In collaboration with The Seattle Times, Big Local News is providing full-text nursing home deficiencies from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

> Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure that temperature levels in the Greenbank dining room were comfortable and did not exceed 81 degrees F. Findings include: During the dining observation in the Greenbank dining room on 7/11/17 at 12:15 PM, R174 was observed at a table, fanning herself with a napkin. Behind her table was a baseboard heater, which was observed to be turned on. R174 was asked on 7/11/17 at 12:15 PM why she was fanning herself and she stated, too hot in here. Inspection of the dining room revealed one other baseboard heater that was on, as well as another heater at the entrance to the dining room from the hallway. Measurement of Greenbank dining room's ambient room temperatures on 7/13/17 from 12:10 PM to 12:50 PM showed temperatures ranging from 80.4 degrees F to 84.6 degrees F in the areas with heaters turned on. R174 was observed fanning herself again, stating, it's hot in an interview at 12:30 PM. The ambient room temperature measured 83 degrees F where R174 sat. During an interview on 7/14/17 at 1:15 PM, E4 (Maintenance Director) stated that someone must have tampered with the circuit breakers, accidentally turning on the heaters as he had turned them off in May. On 7/17/17 at 2:30PM, ambient room temperatures taken in the Greenbank dining room revealed temperatures ranging from 75.4 degrees F to 78.6 degrees F in the areas where the heaters were turned on previously. All baseboard heaters had been turned off, as confirmed by E4 on 7/18/17 at 8:35 AM. Findings were reviewed with E2 (DON) on 7/19/17 at 5 PM. |
