Resident 1 further indicated facility outdoor smoking area is also dimly lit at night. Resident 1 walked CS around the outside of the facility and pointed out areas of concern. Resident 1 pointed out small cracks in walkways to CS but CS did not believe small cracks are hazard at this point. Resident 1 indicated lighting issues pose risk hazards to anyone walking in those areas at night. CS agreed to return to the facility at night to determine if this was true.On July 27, 2016, CS interviewed Resident 2 outside in the smoking area. Resident 2 indicated he/she only smokes outside during the day & is unaware if there are lighting issues in the smoking area at night.On August 4, 2016, CS returned to the facility at night to determine if the outdoor smoking area & walkways were too dimly lit causing poor visibility.
