On 02/20/23 at 1:12 PM, an interview was conducted with Staff D, in which she was asked why she had been observed previously by two (2) AHCA surveyors as having only walked back and glanced at Resident #3's lunch meal tray (which still remained in the cart), instead of taking the tray down to the resident's room to assist her to eat, in a timely manner. Staff D, replied to this Surveyor, this is what the CNAs are to do, and she just walked away.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to maintain the hot water temperature at an acceptable level for the safety of the residents observed during an Environmental tour for 7 rooms out of 20 rooms occupied. The findings included: The policy titled, Monitoring and Recording Facility Hot Water Temperatures for Residents' Rooms, Common Areas, and Shower Rooms, dated 11/30/2014, showed to maintain and control hot water temperatures within the facility to federal and state standards. Hot water temperatures will be maintained at an acceptable level for the safety of the residents and staff. The following procedures will be implemented, by the Maintenance staff, if a hot water temperature is found to be above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, the acceptable level for resident rooms, showers, and common areas: (If high temperature is found on the weekend or holidays, immediately call the maintenance staff). In a tour conducted on 02/22/23 from 10:44 AM to 12:00 PM, the following rooms were visited accompanied by the facility's Maintenance Director. The hot water temperatures were checked in the bathroom's sinks using the facility's own thermometer: In room [ROOM NUMBER], hot water in the sink was recorded at 120 degrees Fahrenheit; in room [ROOM NUMBER], water in the sink was recorded at 120 degrees Fahrenheit, room [ROOM NUMBER], water in the sink was recorded at 122 degrees Fahrenheit, room [ROOM NUMBER], water in the sink was recorded at 124 degrees Fahrenheit, room [ROOM NUMBER], water in the sink was recorded at 125 degrees Fahrenheit, room [ROOM NUMBER] water in the sink was recorded at 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and room [ROOM NUMBER] water in the sink was recorded at 124 degrees Fahrenheit. The issue affected seven rooms with a total of 11 residents. During this tour, the Maintenance Director stated that he did not know that the hot water in these rooms was above 110 degrees Fahrenheit. He further revealed that two water heaters are located outside the facility, connected to these rooms, and control the hot water in the above rooms. He changed the elements in one of the hot water heaters on the right when he noticed that the older elements were rusty and old and needed changing. When asked when he changed the elements in the water heater, he said a week ago. He also reported that the water temperature in the water heater tanks could only be adjusted inside the water heaters, and one needs to open the water heaters from the inside to adjust the temperatures. When asked how he regulates the temperatures, he stated that it is hard for a person to control the temperature. The Maintenance Director further said that he conducts room audits and visits regularly to check the hot water in the chosen rooms. He said that he only picks a few rooms at a time to complete his audits. Record review showed that the above seven rooms with hot water above 120 degrees Fahrenheit had 11 residents altogether. All eleven residents were reviewed for the Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score for their cognitive abilities. All 11 residents were also reviewed for their mobility under section G of the Minimum Data Set. Two residents out of the 11 residents had BIMS scores below ten which showed that they had a cognitive deficit and were somewhat confused. These two residents could also walk around and use the bathrooms when needed. In an interview conducted on 02/22/23 at 3:30 PM, the Maintenance Director stated that he emptied both water heaters connected to the aforementioned rooms and said that he lowered the water gauge temperature inside the heat. This was done after Surveyor interventions.

She also said the fortified meals were placed in the meal tracker but not on the diet orders. The Clinical Dietitian added the large portions to the meal tracker on 01/27/23 and did not provide Resident #35 with another nutritional supplement. When asked about providing Resident #35 with a different type of dietary supplement, she said that they only have one kind and that the kitchen will not make any homemade shakes because they do not have a mixer. When asked if she visited Resident #35 to obtain food likes and preferences, she said that it is not her responsibility but the Foods Service Director's. Surveyor stated that getting food preferences from residents is an essential part of the Clinical Dietitian, and she said, I am sure I visited her in the past. She was not able to show Surveyor any preferences that were recorded for Resident #35. In an observation conducted on 02/23/23 at 5:35 PM, Resident #35 was eating her dinner meal. A closer observation of the meal ticket showed large portions with fortified mashed potatoes.

In this Observation, Resident #35 said that she is sick of the fortified mashed potatoes every day and she is always starving. She asked Surveyor if she could get a large order of macaroni and cheese that was given to other residents for dinner. At 5:40 PM, the Food Service Director accompanied Surveyor to Resident #35's room. Resident #35 finished her all-dinner plate and said, I am starving, and the medication I take is making me eat so much she further told the Food Service Director that she was not getting enough food in the facility and that she had to go across the street at night to buy more food.
