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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to maintain a comfortable environment for one of
35 residents (Resident 12) when the room temperature, measured by the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) thermometer, in Resident 12 ' s room was 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
This failure had the potential to result in dehydration (body does not have enough fluids) and heat
exhaustion (body overheats and unable to cool itself) for Resident 12.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/24 at 11:59 p.m. with the unit clerk (UC), the
temperature in Resident 12 ' s room was observed. The temperature with the CDPH handheld thermometer
read 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit clerk was observed checking the temperature of Resident 12 ' s room
with the facility ' s handheld thermometer, the temperature was observed at 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The UC
stated Resident 12 ' s room felt hot and hot air was being transferred into the room through the air
conditioner vent. The UC stated the temperature range should have been 71-81 degrees.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/24 at 12:00 p.m. with Resident 12, Resident 12 ' s
room appeared humid and hot, Resident 12 was observed lying in bed covered in a bed sheet and wearing
a gown. A floor fan was observed at the corner of the room turned off. Resident 12 stated her room felt hot
but did not want the floor fan turned on. Resident 12 stated she did not want an ice pack, floor fan, popsicle
or to remove her bed sheet. Resident 12 stated she would have preferred for the facility to fix the AC unit
rather than change her comfortability.
During a review of Resident 12's admission Record (a summary of information regarding a patient which
includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact
information and other pertinent information), the AR indicated Resident 12 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnosis for chronic pain syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (inflammation of the joints), lupus
(illness that attacks the immune system), anxiety (feeling of worry, unease and nervous) and fibromyalgia
(disorder that causes pain in the muscles).
During a review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment tool used to identify
cognitive (mental processes) and physical functional level assessment] dated 5/2/24, the MDS indicated,
Resident 12's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS screening tool used to assess resident cognitive
level) score was 15 out of 15 (0 - 7 indicated severe cognitive impairment [memory loss, poor decision
making skills] 8 12 moderate cognitive impairment, (13 -15) cognitively intact) which indicated Resident 1
was cognitively intact.
