In March 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ruled that nursing homes that participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs must have automatic sprinkler systems installed by August 13, 2013.
The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care recently reported that, despite having a five-year window to fix this problem, nearly 1200 nursing homes across the country are not compliant with that ruling. Michigan specifically has 65 nursing homes that have only partially installed sprinkler systems. Residents in these facilities are at risk for injury or death in case of a fire. See the list below for all Michigan facilities not fully outfitted with sprinklers.
Nursing home residents are especially vulnerable because of impaired mobility or confusion, if they suffer from dementia. In the event of a fire, a facility that lacks adequate fire suppression or sprinkler systems would be a death trap for its residents.
If you are in search of a nursing home, or you have a loved one already living in one of these homes without sprinklers, ask the administrator these questions:
- Why is the facility not fully outfitted with a sprinkler system since you were given 5 years to comply?
- When will you be fully sprinklered?
- How are you protecting residents against dangerous fires until you are fully sprinklered?
