Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to maintain food safety requirements with storage, preparation, and distribution in accordance with professional standards for food service safety which included: failure to maintain sanitary conditions and failure to maintain adequate holding temperatures. The findings included: During the initial tour of the kitchen conducted on 01/10/22 at 8:44 AM, accompanied by Staff J, Cook, Regional Registered Dietitian (RD), and Food Service Director (FSD), the following was noted: 1. During the breakfast tray line, Staff M, Diet Aide, placed her bare hands in her pockets. She then removed her hands from her pockets and proceeded to touch clean utensils and place them on meal trays without performing hand hygiene. Staff N, Diet Aide, was observed grabbing a plate of food with her bare hands to place on the meal tray. It was noted that her thumb had touched the top of the plate. 2. During the breakfast tray line, a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast was observed on the counter above the hot holding unit when the surveyors entered the kitchen. At the request of the surveyors, Staff J calibrated the facility's metal stemmed thermometer to check the temperature of the eggs. When asked what temperature the thermometer should be calibrated to, Staff J stated that it needed to be calibrated to 40 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The thermometer reached 40 degrees F and Staff J stated that the thermometer was ready to use. The surveyor informed Staff J that the thermometer needed to be calibrated to 32 degrees F. Staff J then calibrated the facility's metal stemmed thermometer to 32 degrees F and checked the temperature of the eggs, which were noted at 110 degrees F. This showed that the eggs were not at the regulatory temperature of 135 degrees F or above. Staff J stated that the plate had just been placed on the counter right before the surveyors had entered the kitchen. 3. A personal cell phone was observed on a shelf of the hot holding unit. Staff J stated that the cell phone belonged to her and that she placed it there because it had fallen out of her pocket. 4. A personal umbrella was observed on the shelf above the preparation table in the back area.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Review of facility policy and procedure for Laundry Services provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed 07/2021, revealed that soiled linen has been shown to be a source of large numbers of pathogenic organisms. The risk of actual disease transmission is negligible if handled, transported and laundered in a manner that minimizes exposure or contamination and avoids transfer of microorganisms. Techniques minimizing potential healthcare associated and occupational risks associated with soiled linen handling include: use containers for wet laundry collection made of impervious material to prevent soaking or leakage of fluid to exterior Linen Handling Practices: place soiled linen in a bag at the site of use Bags and containers of soiled linen are considered contaminated Sorting of linen is most likely associated with infection transmission due to: Other infractions of precautions Store linen in a protected area until distributed for patient use. Residents Affected - Few During a Laundry Room tour conducted with the Director of Housekeeping and Laundry on 01/11/22 at 10 AM, 1) it was noted/observed in the dirty side laundry sorting room, that there were two (2) open bags of resident clothing, from the facility's [NAME] unit, sitting on top of two (2) closed personal clothing bins. These open bags were identified as being handled in an unsecured/un-contained/disorderly manner; there was no one noted in the room sorting out this linen at the time and there was no way to determine how long this linen had been kept there previously. 2) Next, in the washing room, it was noted that there was a clear open, dirty bag of resident laundry left on top of a regular top loading washing machine, next to a batch/stack of exposed/contaminated, unboxed gloves. Photographic evidence obtained of laundry sorting room, open bags of resident clothing and dirty bag of resident laundry/bedding, next to a batch/stack of exposed/contaminated, unboxed gloves. During an interview conducted on 01/11/22 at 10:45 AM, the Housekeeping Director acknowledged that the clothing bags should have been closed and placed inside of the bins and not exposed. The Housekeeping Director also acknowledged that the unboxed gloves should be/are normally kept, inside of a clean box on top of the shelf, and not next to dirty resident clothing. On 01/11/22 at 12:28 PM an interview was conducted with both the Administrator and with the (DON) in which they both acknowledged the existence of the open dirty resident laundry clothing bags in the sorting area. They also acknowledged that the contaminated/un-boxed gloves should not have been left lying on top of the machine, in the wash area, next to a bag of open, dirty resident bedding/clothing; this was not done. Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility staff failed to follow infection control isolation precautions for positive COVID-19 Resident (#22); the facility failed to assure that isolation precautions were being followed for Resident with Clostridium Difficile colitis (C.Diff) (Resident #76); facility failed to ensure that orders were provided for PICC line on Resident #90, and the facility failed to properly contain dirty laundry in the sorting room. The findings included: A review of the CDC guidance, titled Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Healthcare Personnel During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic, which was updated Sept. 10, 2021, showed the following: Health Care Professional (HCP) who enter the room of a patient with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection should adhere to Standard Precautions and use a NIOSH-approved N95 or equivalent or higher-level respirator, gown, gloves, and eye protection (i.e., (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105481 If continuation sheet Page 22 of 28 Printed: 05/28/2026 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 105481 B.
