IHCA
July 1, 2012 was the deadline for Indiana Nursing Facilities to have installed sprinkler systems and smoke alarms. The ISDH issued notice in the June ISDH Long Term Care Newsletter that they would begin surveying for the requirement and will take licensure action to revoke the license of any facility not in compliance. To assist with facility compliance, a copy of the ISDH Surveyor worksheet that is being used in the surveys is available in the Members Only section of the IHCA website.
The ISDH indicated that they are aware of one facility in Indiana that has not installed any sprinkler system and licensure action is commencing against that facility. In addition, the ISDH is finding that several facilities have not met the requirement to have a smoke detector in each resident care room.
