Cedar Hill Healthcare: Hot Water Failures - PA
The complaint inspection, conducted April 28, 2026, found that two of the facility's three units, the North Unit and the South Unit, had failed to provide adequate hot water for bathing. The problem had lasted roughly a week before a repair was made, and even after that repair, temperatures remained below an acceptable threshold.
Inspectors measured sink temperatures in nine resident rooms and three shower rooms between 11:53 a.m. and 12:25 p.m. that day, walking the facility alongside Maintenance Director Employee E2. The readings ranged from 94.8 degrees Fahrenheit in the North Hall shower room to 99.0 degrees in the South Hall shower room. No room reached 100 degrees. The maintenance director told inspectors his goal was to reach 107 to 108 degrees and that he was still adjusting the boiler, which had recently been replaced. "The company did a good job," he said. "They came in right away."
During the outage, staff had filled basins and brought them to residents on the subacute side. That arrangement held from a Friday afternoon until Tuesday morning.
One resident, asked about the water temperature, said it had been low for about a week and that showers had resumed only after repairs. Another said she had just started getting showers again and that the water felt warmer. The resident who couldn't wash her hair that morning said she was considering trying the sink instead.
Inspectors cited the facility for failing to maintain a clean, safe, comfortable, and homelike environment.
She hadn't decided yet.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
