F 0908 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many one is being found from supplier at this time. The impeller is the wrong size. We also are having an issue with the boiler since the pilot light went out and we cant get the boiler to restart. We will continue until the hot water issue is resolved. On 5/5/25 at 10:37AM V5 stated I was aware that the there was no hot water available to the residents on 4/29 late in the afternoon. The mixing valve for resident hot water started leaking and partially flooded the boiler room where the hot water tanks are located. I notified the administrator. V6 came to the facility and we discovered the hot water mixing valve was not functioning. The impeller inside the unit was corroded due to age of the mixing valve. At this time we ordered a new mixing valve. There was no hot water available for the residents. The hot water boiler pilot light also malfunctioned because the water from the leaking mixing valve put out the pilot light to the boiler. On 5/2/25 we replaced the mixing valve and restarted the boiler. Water temperatures returned to 108F at resident accessible hot water fixtures. On 5/5/25 at 10:45AM V1 (Administrator) stated when V5 notified me of the inadequate hot water I notified staff in the building not to give showers to the residents. I told nursing staff to give bed baths only to the residents and to use wipes for ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care. We do not have a preventative maintenance program that includes the facility plumbing system. Today we have hot water restored and nursing staff may give showers to the residents. Facility hot water monitoring logs V5 uses to record hot water temperatures were reviewed. Log shows that on 4/29/25 AM the resident hot water ranged from 102 to 104 F . (According to V5 the mixing valve failed on 4/29/25 after the facility hot water temperatures were taken for the day) . On 4/30/25 hot water temperatures ranged from 77 to 78F. On 5/1/25 74 to 76F and 5/3/24 84 to 89F. According to V5 the hot water was restored on 5/4/25. Facility policy titled Hot Water Policy states Facility will comply with CMS requirements. Water Temps must be within the 105-120F range not to exceed it. Illinois requires Water Temps to be within 105F-110F in residents rooms, bathrooms and shower rooms.
