Plan of Correction
The water heater for the residence in question was immediately addressed on the date of survey; the Maintenance Team adjusted the maximum water temperature to be below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This was verified by the Director of Operations.
The Environment of Care Walkthrough Form utilized biweekly at all Blueprints Recovery Residences was updated to include verification of temperature below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Residential Leadership and other Residential staff responsible for completing the process were retrained by the Compliance Officer and the Director of Operations on 8/15/2025.
The Compliance Officer has established an additional monthly auditing process, which began on 8/15/2025, to verify the completion of this additional form field and, in instances of negative responses, will immediately delegate correction to the Maintenance Team and the Director of Operations. This monthly auditing process will continue in perpetuity as a function of the Safety Committee.
