Whether Respondent, Lakeland Manor Health Care Associates, LLC, d/b/a Wedgewood Healthcare Center, committed a Class I deficiency at the time of a survey conducted on October 29, 2004, so as to justify the issuance of a "conditional" license; and whether to impose an administrative fine of $10,000 under Section 400.23, Florida Statutes (2004), and an additional fine of $6,000 under Section 400.19, Florida Statutes (2004).Although the hot water temperature coming out of the sinks in four residents` rooms was 140 degrees, well above the 115-degree maximum, the evidence did not prove the likelihood of serious injury to a resident. Recommend that the complaint be dismissed.
