/2025 at 8:44 AM, Staff D, Charge Nurse/Registered Nurse, was asked if they get frequent complaints about the exit door.
Staff D said maintenance was aware and the complaint was only for a few people, due to the alarm going off if they did not do the alarm fast enough.
When told of the observation of the door slamming multiple times and the alarm going off, with three different residents heard upset about it from their rooms, Staff D acknowledged this was not homelike.
During an interview on 10/01/2025 at 10:02 AM, Staff A, Administrator, was asked how the facility had attempted to make the environment more homelike due to the exit door slamming at night.
Staff A said it was an emergency fire door, they should not be going out the door in the first place.
Staff A said they could put more sealant around the side and will now update the residents to not use that door since it is an emergency door.
