According to regulations, the minimum temperature of hot water used for bathing shall be?

The minimum temperature of hot water used for bathing is set within the range of 95 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure both safety and comfort for residents. This temperature range is intended to prevent scalding while still providing an adequately warm bathing experience, which is particularly important in assisted living settings where individuals may have varying degrees of sensitivity or may require assistance with bathing.

Setting the temperature lower than this range could result in an unpleasant bathing experience, which may deter residents from maintaining personal hygiene. Conversely, exceeding the upper limit can pose a risk of burns and safety hazards, particularly for vulnerable populations.

This standard aligns with established regulations and best practices in assisted living facilities to ensure a safe, comfortable environment that promotes the well-being of residents.
