32 | Currently, October 10, 2022, Administrator notified the Licensing office by phone and submitted incident report, of a hot water issue affecting a unit(s) , hot water was being received intermittently. Per records review, the facility Administrator had an evening Professional Plumbing Serviceman come into the facility and inspect the hot water issue. The Plumber identified that the" tempering valve" needs to be replaced, and this part will need to be ordered. The order of this part will take longer than expected due to the part not being available in California. The part will need to be made and than shipped out to the Plumbing Company. The Plumbing Company will contact the facility to schedule the installation of the part once received.
LPA checked various resident rooms hot water temperature, including the unit affected, and all were found to be in compliance, not below 105.F and not higher than 120.F, Per investigation, the hot water issue is affecting a unit, the water gets hot at this time but can run hot intermittently and/or can interrupt the hot water due to the repair needed.
Based on LPA interviews, review of records, and information LPA obtained, the investigation has revealed that the allegation of "facility sink faucets do not deliver hot
water" has been substantiated.
Due to the substantiation of the allegation, a citation, 87303 (e)(2) Maintenance and Operation, will be cited today, see LIC9099D.
The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), is being cited.
Exit interview conducted with the Administrator Stephanie Limberg.
Appeal Rights Given.
