F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through support of resident choice. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. An interview was conducted with Resident #154 on 03/28/22 at 11:35 AM. Resident #154 stated he was lactose intolerant. Resident #154 stated he likes to get the facility's fruit and cottage cheese platter, but they do not offer him a lactose-free cottage cheese as requested. Record review revealed Resident #154 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. An admission comprehensive assessment documented Resident #154 as cognitively intact. A review of Resident #154's food preferences, dated 03/11/22, documented the resident had a dislike for dairy, and to serve menu alternate. A review of Resident #154's food preferences, dated 03/29/22, documented a supplement / preference for non-dairy foods / beverages for the resident. A review of Resident #154's orders revealed an order dated 03/31/22 for Lactaid tablet every 4 hours as needed for lactose intolerance to be given with meals that contain dairy. Further review of Resident #154's record did not reveal any documentation of why the resident's food preferences documented on 03/11/22 were not followed. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 04/01/22 at 2:00 PM. The DON did not know why the resident's food preferences documented on 03/11/22 were not followed. Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to have provisions of eggs cooked to order as menu suggests with the potential to affect all 45 residents, and the facility failed to honor a resident's choice of a lactose free diet for 1 of 18 sampled residents (Resident #154). The findings included: 1. Review of the approved 7-week cycle menus showed that egg of choice was offered as a daily breakfast option. During an observation conducted on 03/29/22 at 1:22 PM, it was noted that the walk-in cooler contained pasteurized liquid eggs and unpasteurized shell eggs. The Sous Chef stated that the pasteurized liquid eggs were used for the nursing home and that the unpasteurized shell eggs were used for the assisted living facility / independent living sections within the campus.

In an interview conducted on 03/29/22 at 1:59 PM, the Executive Chef stated that the facility has been unable to obtain pasteurized shell eggs. According to him, the residents would only receive pasteurized liquid eggs as they were not sending the unpasteurized shell eggs to the Nursing Home residents. The Executive Chef stated, We used to send them eggs sunny side up when we had pasteurized shell eggs, but we are not sending things like that now. If someone ordered sunny side up eggs, then we tell them that they can't order things like that now. In an interview conducted on 03/30/22 at 12:00 PM, the Executive Chef was asked when he last received pasteurized shell eggs. The Executive Chef stated, I last received them 1 truck delivery or so ago. He further stated that he usually gets 2 truck deliveries per week. According to him, if Staff B, Cook, received an order for undercooked eggs, she would not provide the resident with their choice and would send the eggs to the resident fully cooked. In an interview conducted on 03/30/22 at 12:08 PM, Staff D, Dietary Aide (DA), stated that when delivering meal trays, the dietary aides would tell the residents that they were out of their selected egg of choice. She further stated that an alternate would be provided instead. Review of the Sysco Purchase Order showed that large pasteurized shell eggs were delivered to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Sysco (wholesale food distributor) invoice dated 03/25/22 showed that medium unpasteurized shell eggs were ordered and out of stock. Further review of the Sysco invoice dated 03/25/22 showed that large unpasteurized shell eggs were substituted and delivered to the facility on [DATE]. During an interview conducted on 03/30/22 at 12:16 PM, the Executive Chef stated that he last received pasteurized shell eggs on 03/01/22.

During an interview conducted on 03/30/22 at 12:39 PM, the Registered Dietitian (RD) stated, I think they only do scrambled eggs and omelets. I've been working for the facility since 2014 and I've never seen them undercooked. During an interview conducted on 03/31/22 at 7:27 AM, Staff B stated that she worked in the facility Monday through Friday and was responsible for preparing breakfast and lunch for the nursing home. Staff B-Cook further stated that she did not use unpasteurized shell eggs and that the facility used liquid pasteurized eggs for their recipes. Staff B stated that she was aware the unpasteurized shell eggs were in the walk-in cooler but only used liquid pasteurized eggs. She further stated, I know I'm only supposed to use pasteurized eggs for upstairs. When asked what egg of choice meant, Staff B stated it meant boiled, scrambled, or omelet. At this time, the Dining Services Director stated that they did not prepare or offer undercooked egg options even with pasteurized shell eggs. He further stated, We do not do soft boiled eggs either. The Dining Services Director then acknowledged that the approved breakfast menus needed to be updated.

F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some In an interview conducted on 03/31/22 at 10:05 AM, the RD stated that she approved the facility's menus annually. When asked what egg of choice meant, she stated, It should be egg chef choice because we don't allow long term care residents to choose eggs, we only provide them with scrambled. I don't know why it's signed with egg of choice when we offer scrambled. Our menus have always been like that. When asked about her expectations of the menu when it says egg of choice but residents are only offered scrambled. She stated, I don't know how to answer that. I'm not sure how to answer the verbiage, I can call the corporate office and see how they would like me to answer that. When asked about ordering food items for the kitchen, she stated that the Executive Chef and Dining Services Director were responsible. When asked about the unpasteurized shell eggs, she stated, In regards to this week, I know they threw away unpasteurized eggs. They should only be purchasing pasteurized eggs. In an interview conducted on 03/31/22 at 10:39 AM, the Executive Chef stated that he must have been the one who placed the order for the unpasteurized shell eggs that were delivered on 03/25/22. When asked about ordering, he stated that they order based on the product number listed on the order guide. The surveyor informed the Executive Chef that the product number on the order guide for the shell eggs did not reflect pasteurized shell eggs. The Executive Chef then stated that he did not remember if he ordered pasteurized shell eggs. Review of the Sysco invoices dated October 2021 - March 2022 showed that unpasteurized shell eggs were delivered to the facility on [DATE], 10/26/21, 11/09/21, 11/19/21, 02/08/22, and 03/25/22.

Review of the Sysco Purchase Order dated 11/09/21 showed that medium unpasteurized shell eggs were ordered. Review of the Sysco Purchase Order dated 11/19/21 showed that no shell eggs had been ordered. Review of the Sysco Purchase Order dated 02/08/22 showed that medium pasteurized shell eggs were ordered and substituted for large unpasteurized shell eggs. Review of the Sysco Purchase Order dated 03/25/22 documented that medium unpasteurized shell eggs were ordered and substituted for large unpasteurized shell eggs. This showed that the facility did not place orders for pasteurized shell eggs in order to accommodate egg of choice as listed on the approved breakfast menus. During an interview conducted on 03/31/22 at 4:07 PM, Staff D-DA and Staff E-Dietary Supervisor were asked what they do when a resident orders soft boiled, sunny side up, poached, or undercooked eggs. Staff E stated, We really don't serve that, it's usually just what's on the menu when it says scrambled eggs. I've never allowed them to order sunny side up or poached eggs. When asked about eggs of choice, she stated that they offered omelets and eggs with cheese. When asked what types of eggs the residents could receive, they stated, Scrambled eggs, omelet, egg and cheese. Soft boiled, poached, sunny side up is not on the menu. 105851 Page 3 of 14 105851 04/01/2022 Stratford Court of Boca Raton 6343 via DE Sonrisa Del Sur Boca Raton, FL 33433
