At 10:00 a.m., an observation was conducted of the reach-in refrigerator and revealed that there was no temperature gauge located inside the refrigerator to take accurate temperatures. Next to the refrigerator was the reach-in freezer which stored ice cream and frozen desserts. The reach in freezer did not have a temperature gauge located inside of it to take accurate temperatures. An observation of the temperature logs outside the reach-in refrigerator and reach-in freezer revealed that for the month of June 2021, the temperature logs for both had not been completed for the morning shift since 6/22/21 and the afternoon shift had not been completed since 6/25/2021.

The manufacturer specifications on the side of the machine revealed that for [model number], the minimum wash and rinse temperatures were to be at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. An interview was conducted on 06/28/2021 at 10:32 a.m., with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). During the interview she was informed that the dish machine, with chemical sanitizer was not operating according to the manufacturer's specifications. The NHA indicated that she understood that the safety of the facility residents was important and that she would cease all kitchen staff from using the kitchen dish machine. She stated, I'm finding the Maintenance Director to see if it is a hot water heater problem, and we have paper plates to use if we need to. During a later interview with the NHA at 11:02 a.m., she revealed that the Maintenance Director adjusted the hot water heater, and that the facility called [name of the dish machine company] to come out to the facility to service the equipment. The NHA also revealed that the facility would serve all meals using disposable plates, utensils and cups until the dish machine was fixed. An interview was conducted with the Operations Consultant and the District Manager on 06/28/2021 at 12:55 p.m. Both confirmed that the dish machine was not operating correctly. The Operations Consultant stated I told the staff not to do any ware washing in the dishwasher till we get it repaired.

A schedule for using the dish machine only and not running other water sources in the kitchen was made. The three compartment sink also had a schedule for use. He further indicated that either a separate stand-alone heater needed to be purchased since the dish machine did not have an internal heating source, or the facility would find an alternative solution to heat the dish machine as well as maintain hot water sources throughout the kitchen. 5. During the comprehensive kitchen assessment conducted on 6/30/2021 at 11:41 a.m., it was observed that Staff B, while working on the food line, did not have on gloves.
