The facility failed to ensure Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29) had a warm and comfortable environment on 2/18/2025-2/27/2025 when the local weather temperatures were as low as 21 and the inside facility temperatures were as low as 51 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The facility temperatures affected all three hallways of the facility, the common living room area, and all rooms on the 300-hallway.

In addition, the motor on the 100-hallway heater had not been operational affecting the hallways for an unknown period of time. This failure resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 2/21/2025 at 8:52 p.m. The IJ template was provided to the facility on 2/21/2025 at 8:52 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 2/28/2025 the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because the facility needed to monitor the implementation of the plan of removal. 2. The facility failed to ensure a hole in the ceiling of Resident #3 and #26's room was repaired in a timely manner. 3. The facility failed to ensure the cord to Resident #30's room over bed light cord was repaired timely. 4. The facility failed to ensure the toilet in Resident #20's room was repaired timely.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 2:50 p.m., the heater repairman stated he had a small company with a few employees. He stated he had been working for the building for 10 years. He stated the facility had changed management several times and he does not always work with the same people. He stated approximately 5 months ago, he was called for various problems and resulted in him working on the heaters on the 200-hallway. He stated at that time the boiler was not working, then the igniter was not working and then he was called and worked on the pressure switches. He stated one of the problems with the heaters in the facility was the heaters originally had 3 speed motors. When they went out, the facility replaced them with 1 speed motors. He stated that meant that the heater which was meant to work on low-medium and high would only operate on low. He stated the facility would turn the switches to high and then complain that the heater was not working. He stated the facility needed to keep the thermostats on low for them to work. The repairman stated what needed to happen was for each thermostat in each room to be replaced or they need to block and mark the thermostat so it could not be adjusted or moved. He stated each room also had two valves that adjusted the water in the pipes that heated the rooms. He stated the valves were broken and stuck. He stated all valves needed to be manually opened. He stated this would have to be done anytime the ac/heater was switched from ac to heat or heat to ac because they were broken. He stated they were designed to automatically open and close. The repairman stated two weeks ago the facility asked him to work on the 300 hallways. He stated they had two options. They could replace the chiller/heater which was over [AGE] years old, or they could place a mini-split in each room. He stated there was a motor broken on the 300 hallway and he had not yet ordered the part. The repairman stated the chiller system was complicated and sometimes people do not know how to properly operate them. He stated the chiller motor went down at least two weeks ago. When asked for a date that he responded to the facility for the 300 motors being down, he stated he was in the facility between 1/16/2025-1/22/2025 and the facility was notified that it the motor was out and needed to be replaced at that time. He stated he asked them at that time what they wanted to do. He stated he had not been given any direction on how they wanted to proceed. He stated he was not called to look at the 200-hallway heater until 2/21/2025 (date of surveyor arrival). During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 3:44 p.m., the Maintenance Director stated he was new to the facility as of late September 2024. He stated when he came to the facility, he had heard there were issues with citations related to the heater from the previous year. He stated he came to the facility with the idea of fixing things. He stated he talked to the owner about mini-splits for the whole facility. He stated they talked about installing them in section. He stated when he first came the 100-hallway was the worst, so mini-splits were put in that section of the building. He stated the owner wanted to wait a while to see how well the mini-splits worked and how they held up. The Maintenance Director stated he did not have an answer to when he first became aware of heating issues. He stated the facility had issues on both the 300 and 200 hallways. He stated he went down to the 200-hallway to some rooms where there were complaints. He stated he then called the repairman, and they cleaned out some of the lines and he called about the water softeners. He stated no one told him the 300-hallway was cold. He stated none of the staff told him. He stated a resident approached him and told him they were cold. He stated he did not know who the resident was. During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 4:24 p.m. LVN D stated the building had issues with the cold since it started getting cold in the city in November.
