F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and policy review the facility failed to maintain water temperatures in a manner to ensure residents were provided sufficient and comfortable hot water for use with bathing/personal hygiene. This affected four residents (#32, #42, #56, and #63) of fifteen residents interviewed. Residents Affected - Some Findings included: Interview on 12/18/24 at 2:53 P.M., with Resident #32 and Resident #42 revealed the hot water in their sink was hit and miss especially the last two weeks. The residents reported the water had been so cold staff has had to go to the shower room to obtain hot water to ensure they received warm water to take their bed baths. Interview on 12/18/24 at 3:53 P.M., with Maintenance Director (MD) revealed he had started two weeks ago, and hot water temperatures had been an issue since he started. The MD reported one of the three hot water tanks was not working because it needed a new thermostat control unit. The MD reported he didn't know which hot water tank serviced which part of the building. The MD reported he randomly checked water temperatures in the resident rooms; however, he doesn't document the results. The water temperatures in residents' rooms had been running between 98-117 degrees. The hot water tanks were located at the end of 200 hall near the center of the building near the nurse's station. The MD reported the hot water tanks do not have temperatures on the dial, so he has to guess and adjust the dials to find a temperature between 105-120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) The MD confirmed the facility did not have an action plan for the low hot water temperatures at this time. Random observation of resident water temperatures on 12/18/24 beginning at 3:53 P.M., with Maintenance Director (MD) revealed Resident #32 and Resident #42's water temperature, after running for an extended period of time, finally reached 107.7 F. In addition, the water temperature in room [ROOM NUMBER] (at the end room of Unit 2) reached 105.9 F but not until the water ran for six minutes (3:58 PM to 4:04 PM). The hot water faucet was leaking, and water was streaming down into the sink in room [ROOM NUMBER]. An interview with Resident #56 revealed his room hadn't had hot water and staff went to the shower room to get hot water last night for his bed bath. Observation of Unit 3 room [ROOM NUMBER] (close to the end of the hall) revealed the hot water had very little water pressure. The water ran six minutes (4:07 PM to 4:13 PM) and the water temperature only reached 76.8 F. During the observations on Unit 3, Resident #63 reported she had not had hot water for a long time now and the water never gets hot. In room [ROOM NUMBER] (close to the nurse's station) the water ran from 4:15 P.M. to 4:19 P.M. and the water temperature only reached 100.0 F. Observation of Unit 4 room [ROOM NUMBER] (located at the end of hall) revealed the hot water (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 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm temperature reached 93.2 F after the water ran from 4:21 P.M. to 4:26 P.M. In room [ROOM NUMBER] (close to the nurse's station) the water ran from 4:22 P.M. to 4:33 P.M. but only reached 92.8 F. The MD obtained all the above temperatures using the facility's digital thermometer in the presence of the surveyor and confirmed the water temperatures at the time of the observations. Residents Affected - Some Interview on 12/18/24 at 5:05 P.M., with the Administrator revealed the facility did not have an action plan to correct the identified low hot water temperatures. The facility had already replaced one hot water tank and a mixing valve.

LPN #155 confirmed the nurse practitioners were supposed to enter their own orders directly in the residents' electronic medical record, however there had been some glitches in the system preventing them from doing so. LPN #155 stated she had been entering the wound nurse practitioners' orders. LPN #155 confirmed the discrepancies in which phone was used and confirmed she was not aware of the discrepancy until questioned by the surveyor. LPN #155 stated she completed Resident #73's wound assessment on 10/31/24, when Visiting Wound NP #303 was not present in the facility, however she confirmed she did not document her assessment in the resident's medical record. Interview on 12/17/24 at 11:11 A.M. with Visiting Wound NP #303 revealed she was unaware Resident #73 did not receive her treatment as ordered because she did not have access to the resident's medical record. Visiting Wound NP #303 confirmed she could not enter her own orders or review everything in the resident's electronic medical record. She confirmed she was able to input her assessment into the electronic medical record. An interview on 12/18/24 at 10:48 A.M. with the Administrator and Corporate Nurse #300 confirmed wounds were followed weekly by a visiting wound nurse practitioner who had access to the residents' electronic medical records to enter her assessments. Visiting wound nurse practitioners were supposed to be entering their own orders. They had reached out to Visiting Wound NP #303 and she had typed up an unsigned statement indicating her documentation was inaccurate and contained discrepancies with the type of foam to be used. The unsigned statement stated to follow orders as written in the electronic medical record. An interview on 12/119/24 at 11:53 A.M. with Former NP #301 revealed she did not actively follow Resident #73's wounds, as the facility had a separate wound nurse practitioner who followed and monitored the residents with wounds.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, policy review, and interview the facility failed to maintain hot water temperatures in a safe manner to prevent potential accident/resident burns. This affected two (Residents #14 and #51) of 13 residents whose water temperatures were obtained. Findings include: On 12/18/24 from 4:34 P.M. to 4:36 P.M. observation of the water temperature in Residents' #14 and #51 room revealed the water temperature was 123.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The residents in the rooms were not available for an interview. The Maintenance Director (MD) obtained the water temperature using the facility's digital thermometer in the presence of the surveyor and confirmed the water temperature during observation. Review of the facility undated policy and procedure for water temperatures revealed hot water temperatures meet regulatory requirements in Ohio of 105-120 (F). The policy and procedure did not include a procedure if water temperatures didn't meet regulatory requirements. Interview on 12/18/24 at 5:05 P.M., with the Administrator revealed the facility did not have an action plan for when water temperatures feel outside of acceptable parameters. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) guidance related to water temperatures as an accident hazard includes: Water may reach hazardous temperatures in hand sinks, showers, tubs, and any other source or location where hot water is accessible to a resident. Burns related to hot water/liquids may also be due to spills and/or immersion. Many residents in long-term care facilities have conditions that may put them at increased risk for burns caused by scalding. These conditions include: decreased skin thickness, decreased skin sensitivity, peripheral neuropathy, decreased agility (reduced reaction time), decreased cognition or dementia, decreased mobility, and decreased ability to communicate. The degree of injury depends on factors including the water temperature, the amount of skin exposed, and the duration of exposure. Some States have regulations regarding allowable maximum water temperature. Table 1 illustrates damage to skin in relation to the temperature of the water and the length of time of exposure. Time and Temperature Relationship to Serious Burns reveals at 120 degrees F the time required for a third degree burn in occur is five minutes. At 124 degrees F the time required for a third degree burn to occur is three minutes.
