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.
Based observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a homelike environment for two
of four sampled residents (Residents 46 and 53) when the door to facility's designated smoking area was
propped open and smoke entered the hallway outside Resident 46 and 53's rooms.
This failure resulted in an unhomelike environment and placed Residents 46 and 53 at risk for exposure to
second-hand smoke (smoke inhaled involuntarily from tobacco being smoked by others).
Findings:
During an interview on 6/04/23, at 8:56 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, facility's
designated smoke area was the patio off the [NAME] Conference Room. The DON further stated, the
facility had two residents (Residents 19 and 22) who smoked on their own time schedule.
During an observation on 6/05/23, at 11:55 a.m., Residents 19 and 22 were out in the designated smoking
area, smoking, with the door propped open. The door had a sign stating NOTICE - Keep this door closed at
all times.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/05/23, at 12:05 p.m., in Resident 46's room, RR 1
stated, they could smell cigarette smoke at that time and Resident 46's respiratory system was bothered by
the smell. RR 1 stated, Resident 46 required a nebulizer treatment (medication turned into a fine mist to be
breathed into the lungs to treat asthma, a lung condition) during evening on 6/4/23 because Resident 46
got wheezy and had hard time breathing. RR 1 stated, the smoking area should be relocated to another
patio and closed Resident 46's door.
During an interview on 6/05/23, at 12:10 p.m., with Resident 53, Resident 53 stated, he smelled the smoke
from the smoking area at that time, and it was very bothersome to him that he had to smell it.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/05/23, at 1:21 p.m., with Certified Nurse Assistant
(CNA) 4, at the patio door, CNA 4 wheeled Resident 19 out to smoking area and propped the door with a
large rock. CNA 4 stated, she felt more comfortable propping the door open when there was only one
resident smoking.
During an observation on 6/06/23, at 11:15 a.m., Resident 19 and Resident 22 were observed smoking on
the patio with the door propped open with a large rock.
During an interview on 6/06/23, at 11:18 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated

smoke got into the facility when the door to smoking area was left open. LVN 1 stated, the smoke in the
hallway put residents at risk for breathing secondhand smoke, which was not healthy and worse than
smoking. LVN 1 stated, the patio was the designated smoking area and although there was no doorbell, the
door was supposed to stay closed until the residents were finished smoking. LVN 1 stated, there was no
smoking allowed inside the facility so the smoke should not come into the building.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of three sampled residents (Resident 20 and
Resident 47) received a Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment used to track resident's status
to plan care in between comprehensive assessments to ensure indicators of gradual changes are
monitored) assessment.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure resulted in Resident 20 and Resident 47 to not receive an assessment for over three months
and placed them at risk for unidentified changes in health status.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 20's undated admission Record, showed Resident 20 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE].
During a concurrent interview and record review with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC 1), on 6/7/23,
at 9:51 a.m., Resident 20's MDS assessments were reviewed in Electronic Health Record (EHR). MDSC 1
stated Resident 20's MDS assessment was not completed since 1/2023. MDSC 1 stated, she was
responsible for completing the MDS assessments. MDSC 1 stated, she had started working on Resident
20's quarterly assessment dated [DATE], however it was not completely done until that day. MDSC 1 stated
assessments should be completed within 14 days from the date of assessment.
During a review of Resident 47's undated admission Record, indicated Resident 47 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE].
During a concurrent interview and record review with MDSC 1, on 6/7/23, at 9:55 a.m., Resident 47's MDS
assessments were reviewed in EHR. MDSC 1 stated Resident 47's quarterly MDS assessment dated
[DATE] was not completed. MDSC 1 stated all residents should be assessed on a quarterly basis.
During an interview on 6/7/23, at 9:58 a.m., MDSC 1 stated missing Resident 20 and 47's quarterly MDS
assessments placed them at risk for missing the changes and decline in their health status.
During a review of facility's undated Policy titled MDS 3.0 completion, the policy showed, 2.e. Quarterly
Assessment- completed using an ARD [assessment reference date] no>92 days from the most recent

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 record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents
(Resident 365) assessed and treated for 2+ pitting edema (swollen part of the body due to excess watery
fluid that gets a dimple or a pit up to four millimeters when it's pressed for a few seconds) on both lower
extremities for a period of seven days.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 365's both legs edema to get worsened and to suffer from related
complications such as Fluid Overload (a medical condition with excessive accumulation of fluids in body's
tissues and organs), Heart Failure (HF- when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently), Deep Vein
Thrombosis (DVT- a blood clot that forms in one of the deep veins in the body, usually in the legs).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 365's undated Profile Face Sheet the record indicated Resident 365 admitted
to the facility on [DATE].
During a review of Resident 365's SNF admission History and Physical (H&P) dated 5/31/23, the H&P
indicated Resident 365 had Dementia (memory loss) and Right leg fracture.
During an observation on 6/4/23, at 8:59 a.m., Resident 365 was sitting in a wheelchair in her room.
Resident 365's both lower extremities were swollen and had skin colored sheer stockings on.
During a follow up observation on 6/7/23, at 8:46 a.m., Resident 365 still had swelling and had skin color
sheer stockings on both lower legs.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/23, at 11:30 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2 in Resident 365's room, while Resident 365 was sitting in a wheelchair, her legs were not elevated
and had skin colored sheer stockings below the knees on both legs. LVN 2 stated, she was the regular
charge nurse for Resident 365. LVN 2 assessed Resident 365's both lower extremities and stated Resident
365's left leg had 1+ edema (up to 2 mm pit) and right leg had 2+ edema (up to 4 mm pit). LVN 2 stated,
she had been noticing edema on Resident 365's both legs since Resident 365's admission to the facility on
5/30/23.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/7/23, at 11:55 a.m., with LVN 2, Resident 365's
electronic health record including nursing progress notes, care plans, physician orders and interdisciplinary
notes from 5/30/23 till 6/7/23 reviewed. LVN 2 stated, even though Resident 365 had edema on both legs
since admission, she was unable to find documentation for an assessment, care plan, treatment orders,
notification to physician and/ responsible party of Resident 365's edema on both legs. LVN 2 stated,
untreated edema placed Resident 365 at risk for worsening of both legs edema.
During an interview on 6/7/23, at 12:12 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, an
unassessed and untreated edema placed Resident 365 at risk for edema related complications including
Fluid Overload, Heart Failure and Deep Vein Thrombosis. The DON stated he expected the licensed nurses
to assess residents, notify the physician and responsible party of any changes in health condition of their
assigned residents.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain safe water temperature for
facility residents when hot water temperature from faucets in 31 of 31 bathrooms in resident rooms, and
one of one resident shower room measured between 134 to 151.5 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The facility
had 26 of 56 residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 16, 18, 19, 22, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38, 42, 43, 47,
50, 52, 53, 58, 313, and 365) who were mobile and able to access bathroom faucets. Facility's residents
and direct care staff were unaware of water boiler (a tank that heats water) malfunction and unsafe water
temperature, even after identifying the issue, for three days.
This failure placed Residents 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 16, 18, 19, 22, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38, 42, 43, 47, 50, 52,
53, 58, 313, and 365 at risk for burns (injury to skin or other tissue caused by heat) up to and including third
degree burns (when all three layers of skin are burned) within two (2) seconds of contact with hot water at
148°F.
Through observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility showed they initiated the plan of action by
turning the hot water heater (a tank that holds and heats water) thermostat down to 120°F; posted
signage on every bathroom door warning of the hot water temperature; instituted checks every 30 minutes
for Residents 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 16, 18, 19, 22, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38, 42, 43, 47, 50, 52, 53, 58, 313,
and 365 identified as mobile and being able to access a faucet; trained staff regarding safety of water
temperatures to prevent scalding residents; and performed temperature checks every two hours on all
faucets accessible to residents until water temperature was 120°F or below.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/05/23, at 12:10 p.m., in the hallway outside Resident
53's room, Resident 53 stated, his bathroom didn't have soap in the soap dispenser. State Agency
Surveyor (Surveyor 1) tested the soap dispenser in the shared bathroom of Resident 53 and 38 (Bathroom
A) and found it to be working when soap dispensed onto Surveyor 1's left hand. Surveyor 1 turned the hot
water faucet on and immediately placed left hand into the water stream. The water was immediately (within
1-2 seconds) too hot to keep Surveyor 1's hand in the water stream to rinse the soap. Surveyor 1 observed
left hand palm to be stinging and red. Surveyor 1 turned on cold water and rinsed the soap off the left hand.
Surveyor 1 requested maintenance come to Bathroom A to evaluate hot water temperature at 12:15 p.m.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/05/23, at 12:55 p.m., with Environmental Services
Supervisor (EVS) 1, in Bathroom A, EVS 1 put his hand under the running hot water and stated it got too
hot too fast. EVS 1 called for a thermometer to test the water temperature.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/05/23, at 1:02 p.m., with EVS 1 and FS1 in Bathroom
A, FS1 tested the hot water temperature. FS1 stated, the hot water temperature was 151.5°F. FS1
then went to the room next door and tested the hot water temperature of Resident 58's bathroom
(Bathroom B) faucet. FS1 stated Bathroom B's hot water temperature was 150.1°F. FS1 stated hot
water temperature should be maintained at and no more than 120°F in facility residents' rooms. FS1
also stated the boilers were old and needed to be replaced. FS1 stated the hot water temperature would be
the same in 31 of 31 bathrooms in resident rooms because the same water line fed all rooms

During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/09/23, at 10:45 a.m., with FS1, in the boiler room, two
large boiler units were positioned near center of one wall. FS1 pointed to a blue box on each unit and
stated they must be the thermostat for the boilers.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/09/23, at 10:52 a.m., with Executive Director (ED) and
FS1, in the boiler room, ED stated the boilers constantly alternated to prevent wear on a single boiler so
neither boiler is designated as back up. ED then pointed to the thermostat on the water heater opposite the
boilers and stated the thermostat was replaced after the water temperature issue was identified on 6/5/23.
During a review of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services State Operations Manual (SOM) Appendix PP, revised 2/03/23, the SOM indicated many residents in long-term care facilities have
conditions that may put them at increased risk for burns caused by scalding (a burn resulting from heated
fluids). SOM Table 1 indicated safe bathing temperature was 100°F. The SOM also indicated two (2)
seconds was the time required for a third degree burn at 148°F.

stated, Resident 8 could have been on weekly weight monitoring and a fortified diet (more nutrients added
to the diet) with additional 600 calories to ensure no more further weight loss specially because Resident 8
had a history of weight fluctuations; however it was not done since 5/7/23. RD 1 also stated Resident 8's
physician and the responsible party should have been made aware of Resident 8's significant loss.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/7/23, at 3:20 p.m., Resident 8's Quarterly Nutritional
