Based on observations, review of purchase order history and interviews, the facility failed to ensure water temperatures in the shower rooms were at the appropriate temperature. The facility also failed to ensure a shower, sink, exhaust fan, and ceiling light were working appropriately and in good repair. This had the potential to affect 56 residents residing on Units 200, 300, 400 and 500. Facility census was 76.Findings include: Review of the printed orders from Amazon, provided by Maintenance Direct #295, revealed a shower valve was ordered to replace a bad valve for the 200-hall shower room on 11/12/25. An additional order dated 12/02/25 revealed a vacuum breaker was ordered for the 200-hall shower room. An observation
on 12/30/25 at 8:57 A.M. revealed there was no water when the hot water handle in the sink in the 400-hall shower room was turned on.An interview on 12/30/25 at 8:59 A.M. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #246 verified the shower room on the 200-hall sprayed water out of the pipes and was not working properly so residents requested to be showered on the 400 or 500 halls. CNA #246 verified the water temperature in
the shower rooms on the 400 and 500 halls were always cold. An observation on 12/30/25 at 8:59 A.M. of
the 200-hall shower room revealed a medical glove over the pipes coming out of the wall and went to the shower head. Water was observed dripping into the glove even though the shower was turned off.An
interview on 12/30/25 at 9:00 A.M. Maintenance Director #295 verified parts had been ordered and delivered for the 200-hall shower room, but he did not have time to fix the shower and wasn't sure when the repairs would be done because he also had other repairs to complete. Maintenance Director #295 stated at first the shower on the 200-hall did not have hot water, so a shower valve was ordered. Then water started spraying out of the pipes coming out of the wall, so another part was ordered on 12/02/25. An additional
interview and observation at 9:55 A.M. with Maintenance Director #295 verified the ceiling exhaust fan cover was missing and there was clear liquid that appeared to be water and brown colored stains in the ceiling light cover in the 200-hall shower room.
