Resident #341 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #341 had a medical history significant for a
stroke, atrial fibrillation, depression, muscle weakness, and a deep tissue injury to her right heel.
Review of clinical records revealed the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], documented
Resident #341 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 6, which indicates Resident #341 had
moderate cognitive impairment. There was a Care Plan in place regarding Resident #341 having impaired

for Venelex Ointment (a wound healing ointment) to be used every other day on Resident #341's right heel
for the deep tissue injury. There was also an order in place from 10/31/22 to 11/14/22 for Triple Antibiotic
Ointment (a wound healing ointment) to be used two times daily on Resident #341's left leg for a skin tear.
However, there were no orders found for wound care treatments for Resident #341's forearm wounds.
An Initial Skin/Wound Note was written on 10/22/22 at 3:12 PM. This note documented the following: Today
[Resident #341] in bed at room, assessment done head to toes, observed puncture to left arm, bruises to
bilateral arm, skin tear to bilateral arms following by nursing, scar to bilateral leg and right hip, DTI [deep
tissue injury] to right heel, treatment done with venelex every other day, continue skin check daily, family

by the transportation staff when Resident #341 was brought to the facility from the hospital on [DATE]. He
stated Resident #341 was being followed by the wound care team and that they were responsible for caring
for all of her wounds.
An interview was conducted with Staff B and Staff C, the facility Wound Care Nurses on 11/15/22 at 10:20
AM. Staff B and Staff C both stated Resident #341 had treatment orders for her leg wound and heel wound,
but not for the forearm wounds. Staff B stated the nursing team was caring for the forearm wounds.
Based on these interviews, the lack of wound care for Resident #341's forearm wounds appears to be due
to a lack of communication between the nursing team and the wound care team.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute
and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food safety that include; maintenance of
refrigeration units, holding of foods at regulatory temperatures, proper thawing of foods, and preparation of
foods within clean areas.
The findings included:
1) During the initial kitchen/food service sanitation tour conducted on 11/07/22 at 9 AM with the Certified
Dietary Manager (CDM) , the following were noted:
(a) Prior to entering the kitchen it was noted that 3 large uncovered carts full of used resident trays were
located outside the kitchen. Specifically the trays were from the resident's breakfast meal of 11/7/22 and the
garbage and trash was exposed to the area areas. The surveyor requested to the CDM that all
garbage/trash inside of the facility must be covered as per regulation
(b) The ice cream freezer was noted to have a thick build up of ice within the inside parameter of the unit.
The surveyor requested that the unit was not being maintained properly and that removal of the ice was
required.
(c) Observation of the walk-in freezer noted a large tear tear (approximately 10 inches) to the door gasket.
The CDM was unaware of the issue and the surveyor requested repair to ensure proper temperature
maintenance.
(d) Observation of the reach-in refrigerator ( #1 and #2) noted large tears to the door gaskets. The CDM
was unaware of the issue and the surveyor requested repair to ensure proper temperature maintenance.
(e) Observation of the food preparation skillets noted that the interior Teflon surface was being scraped off
as a result of continued use. it was discussed with the CDM that each time the skillets were being used for
food preparation that particles of the Teflon finish are being scrapped off resulting on potential food
contamination .
2) During the observation of the breakfast tray line in the main kitchen on 11/08/22 at 7 AM, temperatures
of foods were taken by the CDM with the facility's calibrated bayonet thermometer. The temperature testing
noted that hot foods were not being held at the minimum regulatory requirement of 135 degrees F or above
as evidenced by :
Boiled Eggs (12 ) = 120 degrees F
French Toast (40 portions) = 115 degrees F
Sausage Links (30 ) = 110 degrees F
Grits (24 portions ) = 120 degrees F
Cafe Con Leche (24 portions) = 120 degrees F

The surveyor requested that these hot foods not be served to the facility residents until heated to the
regulatory requirement for holding of hot foods that included a minimum 135 degrees F.
3) During a third observation of the main kitchen on 11/14/22 at 11:30 AM, it was noted that approximately
50 pounds of packaged raw chicken was located in the preparation sink. Further observation noted that the
chicken was resting in a full sink of hot water. NO cold water was noted to be running over the chicken.
Interview with the CDM and cook (Staff L) noted that the chicken was being defrosted for the evening meal.
The surveyor informed the CDM that required thawing of perishable food was not being conducted.
Specifically it was reviewed that maximum cold water must be flowing onto the surface of all the chicken.
The surveyor requested that the temperature of the raw chicken be taken with the facility's calibrated
thermometer and was recorded at 70 degrees F. The cook (Staff L) also stated she was unaware of the
regulations for safe thawing of perishable foods. The surveyor stated to the CDM that the chicken should
not be used due to the potential of food borne illness, however the CDM had already made the decision to
discard the raw chicken.
4) Observation conducted on 11/14/22 at 2 1:15 PM noted that the dinner trays (approximately 120) were
being set up with silverware, napkins, condiments, clean drinking cups, etc. in the soiled service hallway
that houses the Laundry Department, Central Supply department and entrance /exit for employees . It was
noted that the service hallway contains containers of soiled linens, numerous cleaning chemicals, and
soiled commercial cleaning equipment (vacuums and floor clearing equipment). It was further noted that a
soiled commercial vacuum was resting directly against a clean tray set up cart. The CDM was asked to
observe the issue and stated that he was unaware that the resident food trays were being set up in the dirty
service hallway .
