Findings include: Resident #18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 02/12/18 at 3:31 PM, Resident #18 verbalized the room was warm. The resident explained her family member had attempted to bring a fan into the facility but was told by the staff the resident could not have a fan. On 02/12/18 at 3:31 PM, Resident #18's room was warmer in comparison to other areas of the facility which included the opposite side of the room from where the bed was located. The afternoon sun was shining into the window located to the left of the bed. On 02/14/18 at 7:55 AM, Resident #18's family member confirmed earlier in the week she had attempted to bring in a fan and was stopped at the door and told she was not allowed to bring it in for Resident #18. The family member verbalized she did not understand why, as she had previously been allowed to bring in a fan for Resident #18 during a previous admission to the facility. On 02/14/18 at 08:01 AM, the Maintenance Director confirmed he stopped the family member in the lobby from entering the facility with the fan as the fan had a heating element and having the fan in the facility would have been against life safety code.

The Maintenance Director confirmed he did not offer a fan to the resident or family member before today.
