should be documented. Surveyor asked V6 as a nurse caring for the residents, what's the importance of
knowing or being able to find their code status. V6 stated, It's important to know whether to apply medical
intervention to resuscitate a resident or not. V6 stated, the physician is contacted for orders when admitted
or readmitted to facility, and that nurse will put in the code status order as a telephone order into the
resident's EMR upon the physician approving the orders.
On [DATE] at 11:33 am, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that the social services staff speak to
residents about the advance directives form, called a Physician Order for Life Sustaining Treatment
(POLST) form. V2 stated, if a resident doesn't complete a POLST form, the resident is then a full code
status. V2 stated, In (facility's EMR system), in each resident's profile screen, nurses look on the resident
file to see the code (status). When asked how the code status on the resident's profile screen in the EMR is
documented, V2 stated that it's generated in the EMR by the physician order

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents' food items in
the facility kitchen are properly labeled, dated when received and when opened, and a food package is
securely sealed after opening. The facility failed to discard expired food items; failed to store drink items 6
inches off the floor; failed to ensure staff store their food and drinks out of the facility kitchen used for
residents. The facility failed to maintain the proper sanitation levels of the kitchen sanitation buckets and the
kitchen's low temperature dishwasher; failed to accurately test the sanitation level of the low temperature
dishwasher; and failed to ensure that all kitchen staff were up to date with their food handler certifications.
These deficient food storage and sanitation practices have the potential to affect all 94 residents receiving
oral diets from the facility's kitchen.
Findings include:
On 5/8/23 at 9:26 am, during the initial kitchen tour with V4 (Dietary Director), this surveyor observed a
16.9-ounce water bottle in the white, reach in freezer, located against the east wall in the kitchen. When
asked about the water bottle, V4 stated that it should be labeled and could be a staff member's personal
water, said It shouldn't be in the freezer. In the same reach in freezer, this surveyor also observed a round,
frozen biscuit in no package or container at the bottom of the freezer. When asked what food item this is, V4
stated that it is a biscuit, and it should not be stored without any packaging. Next, this surveyor observed, in
the same reach in freezer, two pieces of white fish in a clear, plastic bag along with ice crystals inside the
bag, and no label or date noted on the plastic bag. When asked what item this is, V4 stated that it's fish and
confirmed with this surveyor that there is no label or date on the package. V4 stated that it should have
been tossed.
On 5/8/23 at approximately 9:42 am, this surveyor entered the kitchen's walk-in refrigerator and observed
on the shelving unit two bottles of flavored coffee creamers (28 ounces) with one visibly open with dried,
residual creamer noted on the lid. When asked when the flavored coffee creamer is used, V4 stated that it's
the staff member's coffee creamers and shouldn't be in the kitchen refrigerator. This surveyor then
observed two foil wrapped portions of white cheese slices (opened and verified by V4) with no label or date
on the foil package. On the same refrigerated shelving unit, one clear, plastic package of flour tortilla shells
observed opened and is not dated or labeled. V4 stated that these items shouldn't be stored in the
refrigerator with no date or label. Next, a 5-pound container of low-fat cottage cheese observed in the
walk-in refrigerator with a manufacturer's Best Use By date printed on it of 2/10/23. The low-fat cottage
cheese container observed with a written date in black marker of 4/28/23 on the lid, and both dates were
verified with V4. V4 stated, This should have been thrown out. Then a 6.5-pound container of strawberry
compost observed with a manufacturer's Best Use By date printed on it of best use by date printed by
manufacturer as 5/13/22. Strawberry Compost container with written black marker of 4/3/23 and verified
both dates with V4. V4 stated that this strawberry compost is expired and should have been removed from
the refrigerator. Next, a log of pasteurized processed Swiss cheese slices observed with opened packaging
at one end, and this surveyor can visibly see the cheese slices through the opening of the package. No
date is written on the packaging of when it was opened. When asked when this log of Swiss cheese slices
was opened, V4 stated, I (V4) can't tell you that. V4 stated that any package of food should be dated when
it's opened. On this same shelving unit in the walk-in refrigerator, a foil covered item on a plate with no label
or date was observed. When asked what this is, V4 peeled back the foil covering to show cut pieces of
cheesecake. V4 stated that this was from the weekend when a facility staff member had a baby

shower. V4 stated, This shouldn't be in there. In the walk-in refrigerator, on the opposite side shelving unit,
fresh green onions bundles, and fresh broccoli heads observed in cardboard boxes with the top flaps of the
boxes opened all the way, and no date is noted on the box. When asked when the green onions and
broccoli were received, V4 stated that it would have been within 2 weeks, but that the food should be
labeled when the fresh vegetables were received in the facility. In between both shelving units in the walk-in
refrigerator, a black milk crate containing 5 milk cartons (half pint) observed stored directly touching the
floor. V4 stated that the milk cartons in the crate should not be stored on the floor and should be stacked up
off the floor.
On 5/8/23 at approximately 9:55 am, this surveyor asked V4 to check the sanitation levels of the sanitation
buckets in kitchen. For the #1 sanitation bucket near the food preparation table (south end of kitchen), V4
removed a test strip from the quaternary ammonium (quat) test strips and placed it in solution in bucket #1
for approximately 2 seconds. V4 removed the quat test strip, and the test strip turned dark green in color.
When asked how does V4 interpret the reading of the quat test strip, V4 held the test strip up to color
indicators on the quat test packaging and stated, 400 (parts per million, ppm). Over. When asked to clarify
what the dark green color of the test strip means, V4 stated, It's heavy. When asked what the appropriate
level of sanitation should read on the quat test strip for the no-rinse sanitation buckets, V4 stated 100 to 400
(ppm). This surveyor then asked V4 to perform the quat testing on the #2 sanitation bucket near the cook
station near the north wall of the kitchen. V4 removed a strip from the quat test strips container and placed
it in the bucket #2 for approximately 2 seconds. V4 removed the quat test strip, and it turned dark green in
color. When asked to interpret the test result, V4 stated, The same. When asked what the sanitation level is
interpreted from the dark green color of the test strip results, V4 stated, About 400 (ppm).
On 5/9/23 at 10:29 am, during a revisit to the facility kitchen, this surveyor asked V4 to check the sanitation
buckets again for the concentration of the no-rinse sanitizer. For the #1 sanitation bucket (south), V4
removed a test strip from the quat test strips package and placed it in bucket for approximately 2 seconds.
The test strip turned dark green in color. When asked how does V4 interpret this test strip color reading, V4
held the dark green test strip up to colors on the packaging and stated, 400 (ppm). For the #2 sanitation
bucket (north), V4 removed another test strip from the quat test strips package and placed it in the bucket
for approximately 2 seconds. The test strip turned dark green in color. When asked how does V4 interpret
this color reading, V4 held the test strip up to the colors on quat test strip packaging and stated, Same. 400
(ppm).
On 5/9/23 at 10:33 am, V4 and this surveyor were near the kitchen's dishwasher, and V4 stated that it's a
low temperature (temp) dishwasher. When asked to perform a sanitation test with the low temp dishwasher,
V4 removed a test strip from the vial labeled for the chlorine testing. V4 placed the chlorine test strip on a
fork, placed the fork with the test strip on a dish rack along with other ware and ran a dishwasher cycle.
When the cycle was complete, V4 pulled out the rack from the dishwasher, and the chlorine test strip on the
fork was white in color. V4 compared the white test strip to the color squares on the vial of chlorine test
strips container. When asked what the reading of this chlorine test strip is, V4 stated, 10 (ppm). When
asked what the chlorine test strip reading should be for this low temp dishwasher, V4 stated that it's per the
manufacturer's recommendation. When asked what is the proper sanitation reading needed on the chlorine
test strip, as this surveyor is viewing the chlorine test strips vial with the colors and numbers of 10 ppm
color of very light gray, 50 ppm color of medium purple, 100 ppm color of dark purple, 200 ppm color of very
dark purple, near black, V4 stated, To the best of my knowledge, as long as it reads (on the test strip), it's
legal. V4 stated that if it's below or above the low (10 ppm) and high

(200 ppm) ranges on the chlorine test strip, then it's not sanitized. V4 stated that V4 doesn't know when the
last time that this low temp dishwasher was serviced, but V4 is concerned about the calibration of the
dishwasher. When asked what is used as a sanitizer for this low temp dishwasher, V4 pointed to container
under the dishwasher with the label of (Chlorine Additive) solution. This surveyor then asked V4 to review
the dishwasher sanitation log, and V4 retrieved the May 2023 log from a plastic holder on the wall near the
dishwasher. Three columns were noted on the May 2023 dishwasher log with the last entry noted 5/9/23 for
breakfast with a sanitizer level of 100 ppm. V4 stated that facility staff test the low temperature dishwasher
three times a day. V4 stated that the dishwasher was tested last after breakfast today, 5/9/23, and the
reading was 100 ppm. This surveyor asked V4 to run another sanitation test of the low temp dishwasher,
where V4 used the same process of placing the chlorine test strip on a fork and ran it through a complete
cycle of the dishwasher. The test strip on the fork was a very faint light gray color. V4 interpreted the
chlorine test strip color as light gray, and V4 said, 10 (ppm). This surveyor noted an operations
requirements sticker mounted on the front of the facility's low temp dishwasher reading, Required - 50 PPM
Available Chlorine.
On 5/9/23 at 12:58 pm, during a revisit to the kitchen, this surveyor asked V16 (Dietary Aide) to perform a
chlorine test strip with the low temp dishwasher. V4 was present at the dishwasher station. V16 reached for
the chlorine test strips containers, and V4 said to V16 put it in on a fork. V16 removed a chlorine test strip,
put on a fork, and placed the fork in with rack with lid covers. V16 ran the dishwasher cycle of the rack, and
when completed, the test strip disappeared off the fork.
On 5/9/23 at 1:02 pm, V16 (Dietary Aide) ran another chlorine test strip through the low dishwasher cycle
on a fork with trays and lids on the rack. When the dishwasher cycle ended, V16 pulled out the wet test strip
on the fork, and this surveyor asked what the sanitation test reading was, and V16 stated, It (color) didn't
change. It's white. V16 stated that V16 did not do the chlorine testing for the dishwasher this morning
(5/9/23), when pointing at the log that the surveyor was holding. V16 stated that the initials on the log were
from V17 (Dietary Aide).
On 5/9/23 at 1:07 pm, this surveyor showed V17 (Dietary Aide) the dishwasher test log from 5/9/23
breakfast section, and V17 confirmed that V17 did the sanitation testing of the low temp dishwasher. When
asked when V17 performed the dishwasher chlorine test this morning (5/9/23) after the breakfast meal
service, what color did the test strip turn, and V17 stated, Red. This surveyor asked the question again, and
V17 reiterated red. This surveyor showed V17 the chloride test strip container with the 4 colored squares,
and V17 stated, It was kind of pinkish as a result of the chlorine test for the 5/9/23 breakfast service. This
surveyor showed V17 the 4 colors squares on the chlorine test strip vial (controls) of very light gray, 50 ppm
color of medium purple, 100 ppm color of dark purple, 200 ppm color of very dark purple, near black, and
V17 pointed to the light gray square saying, It was closest to this. Light gray. Asked what the test result for
light gray color is, and V17 stated, 10 ppm. This surveyor showed V17 the dishwasher sanitation log for
5/9/23 breakfast service and asked what V17 documented, and V17 said, 100. When asked how could V17
have documented 100 ppm for this morning, 5/9/23, when V17 stated that the chlorine test strip color was
light gray for 10 ppm, and V17 said, I (V17) was going too fast.
On 5/9/23 at 1:10 pm, when asked what the proper level for chloride sanitation for the low temp dishwasher
machine in facility, V4 stated, What I (V4) remember, it's 10 to 200 (ppm). Not above or below that. V4
stated that V4 inherited this (kitchen) staff. V4 stated that V4 is the dietary director and is responsible for the
kitchen staff.

On 5/10/23 at 10:40 am, V4 (Dietary Director) stated when facility received food deliveries, the kitchen staff
will label the food items with the date that they are received. When asked about staff labeling the food items
for use, V4 stated that when kitchen staff use the food item (more than one item) for the first time, they will
write the open date on the container or package and will follow the use by date from manufacturer. When
asked if food should be used after the manufacturer's use by date, V4 stated, No. V4 stated that V4 does
not expect for expired foods to be stored or to be used after that date and should be discarded. V4 stated
that opened protein items expire in 3 days. When asked about the best use by dates for fresh vegetables
such as the green onions or broccoli, V3 stated that it's still 3 days. When asked about the purpose of
dating foods when received and when first used, V4 stated, It's quality control. It's the best usage of food, or
it will break down and degrade. When asked about using foods before the expiration dates so expired foods
are not consumed by residents (with example given of observation on 5/8/23 with strawberry compost
manufacturer expiration date in 2022 and then an open date by kitchen staff written in April 2023), No, it's
for safety of foods. When asked about the containment of food items once they are opened from the original
packaging, V4 stated that kitchen staff are to be resealing packages after opening (multi-item package). V4
stated that staff should open the package and close it; then label and put the use by date on the opened
package. When asked the observation on 5/8/23 of Swiss cheese slices with the packaging that was open
with cheese slices exposed to the air, V4 stated that it should be tossed. V4 stated, If no date or not sealed
then it's tossed. When asked the purpose of removing the non-dated or non-sealed food items, V4 stated,
Cross contamination is possible. When asked about the purpose of labeling food items, V4 stated that so
staff know what food item they are using to prepare for the residents. V4 stated, No date, no label, it's
tossed. When asked where personal food and drink items are to be stored, V4 stated they are not to be
stored in with the resident's food. V4 stated, It's never done. Don't want them to intermix. When asked why it
is important not to intermix staff and resident food items in the kitchen, V4 stated that the kitchen is only for
resident food and drink. V4 stated, I (V4) have a budget to resident food. This should never be done (having
staff food or drink stored with resident food/drink items). When asked about the two produce cases with lids
open (green onions, broccoli), V4 stated that when food items are delivered, the staff needs to date them.
V4 stated that packages are to be closed to prevent cross contamination. V4 stated that it's everyone's
responsibility in the kitchen for labeling, dating, and packaging items closed. V4 stated that any item (food
or drink) should be stored 6 inches off the floor, and when asked why, V4 stated, That's been the rule
forever. V4 stated, Pests. (Food items) shouldn't be on the floor. V4 stated that food or drink packaging can
be damaged, water could get into the boxes and for sanitation reasons. V4 confirmed that quat (quaternary
ammonium chloride) solution is used for the sanitation buckets in the kitchen. When asked what the proper
sanitation level is when the sanitation bucket is prepared, V4 stated, 100 to 300 (ppm). V4 stated that when

and 5/9/23, V4 stated, It was heavy (on level of quat) and that the kitchen staff is using the pump to put the
quaternary ammonium chloride into the buckets with the water. When asked what the effect on residents is
if kitchen ware and equipment is being tested with 400 ppm on the quat test strips, V4 stated, It's too high.
There's residual sanitation. Cross contamination which can make residents sick. When asked about the low
temp dishwasher usage, V4 stated that the dishwasher must reach a sanitation point due to no hot water
reaching 180 degrees. When asked what the proper level of chlorine for sanitation in the facility's low temp
dishwasher machine is, V4 stated, 50-100 ppm. When asked about the testing process of chlorine for the
low temp dishwasher, V4 stated, I (V4) put (the chlorine test strip) on fork, run through machine. That's
been the practice in place. V4 stated that V4 hasn't worked with a low temp dishwasher before. V4 stated, I
have been following that process (for testing low temp dishwasher). I have no excuses. When asked if V4
has trained the kitchen staff in preparing the quat sanitation buckets, V4 stated that V4 has not walked
through this process with kitchen staff. V4 stated that V4 has had no breakdown on the PPM with kitchen
staff about the appropriate sanitation level for the quat solution. V4 stated, I (V4) took this unit on to turn it
around. They (kitchen staff) have not been trained properly. This is still a work in progress. When asked how
kitchen staff are trained, V4 stated they have different competencies and that they do online certifications.
On 5/10/23 at 12:22 pm, V23 (Dishwasher Supply Company Representative) was interviewed via V4's
cellular phone with the speaker phone engaged where V4 present for V23's interview. When this surveyor's
request was made from V23 for the operations manual for the facility's low temp dishwasher, V23 stated
that V23 does not have a manual. V23 stated that the facility's low temp dishwasher's operation
requirements are printed on the front of the dishwasher, and that V4 made a copy for this surveyor. V23
stated that the printed and posted operation requirements have the wash temp, rinse temp, required
chlorine and optimum fill cycle. This surveyor informed V23 that the dishwasher's posted operation
requirements were presented by V4. V4 stated that testing of chlorine sanitation for the facility's low temp
dishwasher machine is when the load is done. V23 stated that there's two types of ways of testing chlorine
sanitation with that staff can take a test strip and put it in puddle on the washed load or put the test strip in
the front of the dishwasher where the plunger goes up and down to fill and pump. V23 stated that the sump
fills with water; starts the detergent and washes; then drain will open; food comes out; and when the drain
closes, then it pumps rinse and sanitizer into the load. This surveyor then asked for V4 to explain to V23
how V4 and the kitchen staff were testing for chlorine sanitation of the ware in the low temp dishwasher. V4
stated that they put the test strip on a plate or fork and run the machine for a cycle then read the test strip.
V23 stated, Oh no. Then it (test strip) would be white. V23 stated that testing for chlorine in low temp is
done after the wash mode. When asked about how this testing process was presented to the facility kitchen
staff using the low temp dishwasher, V23 stated, Typically there is a wall chart, and it's on the chlorine test
strip (container). When asked if V4 and kitchen staff were testing for chlorine with the test strips the way V4
explained, would V23 expect for the kitchen staff to get a reading of 100 ppm? V23 stated, No. It wouldn't
come out a viable reading. When asked to explain the specifics of using the chlorine test strips, V23 stated
that staff are to dip the test strip in the solution in front of the machine where the plunger is and put the test
strip in when the sump is open, or they can put the strip on a puddle (of sanitation moisture) on a coffee
cup after the cycle is completed. V23 stated that staff are to dip the chlorine test strip in during the machine
running or after the cycle, so They are testing the same (sanitizing) solution that is all over the dishes.
When asked what does V23 expects the chlorine test strip to read for dishware to be properly sanitized in

On 5/9/23 and 5/10/23, this surveyor reviewed the licenses and certifications of V4, V24 (Registered
Dietitian) and the kitchen staff. V4's foodservice manager certificate is up to date. V17's food handler
training certificate expired 4/11/22. On 5/10/23 at 1:32 pm, V4 stated that V17 stated that V17 did renew the
food handler training certification, but V4 cannot find it. V4 then provided this surveyor with a receipt, dated
5/10/23, for V17's renewal of the food handler training certificate.
Residents Affected - Many
On 5/11/23 at 11:06 am, V24 (Registered Dietitian) stated that V24 is the dietitian for the facility and visits
the facility once a week. V24 stated, When I (V24) am there, I am definitely in the kitchen throughout the
day. V24 stated, I (V24) am available for kitchen staff for questions. When asked about V24 providing
education to the kitchen staff about food handling safety and kitchen processes, V24 stated, I (V24) have
not at this time. That's more what the director (V4) does. (V4) would take the lead on that. When asked if all
the kitchen staff have up to date with their food handler certifications, V24 stated, To my knowledge, yes.
V24 stated that V24 will check the kitchen staff's certifications annually with myself and (V4) and self-audit
to make sure they are up to date. When asked V24 when was the last audit of staff's certificates that V24
performed, V24 stated, It probably would have been 1 year ago with the old manager. When asked if V24
provides training on the sanitation testing in the kitchen, like for the sanitation levels of the dishwasher or
sanitation buckets, V24 stated, I (V24) have not. When asked who is responsible for the training of
sanitation testing in the kitchen, V24 stated, The food service director is. When asked about the certified
foodservice manager certificates, what does it entail, and V24 stated that it includes more in-depth
information on handling safe foods and more up to date knowledge to ensure food is safe from start to
finish in the kitchen. When asked if the sanitation of kitchen equipment and ware in the kitchen is included
in this training, V24 stated, Sanitation. It would encompass sanitation in the kitchen. When asked what's the
difference between a foodservice manager certificate and a food handler certification, V24 stated, There is
more in-depth training, and there's quite a bit of overlap. (Foodservice manager) certification is more in
depth. V24 stated that the food handler certificates do need to be renewed. V24 stated that they expire
differently depending on what company is used, but They do need to renew. Not just one time. V24 stated
that there are different types of dishwashers: low temperatures, and high temperatures. When asked if in
the foodservice manager certification, is there education on how to test for the appropriate sanitation levels
needed in the kitchen, V24 stated, I (V24) believe so. It would talk about temperatures to reach (for
sanitation) as well as using test strips (for sanitation). When asked if the foodservice manager certification
would include training on setting up and testing sanitation buckets using quat solutions and testing
dishwashers' chlorine levels, V24 stated, Yes, it would be included.
On 5/11/23 at 11:31 am, V1 (Administrator) stated that all the kitchen staff are contracted from an external
food service company.
