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.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a recertification extended survey, the observational tour of resident's rooms, temperature measurements and group interview during the survey for the physical environment, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that 5 out of 28 resident's rooms during the initial tour (resident's room [ROOM NUMBER]-A, #111-A, B, C and D) has an appropriate temperature for their comfort. Findings include: 1.During the observational tour of resident's sleeping rooms performed on 5/2/17 from 9:00 am until 10:45 am, it was found that R#4 sleeping room [ROOM NUMBER]-A was not in the temperature parameters. Surveyor took the temperature with the laser thermometer and it was on 68.5 degrees Fahrenheit . During interview with his son on 5/2/17 at 10:50 am he state: My father was in the bed C; he starts to cough a lot and complain of cold. Yesterday I told to the nurse the problem and they change my father to this side (Bed A). On 5/3/17 at 1:25 pm until 2:00 pm the group interviwe was performed. A caregiver from resident room [ROOM NUMBER]-A indicates during group interview that the room where her sister is staying it is too cold. During the physical environment performed on 5/4/17 from 9:15 am until 11:45 am surveyor visited the residents' room [ROOM NUMBER] with capacity for four residents. The temperature was taken with the laser thermometer at 10:25 am and it was on 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit . During the interview on 5/4/17 at 9:20 am with R#4 sons' and random sample (RS) #2 from room [ROOM NUMBER]-D he stated that the temperatures in the night are cold. Interview with Physical Plant Director (employee #12) performed on 5/4/17 at 10:25 am; he stated: I'm controlling and monitoring the temperatures from my office. We do not have problem with the temperature at this moment. The facility provided evidence that they verified resident's room temperatures to ensure that the temperature range is between 71 F and 81 F; however they are taking this reading off of the thermostat located in the rooms. Periodic resident room temperatures using the thermometer must be performed and documented by the facility, and residents shall be asked if the temperature is comfortable to ensure that residents can recuperate to their fullest potential and are reasonably accommodated. |
