Between 3:30PM and 4:10PM, the LPA and Staff conducted a physical plant tour and tested the facility’s carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. One (1) out of two (2) carbon monoxide detectors were non-operational as Staff had removed the battery. On 02/24/2026, the facility was cited the same deficiency where staff removed the battery due to the constant beeping. The Administrator Elina Root and Licensee stated that the alarm above the kitchen was a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector, however the LPA’s inspection of the detector and google search of the equipment revealed that it was a smoke alarm.
