Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on facility document review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
that essential equipment was in safe operating condition on five of five nursing units (2A, 3A, 3B, 4A, and
4B).Review of facility submitted information dated 7/16/25, indicated that on 7/15/25, At 7:11pm, During a
scheduled facility power outage, the maglock (electrified magnetic locking mechanism) door batteries
became disengaged. While monitoring CCTV (closed-circuit television, a type of video surveillance system),
Security saw resident enter the stairwell on unit 4A. Resident was identified as [Resident R1]. Security
witnessed on camera her carefully safely walk down the stairwell and exit on unit 2A. Total Time 2 mins and
20 seconds. Nursing Supervisor immediately notified by Security and met resident on unit 2A. Resident
returned to the unit safely. Resident had no injury. No emotional distress noted. MD (Doctor of Medicine)
and NOK (next of kin) notified. Review of an employee statement dated 7/15/25, written by Security
Employee E1, indicated, While reviewing CCTV I noticed a resident enter the stairwell 1 entry on 4A. She
was identified as [Resident R1]. I witnessed her walk down the stairwell and exit on 2A middle hall. She
walked to the nurses station. I then called [Employee E2] and she and [Employee E3] responded to 2A and
addressed it. She was returned to her unit right away. Subsequently upon further investigation the maglocks
failed during the planned power outage. Review of an employee statement dated 7/15/25, written by
Security Director Employee E4 indicated, At 1930 hrs (7:30 p.m.) on the above date (7/15/25) during a
scheduled facility wide power shutdown, I received a call from Security Employee E1 reporting that a
resident identified as [Resident R1] had entered stairwell #1 from unit 4A proceeding down to unit 2A.
Security Employee E1 stated that the house supervisor was immediately notified of the incident. The
resident was assessed by staff and returned to the unit. Under my direction, Security Employee E1 was
instructed to check all maglocks on all stairwells, as an extra precaution all mechanical alarm boxes were to
be tested and engaged. I advised Security Employee E1 that I was responding to the facility with a 20-30
min ETA (estimated time of arrival). Upon my arrival at 8pm Security Employee E1 informed me that all
nursing unit maglocks were down. Nursing had placed a staff member at each door as an extra precaution.
Upon investigation found that the battery backups for these doors had failed. Further investigation showed
that the power supplies for these doors were not on generator power. ESM (Environmental Service
Manager) Employee E5 was notified of the issue. Upon Employee E5's direction the facility electrician
[Maintenance Employee E6] rewired the power supplied to a generator electric panel, restoring power to
the affected doors at 2130 hrs (9:30 p.m.). the A side maglocks were fully functional. I made a sweep of the
A side of the facilty and confirmed that all A side maglocks were again operating as designed. At 2230
(10:30 p.m.) power was restored to all B side maglocks. I again made a sweep of the B side to confirm all
doors were working as designed. Upon review of the guard log book these doors were last tested at 1530
hrs (3:30 p.m.) and fully functional. I departed the facility at 2230 hrs (10:30 p.m.). All doors were fully
functional. Review of a statement written by Environmental Service Manager Employee E5 stated
that:7/15/25, (approximate times):8:00 a.m.: with Electric Maintenance Vendor V1 and V2 onsite, the local
power provider terminated outside power and the facility converted to generator power. 4:00 - 4:30 p.m.:
Electric Maintenance Vendor V2 advised that the Main Transfer Switch was faulty. At that time Facility
Executive Employee E7, Director of Facilities Employee E8, and the County Electrician Employee E9 were
contacted about the failed switch and the need to replace it immediately. 5:00 p.m. - Electric Vendor V2 was
able to find a replacement switch, located approximately 90 miles away. The part was picked up and
delivered at 8:00 p.m. Installation was begun at that time. 8:00 p.m. - Security Employee E1 notified that the

found to be low on power, and replace with new batteries. The decision was made change the maglocks
from battery backup to generator power. 10:30 p.m. - All power to the maglock doors on the resident units
was converted to generator emergency power. 7/16/25, (approximate times):12:00 a.m. - Electric
Maintenance Vendor V2 completed the installation of the replacement part. The local power provider was
called to restore service. The local power provider would not send anyone to restore power, due to
confusion regarding the work order, with a work order from a sister facility. 2:00 a.m. - Power was restored
by the local power provider. 7/17/25:Confirmed that all resident and non-resident area maglocks have
backup generator power supply. During an interview on 7/17/25, at approximately 10:40 a.m. ESM
Employee E5 confirmed that the facility had been unprepared for the maglock batteries to become too low
on power during an extended power outage, and had not planned to have replacements used prior to the
batteries completely failing. During an interview on 7/15/25, at approximately 1:00 p.m. the Assistant
Director of Nursing confirmed the facility failed to ensure that essential equipment was in safe operating
condition on five of five nursing units.
