Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the advance directives (written instruction, such as a living will or durable power of attorney for health care, recognized under State law, relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated), were completed in accordance with the facility policy for one of six residents (Resident 27) reviewed for advance directives. This failure had the potential to result in a delay of treatment for Resident 27 related to advance directives, or for life sustaining measures to be rendered against what the resident wanted.
Findings: During an observation, on November 29, 2022, at 9:06 AM, Resident 27 was in her room, lying down in bed. During a review of Resident 27's medical record, the admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), indicated Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included end stage renal disease (kidneys no longer work), dependence on renal dialysis (process that removes wastes in place of your kidneys), diabetes mellitus (when pancreas does not produce enough insulin), and heart failure (heart is unable to pump blood around the body properly). During a concurrent interview and record review, with the Social Services Director (SSD), on December 2, 2022, at 8:25 AM, the SSD reviewed Resident 27's California Advance Health Care Directive (CAHCD), dated May 14, 2022 (approximately six months ago), which indicated it was completed by Resident 27 with two witness signatures. Further review indicated it was missing the Ombudsman's (resolve disputes from a neutral, independent viewpoint) signature. During further interview and record review with the SSD, the SSD verified the CAHCD was not signed by the Ombudsman and should have been. The SSD was not able to find documented evidence that the Ombudsman was informed. The SSD stated, I did not inform the Ombudsman because I did not know about it and I missed it. During a concurrent interview and record review, with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the SSD, on December 2, 2022, at 8:35 AM, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directives Operation Manual- Social Services, dated December 1, 2013, indicated, .II. If the resident chooses to execute an Advance Directive, the Director of Social Services or his or her designees will contact the Ombudsman so that the Ombudsman can witness the resident signing the Advance Directive .

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, record review, the facility failed to follow proper sanitization and food handling practices when:
Residents Affected - Many 1. Raw thawing beef and bacon was stored on the same shelf as raw thawing chicken breast. 2. The dishwashing machine was not sanitizing the dishes. 3. The ice machine was found to have brown residue under the ice dispenser and on the ceiling of the ice storage bin. 4. A floor repair was unfinished, and the surface was not easily cleanable. These failures had the potential to expose 51 highly susceptible residents who received food from the kitchen to cause foodborne illness (illness caused by the ingestion of contaminated food or beverage) due to cross contamination (the transfer of harmful substances or disease-causing microorganisms to food).
Findings: 1. An inspection of the kitchen was conducted with a Dietary Aide (DA 1), on November 29, 2022, at 8:03 AM. Inside the refrigerator, a metal container of thawing bacon was stored on top of a thawing bag of chicken breast, and a container of thawing raw beef was on the bottom shelf beside the chicken. The thawing pan of raw chicken breast was filled with raw chicken juices. During a subsequent interview with DA 1, on November 29, 2022, at 8:30 AM, DA 1 stated the raw beef and bacon should be stored above the raw chicken breast and not on the same shelf. During an interview with the Registered Dietitian (RD 1), on December 1, 2022, at 2:35 PM, the RD 1 stated the chicken should not be thawing on the same shelf as the beef. The RD 1 further stated the staff should be following the guidelines according to cooking temperature. During a review of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Food Code 2017 3-401.11, indicated, Greater numbers and varieties of pathogens generally are found on poultry than on other raw animal foods. Therefore, a higher temperature, in combinations with the appropriate time is needed to cook these products. 2. During an observation, on November 30, 2022, at 9:12 AM, in the kitchen, DA 1 tested the dishwashing machine with a chlorine test strip (used to measure the concentration of chlorine in sanitizing solutions). The result from the test strip indicated there was no sanitizer detected or 0 parts per million (PPM- unit of measurement). Two additional tests were performed by DA 1 with the same results of no sanitizer detected. During an follow up with DA 1, on November 30, 2022, at 9:50 AM, she stated the PPM of chlorine should be 50-100 according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Recording, it indicated The dish machine will be routinely monitored during use. The concentration of the sanitary solution during the rinse cycle is 50 ppm for chlorine sanitizer. During a review of the FDA Food Code 2017 4-204.117, it indicated The presence of adequate detergents and sanitizers is necessary to effect clean and sanitized utensils and equipment.
Residents Affected - Many 3. During a concurrent observation and interview, on November 29, 2022, at 8:35 AM, with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), in the kitchen, the ice machine was found to have brown residue under the ice dispenser and on the ceiling of the ice storage bin. The MS acknowledged the finding and stated the hard water stains were difficult to remove and he has to use a brush to scrub and remove it. During an interview, with the RD 1, on November 30, 2022, at 9:37 AM, the RD 1 stated the ice machine should be kept clean, and they may need to clean it more often to ensure it remains clean. During a review of the Federal FDA 2017 Food Code 4-204.17, it indicated The potential for mold and algae growth in this area is very likely due to the high moisture environment. Molds and algae that form is difficult to remove and present a risk of contamination to the ice stored in the bin. According to the CDC's (Center for Disease Control) Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Health Care Facilities, Recommendations of CDC and the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), revised July 2019, https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/pdf/guidelines/environmental-guidelines-P.pdf), microorganisms may be present in ice, ice-storage chests, and ice-making machines. The two main sources of microorganisms in ice are the potable water from which it is made and a transferal of organisms from hands. Ice from contaminated ice machines has been associated with .blood stream infections, pulmonary (having to do with the lungs) and gastrointestinal (having to do with the stomach and intestinal tract) illnesses. Recommendations for a regular program of maintenance and disinfection have been published. Some waterborne bacteria found in ice could potentially be a risk to immunocompromised patients if they consume ice or drink beverages with ice. 4. During an observation, on November 29, 2022, at 8:05 AM, in the kitchen, the floor near the sink drain was patched with a black substance. During an interview, the RD 1, on November 30, 2022, at 9:37 AM, the RD 1 stated they did some plumbing work and had to remove some of the tiles. She further stated the material used to patch the floor was not smooth and not easily cleanable. During a review of the FDA Food Code 2017 4-202.16 Nonfood-Contact Surfaces indicated, Hard-to-clean areas could result in the attraction and harborage of insects and rodents and allow the growth of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a copy of a completed Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST-voluntary form used statewide as a physician order that converts a resident's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment and resuscitation into physician orders.) was filed in the medical record of one of six residents (Resident 209) reviewed for advance directive (written instruction, such as a living will or durable power of attorney for health care, recognized under State law, relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated), in accordance with the facility procedure. This failure has the potential to place Resident 209 at risk of unmet care needs in the event of an emergency requiring lifesaving interventions due to the POLST not being accessible.
Findings: During a review of Resident 209's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), indicated Resident 209 was admitted to facility on November 16, 2022, with diagnoses of urinary tract infection (UTI- infection caused by bacteria in the bladder), and encephalopathy (damage or disease that affects the brain). During a concurrent interview and record review, with a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3), on December 2, 2022, at 1:45 PM, LVN 3 reviewed Resident 209's medical record and stated Resident 209's POLST was not on file. During a concurrent interview and record review, with the Medical Records Director (MRD), on December 2, 2022, at 1:30 PM, the MRD reviewed Resident 209's medical record and stated Resident 209's POLST was not on file.
