V12 manipulated some controls on the system and did get the screen to display the facility floor plan with green dots at each door location. There were two dots which turned red to indicate a door had opened but there was no audible alert activated. On 12/4/24 at 4:05 PM, V12 stated a staff member would need to be watching the screen to know that a door was opened and which door to go check. V12 stated he was not a tech guy and had been unable to fix the system. On 12/4/24 at 4:15 PM, the door leading into an outside courtyard from the small dining room did not have an audible alarm when the door was opened. This was the door where the residents would go outside to smoke, as observed on multiple occasions during the survey including 12/4/24 at 3:00 PM, and 12/7/24 at 1:00 PM. V12 pointed out a blue blinking light on the ceiling above the door and stated this was connected to the black box system and confirmed that a staff member would need to be present in the small dining room to see the light to know this door had been opened. On 12/4/24 at 4:20 PM, the black box door monitoring system monitor located at the 300 hall nurses station was black and not displaying the facility floor map. V12 attempted to manipulate some buttons on the side of the monitor, but the screen did not activate. On 12/4/24 at 4:25 PM, the double doors leading outside to a loading dock approximately four feet up from ground level and an associated ramp, had a small plastic sensor alarm which was non-functional. V12 stated the alarm was supposed to sound when the door was opened. The right side door opened with a simple push. V12 stated he had attempted to repair the alarm but would need to get someone else into the facility to repair it. V12 stated that the keypad at this door for the employees to enter a code to go outside had been disabled as well, and the only part of this door system that was functioning was the (electronic bracelet monitoring alarm).

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The door leading outside into a third courtyard from the activity room did not have an audible alarm when the door was opened. V12 stated there are always staff present in the activity room, however, there were subsequent multiple occasions of observing residents in the activity room engaged in coloring and cutting activities without staff present, including during scheduled resident smoking times when the activity staff was responsible for supervising the smoking residents. Residents Affected - Some On 12/5/24 at 10:54 AM, V1, Administrator, stated she was aghast at the number of door alarms that were not functional. V1 stated that V12 and V13, Maintenance Assistant, were supposed to check the door alarms daily. V1 stated they needed some better communication so that as soon as there is a problem like that they can get someone to address it and get it fixed. V1 stated she told V12 the facility can not have things like this running half-as**d. V1 confirmed there is not always staff present in the activity room including during the scheduled resident smoking times and at night. V1 didn't know an exact number of residents who did not use (electronic bracelets) but estimated around 10 out of the current census of 102, and another 10 who were either bed bound or could not propel their own wheelchairs. V1 stated if V12 could not fix this black box system then he needed to get the company that installed it back here to fix it. On 12/5/24 at 12:40 PM, there was an audible announcement coming from the black box door monitoring system next to the 200 hall nurses station, door ajar. The monitor screen was black and the facility floor plan was not displayed. V9, Licensed Practical Nurse, V14 Certified Nursing Assistant, and V15 Certified Nursing Assistant, all stated they did not know which door was ajar or which door to go check because the screen wasn't working. On 12/5/24 at 12:53 PM, the black box door monitoring system next to the nurse station at the 300 hall had the same audible announcement door ajar, and the monitor screen was likewise black and not displaying the facility floor map. V8 Licensed Practical Nurse stated she did not know which door was ajar because the screen was not working.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 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 maintain dishwasher water temperatures at a level to sanitize dish wares. These failures have the potential to affect all 102 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: On 12/4/24 at 4:35 PM, V12, Maintenance Director, operated the facility dishwasher which reached a final rinse temperature of 156 degrees Fahrenheit (F). A second running cycle resulted in a final rinse temperature of 161 F, and a third cycle resulted in a final rinse temperature of 163 F. There was a metal plate on the front of the dishwasher directly below the digital temperature display which informed the user that the final rinse temperature must be 180 F to sanitize dish wares. On 12/5/24 at 10:18 AM, V21 was operating the facility dishwasher to wash the dishes from the residents' breakfast meal. V22, Dietary Manager, present upon request, stated that dishwasher is supposed to wash at a temperature of 150 F, and rinse at 180 F. The first observed cycle of the dishwasher resulted in a final rinse temperature of 168 F. A second and third cycle of the dishwasher resulted in final rinse temperatures of 177 F and 178 F, respectively. V22 stated the only thing she could do would be to serve residents on paper disposable plates and disposable plastic utensils until the dishwasher could be repaired. V12 stated he had called a service company but they would not be able to come to the facility until tomorrow morning (12/6/24). V12 stated he thought the dish machine had a bad solenoid. On 12/5/24 at 10:54 AM, V1, Administrator, stated she just became aware of the dishwasher failing to get hot enough to sanitize dishes. V1 stated there had to be better communication between V12, V22, and herself in order to get things fixed when there is a problem. V1 stated she had sent someone to obtain plastic wares and utensils to serve residents. V1 stated she was aware that the dietary staff could utilize the 3 compartment sink to wash, rinse, and sanitize dishes but that the staff did not want to do that because it took too long. The facility's Dishwashing Machine Manufacturer Specifications (undated) documents the final rinse temperature should be a minimum of 180 F. On 12/6/24 at 11:50 AM, V20, Dishwasher Service Company Technician, stated the facility had a contract with (competitor company) and it would be a breech of contract for him to service the facility dishwasher. V20 stated that with as busy as the service industry is at the present time, it would be unlikely that the (competitor company) would be able to get a service technician to the facility within the expected duration of this survey.
