F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS: a nursing assessment tool) for one of five residents (Resident 31) reviewed for vaccination status. Residents Affected - Few As a result, the facility sent Resident 31's MDS to the federal database with inaccurate vaccination status. Cross Reference F883 Findings: 1. A review of Resident 31's admission Record indicated Resident 31 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included a history of congestive heart failure (is a long-term condition that occurs when the heart is not able pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can happen when the heart is too weak or stiff to pump properly, or if it can't fill up with enough blood. As a result, blood backs up in the heart, or becomes congested). A record review of Resident 31's MDS dated [DATE], indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMSdeveloped by reviewing the resident's status during the prior seven-day period) score of 15 points out of 15 possible points which indicated Resident 31 was cognitively (pertaining to memory, judgement and reasoning ability) intact. On 8/23/24 at 9:48 A.M., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Infection Prevention (IP) nurse, in the conference room. The IP stated that Resident 31 had a consent form dated 1/20/24 during vaccine season (October 1 through March 31 annually) 2023-2024 but did not receive an updated pneumonia (a respiratory infection caused by bacteria, virus or fungi that causes the lungs to be inflamed making it hard for oxygen to circulate in the blood stream that can cause discomfort and difficulty with breathing) vaccine according to the Center's for Disease Control (CDC) vaccine recommendations. The IP nurse stated it was important to offer and administer an updated pneumonia vaccine to prevent pneumonia and because Resident 31 had a history of pneumonia. The IP reviewed Resident 31's MDS on 5/25/24 Section O0300 Pneumococcal Vaccine (Is the resident's Pneumococcal vaccination up to date?) that was coded 1 for yes. The IP stated that the MDS was inaccurately coded because an updated pneumonia vaccine was not administered. On 8/23/24 at 10:00 A.M., a record review was conducted in Resident 37's electronic vaccination record. There was no documentation of an updated pneumonia vaccine administered. On 8/23/24 at 11:29 A.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 31, in Resident 31's room. Resident 31 stated he received the COVID-19 (coronavirus: A highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) and Flu (influenza: contagious respiratory disease caused by different strains of viruses) vaccine but was not offered or given an updated pneumonia vaccine. Resident 31 stated I'd consent to it if they offered me an updated pneumonia vaccine. On 8/23/24 2:30 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. The DON stated Resident 31's MDS should be corrected to reflect an accurate assessment since the pneumonia vaccine was not up to date to accurately reflect Resident 31's assessment status. The DON stated that her expectations were for the MDS should be coded per the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI: MDS manual (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055078 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 35 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055078 B.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure kitchen staff (dishwashers) had the competency to use, operate, document and check the water temperatures of two low temperature dishwashers. This failure increased the risk of food borne illness being transmitted via dirty dishware. On 8/21/24 at 8 A.M., a concurrent observation of low temperature dishwasher, interview with Dishwasher (DW) 11, and record review of Dish Machine Temperature Log was conducted. DW 11 stated that the process for washing the dishes was to spray the dishes in sink to rinse off food, place the dishes in the rack in the machine, turn on the machine to do it's rinse, then do a check for chlorine after the rinse cycle. DW 11 was observed taking chlorine sample at water exit site from the machine, not directly on dishes that had just been rinsed. DW 11 was unsure where to take temperature reading for the log. DW 11 pointed to the chlorine test strip when asked about the temperature. Review of Dish Machine Temperature Log with DW 11 indicated the temperature was logged at 120 degrees farenheit (F) for that morning. Return demonstration of how DW 11 took temperature was conducted. DW 11 ran dish washing machine, took her reading on the machine's thermometer, temperature at 8:05 A.M. was 115 degrees F. Water temperature at water exit site taken independently with surveyor's thermometer with reading at 110 degrees F. DW 11 stated she took the temperature by the machine's thermometer that morning on 8/21/24. DW 11 was not sure what the appropriate temperature should be. On 8/21/24 at 8:30 A.M., a concurrent observation of the low temperature dishwasher, interview with Dietary Manager (DM), and record review of Dish Machine Temperature Log was conducted. DM observed a return demonstration of DW 11 checking temperature of water and chlorine sample after rinse. DM also placed an independent kitchen thermometer at point of rinse, while surveyor's thermometer was placed at rinse water exit site from machine. Kitchen thermometer reading was 110 degrees F inside the machine, surveyor's thermometer at rinse water at exit site was 105 degrees F. DM stated that the machine was not getting up to the appropriate temperature for rinse and they would need to use the three compartments sink for manual washing the rest of the dishes. DM stated that the importance of getting rinsing temperature to 120 degrees F was that the dishes needed to be at the temperature to get the dishware clean and disinfected. Dish Machine Temperature Log reviewed with DM. Wash: and Rinse numbers were all the same for the whole log despite having different measurements that morning. DM stated that the dishwashers were probably not taking the temperature and just writing in same number. On 8/21/24 at 8:40 A.M., a concurrent observation of low temperature dishwasher and interview was conducted with DM and DW 11. A return demonstration of DW 11 testing chlorine levels on dishware was conducted with DM observing. DW 11 took sample from exit water site from the machine. DM stated that DW 11 should have taken the sample from the clean plate after rinse. DM stated that she didn't know the parameters for chlorine disinfection. DM stated that the importance of taking the sample on the dishes was to ensure dishes were getting sanitized by chlorine. On 8/22/24 at 8:30 A.M., a concurrent observation of low temperature dishwasher and interview with DW 12 and DM was conducted. DW 12 was observed washing dishes. DW 12 asked to read temperature gauge on dish machine, temperature reading was 125 F. DW 12 observed taking chlorine sample from rinse water exit site, not directly on washed dishware.
