Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Downtown Brooklyn Nursing & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not maintain required temperature levels, with all sampled resident rooms on multiple floors exceeding regulatory limits, some reaching up to 105°F. Multiple complaints from residents, families, and staff about malfunctioning air conditioning units and excessive heat were documented over several weeks. Despite maintenance efforts, the facility failed to prevent unsafe conditions, leading to Immediate Jeopardy for all residents.
All sampled resident rooms were found to have temperatures above regulatory limits, with some exceeding 100°F, due to the facility's failure to maintain an effective system for monitoring and controlling room temperatures. Multiple complaints were received from residents about excessive heat, and while maintenance and nursing staff were notified, communication gaps prevented timely escalation to the DON or Administrator. The deficiency resulted in widespread exposure of residents to excessive heat.
Failure to Maintain Safe Temperature Levels Results in Immediate Jeopardy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain safe and comfortable temperature levels for residents, as required by federal and state regulations. During the survey, temperatures in all sampled resident rooms on four resident floors were found to be above the required range of 71 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit, with some rooms reaching as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Multiple complaints were submitted to the State Agency regarding excessive heat throughout the facility, and the facility's own temperature logs documented high temperatures in a significant number of resident rooms. Maintenance logbooks indicated ongoing issues with malfunctioning air conditioning units, requests for fans, and reports of hot rooms over several weeks. Residents and staff were observed and interviewed expressing concerns about the high temperatures and malfunctioning air conditioning units. One resident, who had been in the facility for six years, reported repeated complaints to management and maintenance about inadequate preparation for heatwaves, stating that previous maintenance efforts did not resolve the recurring summer heat issues. Family members of this resident also reported that the resident experienced a severe headache due to the high room temperature and had repeatedly requested fans and reported the issue to various staff members, including the Admissions Director and a Registered Nurse Supervisor. Certified Nurse Aides confirmed that residents had been complaining about non-functioning air conditioners for several days and described their efforts to move residents to cooler areas and monitor their vital signs. Facility staff, including maintenance and administration, acknowledged an increase in complaints and maintenance requests related to air conditioning failures and high temperatures. The Director of Maintenance and the Administrator described efforts to service and repair air conditioning units and address electrical issues, but these actions did not prevent the widespread temperature violations. The deficiency resulted in Immediate Jeopardy to all residents' health and safety, as the facility did not ensure a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment as required by regulations.
Failure to Maintain Resident Room Temperatures Within Regulatory Limits
Penalty
Summary
Administration failed to ensure that the facility was operated in a manner that enabled effective and efficient use of resources to maintain the highest practicable well-being of residents. This deficiency was evident as all 55 sampled resident rooms across four floors were found to have temperatures exceeding federal and state requirements, with recorded temperatures ranging from 83°F to 105°F. On one occasion, specific rooms were measured at 105°F, 102°F, and 96°F. Three complaints were submitted to the State Agency regarding high temperatures throughout the facility, indicating that all residents were affected. The facility did not have an effective system in place to monitor and maintain room temperatures within the acceptable range of 71°F to 81°F. The facility's Quality Management Program policy outlined a comprehensive, data-driven approach to performance management, including the safety and security of the environment. However, temperature logs documented that on two consecutive days, resident room temperatures remained above the acceptable range, with several rooms exceeding 100°F. Despite the policy, the facility leadership did not ensure that the system for monitoring and controlling room temperatures was effective, resulting in widespread exposure of residents to excessive heat. Interviews revealed that staff received multiple complaints from newly admitted residents about extreme heat, particularly on one floor. Maintenance and nursing staff were notified, and some actions were taken, such as calling maintenance and attempting to move residents. However, communication gaps were evident, as some staff did not escalate concerns to the DON or Administrator, and the DON only became aware of the issue after being informed by a State Surveyor. The facility's leadership, including the Administrator and Medical Director, acknowledged awareness of the elevated temperatures but did not have an effective system in place to prevent or promptly address the issue.
