This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many 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 observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure temperatures in the building remained within a comfortable range for residents when the air conditioning was not functioning properly. The facility also failed to follow their hot weather policy and measure room temperatures and humidity levels when the air conditioning was not functioning properly to determine if resident safety could be maintained. This failure resulted in room temperatures as high as 91 degrees Fahrenheit in areas occupied by residents and residents complaining of feeling hot. The Immediate Jeopardy began on April 12, 2024, at 5:29 PM when the facility was notified by V9 (Account Manager HVAC-Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning Contractor) the facility would have no heating or cooling capacity whatsoever without necessary repairs. V1 (Administrator) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on June 13, 2024, at 10:40 AM. The surveyor confirmed by observation, interview, and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was not removed at the time of exit. This applies to all 98 residents residing in the facility. The findings include: The Facility Data Sheet dated June 12, 2024, shows the facility census as 98 residents. On June 12, 2024, at 11:42 AM, V1 (Administrator) was not present in the building. V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) stated, They are still working on the air conditioning situation. We have some portable air conditioners in the hallways and fans. On June 12, 2024, at 12:00 PM, a general tour of the facility was conducted with V3 (Maintenance Director). V3 stated he has been the Maintenance Director of the facility for several weeks. V3 continued to say, There are leaks at the bottom of the cooling tank for the air conditioning, so the air conditioning does not work. V3 stated he does not have a device to measure and obtain humidity readings. V3 continued to say he does not have a thermometer to obtain air temperature readings and uses an infrared temperature gun for reading surface temperatures. V3 used the infrared temperature gun to obtain surface temperatures of walls, floors, and ceilings during the general tour of the facility. When V3 pointed the gun into the air inside the building, and outside of the building, a temperature reading would not display on the infrared temperature gun, and no air temperature reading could be obtained. During the tour, V3 showed multiple resident rooms and resident areas where thermostats were present showing the air temperature in the room. Those readings were as follows (all (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many the lack of heat earlier in the year. V7 continued to say, You cannot measure air temperature with an infrared or laser temperature gun. Those devices only measure surface temperature. For instance, point it at the floor, and you get the temperature of the floor. Point it at the wall and you get the temperature of the wall. Of course, if you point it at the floor, you will get a cooler reading than the actual air temperature in the room. We have been talking to the facility and other facilities in their group. They signed up for preventative service agreements over the past few months. At least a couple of months ago, we identified an issue with their piping for the heating and air conditioning system and we told them they were not going to have air conditioning this year. We told them some major steps needed to be taken and they have called us out on many occasions to try to fix different things. The system is not able to operate because there is a leak underground. If the system is working properly, the system circulates water to all of the rooms. With the pipes broken underground, water just pours out of the cooling tower and into the ground, never reaching the pipes inside the facility. We cannot fill that piping with water because of the leaks, and we cannot locate the broken piping unless we break up concrete and concrete floors in the facility. They were notified on April 12, 2024, about the piping issues, and just authorized isolating the leak on June 10, 2024. We tried to identify where the leak was on Monday, and we found that multiple pipes were leaking. By the end of that day, they knew if could not be fixed. We proposed we would provide temporary cooling that day. We did not receive authorization to move forward with the temporary cooling until just about an hour ago. They have authorized temporary cooling for the four resident wings. We will obtain outside cooling units and temporarily place them outside the facility at the end of their four resident wings. It should be enough cooling to temper the resident rooms enough. We are hoping the cooling capacity will make the rooms comfortable. On April 12, 2024, we sent an email to the facility and notified them they would not have air conditioning this year due to the underground pipe leaks. We did not hear from them, and a month later we touched base with them again, reminding them we could not turn on the air conditioning for them due to the pipe leaks. We never told them we would fix the leaking pipe. They wanted us to repair the cooling tower and I told them we could try to repair the cooling tower. We tried to explain to them that would not fix the problem. An email dated April 12, 2024, from V9 (Account Manager HVAC Contractor) and addressed to the facility Administrator (no name), V4 (VP Plant Operations), and V17 (Corporate Facilities Manager) shows: Subject: [URGENT] Critical Issues - [Facility] HVAC System Piping. We were on site today to assess the HVAC system loop/broken piping. The conclusion is that the piping is in a dire need of being repaired. Without repairs on this piping, [the facility] will have no heating or cooling capacity whatsoever . I would suggest that we have a meeting soon to discuss a plan of action to get this addressed in the timeliest manner possible. An email dated May 9, 2024, at 9:36 AM from V9 (Account Manager HVAC Contractor) and addressed to facility Administrator (no name), V4 (VP Plant Operations), and V17 (Corporate Facilities Manager) shows: Subject: [URGENT] Critical Issues - [facility] HVAC System Piping. Just following up on this matter again. We cannot do any seasonal (cooling) changeover without the piping issues being addressed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. On June 12, 2024, at 1:55 PM, V4 (VP Plant Operations) stated the facility has problems with water from the cooling tower getting to the building due to broken pipes underground. V4 stated, There are too many leaks in the pipes to fix. I want to say around early May 2024 we started to have trouble with the system. The facility provided a quote for rental cooling systems dated June 11, 2024. The facility does not have any other documentation to show quotes were obtained for rental cooling units prior to June (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145694 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 10 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 145694 B.

F 0584 11, 2024. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety On June 12, 2024, at 4:06 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, We were taking room temperatures with an infrared temperature gun. I did not know air temperature could not be checked using those infrared guns. We were not measuring humidity as shown in the policy. We were not checking temperatures and humidity every two hours. I believe we felt we were doing everything we needed to do. It is a complicated problem. There are a lot of different layers. We did not have a conversation about renting temporary chilling units until Monday, June 10. V1 continued to say the facility's air conditioning concerns were not reported to the Department of Public Health. Residents Affected - Many On June 13, 2024, at 10:40 AM, the facility continued to feel very warm inside. V3 (Maintenance Director) stated he did not have the proper device to measure air temperatures or humidity and had not been monitoring the temperatures or humidity readings every two hours. V3 stated he was not aware the facility has a policy to obtain temperature and humidity readings every two hours when the air conditioning is malfunctioning. On June 13, 2024, room temperatures were checked, beginning at 10:50 AM and the following temperature readings were obtained based on the thermostats mounted in the rooms, due to the facility not having the equipment to measure air temperatures (all temperatures in Fahrenheit): June 13, 2024: 10:50 AM, Main dining room, the thermostat on the wall showed 87 degrees.

V14 stated the room felt very hot. It has been very hot in the facility since last week. They have to push fluids. These people are more prone to dehydration. Residents with cardiac issues should have input and output monitored when it is this hot in the facility. 11:17 AM, R29 was lying in bed. Her room felt very warm. No thermostat was present in the room to measure the air temperature. R29 was holding an empty plastic cup in her hand and crying, Water, water, I need water. R29 had a meal tray on her bedside table with a cup of lemonade. R29 stated she does not like to drink lemonade because, It is too sweet. R29 continued to call out for water and was unable to turn on her call light. No staff were in the vicinity of R29's room to hear R29 calling for water. No staff were observed passing supplemental water to residents. 11:20 AM, R13's room, the thermostat in the room showed 85 degrees.
