Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure the dishwashing machine
was operating properly. This has the potential to affect 218 who ate by mouth out of 237 residents who
reside in the facility at the time of survey.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
On 02/06/2023 at 1:09 PM during the first observation of the dishwashing in progress revealed the
dishwashing machine was a [ brand] multi tank machine high temp sanitization. The three temperature
gauges was noted with the following temperature readings - Wash was noted at 155 degrees Fahrenheit (F)
instead of 150 F. Rinse was noted at 170 F (supposed to be 165 F) The final rinse was noted at 110 F
(supposed to be 180 F). (Photographic evidence)
On 02/06/2023 at 11:40 AM, the Dietary Manager stated that for a few months they were already providing
the residents with disposables cups for cold and hot drinks. The Dietary Manager explain this was done
because when the dish machine runs for extensive periods of time the power goes off, thus the reason the
facility decides to wash only the plates, silver wear, and bowls for the soup and the facility was using
disposable cups and glasses. They are working on the electrical systems. As soon as they fix it, we will start
using the regular cups and glasses.
On 02/06/2023 at 01:15 PM, the Dietary Manager stated, when the problem started the Administrator has
been in charge of getting electricians to come and check, but up to now they had not fixed it.
On 02/06/2023 at 01:18 PM, the Administrator stated, that the dish machine has been giving some
problems a few days ago but the Director of Maintenance, would have more information about that.
On 02/07/2023 at 09:35 AM during the second observation the Dishwashing was in progress. It was noted
that the [ brand] multi tank machine high temp sanitization dishwashing machine temperature gauge for the
wash temperature was 160 F (supposed to be 150 F), gauge for rinse was noted at 175 F (supposed to be
165 F) and the gauge for final rinse was noted at 190 F (supposed to be 180 F).
On 02/07/2023 at 09:40 AM, the Dietary Manager stated that the day before the final rinse temperature was
low because a switch, the Buster, was off and they did not check it before they started the cycle to wash the
dishes.
On 02/07/2023 at 09:54 AM the Maintenance Director, stated that he has been working in the facility for
eleven months already. The problem with the dish washing machine is due to an overload in the buildings'
electricity. There is a project going on with the electricity and the city. This issue with the dishwashing
machine has been ongoing for around two months, since then the facility has been trying to fix it.
Record review revealed the electrician invoice showed that the work was completed on 12/2022 but the
problem still existed.

notes dated 12/30/2022 with start time 10:30 AM and adjourned time 11:30 AM revealed, residents were
informed that the facility continues to use disposable utensils during mealtimes due to dishwasher currently
not working. Residents understood and did not share any concerns with the information shared with them.
Review of the facility's policies and procedures revealed: Guideline: The dining service staff shall maintain
the operation of the dishwashing machine according to established procedure and manufacturer guidelines
posted or contained in guideline to ensure effective cleaning and sanitizing of all tableware and equipment
used in the preparation and service of food. Procedure:
1. All dishwashing machines should be operated according to manufacturer recommendations. Tableware,
utensils, and pots and pans should be cleaned and sanitized in either a high-temperature dishwashing
machine that uses hot water, or chemical-sanitizing dishwashing machine that uses a chemical sanitizing
solution.
2. Check the dishwashing machine before first use. If the dishwashing machine has not been used several
hours, it is generally recommended to allow the dishwashing machine to cycle for one or two cycles to allow
dishwashing machine to come up to proper function.
3. If the machine is found to be out of the acceptable range for either final rinse temperature or proper
chemical sanitizing concentration, do not proceed to wash dishes. Empty dishwashing machine, check
nozzle and empty bottom screen and restart the dishwashing machine.
4. If the dishwashing machine cannot be repaired in timely manner, the facility will utilize the manual
dishwashing procedure. Paper good may be used as a temporary measure until the dishwashing machine
is repaired.
