food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food items were labeled and
expired food was discarded in a sanitary manner to prevent growth of microorganisms that could cause
food borne illness (food poisoning: any illness resulting from the food spoilage of contaminated food,
pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food) for 43 out of the 46 residents in the facility
by failing to:
1. Ensuring 10 packs of frozen vegetables in Freezer 1, 2 opened 1-gallon milk cartons, a storage bin of
lemons and green onions in Refrigerator 2, and [NAME] and Basmati [NAME] stored in the dry storage
room were labeled.
2. Discarding 2 large storage bins of expired jasmine rice (1) and basmati rice (1), 1 large storage bin of
pasta noodles, 3 small packs of lasagna pasta noodles in a Ziploc bag, 1 large storage bin of dried split
peas and a large box of graham crackers in the dry storage room.
3. Ensuring the dishwasher and sink sanitization levels were within adequate recommended perimeters for
43 residents.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in pathogen (germs) exposure to residents and placed
residents at risk for developing foodborne illness (food poisoning) leading to other serious medical
complications and hospitalization.

1. Ensure proper infection control techniques were performed during wound care treatment for two of two
sampled residents (Resident 26 and Resident 9).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in contamination of the residents' wounds and placed the
residents at risk for infection.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 26's admission record indicated Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including muscle wasting and atrophy (the wasting
(thinning) or loss of muscle tissue), dementia (a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least
two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment), and atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid
heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow).
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated
January 18, 2018, indicated Resident 1 was severely cognitively impaired (process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) in daily decision making and required
dependent assistance with transfer, dressing, and toilet use.
During observation on 2/22/24 at 1:34 p.m. in Resident 26's room with Treatment Nurse (TN 1), TN 1 was
observed performing wound care treatment on Resident 26. TN 1 applied Santyl ointment inside of
Resident 26's wound with a cotton swab (a long q-tip). TN 1 then re-used the same cotton swab to apply
the remainder of the Santyl medication in the medication cup to the wound. Lastly, TN 1 was observed
applying hydrogel ointment (an ointment used to heal dead and infected tissue) inside of Resident 26's
wound with same cotton swab used for applying Santyl ointment.
During an interview on 2/22/24 at 2:40 p.m. with TN 1, TN 1 stated Resident 26's wound is chronic and
refuses to heal. TN 1 stated cotton swabs are to be changed after applying ointment. TN 1 stated after
applying Santyl ointment with a cotton swab, The wound is 'clean' to me. TN 1 stated the risk of not
changing cotton swabs during wound care treatment can carry the burden of spreading germs and can be
an infection control issue.
b. During a review of Resident 9's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 9 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 9's diagnoses included
congestive heart failure (chronic condition where the heart does not pump blood effectively), osteoarthritis
(a progressive joint disease, in which the tissues in the joint break down over time), and hypothyroidism (the
thyroid doesn't create and release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream).
During a review of Resident 9's History and Physical (H&P), dated 10/9/2023, the H&P indicated Resident
9 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
