Based on clinical records review, facility documentation, staff interviews, and observations, it was determined the facility failed to provide a safe environment regarding ready access to hot water in the cafe area and for one resident receiving heating treatments, which resulted in burns and actual harm to that resident ( CL 1 ). Findings include: On [DATE] in the afternoon hours, while conducting an environmental tour through the facility, a large group of residents exited a meeting room located off the main lobby and passed directly by an area known as the cafe; in this open area are tables, chairs, and two large volume coffee canisters with a red spout, which, when lifted, dispenses extremely hot water. The residents were not being supervised while in the proximity of the cafe. A sample of the water taken revealed a temperature of 162 degrees, capable of causing burns. Further observation of this group revealed both assisted living and skilled nursing residents with immediate access to this hot water source. This information was verified in an interview with the administrator on [DATE] at 11:00 a.m. Clinical record review of Resident CL 1's closed record, it was revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and expired on [DATE], after being taken to the hospital from the facility by emergency medical services.

Upon admission, the resident's pain assessment revealed continuous neuropathic throbbing of the left hip incision site ( referring to a dullness and diminished sensitivity to pain in that area ). A physician's orders [REDACTED]. A review of nursing documentation and facility incident report revealed that on February 20, 2012 at approximately. 7:30 a.m., the nurse aide giving a.m. care discovered a large open blister with surrounding reddened area and three clusters of two or more blisters on the left upper thigh. The nursing supervisor, physician and wound nurse were summoned and observed the area confirming the burns to be second degree, measuring 1.6 centimeters by 0.5 centimeters, open blister with slough and scant drainage, and a closed blister measuring 0.5 centimeters by 0.6 centimeters.

In an interview with the nursing supervisor on [DATE] at 10:00 a.m., along with Employee E1 and the Director of Nursing, it was revealed that the treatment administration record indicated the hot water bottle compress had been signed out the shift immediately preceding the discovery of the burn ( 11 p.m to 7 a.m. shift on February 19, 2011 ) and that the hot water bottle was observed wrapped in a towel on the sink by her when she entered the room on February 20, 2012.
