Example 1
On 5/13/25 at 7:32 AM, Surveyor interviewed MDir M (Maintenance Director) and MntT N (Maintenance Tech) and asked about how the facility monitors the WH and HWT outlet temperatures.
MntT N stated the last maintenance director had done some form of temperature testing, prior to leaving employment about a month ago, but no record logs had been found. MDir M stated there is a work order in the maintenance management computer system assigned for the 15th day of each month which states to check multiple locations for water temperature readings (must be between 110-115 degrees, document finding.). MDir M stated that MDir M has been unable to locate a report of any documented temperature readings.
Surveyor asked if there was monitoring of the water temperature at the WH or HWT. MDir M stated no, there are no documented temperatures.
Of note, 140 degrees is the temperature required to prevent Legionella.
On 5/13/25 at 8:24 AM, Surveyor interviewed NHA A (Nursing Home Administrator) and asked about temperature testing of the water heater outlet. NHA A stated that the past maintenance director had put a robust plan into place and NHA A believed that there had been testing at the boiler.
