F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, resident and staff interviews, and information provided by the facility it was determined the facility failed to ensure that essential heating equipment was maintained in safe and functional operating condition affecting at least five resident rooms out of 40 resident rooms in the facility (room [ROOM NUMBER], 105, 107, 108 and 210) and failed to maintain resident care equipment, tubs and showers, in operating condition on one of two floors (first floor). Residents Affected - Many Findings include: A review of weather temperatures for the facility's locality revealed that the outdoor temperatures were at a high of 14 degrees Fahrenheit on January 20, 2024. Interview with the facility's Maintenance Director during the survey of January 24, 2024, revealed that the facility's boiler went down on January 20, 2024, resulting in a lack of heat in five resident rooms in the building. The Maintenance Director stated the boiler has an automatic water feed that malfunctioned on that date. He stated when he arrived at the facility on Saturday January 20, 2024, just after 8:00 AM, after receiving a call from the nursing supervisor around 7:00 AM that morning, he observed the boiler had low water pressure. He had to refill and purge the system to get the heat functioning. He determined that Rooms 101, 105, 107, 108 and 210 were without heat. After that determination, he stated he had to warm up the individual PTAC (PTAC self-contained heating and air conditioning unit) systems in those rooms to restart the heat. He stated he did utilize portable space heaters in the resident rooms to warm up the PTAC units. (The Life Safety Code prohibits the use of portable electrical space heaters in resident areas). The surveyor asked the Maintenance Director if any preventative maintenance had been provided to the boiler in anticipation of the forecasted weather of extreme cold over that weekend of January 20, 2024. The Maintenance Director stated that the system did not need any preventative maintenance because it was a new boiler. Observation of the boiler on January 24, 2024, at approximately 10:30 AM revealed that the unit had an automatic water feeder (an automatic water feed valve reduces the incoming water pressure from the building supply side down to (typically) 12 psi (pound per square inch) and the water feed valve adds water to the boiler when needed: If water pressure in the heating boiler drops below 12 psi, the water feeder valve will add make-up water to the system automatically, until it reaches 12 psi inside the boiler). During the observation the water pressure was noted as 20 psi. The Maintenance Director stated that the problem on Saturday January 20, 2024, was just a malfunction of the valve and nothing could have been done to prevent it. The maintenance director had informed the surveyor that the boiler was new. The surveyor asked if he had contacted company about the malfunctioning valve on the newly purchased boiler. He then stated that he did not contact the company to repair the valve on the new boiler, because the automatic feed valve was not new, it was from the facility's old system and a reused part. The Maintenance Director stated he fixed it himself, as he was a plumber by trade. The facility provided an invoice for the boiler indicating that on November 30, 2023, new cast iron sections wer installed to the existing boiler at the facility.

F 0908 existing old boiler and replaced. The whole system was not replaced. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The Maintenance Director referenced the user manual for the facility boiler, which when reviewed during the survey ending January 24, 2024, indicated the following: Residents Affected - Many GENERAL MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS 1. Keep radiators and convectors clean. 2. If a hot water radiator is hot at the bottom but not at the top, it indicates that air has accumulated inside and should be vented. To vent radiator, hold small cup under air vent (located near top of radiator), open vent until water escapes and then close. 3. If much water is added to system, it is advisable to heat system to a high temperature and vent again. This will make less venting necessary during the winter. 4. Where an expansion tank is used, make sure that neither the tank nor its drainpipe is exposed to freezing temperatures. Never place valves in piping leading to or from expansion tank. 5. Boiler and system cleaning will help assure trouble free operation. See Section IV - Operating Instructions, Paragraphs F or G for procedure. A. GENERAL - Inspection should be conducted annually. Service as frequently as specified in paragraphs below. While service or maintenance is being done, electrical power to the boiler must be off. INSPECT VENT PIPING and combustion air openings monthly to ensure they are unobstructed and free from leakage and deterioration. Also verify vent terminal is unobstructed. INSPECT CONDENSATE DRAIN SYSTEM monthly to verify it is water-tight and unobstructed. The Maintenance Director and corporate consultant stated during interview on January 24, 2024, at approximately 2:45 PM that the boiler only required a yearly inspection. The facility did not perform any preventative maintenance prior to the anticipated extreme cold forecasted nor was the facility able to provide documented evidence of its preventative maintenance. A review of a worksheet provided during the survey ending January 24, 2024, entitled Environmental Temperature Rounds revealed that the last entry on the sheet indicating that temperatures were obtained in resident rooms, was dated January 17, 2024, in resident Rooms 216 (76 degrees Farenheit) and 116 (74 degrees Farenheit).
