**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain hot water temperatures in the
shower rooms all six shower rooms in the facility for five out of five (R1, R3-R6) residents reviewed for
adequate water temperatures.
Findings include:
R1 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, and lumbar disc
degeneration.
The Facility Incident Report Form dated 1/4/25 documents at 10AM on this day the facility experienced
suboptimal water temperatures. Plumbers were called out to assess the situation and identified the cause
of the problem. Staff and residents were made aware of the situation. The hot water system currently
operational and returned back to normal use. Water temperatures were tested to ensure compliance.
The Loss of Hot Water In-service dated 1/5/25 documents the purpose of the in-service is to ensure staff
know how to maintain the safety, comfort, and well-being of residents in the event of a hot water system
failure. All staff must notify the Maintenance Director immediately upon discovery of loss of hot water.
On 1/7/25 at 12:40PM, the surveyor asked V2 (Maintenance Director) to take water temperatures in the
facility. V2 stated that the plumbing company is currently working on cleaning the part so the water tank is
not on so all water temperatures in the facility would be suboptimal. The surveyor notified that water
temperatures would need to be taken at some point during the day. V2 stated V2 first noticed the
temperatures dropping on the water tanks on 1/3/25 and a plumbing contractor was called out immediately.
V2 reported the plumbing company notified V2 there was an issue with the heat exchanger. V2 reported
normal water temperatures in the facility range form 105-109 degrees F. V2 stated the temperature should
stay between 100-110 degrees F for residents. V2 reported V2 discovered the issue on 1/3/25 while doing
the daily water temperature checks. V2 stated V2 could not remember what the water temperatures were
but knew they were under 100 degrees F which is the lowest V2 wants the shower water temperature to be.
V2 reported staff was notified of the issue on 1/3/25 and were given instructions not to use the showers
until further notice.
On 1/7/25 at 1:34PM, R1 was sitting in a wheelchair watching TV. R1 stated R1 last took a shower on
12/29/24 because the showers have not had hot water since then. R1 reported the sink water has been
warm but the showers are ice cold. R1 stated R1 ' s usual shower days are Sunday, Tuesday, and

R6 feels like the facility is moving very slow in fixing the hot water issue and has not updated the residents
on when the issue will be resolved.
On 1/7/25 at 2:57PM, V1 (Assistant Administrator) stated V1 was notified of the showers not having hot
water on 1/4/25. V1 reported the plumbing company was called out on Friday (1/3/25) to clean the heat
exchanger and told the facility 1/4/25 that the part would need to be replaced. V1 was not aware how cold
the water temperatures in the shower were but was aware they were below 100 degrees F.
On 1/7/25 at 3:50PM, V2 took the surveyor into the boiler room. The thermometer on the hot water tank
was 151 degrees Fahrenheit (F). V2 reported this water comers in from the reservoir tank and that tank
stays at 115 degrees F. V2 stated the water from the hot water tanks comes out of that tank and mixes with
the reservoir tank and goes out into the pipes up to the floors at 128 degrees F. V2 reported the plumbing
company took off the heat exchanger and cleaned all the sediment out of the part then replaced new
copper piping which was completed at 3:20PM so the cold water is not fully cleared out of the tanks yet. V2
then took V1 (Assistant Administrator) and the surveyor to the floors to take water temperatures. At 3:53PM,
room [ROOM NUMBER] sink was tested by V2 and was 104 degrees F. V2 then turned on the water of the
third floor north shower room at 3:55PM. V2 let the water run until 4:01PM and then took the temperature.
The temperature of the shower water was 55 degrees F. At 4:03PM, room [ROOM NUMBER] sink was 108
degrees F and the shower in this room was 74 degrees F. V2 then turned on the water of the fourth floor
north shower room at 4:05PM. The temperature of the water in this shower room at 4:06PM was 68
degrees F. V2 then stated the water in the shower rooms on the second floor would be a suboptimal
temperature as well due to the pipes still having cold water in them from earlier in the day. V2 reported it
would take two to three hours for the water to be running within range again.
On 1/7/25 at 4:21PM, V9 (Site Manager) stated V9 was notified 1/6/25 that the boiler was not properly
functioning due to temperatures of the water dropping that were too cold for residents. V9 reported V9
talked to the contractor immediately and the contractors began ordering the part needed to repair the
boiler. V9 said, I have no idea why I was notified yesterday. I don't know why I was not told about it sooner.
On 1/9/25 at 9:45AM, V2 stated from 1/3/25 to 1/7/25 the plumbing company progressively tried different
methods to get the water temperatures within range, but it ultimately took until 1/7/25 for optimal
temperatures to be maintained. V2 reported the heat exchange part that needs to be replaced is still in
route to the facility and will be put on as soon as it arrives. V2 stated water temperatures were taken every
two hours while V2 was in the facility but V2 only documented the temperatures once a day.
On 1/9/25 at 1:53PM, R3 stated the hot water was working again on Tuesday night around 8PM. R3
reported R3 took a shower last on 12/29/24. R3 stated that the facility provided wipes to wash up. R3
reported R3 only feels clean after taking a shower versus using the wipes. R3 denied being kept up to date
with what was going on with the hot water. R3 denied any issues with the hot water since it was back within
normal range again on Tuesday night.
The Service Request dated 1/3/25 documents a service was requested for the water heaters in the
mechanical boiler room due to no hot water. The heat exchange coil is malfunctioning and needs immediate
attention. This request was created at 9:38 AM. A technician arrived to the facility at 12:05 PM. The
technician departed the facility at 5:59 PM, but the work for this job was not yet completed. The issue is
temporarily fixed and a quote is needed. The technician suggested the unit will need a

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, facility lacked an effective system to prevent fluid volume overload, assess and
monitor fluid volume status, and notify the nephrologist of treatment refusals and abnormal radiology
results for one (R8) out of three residents reviewed for dialysis in a total sample of ten. This failure resulted
in staff failing to recognize R8's change in condition as fluid volume overload after R8 complained of
shortness of breath, and R8 expired in the facility after being found unresponsive.
Residents Affected - Few
The Immediate Jeopardy began on 1/5/25. When R8 went over 5 days without a dialysis treatment and the
facility staff failed to notify the nephrologist of R8's refusal to go the hospital as ordered and failed to notify
the nephrologist/attending physician of an abnormal chest X-ray and failed to prevent and assess for fluid
volume overload. R8 complained of shortness of breath and later found to be unresponsive. V1 (Asst
Administrator) was notified on 1/24/25 at 12:13 PM of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed
through observation, interview, and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 1.30.25,
but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation
and effectiveness of the in-service training.
Findings Include:
R8 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and
hypercapnia, morbid obesity, congestive heart failure, cardiomegaly, lymphedema, end stage renal disease
with dependence on renal dialysis, and encounter for tracheostomy and gastrostomy.
A Nursing note dated 1/3/25 at 4:30 PM documents R8 refused to go to dialysis. The nurse explained the
importance of dialysis and risks for not receiving treatment. The dialysis nurse spoke with the nephrologist
who made an order to send R8 to the hospital for an evaluation.
A Nursing note dated 1/3/25 at 7:12 PM documents the ambulance arrived for transportation to the
hospital, but R8 refused to go. The primary physician was notified. There is no documentation of the
nephrologist being notified of R8's refusal to go to the hospital for an evaluation.
A Nurse Practitioner note dated 1/4/25 documents R8 was seen today for the initial visit. R8 refused
hemodialysis on Friday and discussed concerns. R8 is to resume hemodialysis on Monday. No further
orders were put in place to monitor R8 before the next dialysis session.
A Nursing note dated 1/5/25 at 4:19 PM documents R8 is receiving continuous oxygen at 3 L via nasal
cannula. Vital signs are within normal limits but R8 complains of shortness of breath. R8 continuously
requested to go to the hospital. The nurse and management educated R8 on breathing techniques and that
vital signs are normal. A chest x-ray was ordered to rule out pneumonia. R8 was also counseled on refusing
dialysis treatment and the adverse effects to overall health. R8's family member was notified and reported
understanding. There is no documentation that an assessment was completed to listen to R8's lungs or that
any vital signs were taken after this point to assess R8 for any further changes in condition or changes in
vital signs.
A Nursing note dated 1/5/25 at 5:10 PM documents R8 refused to go to the hospital. The nurse educated
R8 that R8 should go to the hospital due to refusing dialysis treatments and missing two sessions. R8
voiced understanding after education was provided. A STAT order for labs were put in place. This note was
not charted until 10:22PM which is after the time R8 expired.

have called the nephrologist to update V22 and get any further orders. V20 stated if a resident skips dialysis
then they can become fluid overloaded. V20 reported fluid overload can begin anywhere from one day to
three days after missing a treatment.
On 1/15/25 at 11:43AM, V21 (Nurse Practitioner) stated V21 was aware that R8 refused dialysis on 1/3.
V21 reported telling R8 that if R8 became short of breath that R8 would need to go to the hospital to be
dialyzed. V21 stated V21 did not follow up with R8 on 1/5 because when V21 saw R8 the day before, R8
was stable. V21 reported vital signs were being done each shift on R8 so no other orders needed to be put
in. V21 stated V21 did not put in any further orders to monitor for fluid overload because R8 was stable the
last time R8 was assessed by V21.
On 1/15/25 at 12:03PM, V22 (Nephrologist) stated V22 had a very good rapport with R8 and followed R8
since R8 began dialysis at the hospital. V22 reported being aware that R8 refused dialysis on 1/3. V22
stated that an order was put in to send R8 out to the hospital for an evaluation. V22 denied that any staff
made the dialysis center or V22 aware that R8 refused to go to the hospital. V22 stated V22 was under the
impression that R8 went to the hospital and got dialysis there. V22 reported R8 does not have a healthy
heart or lungs to be skipping treatments without issues. V22 stated if a dialysis patient tells you they are
short of breath then they need emergent dialysis. V22 reported V22 wanted to be involved if R8 was
continuing to refuse care due to having a close relationship with R8. V22 stated V22 would have continued
to speak with R8 or even come in to talk to R8 until R8 agreed to go to the hospital. V22 reported V22
would have gotten to the root of why R8 was refusing to go to dialysis. V22 stated that if V22 was aware that
R8 did not go to the hospital that at a minimum labs and chest x-rays would have been ordered daily over
the weekend.
On 1/15/25 at 12:21PM, V23 (Nurse Manager) stated V23 was aware that R8 refused dialysis on 1/3. V23
reported V23 began looking through orders and realize the facility had nothing going on for him. V23
suggested getting labs and a chest x-ray to get a baseline. V23 denied R8 received any dialysis since R8
was admitted on 12/31. V23 reported vital signs were completed once a shift to monitor R8. V23 stated the
facility staff communicate with a primary physician and dialysis staff communicates with the nephrologist.
V23 reported if R8 was symptomatic then R8 would've been sent out to the hospital immediately. V23
stated all orders were put in STAT due to it being a weekend and it would have been a long wait if put in as
a standard order. V23 reported they needed to be updated on R8's status on that day. V23 denied being
aware that R8 complained of being short of breath.
On 1/15/25 at 12:45PM, V1 (Asst. Administrator) stated V1 was at the facility but stepped out of the building
at the time R8 was found unresponsive. V1 reported upon returning to the facility, V1 saw the paramedics
and learned R8 expired. V1 stated V1 was made aware that R8 skipped dialysis on 1/3/25 and refused to
go to the hospital. V1 reported the plan was to have a conversation with R8 on 1/6/25 to see if R8 wanted to
continue dialysis or be put on hospice. V1 stated R8 had a chest x-ray and labs ordered on 1/5 because R8
refused dialysis. V1 reported V24 (Primary Physician) was made

aware every time R8 refused dialysis or to go to the hospital. V1 stated only the dialysis nurses
communicate with the nephrologist (V22). V1 reported it was portrayed that V22 put in the order for R8 to
go to the hospital. V1 was not aware if V22 was called after R8 refused to go to the hospital. V1 reported
the results to the x-rays are automatically uploaded to the computer system. V1 stated the nurse is
responsible to read the results and notify the physician if there's any abnormalities. V1 reported if R8 was
having any symptoms of fluid overload, R8 would have needed to go to the hospital and would not have
had a choice at that point. V1 stated vital signs and head to toe assessments were performed each shift to
monitor R8 for fluid overload.
On 1/15/25 at 1:56PM, V24 (Primary Physician) stated R8 refused dialysis and refused to go to the hospital
on 1/3. V24 reported R8 asked to go to the hospital again on 1/5 due to a change in condition. V24 was
unable to remember what the change of condition was. V24 stated if dialysis is refused or sessions are
missed that the body can fill up with fluid. V24 reported the results of R8's chest x-ray indicate R8 would've
had some kind of pneumonia and that the pleural fluid was meaning that R8's heart was filling up from fluid
due to the kidneys, not working.
On 1/16/25 at 12:40PM, V25 (Radiology Director of Operations) stated once the facility puts in order for an
image to be taken, it gets electronically sent over to the radiology company. V25 reported the x-ray was
ordered for R8 and assigned to a technician at 11:39 AM. V25 reported STAT orders are normally taken
between 4 to 6 hours. V25 could not answer why the x-ray was not completed within 4 to 6 hours but
reported the facilities are aware that if the STAT x-ray is not completed within this timeframe, they can
decide what to do by calling the physician for notification. V25 stated the facility has bidirectional access
which allows them to see results once they are uploaded into the computer system after being reviewed by
radiologist. V25 reported the results to the chest x-ray for R8 were uploaded into the system at 6:52 PM.
On 1/17/25 at 10:05AM, V1 stated STAT x-rays are usually done with in 4 to 6 hours. V1 reported
sometimes the x-rays aren't taken in that time frame. V1 stated if a resident declines any further or shows
symptoms of anything then they are sent out to the hospital immediately.
On 1/18/25 at 11:10AM, V26 (Radiology Technician) stated V26 got to the facility and took the ordered
chest x-ray around 6:30PM. V26 reported R8 was lethargic and would not respond to any questioning. V26
stated V26 exited the room before doing the exam to ask an unknown CNA if this was R8's normal state.
V26 reported the CNA told V26 that it was normal for R8 to act unresponsive and did not go into the room
to check on R8. V26 stated since R8 was not able to follow directions or move, V26 was only able to get a
one view chest x-ray when a two view was ordered. V26 denied R8 being able to roll onto R8's side. V26
reported out of the 17 images, 11 of them were scheduled to be STAT that day. V26 denied the facility
calling and checking on the status of when the x-ray would be taken. V26 reported normally if a resident
cannot move staff will come in and assist, but no staff was available to help during the time of this x-ray.
On 1/21/25 at 1:17PM, V19 stated V19 received an order to send R8 to the hospital on 1/5 but R8 changed
R8's mind. V19 again denied remembering if R8 complained of being short of breath V19 was shown the
note that was written by V19 on /5/25. V19 said, Apparently he was complaining of shortness of breath after
I read my note. V19 denied remembering what time R8 complained of shortness of breath. V19 reported
checking R8's vital signs one time during that shift. V19 reported getting an order for a chest x-ray from V27
(Nurse Practitioner). V19 stated V24 (Primary Physician) gave the order to send R8 to the hospital. V19
reported an order should be put into the computer system as soon as they are received V19 denied

so it can be completed as soon as possible. V24 denied remembering what orders staff suggested for R8
on 1/5. V24 denied remembering why the chest x-ray was ordered for R8 on 1/5. V24 said, If the order says
congestion, then I guess he was having some congestion. We have to put in a reason for every x-ray so the
radiologist knows what they're looking for. V24 denied that staff ever called V24 to report a change in
condition where R8 needed to be sent out via 911. V24 stated if a resident has a change then V24 must be
notified, but if it is serious, then staff must send out the resident via 911 as soon as possible.

All current 22 dialysis residents were assessed for potential fluid overload, intervention in place as
appropriate.
There are no current dialysis residents refusing dialysis treatment currently.
Residents Affected - Few
Licensed nurses were educated 1/24/25 by the Director of Nursing on the need to assess and implement
interventions related to fluid volume overload when residents miss dialysis treatments. Dialysis assessment
orders were updated per their physician. Their assessment order reads: Monitor for signs and symptoms of
fluid volume overload, edema, bloating, headache, weight gain, shortness of breath, elevated blood
pressure, JVD, lung sounds with crackles or wheezing, abdominal distention, or tachycardia. This
assessment will be completed every shift and PRN.
Licensed nurses were educated by the Director of Nursing on 1/24/25 on the importance of notifying the
Attending physician and if unable to reach him/her notifying the resident's Nephrologist. Licensed nurses
were educated 1/24/25 by the Director of Nursing if STAT radiology orders are not able to be completed
within the recommended 4-6 hours the provider will be notified for additional instructions.
Licensed Nurses will not work until they have been educated.
Radiology company (All-Stat) has been notified of the expectation of timely notification of abnormal
radiology results. Based on information from the radiology provider, x rays have an approximate read time
of 90 minutes. Once the radiology company's quality controls has reviewed the results the results will be
uploaded into the electronic health record. Nurses will obtain the information from the record at that time
and notify physician accordingly. Licensed nurses were educated on 1/30/25 to review their electronic
health records within 90 minutes to check and communicate the results of the radiology report.
An additional email notification system has been implemented with the radiology company. This ensures all
nursing managers receive results as they are uploaded into the electronic health record. All nursing
managers were educated on 1/30/25 on the additional notification system.
The Director of Nursing will audit weekly all residents who refused dialysis to ensure they have been
assessed, appropriate interventions are implemented, and that the physician was made aware. In the event
that the resident's physician was not made aware, she will ensure that the Nephrologist was.
The Director of Nursing will complete weekly audits x 3 months to ensure any STAT radiology orders were
completed within the recommended 4-6 hour timeframe, and if the physician was notified.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to repair a heat exchanger and maintain the hot
water system in functioning condition to ensure that hot water was provided to the second, third, and fourth
floor shower rooms.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings Include:
R1 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, and lumbar disc
degeneration.
The Facility Incident Report Form dated 1/4/25 documents at 10AM on this day the facility experienced
suboptimal water temperatures. Plumbers were called out to assess the situation and identified the cause
of the problem. Staff and residents were made aware of the situation. The hot water system currently
operational and returned back to normal use. Water temperatures were tested to ensure compliance.
On 1/7/25 at 12:40PM, the surveyor asked V2 (Maintenance Director) to take water temperatures in the
facility. V2 stated that the plumbing company is currently working on cleaning the part so the water tank is
not on so all water temperatures in the facility would be suboptimal. The surveyor notified that water
temperatures would need to be taken at some point during the day. V2 stated V2 first noticed the
temperatures dropping on the water tanks on 1/3/25 and a plumbing contractor was called out immediately.
V2 reported the plumbing company notified V2 there was an issue with the heat exchanger. V2 reported
normal water temperatures in the facility range form 105-109 degrees F. V2 stated the temperature should
stay between 100-110 degrees F for residents. V2 stated scheduled maintenance should be completed
twice a year. V2 reported V2 did not know when the last time scheduled maintenance was completed on the
water heater due to V2 just starting at the facility in October. V2 denied completing scheduled maintenance
on the boiler since starting in October.
On 1/7/25 at 2:57PM, V1 (Assistant Administrator) stated V1 was not sure when maintenance or checks are
supposed to be completed but V2 is responsible for making sure the equipment is in working condition. V1
reported V2 either repairs the equipment or calls out a contractors to make repairs when needed. V1 stated
V1 was notified of the showers not having hot water on 1/4/25. V1 reported the plumbing company was
called out on Friday (1/3/25) to clean the heat exchanger and told the facility 1/4/25 that the part would
need to be replaced.
On 1/7/25 at 3:50PM, V2 took the surveyor into the boiler room. The thermometer on the hot water tank
was 151 degrees Fahrenheit (F). V2 reported this water comers in from the reservoir tank and that tank
stays at 115 degrees F. V2 stated the water from the hot water tanks comes out of that tank and mixes with
the reservoir tank and goes out into the pipes up to the floors at 128 degrees F. V2 reported the plumbing
company took off the heat exchanger and cleaned all the sediment out of the part then replaced new
copper piping which was completed at 3:20PM so the cold water is not fully cleared out of the tanks yet. V2
then took V1 (Assistant Administrator) and the surveyor to the floors to take water temperatures. At 3:53PM,
room [ROOM NUMBER] sink was tested by V2 and was 104 degrees F. V2 then turned on the water of the
third floor north shower room at 3:55PM. V2 let the water run until 4:01PM and then took the temperature.
The temperature of the shower water was 55 degrees F. At 4:03PM, room [ROOM NUMBER] sink was 108
degrees F and the shower in this room was 74 degrees F. V2 then turned on the water of the fourth floor
north shower room at 4:05PM. The temperature of the water

in this shower room at 4:06PM was 68 degrees F. V2 then stated the water in the shower rooms on the
second floor would be a suboptimal temperature as well due to the pipes still having cold water in them
from earlier in the day. V2 reported it would take two to three hours for the water to be running within range
again.
On 1/7/25 at 4:21PM, V9 (Site Manager) stated V9 was notified 1/6/25 that the boiler was not properly
functioning. V9 reported V9 talked to the contractor immediately and the contractors began ordering the
part needed to repair the boiler. V9 said, I have no idea why I was notified yesterday. I don't know why I was
not told about it sooner. V9 stated V9 has the responsibility of approving proposals from the contractors but
V9 needs to be made aware of the issues in the facility and be told by the facility that a proposal is ready to
be reviewed. V9 denied being made aware of the proposal for the broken heat exchanger until 1/6/25. V9
reported V9 should have been made aware of the issues with the boiler as soon as the temperatures were
dropping. V9 stated it is up to the facility to determine how and when maintenance is performed on the
equipment to keep it functioning.
On 1/9/25 at 9:45AM, V2 stated from 1/3/25 to 1/7/25 the plumbing company progressively tried different
methods to get the water temperatures within range, but it ultimately took until 1/7/25 for optimal
temperatures to be maintained. V2 reported the heat exchange part that needs to be replaced is still in
route to the facility and will be put on as soon as it arrives. V2 stated water temperatures were taken every
two hours while V2 was in the facility but V2 only documented the temperatures once a day.
The Service Request dated 1/3/25 documents a service was requested for the water heaters in the
