These failures have the potential to affect all 144 residents living in the facility. Findings include: On 1/7/2025 at 09:09 AM, V3 (Maintenance Director) stated, The boiler control system got wet last Friday (01/03/2025) that caused the problem with the heating equipment of the facility.

V3 handed a receipt from V9, dated 01/05/2025, stating: Front East Side too cold. Checked heating zones and functional. Checked boilers and reset thermostats. Rechecked cold areas and all heat on. V3 stated, The facility heating system has three steam boilers. One of the boilers control got burned because of the drip on it.

V3 stated from now on he will start to organize all necessary procedures, including temperature taking in areas of the facility. V3 was asked when was the last time V9 (Heating and Cooling Repair Company) came to maintain facility's heating system,and does V9 has a schedule to check or maintain heating equipment of the facility on a periodic basis? V3 replied, That is one of the problems since the old maintenance director there was no record of facility's heating system being checked or maintained. When asked if it will help when there is a scheduled maintenance on heating equipment to prevent possible problem? V3 replied, Oh yes, it will help if the facility has yearly maintenance checks. On 01/07/2025 at 10:08 AM, in the area where heating system was located, there were three large boilers. All three boilers have rust on many areas and dirt wa present all over the room. Upon looking up at the ceiling, multiple areas of liquid was dripping on the floor and onto the boilers. The middle boiler had the most liquid dripping directly. V3 stated, The [NAME] roof-like thing and plastic covers the plastic control circuits. Because that was the reason why one of the boilers broke when (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.
