Upon assessment, I realized it was a burn and that is when [V6 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant] and [V7 CNA] informed me that when they went in to [R1's] room, his knee was on the heater. [R1] uses a low bed that goes all the way to the floor. I provided the medical treatment, measured it, dressed it, and I called for a manager. The wound was warm and red, at that point there was no drainage, just redness but there was skin that looked like there was a blister that had popped. [R1] didn't report any pain to that area. when palpating the area, he does flinch. He doesn't usually stay in bed for breakfast, but they said he was sleeping really good and he has been more tired than usual. V4's said the hospice company was notified of the new wound and there were no recommendations for needing treatment outside of the facility. V4 said R1 did not require treatment from an acute care setting. On 12/6/25 at 10:51 AM, V4 and this surveyor went to R1's room. R1's bed was positioned parallel to the room's heating unit under the window. There was a grated radiator heating unit down the length of the wall under the window. V4 said the mat that was on the floor now was not there previously and R1's bed was usually pushed close to the heating unit. V4 said there would usually be only a small amount of space between the heating unit and R1's bed so that the CNA could squeeze in between the bed and the heater. V4 said R1's bed is usually in the lowest position when he is in it. V4 put R1's bed into the lowest position which showed R1's knee would have been at approximately the same height as the heating grate. On 12/6/25 at 8:57 AM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) said, . They came into my meeting and said they needed me to come and look at something. When I went into the room to access the injury, [V4 RN] had already assessed it and dressed it.

He showed slight discomfort when I was manipulating it. I trimmed off the excess skin that was hanging there and redressed it. He was happy and smiling afterward. On 12/6/25 at 12:45 PM, V6 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) said, . I think it was around 10 AM, I had assistance from another person to help me get him up. That is when I saw the burn. When I went in there, he was laying on his left side like he always does. but his leg was on the heater, so I moved him and went to go get the nurse. he didn't seem to be hurting. When I lifted his leg up off the heater, it was pink and red, the part that was on the heater. He can move around in bed himself. We position him and he will turn himself back and lay himself on that side. He grabs the bar and scoots himself either up or down. His bed is usually pretty close to the heater. They told me to move the bed after this happened.On 12/6/25 at 1:01 PM, V7 CNA said, It was probably a little bit after 10:30 AM when V6 asked her to help with [R1]. When we went in there his leg was hanging off the bed, it was kind of tucked into the bed and kind of onto the heater. That is how close the bed is to the heater. When I moved the bed, to get in between the bed and the window, she called the nurse because there was blood dripping onto the floor. I didn't know if he tore the skin or if it got burnt from the heater. He was not complaining of pain. He didn't seem to notice it was burned. His feet were tucked in the bed and his knees were pointed out to the heater. The bed was so close to the heater that I had to move the bed to squeeze in to help [V6] get him ready. He moves his legs himself sometimes.On 12/6/25 at 11:57 AM, V5 (Personal Care Helper) said, I took water into [R1] yesterday but that was between 9:45 AM to 10:00 AM.

He wasn't moving and didn't make any sound.On 12/6/25 at 11:15 AM, V9 (Owner/Maintenance) said, . When it gets colder in the winter we use the boiler system, hot water radiator heat to heat the building.

At 12:03 PM, V9 and this surveyor went into R1's room to record the surface temperature of the metal grates on the heating unit near where R1's knee would have been touching it on 12/5/25. The surface temperature of the heating unit grates was recorded at 126 degrees Fahrenheit.On 12/6/25 at 3:20 PM, V1 Administrator said, We moved [R1's] bed and we went through the whole facility to make sure no other resident beds were that close to the heating unit.The facility's undated policy and procedure showed, Safety and Health Policy.
