Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure that the facility environment
remains free of accident hazards when the temperatures of hot water at the sinks of Room AA and Room
BB were at 127 degrees Fahrenheit (F, temperature scale) and 130 F. This failure placed the residents and
staff at risk for accidental burns.
Findings:
During an observation with the maintenance director (MD) on 1/26/24 at 12:45 p.m., the sink in the
restroom of Room AA was shared by four residents, and the temperature of the sink hot water was at 127 F.
The sink in the restroom of Room BB was shared by two residents, and the temperature of the sink hot
water was at 130 F.
During an interview with the MD on 1/26/24 at 1:05 p.m., he stated the sink hot water temperature should
be maintained between 105 F to 115 F.
Review of the facility ' s undated policy, TELS Masters, indicated the hot water temperature typically falls
between 105 F to 115 F. For burn prevention, it advises that the facility keep domestic water temperatures
below 120 F.
