F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on food service observations, staff interviews, facility document review, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the main kitchen by following proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness. Unsafe food handling practices represent a potential source of pathogen exposure. Failure to maintain sanitary food preparation can potentially put the residents at risk for foodborne illness. The findings include: During observations of the kitchen and lunch meal service on 11/07/23 from 10:35 am to 12:55 pm, the following was observed: Employee H was observed on the clean side of the dish machine emptying trays of clean dishes as they came out of the dish machine, she had no gloves on. The dish machine was observed to be a low temperature dish machine with chlorine bleach as the sanitizing agent. From 10:35 am to 11:00 am, Employee H went back and forth between the clean and dirty side of the dish room loading and unloading the trays without washing her hands. As the dishes were cleaned and came out of the machine on the conveyor belt, she took the trays and emptied them, stacking the dishes up on a shelf. The dishes were not allowed to air dry. The stainless steel-utensils used by the residents were not allowed to air dry. They were dumped into another tray and taken to the kitchen. At 11:45 am, the registered dietician and dietary staff were observed wrapping the wet utensils in napkins and placing them on food trays for service. At 11:00 am, the Staffing Coordinator, Employee K, was observed working in the dish room loading dirty dishes onto dish machine trays. Employee H was observed going to the dirty side of the dish room and putting dirty dishes on a tray. She then returned to the clean side of the room and continued unloading dishes without washing her hands. At 11:10 am, Employee H was asked to test the sanitizer level in the dish machine. She stated she needed to get the test strips and left the dish room. She returned and tested the water on a cup that had just been washed. The test strip remained white indicating 0 parts per million (ppm) of bleach in the water. She took another test strip and tried again by placing the test strip on the back of an insulated dome cover. The test strip remained white indicating 0 ppm. (Photographic evidence obtained) She stated she did not understand why the test strip did not turn blue. She tested the machine this morning when she came to work. Employee H referred to the log on a clip board hanging on the wall. The log read 50 ppm for the date 11/07/23. She then asked the other dietary aide, Employee G, for assistance. Employee G came over to the dish machine and took the bucket of chlorine bleach out from under the machine and stated that the bucket was empty. Employee H went and got another bucket (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm and Employee G inserted the hose into the new bucket and showed Employee H how to do it. She placed the new bucket of chlorine bleach under the machine and went back to her task. Employee H continued to run the machine. At 11:22 am, she was asked to test the machine again. She tested it using a test strip and the test strip remained white. When asked what she was trained to do, she stated she was going to inform the CDM and left the dish room. Residents Affected - Many At 11:25 am, the DM entered the dish room and tested the water with a test strip. The test strip remained white. (Photographic evidence obtained) He then primed the machine at the top of the machine where the hose from the bucket of chlorine bleach enters the machine and ran a load of dishes. He tested the water and the test strip indicated 200+ ppm. The DM stated that the test strip was very dark and there was a lot of bleach in the water now. It was probably due to having just primed it. He confirmed that 200+ ppm was a toxic level of bleach, and he would keep an eye on it. At 11:40 am, black biological growth was observed on the interior surfaces of the ice machine. Black biological growth and dust debris was observed on the air vents over the food preparation table and the smoke alarm in the center of the ceiling in the kitchen. Black biological growth was observed on the gaskets and interior of the milk cooler. Food debris was observed on the inside of the cooler and the bottom of the milk cooler was wet with slimy black liquid with a spoon lying in it.

(Photographic evidence obtained) The drawers of the service tables were observed to have food debris in the bottoms. Utensils in the drawers were not clean and had food debris stuck on them. Missing and broken floor tiles were in front of the prep sink, at the entry way of the kitchen, and throughout the kitchen. The tray carts were dirty clean with food debris stuck on them.

Two large chopping knives and a long-serrated knife were observed lying on the window sill at the back of the kitchen. The chopping knives were lying on top of cooking gloves and the serrated knife was lying on the sill itself. At 11:50 am, the DM went to the sill and took serrated knife down. He took it to the prep table and proceeded to use it. He did not clean it prior to use. (Photographic evidence obtained) At 11:52 am, when asked why the knives were stored in such a manner, the DM shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and stated, I don't know.

F 0812 evidence obtained) Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The shelves in the walk-in cooler had a buildup of food debris and the cooler walls had black biological growth on them. Under the shelves there were discarded cardboard food wrappers and food debris. A large sleeve of sliced cheese was uncovered, open to the air with no date mark on it. (Photographic evidence obtained) Residents Affected - Many At 12:00 pm, the ADM was observed to don a pair of disposable gloves without washing her hands and started to plate the food for the lunch.

She did not change the contaminated gloves or wash her hands and don new gloves. At 12:40 pm, the DM stated he did not have enough staff to do the deep cleaning that needed to be done in the kitchen. He confirmed that the ADM should doff disposable gloves after contaminating them and then wash her hands with soap and water prior to donning a pair of new gloves. The DM stated he would provide an in-service for the staff who operate the dish machine to make sure they are monitoring the level of sanitizer and that the machine is functioning properly. During an interview with the Administrator on 11/07/2023 at 2:00 pm, she produced the Quality Assurance Committee Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) from the prior recertification survey when the facility had been cited for deficiencies in the kitchen. The Administrator stated that the PIP was still ongoing even though the plan was only for the three months after the survey to ensure the deficiencies were corrected.

She explained that the facility contracts for maintenance of the ice machine and the vendor last cleaned the machine on 09/14/2023. The Administrator stated the dietary staff clean the machine once a month, but she was unable to produce a log showing the cleaning had been done.
