The procedure section revealed the following but not limited information;
1. During the admission process, Business Development will communicate with the facility regarding
prospective admissions. A level 1 PASRR will be provided prior to admission to the skilled nursing facility.

setting.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, resident/staff interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide Activities of Daily
Living (ADL) care, to include feet nail care for one (#163) of thirty-eight sampled residents (#163).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
On 4/8/2024 at 10:20 a.m. Resident #163 was observed in her room and seated on the edge of her bed
and facing the door. Upon entering the room, she was noted with both feet bare and touching the floor tiles.
Further observations revealed both of her feet were swollen, red and with all ten toenails elongated and
curled inward. Some of the nails were observed approximately one inch past the tip of her nail beds. All her
nails were also a dark yellowish color. The resident, through interview, revealed her feet hurt as well as her
hip. She confirmed both of her feet had very long nails and that her feet felt uncomfortable as a result.
Resident #163 revealed she had been residing at the facility about two weeks and she planned on going
back to the community after her rehabilitation. Resident #163 said she was unable to cut her fingernails and
toenails herself. Resident #163 denied she was diabetic but confirmed staff would have to help her with
some of her Activities of Daily Living (ADL) to include shower/bathing assistance, and nail care. Resident
#163 was asked if staff had offered to cut any of her toenails and she denied any staff offering. She
explained since her admission, she had spoken to night shift aides several times to have them help cut her
toenails. She could not remember who she spoke to but remembered they were Certified Nursing
Assistants (CNAs). Resident #163 revealed she was told by the CNAs that they would get back to her, but
they never did. Resident #163 confirmed since her admission, she had never had any staff do any type of
foot care to include trimming of any toenails. Resident #163 was observed to slip both of her feet in what
appeared to be open toed sandals. She had some discomfort slipping on the sandals and then stood up
and utilized her walker device to ambulate out from her room and out into the main hallway.
On 4/9/2024 at 9:30 a.m. Resident #163 was observed walking to the nurse station. Upon using the phone,
she was observed wearing open toed sandals and her toenails on both of her feet were observed in the
same condition as seen the day before on 4/8/2024.
On 4/10/2024 at 7:39 a.m. Resident #163 was observed in her room and seated on the edge of her bed.
Her feet were noted on the floor and with no shoes or socks on. Both of her feet were exposed and all ten
toenails were yellowed, elongated and some curled inward. Resident #163 confirmed her nails were still
long and that nobody will cut them for her. She revealed both her feet hurt but not just because of her nails
being long. The floor next to the over the bed table and next to Resident #163's Left foot, was observed with
white/tan slip on deck shoes. Further observations revealed approximately a four inch slit/cut into the toe
box of both shoes. Resident #163 revealed that she had to cut slits in both of these closed toed shoes due
to her toenail feet discomfort, and that it eliminated pressure. She was observed to slip on both of these
closed toe shoes and exhibited some discomfort in doing so. She then stood up and used her walker device
to leave the room and go outside to the smoking area/back porch area.
Review of Resident #163's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of
the Diagnosis sheet revealed Resident #163 had diagnoses to include but not limited to: Cognitive
Communication Deficit, Muscle wasting and atrophy, Lack of coordination, Anxiety, Mood disorder.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, staff interviews and facility record review, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen's
low temperature dish washing machine was operating effectively to include provision of correct chemical
sanitizer during one of four days observed (4/8/2024).
Residents Affected - Many
Findings included:
On 4/8/2024 at 9:10 a.m. the main kitchen was toured with the Dietary Manager. The Dietary Manager was
asked if she and her staff were at the time operating the dish washing machine. She confirmed they were
and she noted the machine was a Low Temperature dish washing machine and operated with wash
temperature expectation of 120 degrees F (Fahrenheit). and above, and with rinse temperature expectation
of 120 degrees F. and above. She further revealed the chemical sanitizer should always test between 50
and 100 Parts Per Million (PPM). The Dietary Manager pointed out that Dietary Aide Staff A was running
crates of dishes through the machine. An interview at that time with Staff A revealed she has been
operating the dish washing machine for awhile and was knowledgeable on how it needs to operate. Staff A
noted the machine operates with a wash cycle temperature of 120 degrees F., and with a rinse cycle
temperature of 120 degrees F. Staff A also noted that the machine has a chemical sanitizer that runs
through the machine and the sanitizer when tested, should read between 50 and 100 PPM. Staff A was
asked how she knew the machine was a Low Temperature dish washing machine and what the
temperature expectations were. She pointed at the front of the machine where there was a sticker that read;
Wash Cycle 120 degrees F., Rinse Cycle 120 degrees F. She also revealed she had been inserviced by the
dietary manager upon her hire date. She also confirmed she had been inserviced and educated on what
the chemical sanitizer should be between; which was 50 to 100 PPM.
At 9:17 a.m. on 4/8/2024 Staff A was asked to demonstrate the dish machine operation. She confirmed she
had ran several crates of dishes through the machine already and there was no need to prime the machine
to operate. After she pushed a crate of soiled dishes through the soiled side of the machine, the wash cycle
revealed a temperature of 120 degrees for over ten seconds. The machine clicked and the rinse cycle
revealed a temperature of 124 degrees F. for over ten seconds. The machine had an analog temperature
gauge attached to the lower front portion of it. The Dietary Manager brought over to the machine a small
cylindrical container with litmus paper test strips, (white in color). The Dietary Manager took out a white
colored test strip and opened the slot door to the clean side of the machine and dipped the test strip into an
internal water catch can. The strip was held for at least five seconds and when she brought the strip out
from the machine, the white color test strip was now a deep dark blue/purple color. She took the test strip
and placed it on the color legend on the cylindrical container and the color of the strip indicated the
sanitizer PPM was well over 100. The Dietary Manager confirmed the machine was allocating too much
chemical sanitizer, per the test strip read. Photographic evidence was taken of the test strip and the color
legend on the cylindrical container.
At 9:20 a.m. on 4/8/2024 Staff A was asked to do a second dish washing machine demonstration. Once she
ran another crate of soiled dishes through the soiled side of the dish machine, the wash cycle temperature
reached 123 degrees F. for over ten seconds, and the rinse cycle temperature reached 123 degrees F. for
over ten seconds. The Dietary Manager then lifted the door lid and placed another new white in color test
strip in the machine and placed it on a water spot on one of the clean dishes. The Dietary Manager held the
strip in place for about five seconds and then removed it. The test strip was observed to be a very dark
blue/purple in color and again, the strip indicated the sanitizer PPM was well over 100. The Dietary
Manager again confirmed the strip color was way to dark and she

Residents Affected - Many
would call the dish machine maintenance company to come out and take a look at the chemical sanitizer
delivery system. The Dietary Manger also confirmed she would need to wash all dishes by way of the three
compartment sink and they would also use paper and plastic for the next lunch meal service.
On 4/9/2024 at 8:30 a.m. the Dietary Manager provided a dish machine maintenance company work order
dated 4/8/2024, with a time of 7:21 p.m. The work order revealed; The chlorine sanitizer is reading too
strong, and the machine has been shut down until fixed. The service comments revealed; Adjusted the cam
timer to get the sanitizer at 75 PPM. The work order also included a pre work photo with a litmus paper
sanitizer test strip reading well over 100 PPM and a post work photo with a litmus paper sanitizer test strip
reading between 50 - 100 PPM.
The Dietary Manager provided the last two months (3/2024 and 4/2024) dish machine temperature log and
chemical sanitizer log for review. There were no indications the machine was not running correctly per the
review of those logs.
Further interview with Staff A at that time confirmed she had not tested the sanitizer this morning and did
not know the machine was putting out too much. She revealed she and other kitchen staff will usually test
the machine prior to washing dishes and then will document on the dish machine temperature log. She
confirmed she had been inserviced to do so, but had not done so this a.m.
On 4/11/2024 at 11:00 a.m. the Dietary Manager provided a photocopy of the dish washing machine
specification plate, located on the machine itself. The specification plate read; Minimum Wash temperature
120 degrees F., Minimum Rinse temperature 120 degrees F., and Minimum Chlorine Sanitizer 50 PPM.
Photographic evidence obtained.
On 4/11/2024 at 11:00 a.m. the Dietary Manager also provided the Dish Machine Temperature Log policy
and procedure with an effective date of 1/2021.
The policy revealed; To monitor dish machine temperatures and chemical saturation (parts per million PPM
for both high and low temperature machines at each meal prior to dishwashing to assure proper cleaning
and sanitizing of dishes.
The procedure continued;
1. Record month and year at the top of the form
2. Send an empty dish rack through the dish machine prior to recording temperature.
(a) This allows the water to reach the appropriate temperature.
(b) May take 3-4 times.
3. Record wash and rinse temperatures under appropriate meal column and initial.
4. Record chemical saturation level by indicating PPM using the appropriate litmus paper.
(a) Required for low temperature/chemical sanitizing dish machines only.
5. Report discrepancies from standard temperatures and chemical saturation to the Food Service
