1569.699 Exit doors; egress-control devices of time-delay type; fences: " (a)(7)(A) A sign shall be provided on the door located above and within 12 inches of the panic bar or other door-latching hardware reading: 'KEEP PUSHING. THIS DOOR WILL OPEN IN __ SECONDS. ALARM WILL SOUND.' " This requirement was not met, as evidenced by: Based on observation, licensee did not provide signs meeting regulatory requirements on its delayed-egress doors, within an area of the facility where 20 of 62 residents (Resident #1 through Resident #20) resided, which posed a potential safety risk to persons in care.
Official plan of correction

(For the Reminiscence Courtyard gate door, a sign is not required on the exterior side of the gate door, because it is only delayed-egress going out, not coming in). Licensee agreed to E-mail LPA photos of the signs in place on each door/gate, by the POC due date.
