The route a resident actually walks: ward corridor, day room and after-dark bathroom path measured, hazards counted and handed over, Los Angeles County care organization.

A hospital ward's corridor is not a hazard to anyone reading a policy about it. It is a hazard at 2 a.m. to an 84-year-old on a walker heading for the toilet past a cart, a floor transition and a handrail that stops six feet short of the door. Inpatient falls run at about 3.56 per 1,000 patient-days with roughly a quarter causing injury (Bouldin 2013), and the dimensions that make that route walkable are published and fixed. A Los Angeles County hospital or care home can name this exact packet: somebody walks the route the way a resident walks it, measures it against the public criteria, and hands every defect to maintenance the same day.

Pay

$110 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

route named and walked end to end (corridor, day room, and the bed-to-toilet route) + clear width measured at the narrowest point of each segment + every change in level and trip hazard counted, measured and photographed with its location + handrail continuity tested by hand along every stretch with a step or grade change + night lighting read at floor level along the after-dark toilet route + every defect logged with its measurement and handed to the facility's own maintenance channel the same day, with the handover acknowledged

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• a tape measure reading to 1/8 in, and a rigid straightedge for changes in level
• a phone light meter or a handheld lux meter, for the after-dark floor-level readings
• a phone camera, with the facility's own photography rule confirmed before the first photo
• a defect log carrying, per row: segment, hazard type, measurement, the criterion it fails, location, photo reference, and the time it was handed over
• the facility's own maintenance reporting channel, named and confirmed before the walk starts

Steps

1. 1. Agree the route and the time with the facility before walking: which corridor, which day room, which bed-to-toilet run, whose escort, and the facility's own rules on photography and on entering a patient's room. Never walk an unagreed route.
2. 2. Walk the route once at normal speed without measuring, and write down the segments in the order a resident meets them. Measuring before you have seen the whole route makes the narrowest point easy to miss.
3. 3. Measure the clear width at the narrowest point of each segment and record it against 36 in (32 in is the minimum permitted at a point, for a run of at most 24 in). Record what is narrowing it, including anything parked there today.
4. 4. Find and measure every change in level and floor transition: 1/4 in vertical is the limit without a bevel, up to 1/2 in when beveled at 1:2. Measure carpet pile against the 1/2 in maximum. Photograph each one with the tape in frame.
5. 5. Test handrail continuity by hand along every stretch with a step or a grade change, walking the full run with your hand on the rail: record every break, every missing run and every gripping surface outside 34 in to 38 in above the walking surface.
6. 6. Record every object protruding more than 4 in into the circulation path between 27 in and 80 in above the floor, since a cane finds nothing at that height.
7. 7. Return after dark and read the light at floor level along the bed-to-toilet run, at the same points each time, and log the readings with the clock time.
8. 8. Hand the whole defect log to the facility's own maintenance channel the same day, get the handover acknowledged, and record who took it and when. Anything of immediate danger goes to the on-duty charge nurse or manager during the walk, not at the end of it.

What counts as done

• The route is named and its segments listed, with the narrowest clear width measured in each segment
• Every change in level and trip hazard on the route is counted, measured against the named criterion, photographed and located
• Handrail continuity tested by hand along every stretch with a step or grade change, with each break or missing run recorded
• Night lighting read at floor level along the after-dark bed-to-toilet route, with the reading and the time recorded
• Every defect handed to the facility's own maintenance channel the same day and the handover acknowledged, with no patient assessed, moved or advised

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
