Inspection Findings
Observation on 10/15/25 at 10:55 A.M. of Resident #88's room confirmed the resident had a roommate who used the same bathroom, which was still in full use, without the installation of any filters.
Concurrent interview with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #75 verified Resident #88 had a roommate and the bathroom remained operational, without the use of any filters.
Additionally, CNA #75 confirmed the shower room used by Resident #88 was still in full use, without the use of filters on the water faucets.
Continued observation of the shower room revealed the shower room floor was wet, as if a shower had recently been completed. No filters were observed on the shower faucet.
Further observation revealed the shower room sink had an eye wash device on the faucet, with no filters observed.
Observation on 10/15/25 at 11:47 A.M. revealed MD #300 completed a chlorine test of a water sample from the staff bathroom. MD #300 stated he was looking for a result of 0.5 ppm to 1.0 ppm.
The result was 0.23 ppm. MD #300 stated he completed a test earlier to make sure it was in normal range and the chlorine level result at that time was 0.46 ppm. MD #300 redid the testing, shook the solution more vigorously, and confirmed the result was in the normal range. MD #300 stated there was an issue with the testing system as it did not instruct on a standard amount of time or how long to shake the solution prior to reading the result.
Further interview with MD #300 verified the shower room had a functional eye wash station, although the facility stopped using them and used water bottles instead.
Interview on 10/15/25 at 2:00 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed the facility's water management plan could have been more robust to address the legionella concerns.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2638537.
