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** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three residents (Resident #1)
received adequate supervision and that the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as
is possible, in that:
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was served coffee at a safe temperature which resulted in a burn to
her left hand.
The facility failed to ensure a temperature log was kept to document temperatures of coffee prior to
distribution and service to residents.
An immediate jeopardy of past non-compliance was identified on 11/13/2024 at 1:30PM. The IJ template
was provided to the facility Administrator on 11/13/2024 at 2:50PM. The Immediate Jeopardy was
determined to have existed from 10/20/24 to 10/22/2024 due to the facility's implemented actions that
corrected the non-compliance prior to survey entry.
This failure injured Resident #1 and placed other resident at risk of injury, burns, pain, anxiety, and a
decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted into the
facility on [DATE] and was diagnosed with dementia (decline in mental ability), schizoaffective disorder
(chronic mental illness involving delusions and hallucinations), muscle wasting atrophy (muscle mass
decrease), and spastic hemiplegia (type of cerebral palsy causing muscle tightness and paralysis) affecting
left dominant side.
Record review of Resident #1's MDS assessment, dated 09/11/2024, reflected the resident had a BIMS
score of 11 indicating moderate cognitive impairment. It also reflected the resident's ability to ambulate by
manual wheelchair and her need for supervision or touching assistance for eating.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 07/09/2022, revealed the resident had an ADL self-care
performance deficit and needed set-up help and supervision while eating.

colored skin. The Wound Physician noted there was, . no indication of pain associated with this condition .
and the wound had . improved evidenced by decreased surface area . The treatment plan included silver
sulfadiazine once daily for 27 days and gauze roll once daily for 30 days.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 10/21/2024, reflected resident had burn to left hand from
spilled hot coffee measuring 6 cm x 7.5 cm x 0.1 cm and the goal was to have resident's skin concern heal
without complications over the next 90 days with interventions, including treatments, pain, medication, and
monitoring for skin breakdown.
Interview and observation of Resident #1, on 10/29/2024 at 3:25PM, revealed the resident was lying in bed
with bandages wrapped around her left hand. The resident stated she had the bandages because she was
burned by hot coffee, but was no longer in pain at that time.
In a phone interview with [NAME] A on 10/30/2024 at 2:49 PM, he stated Resident #1 often came to the
kitchen to request for coffee and he gave it to her every time she asked. He stated she was the only
resident to do so. He stated he was taught to give coffee to residents with a lid on the coffee mug. He stated
he never checked coffee temperatures prior to serving the coffee. He stated on 10/20/2024, Resident #1
requested for coffee beyond their breakfast time, so he made a fresh batch of coffee for her, poured in the
cup and put a lid on it prior to handing it to her. He said at that moment, Resident #1 wanted to drink her
coffee right then and there. He observed her remove the lid immediately, and a result, she spilled some of
the coffee on herself. He stated he did not see the risk of serving her coffee then because the cup had a lid
on it. He stated he did not know the resident burned herself until after he was told by the nurse shortly after
the incident. [NAME] A stated the Dietary Manager did not train him on the specifics of temping and serving
coffee until after the incident.

[NAME] A who was recently hired back onto the team, were aware of Resident #1's behaviors of asking for
coffee throughout the day, including beating on the kitchen door to request for coffee. He said, prior to
[NAME] A being hired, he verbally trained his staff to not give her coffee unless a nurse was present with
her at the time of the request due to how disruptive it was to their meal service process and because of
Resident #1's habit of immediately pouring the coffee from the facility cup to her personal steel cup. He
stated he never did an in-service related to temping coffee because they never had an incident before that
would necessitate it. The Dietary Manager said he did not see a risk because they thought the way they
were distributing coffee was okay. He also said that they had lids in inventory. He stated that temperatures
come out of the brewer around 145 degrees

safety
In an interview with the Regional Nurse Consultant on 10/31/2024 at 1:00 PM, she stated the kitchen staff
should have kept a log of the temperature of the coffee prior to serving it because after the incident, there
was no way to verify just how hot that coffee was to have caused Resident #1 to burn herself with it.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview with the Administrator on 11/01/2024 at 11:07 AM, she stated after looking into the incident,
she believed the kitchen staff skipped steps, such as temping or cooling off the coffee prior to serving. The
mistake resulted in Resident #1 getting burned, She pulled all the information on the case, talked with the
dietitian, and helped setup and an in-service for all the staff.
Record review of the facility's policy on Safety of Hot Liquids, dated 2018, reflected, . 1. The potential for
burns from hot liquids is considered an ongoing concern among residents with weakened motor skills,
balance issues, impaired cognition, and nerve or musculoskeletal conditions. 2. Residents with these or
other conditions may suffer from accidental burns and related complications stemming from thinner, more
fragile skin that may burn quickly and severely and take longer to heal. 3. Residents who prefer hot
beverages with meals (i.e., coffee, tea, soups, etc.) will not be restricted from these options. Instead, staff
will conduct regular Hot Liquids Safety Evaluations and update plan of care as applicable. 4. Once risk
factors for injury from hot liquids are identified, appropriate interventions will be implemented to minimize
the risk from burns. Such interventions may include:
1. Maintaining a hot liquids serving temperature of not more than 140 degrees Fahrenheit; 2. Serving hot
beverages in a cup with a lid; 3. Encouraging residents to sit at a table while drinking or eating hot liquids; 4.
Providing protective lap covering or clothing to protect skin from accidental spills; and 5. Staff supervision or
assistance with hot beverages .

all dietary staff detailing hot liquids were to be served between 135 degrees and 140 degrees and were to
be served to residents only by clinical staff and not directly from the kitchen. It also reflected, . If a resident
comes to the kitchen asking for coffee, they need to be redirected back to the appropriate nursing station
for assistance . Coffee will be randomly tested for temperature before being given to staff.
Record review of coffee temperature log, date ranging from 10/21/2024 - 10/30/2024, revealed the coffee
temperature was being recorded daily once brewed and at meal service time, the coffee temperature was
documented at 140 degrees each day.
In an interview with Dietary Aide A, Dietary Aide B, and [NAME] on 10/30/2024 at 9:22 AM, they all stated
that they were trained on hot liquids safety and knew not to hand coffee directly to residents without a nurse
present. They also unanimously stated they were to document the temperature of the coffee once brewed
and hand over the coffee to nursing staff once cooled down to 140 degrees prior to serving.
In a phone interview with [NAME] A, on 10/30/2024 at 2:49 PM, he stated he was trained to no longer give
resident's coffee, and to make sure nursing staff was present to distribute coffee to residents. He also
