F 0812 Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to discard expired food in the kitchen. Residents Affected - Few Findings: On 4/24/23 at 11:20 AM, a tour of the kitchen was conducted with the Dietetic Technician, Registered. The dry food storage had four single serving 7.25-ounce cans of chicken noodle soup with an expiration date of 2/23/2023. Below those four cans was another carton containing 24 single serving 7.25-ounce cans of cream of chicken soup with the same outdated expiration date. The Dietetic Technician stated they do not really use that supply and instructed a dietary aide to discard the expired soups. On 4/26/23 at 9:37 AM, the Dietetic Technician stated the cans of soup were discarded and the others were checked for expiration dates. She explained the soups were single serving cans and only used if a resident requested soup. She acknowledged she could not be absolutely certain whether or not any of the expired soups had been used since the expiration date. Review of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code 2017 documented, Manufacturer's use-by dates is not the intent of this provision to give a product an extended shelf life beyond that intended by the manufacturer. Manufacturers assign a date to products for various reasons, and spoilage may or may not occur before pathogen growth renders the product unsafe. The manufacturer's use-by date is its recommendation for using the product while its quality is at its best. Although it is a guide for quality, it could be based on food safety reasons. It is recommended that food establishments consider the manufacturer's information as good guidance to follow to maintain the quality (taste, smell, and appearance) and salability of the product. If the product becomes inferior quality-wise due to time in storage, it is possible that safety concerns are not far behind. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission comprehensive assessment with Assessment Reference Date 4/16/2023 identified the resident was unable to complete the Brief Interview for Mental Status and noted the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The assessment indicated the resident did not exhibit any rejection of evaluation or care necessary for health and well-being. He required extensive staff assistance to eat and complete activities of daily living and was totally dependent on staff for transfers, locomotion, toilet use, and bathing. The assessment showed there were no special treatments for Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech Therapy (ST), or Restorative Nursing services provided during the look back period. The care plan completed 4/10/2022 included a Therapy Plan of Care for PT, OT, and ST services.

Review of the therapy progress note dated 4/11/23 and 4/25/23 showed Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) A completed a note that a speech therapy screening had been completed and that a further ST evaluation was required. On 4/25/2023 at 9:06 AM, the resident was observed in the memory care unit common area sitting in a wheelchair at a table being assisted by staff to eat his breakfast. The resident was noted to be coughing while attempting to eat. On 4/27/2023 at 10:30 AM, SLP A said she completed resident #239's speech therapy screen on 4/11/2023 and determined the resident required further evaluation. She stated she completed the evaluation on 4/25/2023 when she observed the resident coughing while swallowing medications and eating. She explained she was concerned the resident had a high risk for aspiration, and she recommended a downgrade of his food texture to mechanically altered on 4/25/23. She explained an unidentified decline in residents' swallowing abilities could cause aspiration pneumonia. She explained she typically completed resident evaluations within 2 days after screening, and she did not explain why resident #239's evaluation was delayed for 14 days. She conveyed it was best clinical practice to complete them, right away. A review of the therapy progress notes showed resident #239 was screened for Physical Therapy on 4/25/23, twelve days after the physician's order. The screening noted a further evaluation was required. The record did not show an Occupational Therapy screening assessment was completed.
