The facility would specify protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures and document the results of testing and corrective actions taken when control limits are not maintained. Further review of the facility Legionella risk management documentation revealed no flow sheet indicating potential risk areas in the facility. The facility indicated their water temperatures were normally above or below the temperature Legionella grows best (77 to 108 degrees) and stated temperature checks were periodically taken to verify temperature. The risk management documentation also indicated Legionella growth may be affected by water laying dormant in lines and changing temperature due to low census and short term shutdown of resident room wings or corridors. Any time a wing is unoccupied and then readied for reoccupation, special care will be given to the hot and cold water systems in the affected rooms, including flushing lines and monitoring water temperatures prior to reoccupancy. Interview with Maintenance Director #200 on [DATE] at 3:32 P.M. verified the facility did not have a flowsheet indicating what areas of concern should be monitored. He verified the facility had not implemented control measures to monitor for legionella and other waterborne illnesses other than the monitoring of temperatures in resident rooms for temperatures within the required 105-120 degrees. He stated the facility did not have a water management team established. He verified the facility had rooms that were not in use and eyewash stations and an ice machine that could be potential risk areas. He had no documentation of control measures for these areas.
