Plan of Correction

The community has reviewed and implemented the Fire Drill & Life Safety Policy to ensure full compliance with state regulations. 1. Fire Drill Schedule & Compliance Fire drills are now scheduled every other month, on varying shifts (day, evening, night), in accordance with policy and OAR requirements. A structured annual calendar has been implemented and is monitored by the Director of Plant Operations and Executive Director. 2. Required Documentation The standardized TSL Fire Drill Forms will be used for every drill to ensure all required elements are documented, including: ? Date and time ? Location of simulated fire ? Primary and alternate escape routes ? Evacuation time ? Staff participation ? Number of residents evacuated ? Resident response and any issues encountered o Completed documentation will be: ? Maintained in the Fire Drill Binder ? Uploaded into TELS ? Copied to the Health Services survey binder 3. Staff Training Fire and Life Safety staff training will occur on alternating months between drills, per policy. Any staff who miss training will be assigned mandatory make-up training within 30 days. 4. Oversight & Monitoring The Director of Plant Operations will oversee drill execution and documentation. Monthly audits will be completed to ensure: ? Drills/trainings occurred as scheduled ? Documentation is complete and compliant The Executive Director will conduct quarterly reviews to ensure ongoing compliance and address any deficiencies immediately. 5. System Improvements A pre-drill preparation process has been implemented to ensure all documentation tools and scenarios meet regulatory requirements before each drill. Post-drill evaluations will be completed to identify and correct any procedural gaps. How we will ensure continued compliance: • Monthly audits by Plant Operations • Quarterly leadership review of fire and life safety compliance • Immediate corrective action taken if any drill, training, or documentation is missed or incomplete.
