7970 MAGNOLIA MANOR OF COLUMBUS NURSING CENTER - WEST 115045 2000 WARM SPRINGS RD COLUMBUS GA 31904 2012-03-15 455 E 0 1 FF8U11 Based on observations and staff interview, it was determined the facility had failed to ensure that the lighting at two (2) of five (5) the emergency exit doors was operational. Findings include: It was observed during the environmental tour on 3/14/12 between 12:30 p.m. and 12:40 p.m., and on 3/15/12 at 8:40 a.m. that there was not a light bulb in the exterior light fixture for the emergency fire doors numbered 4 and 19. During the observations on 3/14/12, the assistant administrator explained that those emergency lights were supposed to turn on when the fire alarm sounded. In an interview on 3/14/12 at 2:00 p.m., the administrator said that it was expected that the emergency lighting would be kept in workable condition. However, facility staff was not maintaining the lighting fixtures at emergency exit doors #4 and #19 in a manner that ensured the emergency power system was functional and that those exits would be lighted in case of a fire or other emergency. 2016-07-01
