32 | Based on interviews, it was also determined that facility staff had knowledge of heating unit not producing heat on 12-15-22, but message was not reached by management staff until the evening of 12-16-22 based on work order; prompting follow up on 12-17-22, and eventual repair on 12-18-22. As a result, there is a preponderance of evidence to conclude facility had knowledge of malfunctioning heating unit, but did not act timely to ensure a comfortable temperature remained in R1’s room from 12-15-22 until completed repair. As a result this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED.
