Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of resident records and interviews with staff, the facility failed to conduct timely comprehensive
minimum data set (MDS) assessments and transmit assessments per the required timeframes for three
residents (#2, #35, #21) out of six residents reviewed for MDS, out of a total of 20 residents in the sample.
Findings included:A closed record review for Resident #2 revealed she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and discharged [DATE]. Minimum data set (MDS) assessments were completed as required on
3/28/25 and 3/31/25; however, neither assessment reflected an accepted status. Resident #35 was
admitted to the facility 2/12/25 and discharged [DATE]. The discharge MDS assessment was completed on
3/31/25 but was not submitted. Resident #21 was admitted on [DATE] and discharged on 3/10/25. The last
MDS assessment completed for her was 3/4/25. There was no discharge assessment completed. An
interview was conducted with the MDS Coordinator on 07/17/2025 at approximately 10:00 AM. She
reviewed the MDS Management Center reports and confirmed Resident #2's discharge assessment was
never submitted. She explained this resident's assessment dated [DATE] was an End of Stay Part A

Based on observations, staff interviews, and facility record review, the facility failed to 1. Ensure staff
completed hand hygiene between soiled dish handling and receiving of clean dishes when operating the
dish washing machine, and 2. Ensure liquids such as milk were held at a temperature of 40 degrees
Fahrenheit (F) and below prior to serving to residents.Findings included: 1.On 7/14/2025 at 10:25 a.m. the
kitchen was toured with Staff A, Dietary Manager. He revealed he had a full complementary staff to support
the thirty-three residents who resided at the facility and that all his Dietary Staff were trained and
in-serviced on subject matters to include use and sanitation of food preparation equipment, personal
hygiene, food sanitation, and kitchen cleaning operations. He revealed he, along with most of his staff are
Serve Safe certified, which includes the knowledge of Kitchen/Food Sanitation. Staff A, Dietary Manager
revealed the kitchen operates a High Temperature dish washing machine and revealed it is maintained by
an outsourced maintenance company. He confirmed there had not been any recent concerns with the
machine and he receives the proper soaps/detergents and supplies to run the machine effectively. Staff A,
Dietary Manager revealed the machine, as a High Temperature dish washing machine, and per the
machine's specifications, it should operate with a wash temperature of over 165 degrees Fahrenheit and
above, and a rinse temperature of over 190 degrees Fahrenheit and above. Observations of the machine's
metal specification plate attached to the undercarriage of the machine revealed a wash temperature to
reach at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit and above, and a rinse temperature to reach 180 degrees
Fahrenheit and above. A wash cycle demonstration was asked to be performed by staff. Staff A, Dietary
Manager, revealed Staff D, [NAME] was the operator of the machine this morning. Staff D, [NAME] was
asked how he operates the machine. Prior to Staff D, [NAME] being asked about the machine, he was
observed to handle many soiled trays of eating ware with his bare hands, as well as touching soiled
breakfast meal tray carts with his bare hands. Staff D, [NAME] was the only staff member who was
observed in the dish machine room and had been observed operating the machine while Staff A, Dietary
Manager, was interviewed just five minutes before. Staff D, [NAME] revealed the facility operates a High
Temperature dish washing machine and he has been adequately trained on the use of the machine. He
also denied any recent concerns with the machine, and he responded that the wash temperature should
reach over 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and the final wash cycle should reach at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Staff D, [NAME] was then asked to perform a demonstration on how to operate the dish washing machine.
Staff D, [NAME] then grabbed a metal sheet tray with his unwashed bare hands, pre rinsed the tray with a
water spray down, then placed the tray in the dish washing machine. He then closed the door with his bare
hands and the machine operated with both wash and rinse cycle. The machine's wash and rinse cycle met
the machine's wash and rinse temperature criteria and then stopped. Staff D, [NAME] then opened the door
of the machine and grabbed the metal sheet tray with his bare unwashed hands and placed it in a clean dry
storage area. Staff D, [NAME] was the only staff member to utilize the machine during this observed tour
time and he continued to handle soiled eating ware to include plates, eating utensils, pans, cups, and bowls
with his soiled hands, pre rinsed said eating ware and placed in empty crates and then pushed the crates
through the soiled side of the dish washing machine. Each time the machine was completed with its
wash/rinse operation, he would then open the door with his soiled bare hands and pull the crate out and
handle all the cleaned eating ware/cooking ware with his unwashed bare hands. Staff D, [NAME] was
observed operating the machine by himself, feeding soiled eating ware in the machine and grabbing the
cleaned eating ware with his unwashed bare hands for a period of at least ten minutes. Staff A, Dietary

room and was performing dish washing tasks by himself. Staff B, Dietary Aide, was observed handling and
touching soiled dishes, eating utensils, eating ware with his bare hands and scraping and rinsing those
dishes and eating ware with his bare hands as well as doing a pre rinse at the sink next to the soiled side of
the dish washing machine. He continued to take the pre rinsed eating dishes and eating ware with his bare
hands and placed them in empty plastic crates. Staff B, Dietary Aide, was observed to push the soiled
crates of eating ware, and other equipment through the soiled side of the machine and closed the
machine's door. After the machine completed its wash and rinse cycle, Staff B, Dietary Aide then opened
the machine's door with his unwashed bare hands and pulled the crate out and handled each individual
piece and placed them in a drying or clean storage area. Staff B, Dietary Aide, was noted to do this same
cycle of feeding soiled eating ware with his unwashed bare hands, placing them in the machine and
grabbing all the cleaned eating ware with the same unwashed bare hands for at least five cycles or at least
ten minutes. When Staff B, Dietary Aide, was asked if he knew what type of dishwashing machine he
operates, he could not say whether it was a High Temperature or Low Temperature machine and, could only

the dish machine room. The soiled dishes are then placed on a metal trough and at a sink, where soiled
dishes are scrapped and rinsed of food debris.The dishes/eating utensils/eating ware are then placed in a
plastic crate rack and pushed through the dish washing machine. The door to the dish washing machine is
then closed and by closing the door, the machine will start and operate both wash and rinse functions. After
the machine is finished with both washing and rinsing, the machine's door is lifted up. At this time, staff
operating the machine should be washing their hands prior to touching and receiving the washed items.
Staff, after placing soiled rack of dishes/eating ware/eating utensils in the dish machine, should walk over to
the nearest hand washing sink and wash their hands appropriately prior to touching cleaned dishes/eating
ware/eating utensils. While Staff A, Dietary Manager was explaining the dish machine operations, Staff C,
Dietary Aide was observed to place an empty tray rack on the floor, walked away from the dish machine
room, handled other boxes and items, walked back to the dish machine room and then grabbed a crate of
clean eating utensils and picked up individual forks, knives, spoons with her bare hands. She then placed
them in another clean container. Staff C, Dietary Aide, left the dish machine room and pushed away soiled
tray carts that were brought in from the unit/hallways. These carts had soiled trays that were brought back
in from the breakfast meal service. She then walked back into the dish machine room and grabbed an
already cleaned rack of dishes with her bare unwashed hands and then removed plates with her bare
hands and placed them in another storage area. It was found Staff C, Dietary Aide, did not wash her hands
after touching soiled eating ware and soiled equipment and before touching clean eating ware and eating
equipment several times within a span of at least five minutes. Staff A, Dietary Manager, confirmed Staff C,
