rolled herself to the vending machine while holding her cup of tea in her left hand. She stated she placed
her money in the machine and when she bent forward to get her snack out of the vending machine, she
accidently tipped the cup of tea in her lap. She stated it stung for a little bit when she first did it. She stated
she went on about her day and went to her room for lunch and an aide came in to help her put on some dry
pants. She stated when they removed her pants her leg was red with a few little blisters, but by the next day
it had blistered up and filled up with fluid. She stated the area was still puffed up, but not as much. She
stated it did not hurt. She stated the staff immediately put a bandage on it and had been treating the area
every day. She stated some doctor came by and looked at the area one day last week, but stated she was
not sure what day that was. She stated she had not had any pain from the burn, just had generalized pain
in her back and legs. In an interview with CNA G on 10/21/25 at 12:04 p.m. she stated she was the CNA
assigned to Resident #1 on 10/13/25. She had gotten the resident up that morning and as usual the
resident was out of her room wandering about the facility in her wheelchair. She stated the Nurse had told
her the resident needed her pants changed, stating they were wet. She stated she went to the resident's
room around 12:45 p.m. to change her and when she pulled the residents' pants off she noticed the
reddened, blistered area on her left thigh. The resident told her she had spilled hot tea on herself. She
stated she had no idea who had made her hot tea. She stated she notified the nurse immediately about the
spot on the resident's leg. She stated Resident #1 was independent with eating and drinking and always
ate in her room. She stated she went to the snack machine daily and would get herself a coke and chips.
She stated they did receive In-service and were told they were not to prepare hot beverage that the kitchen
had to make it. She stated they were also in-serviced on temperature checking any food or drink they were
asked to reheat for a resident and stated they had the temperatures posted in the nutrition room and had a
thermometer they were to use. She stated they also were provided with lidded cups for the residents. In an
interview with LVN B on 10/21/25 at 12:20 p.m. she stated the day of the incident with Resident #1 she was
in the hallway performing her blood sugar checks, when the resident rolled past her in the hall around 11:30
a.m. She stated the resident told her she had a spill and was headed to her room to get changed and get
ready for lunch. She stated she never said anything about spilling hot tea or indicated she was in pain. She
stated she did not have a cup in her hand at that time. She stated the resident always ate all of her meals in
her room but stated after her meals she wheeled about throughout the facility and frequently went to the
vending machine for cokes and chips. She stated the CNA alerted her about the red spot on her leg and
she went to assess it. She stated she alerted ADON A and she came and assessed it as well. She stated
this was when the resident told them she had spilled hot tea on herself. She stated since the incident they
implemented several changes. She stated they were screening any resident who had tremors, vision
impairments, behaviors and weakness to determine who needed to have lidded cups for hot beverages and
supervision. She stated nursing staff had to serve the residents their beverages and residents cannot
self-serve coffee in the dining room. She stated the kitchen brings fresh coffee and hot water three times a
day to the nourishment room, and only the staff have access to those rooms. She stated they were
discouraged from reheating any coffee, instead pour fresh. For reheating food, they have a thermometer to
be able to check the temperature. She stated the food temperature was not to exceed 160 degrees and any
resident who had been deemed independent and wanted to carry their hot beverage with them had to be in
a lidded cup or travel mug with a lid. In an observation on 10/21/25 at 9:15 a.m. LVN E prepared wound
care supplies for Resident #1's wound care. LVN E performed hand hygiene, put on gown and gloves and

position to pull down her pants, revealing a dressing on the upper portion of her left thigh right below her
brief line. LVN E removed the old dressing revealing a fluid filled blister approximately the size of a half
dollar on her left upper thigh. There was no redness noted surrounding the blister. LVN E performed hand
hygiene, put on clean gloves and cleaned the blister with wound cleanser and applied xeroform gauze and
covered with dry dressing. The resident did not express any pain or show signs of pain during the
procedure. In an interview with LVN E on 10/21/25 at 9:25 a.m. she stated she was not working on the day
of the incident with Resident #1. She stated Resident #1 was independent with eating and drinking and
always ate her meals in her room. She stated she wheels herself in her wheelchair throughout the facility
most of the day and returns to her room for meals. She stated since the incident they had received
in-service which required the staff to pour coffee or hot water from the carafe provided from the kitchen.
She stated the carafes were stored in the nutrition rooms and only the staff had keys to the nutrition rooms.
She stated they were also instructed that any resident who traveled with their hot beverage had to have a
lidded cup. She stated if food or beverages were reheated in the microwave they had to check the
temperature prior to giving it to the resident. She stated hot coffee was not served if it was over 150
degrees. In an observation and interview with CNA A of the nutrition room on the skilled unit side of the
facility on 10/21/25 at 9:55 a.m., two carafes were revealed. One was labeled coffee the other was labeled
hot water. CNA A retrieved the thermometer, wiped it with an alcohol wipe and tested the carafe with coffee
which registered 139 degrees. She wiped the thermometer with another alcohol wipe and tested the carafe
with hot water which registered 150 degrees. She stated they do not reheat coffee for residents but instead
get them a fresh cup of coffee. She stated the kitchen replenished the coffee carafes three times a day or
when they run out they will go to the kitchen to have them fill the carafes. In an interview and observation
with the Dietary Manager on 10/21/25 at 10:05 a.m. the kitchen area was revealed to be divided. The
entrance contains a commercial coffee urn. Observation of the twin coffee brewing system revealed
between the two coffee tanks was a hot water dispenser. The coffee brewing system had 3 settings, high,
medium and low. The system was set on medium. Interview with the Dietary manager revealed this had
been the setting the machine had been set on upon its installation, which was a top setting of about 175
degrees, which was needed to brew coffee. She stated the kitchen staff had always filled the coffee carafes
for serving on the halls and the dining room for the residents. She stated they had very few residents who
drank hot tea, but if they requested the kitchen staff would make it, and temperature check before giving it
to the staff. She stated she had been here 10 years, and they had never had a Hot-beverage incident. She
stated since the incident the nursing staff had assessed all of the residents who had dementia, tremors,
behaviors, poor vision and poor hand control and they were provided with a list of those residents. She
stated those residents had to have a lidded coffee mug for hot beverages. She stated she went one step
further and for all the hall trays they all had lidded coffee mugs. She stated they only use open coffee cups
in the dining room under supervision and if the resident had been deemed safe with hot beverages. She
stated they also had stopped setting the coffee carafes out for the residents to self-serve. She stated staff
had to serve the residents. She stated her staff temperature check the coffee carafes before putting out for
service. She stated carafes will cool off about 10 degrees. She stated they brew coffee at least three times
a day. She stated the first pot was brewed at about 5:30 a.m. for breakfast so by the time they start plating
for breakfast the coffee has cooled. In observation of the long-term care unit's nutrition room with ADON C
on 10/21/25 at 11:10 a.m. revealed signs posted for the correct serving temperature for any food and drink
to be reheated in the microwave. Temperatures for food were not to exceed

160 degrees and drinks 150 degrees. ADON C wiped the thermometer with an alcohol wipe, poured a cup
of coffee and tested the temperature. The coffee registered 130 degrees. She stated they had sent for a
carafe of hot water and stated the kitchen would replenish the carafes around lunchtime. Observation of the
long-term care dining room on 10/21/25 at 11:15 a.m. revealed CNA F serving drinks to the resident prior to
lunch service. Two residents were observed with lidded coffee mugs. CNA F went into the kitchen serving
area to refill one of the residents' coffee mugs from a coffee carafe. ADON A temperature checked the
carafe, and it registered 130 degrees. Hall carts for hall 100 and Hall 200 were also being loaded. The
coffee carafes were filled. Temperature checks completed by ADON A on hall cart 200 registered 143.8
degrees. Hall 100 registered 141 degrees. In an interview with CNA F on 10/21/25 at 11:25 a.m. she stated
they had all been in-serviced about the new process for serving hot beverages. She stated they were not
allowed to make any resident a hot beverage, but instead the kitchen had to make it to make sure it was the
correct temperature. She stated they had also moved the coffee carafes out of the dining room, and they
had to serve the residents their coffee. She stated they had been instructed to have any resident who had
behaviors, tremors, weaknesses, or poor vision had to have a lidded cup and be supervised. She stated
they were to place the coffee on the table away from the edge of the table for any resident they served a hot
beverage too. She stated for residents who like to wheel around or want to take their coffee with them they
had to place it in a lidded cup. She stated a lot of those residents have their own lidded coffee mugs. In an
interview with ADON A on 10/21/25 at 11:30 a.m. she stated the day of incident with Resident #1 she was
alerted by LVN B about the burn to the resident's leg. She stated she went to assess the area and stated it
was slightly red with some small, raised blisters. She stated the resident told her she had spilled her hot tea
on herself. She stated they first thought she had just gotten the hot tea but later found out it was much
earlier in the day, and she had not said anything to anyone. She stated she immediately called the doctor
and received treatment orders, notified the family and notified the DON. She stated they started reviewing
the incident and immediately stopped the staff from preparing any hot beverages for a resident. She stated
they started in-servicing right away. She stated therapy evaluated the at-risk residents to determine who
was safe with hot beverages. She stated they had always had coffee carafes in the nutrition room for the
residents use, but now the rooms were locked, and the staff had to serve the residents and ensure the
temperature was checked. She stated they also posted the safe temperatures for reheating food or drinks.
She stated food did not exceed 160 degrees and hot beverage 150 degrees. She stated any resident who
was alert and wanted to take their coffee with them had to have a lidded cup or travel mug with a lid. She
stated they had several residents who liked to take their coffee with them as they went around the facility. In
an interview with the Maintenance Director on 10/21/25 at 11:40 a.m. he stated the facility's commercial
coffee maker had always been set on its lowest setting that will effectively brew coffee. He stated the water
tank only keeps water warm so when they start brewing it does not have to heat cold water. He stated the
water will heat up during the brewing process. He stated the hottest temperature test he had found was
when the water was going into the brewing basket and it registered at 175 degrees. He stated they had
always had it set to the midpoint and never to the high point. He stated he tested the hot water holding tank
the day of the incident it was testing at 135 degrees when he tested it. He stated the temperature will
fluctuate when the machine starts to brew coffee but will then decrease after the brewing process was
complete. He stated it depended on the timing of when you get hot water out of it and on what the
temperature will be. A second observation on 10/22/25 at 8:35 a.m. of the coffee brewing system with the
Dietary manager revealed the right coffee pot had been brewed

approximately 15 minutes earlier. The Dietary manger drew up a cup of coffee directly from the brew station
and the temperature check registered 150.9 degrees. The left coffee pot was brewed approximately an hour
ago and the temperature check registered 149 degrees. A cup of hot water was poured from the holding
tank, and it registered 135.5 degrees. The Dietary manager stated this was the range of temperatures they
were getting each time they tempt the coffee and water. She stated their policy was coffee was to be
consumed at temperatures between 155 to 175 degrees. She stated powdered creamer will not dissolve in
coffee below 150 degrees. In an interview with Occupational Therapist D on 10/22/25 at 11:15 a.m. she
stated she had provided therapy to Resident #1 several times since her admission to the facility. She stated
she never had any issues with upper or lower range of motion and had always been independent for eating
and drinking. She stated her main issues were poor core strength and balance when standing or
ambulating. She stated it was simply a fluke accident. She stated she re-screened her after the incident and
there were no changes from her previous base line. She stated the facility had them screen all residents
with dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control and balance) tremors, rheumatoid arthritis (causes
inflammation and damage to the joints) and decrease range of motion for hot liquid safety. She stated any
of those residents would require a lidded cup and supervision while drinking. She stated any resident who
wanted to travel with their hot beverage would also need a lidded cup. In an interview with the DON on
10/22/25 at 12:05 p.m she stated CNA A was given a verbal warning for getting hot tea for a resident
without checking the temperature. She stated secondly, she should had never hand the resident hot tea
while in her wheelchair and should have taken it to her room for her or placed it on a nearby table. She
stated Resident #1 was independent with eating and drinking. She stated the CNA was simply providing the
resident with what she asked for but stated should have thought it through. She stated it was a pure and
simple accident. She stated the resident never alerted them until hours later she had spilled hot tea on her.
She stated they did have the wound care physician evaluate her and he would continue to see her until the
area was healed. She stated all the staff were told to immediately stop preparing any hot beverage for
residents and only have the kitchen staff prepare it. She stated they told the staff they were to serve the
residents coffee or obtain hot water from the carafes the kitchen staff provided, because they had been
temperature checked for safety. She stated they had placed thermometer and safe temperature notices in
the nourishment rooms in case the staff were reheating food and drinks, and they had all been in-serviced
on checking temperatures and knowing the appropriate temperature for food and coffee. She stated the
Dietary Manager had conducted in-service and training with all the dietary staff. She stated they also
screened and updated resident's care plan for resident who required a lidded cup for hot beverages. She
stated they met with all of the alert residents and informed them going forward the staff would have to serve
them coffee instead of them having access to the coffee carafes. She stated any alert resident who wanted
to go around the facility with their coffee also had to have it in a lidded cup or lidded travel mug. She stated
several of the residents had their own coffee mugs with lids. In an interview with the Administrator on
10/22/25 at 07:55 p.m. He stated the incident with Resident #1 was the result of CNA A preparing her a cup
of tea and not knowing how hot it was. He stated they immediately stopped all the nursing staff from
preparing any hot beverage for a resident, and instead were instructed to request if from dietary, so they
can properly test the temperature. He stated the coffee was checked by kitchen staff every time they put it
into the carafes and was to be within the proper temperature range and staff were to ensure when poured it
did not exceed 150. He stated staff were instructed to lock the nourishment rooms because they were
expected to serve the residents anytime they requested coffee. He stated they had also implemented lidded
