On 1/23/25 at 12:00 PM, V9, Maintenance Director, stated I have been fighting with the heat in this building
since I turned it on in October 2024. The Therapy Department's heat never did come on. It was mid-October
of 2024 when I told the previous Administrator that it needed fixed. I had to get a bid and then send it to
Corporate to approve, which I did. I waited weeks for an answer and heard nothing. Then they said I had to
get three different bids and forward to them. I finally did that and now apparently, they approved one.
Unfortunately, I have no idea when it will be fixed or how long we have to wait for that company to get it
fixed.
