* An air fryer (countertop appliance used to cook food) and Keurig coffee machine were observed in Resident 4's room. This failure had the potential for the equipment to not function in the way it was intended and exposed to potential fire hazards.
Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Electrical Appliance revised January 2019 showed the following: 1. Residents may not maintain any electrical appliance (i.e., heating irons, cooking utensils, etc ) within their living areas unless approved by the administrator or his/her designee. 2. Should the electrical appliances be permitted, each must be in good working order, free of frayed cords, and UL approved. On 5/7/25 at 0747 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, an air fryer was observed on the bedside table close to the patio door in Room A. On 5/7/25 at 1115 hours, a follow-up observation of Room A and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 2 and Resident 4. An air fryer and a Keurig coffee machine were observed in Room A. LVN 2 verified the findings and stated the two items above belong to Resident 4. LVN 2 stated the facility staff heated up the food for Resident 4 and made coffee for the resident. Resident 4 stated he used the air fryer to heat up his food like French fries and grilled cheese and liked to drink his own coffee which the facility staff made for him. On 5/7/25 at 1150 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. When asked if he used the air fryer to heat up the food and/or make coffee for Resident 4 using the Keurig coffee machine, CNA 1 stated no, and Resident 4 had never asked to. CNA 1 stated he did not receive any training or in-service from the facility on how to use the air fryer or Keurig coffee machine. On 5/7/25 at 1215 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with LVN 2. When asked when Resident 4 had gotten the air fryer and coffee machine, LVN 2 stated the two appliances had already been in the resident's room before he started working in the facility. LVN 2 stated he did not receive any training or in-service from the facility on how to use the air fryer or Keurig coffee machine. LVN 2 stated he did not know the food temperatures when the food was heated up. On 5/7/25 at 1242 hours, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director.

Director stated he did not see the appliances in the resident's room. When asked how he checked the electrical equipment, the Maintenance Director stated he used the electric tester to test the outlets to make sure they were compatible. The Maintenance Director stated if there was too much equipment plugged in, it might cause the electrical overload and potential for fire hazards. On 5/7/25 at 1600 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON and Administrator. The DON and Administrator were informed of the above findings and stated Resident 4 had his own TV, radio, air fryer, and coffee machine before they started working in the facility. The DON and Administrator further stated Resident 4 stayed in his room, so the facility tried to provide him with a home environment in his room. The DON and Administrator acknowledged the facility did not provide any in-service or training for the facility staff regarding the safe use and maintenance of the appliances in Resident 4's room.
