“I would hope that one was required by the state as well as the county and that it was kept in good working order.”
I’m a resident of the same city and county as the nursing home, but a different township.
My 12 year old townhouse has an obscene amount of sprinklers, to the point that guests comment on the fact. (the family room is roughly 12 x 20 and has 5 sprinkler heads, and the bedrooms have 2 or 3 each.)
Not sure what was up with this facility.
