2nd/3rd degree burns on her right leg.The facility failed to have appropriate interventions in place to ensure
hot water was tested for safe temperatures before being served to residents.These failures resulted in an
Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation on 10/22/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at
6:53PM. While the IJ was removed on 10/23/2025, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of
pattern and a severity level of potential harm with the potential for more than minimal harm that is not an
Immediate Jeopardy, due to facility's need of more time to monitor the plan of removal for
effectiveness.These failures could place residents at risk of physical harm.Record review of Resident #1's
face sheet, dated 10/21/2025 reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of anxiety disorder (feeling of worry, fear), Proteus mirabilis (bacterial infection), rheumatoid

machine, LVN C stated she could not answer that question and did not know the process or who provided
oversight to ensure the water temperature was safe for serving to residents. LVN C stated that if she
obtained hot liquid from the kitchen and observed steam, she would not serve it to a resident. When asked
what potential harm could occur if a resident were given a liquid that was too hot, LVN C stated that the
resident could suffer a natural burn.In an interview conducted with the Nutritional Director on 10/22/2025 at
1:06 PM,. the Nutritional Director stated the dietary department is only responsible for replenishing supplies
in the cafe coffee room. He explained that clinical and nursing staff are responsible for monitoring that area,
and dietary staff were never assigned that responsibility. He further stated that residents had free access to
the cafe coffee room and may enter the area at any time. The Nutritional Director reported that he was not
aware of any incidents where a resident burned themselves in that area and did not know of anyone
specifically designated to monitor the water temperature in the coffee machine. He explained that the
dietary department checks hydration station temperatures in the dining areas each morning but not in the
cafe coffee room. When asked about potential harm, he acknowledged that burns could occur if liquid
temperatures are too hot, comparing it to someone spilling hot coffee on themselves, like at fast food
restaurant. He added that some residents prefer their beverages to be hot. In an interview conducted with
the DON on 10/22/2025 at 1:35 PM, the DON stated that nursing staff are responsible for monitoring the
cafe coffee station area. She explained that the coffee station is provided so residents can enjoy coffee and
tea at their leisure. The DON stated that some residents typically wait for their liquids to cool before drinking
them, while some independent residents prefer to take their drinks back to their rooms. The DON reported
that she had not received any reports of residents sustaining burns from the coffee area. The DON stated
she did not know who services or maintains the coffee machine located in that area. When asked about
residents with cognitive impairment accessing the coffee room, the DON responded that if staff observed
such residents entering the area, they are expected to intervene to ensure safety. The DON further stated
that CNAs should notify a nurse to check the temperature of the hot water if there are any concerns. She
said nurses could retrieve the thermometer from the kitchen for that purpose. When asked about the
potential harm that could occur if water temperatures are not checked, the DON stated that a resident could
sustain a burn if hot liquid were spilled.In an interview conducted with RN Treatment Nurse (TN) on
10/22/2025 at 1:45 PM, TN stated she had not worked at the facility for over two months. When asked if she
remembered providing wound care for a resident with a burn in April 2025, she stated that she did recall the
incident but could not recall specific details. The TN stated that if surveyors required specific information,
they should review her nursing notes in the resident's chart. When asked if the wound had been staged or
documented as a burn, the TN responded that it was but clarified that the chart and the wound care
physician's notes would reflect the exact classification and treatment provided. She stated that the chart
should indicate what treatment was performed and how the physician documented the wound. The TN
added that the wound had resolved and healed, and that her main concern at the time was ensuring the
wound healed properly.In an interview conducted with CNA K on 10/22/2025 at 5:50 PM, CNA K was asked
about her understanding of serving hot liquids to residents. She stated that she warms liquids in the
microwave just enough to ensure they are not too hot. When asked how she determines whether a liquid is
too hot, CNA K stated that she touches the outside of the cup to assess the temperature. She further
explained that she wraps a napkin around the cup to prevent it from being too hot to handle, then places
the cup on the resident's table. In an interview conducted with CNA J on 10/22/2025 at 5:54 PM., CNA J
stated she has worked for two years at the facility. CNA J reported to remember the incident that
