Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
THIS IS AN INCIDENCE OF PAST NON COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED
PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on record review, staff interviews, observation, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure portable
space heaters were not utilized in resident rooms in when the facility Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system malfunctioned causing the temperatures in House 150 to drop. This affected
five (Rooms #106, #107, #108, #109, and #110) of 12 resident rooms in House 150. The facility has five
separate houses.
Findings include:
During an interview on 05/06/25 at 9:04 A.M., MC #404 found that the heat malfunctioned in a section of
House 150 on or about 04/17/25. MC #404 stated he was not sure when the heat malfunctioned. The
affected resident rooms were Rooms #106, #107, #108, #109, and #110. MC #404 stated that he was
unable to fix the heat immediately and portable space heaters were placed in resident Rooms #106, #107,
#108, and #110. MC #404 stated that he did not know where the portable space heaters came from, who
placed them in the resident rooms, or what happened to the space heaters. MC #404 stated that he did
take temperatures of the rooms while the heat was out but did not have any documentation and that the
lowest temperature, he could remember was 67 degrees F. MC #404 was not sure in which room he noted
that temperature.
During an interview on 05/06/25 at 9:28 A.M., MND #555 stated the heat went out on 04/16/25 resulting
from a bad gas valve in House #150. MND #555 stated that the heat was fixed on 04/22/25 by the facility ' s
heating contractor.
Review of the facility policy titled Loss of Heat from emergency preparedness, dated 10/29/2017, revealed
the policy was to provide comfortable and safe temperature levels. The temperature throughout this facility
shall be maintained at between 71-81 degrees to avoid potential negative impact degrees. Any temperature
outside of this rage requires specific interventions to avoid potential negative impact on the residents'
well-being. Should the air conditioning or heating system fail, specific monitoring and safety measures
should be activated. Environmental temperatures are monitored by staff.
Review of the facility policy titled Space Heaters dated 05/05/25 revealed that life safety code by the
National Fire Protection Association generally prohibits the use of portable space heaters in healthcare
occupancies such as nursing homes. According to the NFPA 101 portable space heaters are not allowed in
any residents' sleeping room or compartments. Portable space heaters can overload a facility's electrical
system. In addition, space heaters can become a tripping hazard or be covered

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Residents Affected - Some
Based on record review, observation, staff and physician interview, review of hospital records, and policy
review, the facility failed to ensure the residents environment remained as free from accident hazards as
possible when the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system malfunctioned causing the
temperatures in House 150 to drop, and portable space heaters were placed in four resident rooms, which
were prohibited. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and serious life-threatening physical harm and/or
injuries when on 04/17/25, Resident #47 sustained a full thickness burn to the left outer calf from below the
knee to the top of the left foot. Resident #47 was sent to the hospital to be evaluated on 04/25/25 and
required hospitalization due to the severe burns that developed faecalis and Enterococcus (E.) faecium
infection in the wounds. This affected one (Resident #47) of four residents reviewed for accident hazards
and placed an additional three residents (#04, #49 and #51) at risk for potential serious physical harm
and/or injuries who had space heaters placed in their rooms in House 150.
On 05/07/25 at 3:35 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Clinical Regional Nurse (CRN)
#399, Regional Administrator (RA) #477, and Maintenance Neighborhood Director (MND) #555 were
notified the Immediate Jeopardy began on 04/17/25 at 3:00 P.M. when Resident #47 sustained severe
burns to his left leg from below his knee outer to the top of his left foot as a result of the use of a portable
space heater in the resident's room. A treatment of Silvadene (a topical antibiotic used in partial thickness
and full thickness burns was used to prevent infection) was implemented on 04/18/25 when Wound
Physician (WP) #449 saw and examined Resident #47. Resident #47 was seen again on 04/25/25 by WP
#449 and Wound Nurse (WN) #509 who had noticed the change in the left leg, and the left foot had three
black toes from the middle toe to pinkie toe. WP #449 recommend that Resident #47 go to the emergency
room to be evaluated. Resident #47 was admitted to a hospital Intensive Care Step Down Unit with burns to
left leg and foot, urinary tract infection, and pneumonia in both lungs. Resident #47 was started on
intravenous antibiotics immediately due to infection, cellulitis, and burns. Resident #47 was discharged from
the hospital to another nursing home on [DATE]. Resident #47 was currently being treated at the burn unit
clinic at the hospital as an outpatient.
Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 04/17/25 when WN #509 removed the portable space
heaters from the rooms of Residents #04, #47, #49 and #51, the deficiency remained at Severity Level 2
(no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) until it was
corrected on 05/04/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:
•
On 04/18/25, the Administrator began educating all employees that space heaters are not permitted in
resident rooms, and if found, to notify the Administrator as soon as possible. All immediate education was
given in person to employees working at the time during second shift 04/18/25, including
Leadership/Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) employees with messages and/or calls going out to others. All
employees were notified by the Administrator that they must complete and acknowledge education as soon
as possible, but that it was mandatory before the next shift worked.
