1 SUMMARY PROVER'S PLAN OF CORRECTION K 000 INITIAL COMMENTS K 000 A Life Safety Code Survey was conducted by the State Fire Marshal beginning on May 9th, 2017 and ending on May 10th, Adair Acute Care was found to be not in compliance with the requirements for participation in Medicare/Medicaid at 42 CFR , Life Safety from Fire, and the related National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard edition. Adair Acute Care is located at the Osawatomie State Hospital Campus at 500 State Hospital Drive. This facility was constructed in 1958 and is in a type II (111) building. The building is fully protected by a wet sprinkler system. There is smoke detection in all corridors, rooms, and spaces open to the corridor. The facility does not have cooking equipment located in this building. There is one smoke barrier separating the building into two smoke zones. All corridors and patient rooms have fire rated plywood ceilings. The facility utilizes keyed locks on all exit doors from the building. Every staff member has this key on their person at all times. Everyone pull station and fire extinguisher cabinet is also locked, with all staff members having keys to gain access to them. K 281 The facility has a capacity of 60. At the time of the survey the census was 45. NFPA 101 Illumination of Means of Egress Illumination of Means of Egress Illumination of means of egress, including exit discharge, is arranged in accordance with 7.8 and K 281 6/10/17 LABORATORY DIRECTOR'S OR PROVER/SUPPLIER REPRESENTATIVE'S SIGNATURE TITLE (X6) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation. 05/19/2017 Event : KNFH21 Facility : H If continuation sheet Page 1 of 23

2 SUMMARY PROVER'S PLAN OF CORRECTION K 281 Continued From page 1 K 281 shall be either continuously in operation or capable of automatic operation without manual intervention , This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and staff interview the facility failed to provide continuous illumination of exit discharges within all exits from the building to values of at least 1 ft. candle (10 lux) measured at the floor. This deficient practice does not insure that exit discharge path will be illuminated continuously and will delay egress, affecting all residents in two of two smoke zones. The facility has a capacity of 60 with a census of 45 at the time of survey. Findings include: During the survey on May 9th, 2017 the following is observed: 1. At 2:00 p.m. it is observed that every exterior light from the building is illuminated by a light fixture with a single bulb. The Chief Operating Officer, maintenance director and safety/security chief were present during the survey and acknowledged the findings. Illumination of Means of Egress. Means of egress shall be illuminated in accordance with Section NFPA 101, Illumination of means of egress shall be continuous during the time that the conditions of occupancy require that the means of egress be available for use, unless otherwise provided in Event : KNFH21 Facility : H If continuation sheet Page 2 of 23

3 SUMMARY PROVER'S PLAN OF CORRECTION K 281 Continued From page 2 K 281 K The floors and other walking surfaces within an exit and within the portions of the exit access and exit discharge designated in shall be illuminated as follows: (1) During conditions of stair use, the minimum illumination for new stairs shall be at least 10 ft-candle (108 lux), measured at the walking surfaces. (2) The minimum illumination for floors and walking surfaces, other than new stairs during conditions of stair use, shall be to values of at least 1 ft-candle (10.8 lux), measured at the floor. (3) In assembly occupancies, the illumination of the walking surfaces of exit access shall be at least 0.2 ft-candle (2.2 lux) during periods of performances or projections involving directed light. (4) The minimum illumination requirements shall not apply where operations or processes require low lighting levels. Required illumination shall be arranged so that the failure of any single lighting unit does not result in an illumination level of less than 0.2 ft-candle (2.2 lux) in any designated area NFPA 101, through NFPA 101 Hazardous Areas - Enclosure Hazardous Areas - Enclosure 2012 EXISTING Hazardous areas are protected by a fire barrier having 1-hour fire resistance rating (with 3/4-hour fire rated doors) or an automatic fire extinguishing system in accordance with When the approved automatic fire extinguishing system option is used, the areas shall be separated from other spaces by smoke resisting partitions and doors in accordance with 8.4.

Combustible Storage Rooms/Spaces (over 50 square feet) g. Laboratories (if classified as Severe Hazard - see K322) This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to provide separation of hazardous areas from other spaces. The area of deficient practice would provide a path for smoke and fire to travel into the adjacent area, affecting two of two smoke zones. The facility has a capacity of 60 with a census of 45 at the time of survey. Findings include: During the survey on May 9th, 2017 the following is observed : 1. At 1:45 p.m. in the main mechanical room located in the building 1 side there is an approximate 1 inch gap around all four sides of duct work in the separation wall from the corridor. 2. At 2:55 p.m. there is a 1 inch unsealed gap where the drywall meets the roof deck in the Event : KNFH21 Facility : H If continuation sheet Page 4 of 23

Where the sprinkler system is out of service for more than 10 hours in a 24-hour period, the building or portion of the building affected are evacuated or an approved fire watch is provided until the sprinkler system has been returned to service , , 9.7.5, (NFPA 25) This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, record review and interview the facility does not assure a fire watch procedure and policy is written as required for implementation when the fire sprinkler system is out of service for more than 10 hours in a 24 hour period. This deficient practice would prevent proper notification of insurance carrier, the alarm company, property owner or designated representative, and other authorities having jurisdiction as required, affecting all residents/patients in all smoke zones. The facility has a capacity of 60 with a census of 45 at the time of survey. Findings include: During the survey on May 9th, 2017 the following is observed at 10:00 a.m. during records review: 1.
