AB2511 Assessments Made Easy.

A facility assessment from Maedo Architects is the first step to achieving AB-2511 / PIN 74 compliance!

What is AB-2511 / PIN 74 Compliance?

AB-2511 requires Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) to have an alternate source of power to support the following loads:

• Equipment required to maintain safe temperature for residents,

• Life-saving equipment, and

• Oxygen-generating devices.

Additionally, the bill requires that the alternate power source(s) used to back up these loads be provided with sufficient fuel onsite to maintain power production for no less than 96 hours (or make arrangements for fuel delivery to meet the 96 hours of operation) during an emergency event. The bill stipulates that the alternate power source must operate during power outages that may result from a public safety power shutoff, an emergency, a natural disaster, or other cause.

The bill went into effect on January 1, 2023, and requires that all SNFs comply with the stated requirements by January 1, 2024.

How We Help.

  • Our team of experts will conduct a full on-site professional assessment of your facility’s electrical systems, electrical generation capacity and emergency electrical sytems in order to determine compliance.

  • We will submit the facility assessment to the Department of Health Care Access and Information for review and determination of compliance or non-compliance.

  • In the event of non-compliance, we will discuss the range of options available to owners and facility managers.

  • If necessary, we will work with facility owners and managers to design an AB-2511 compliant system and obtain HCAI approval.
