F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was transferred safely during a shower to avoid falling for one of five residents (R45) reviewed for falls in the sample of 34. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's Program for Reduction of Fall Risk, dated 7/23/15, documents, As part of the program for the prevention of falls, all newly admitted residents and those residents experiencing a change in function will be assessed for the risk of falls. Interventions to prevent falls will be implemented on the basis of the risk assessment. Purpose: To prevent falls and enable staff to recognize those residents who have been found to be at increased risk for falls. R45's current Care Plan, dated 5/28/24, documents, I (R45) have had a decline in my strength/independence during transfers. I use a (mechanical lift) lift for transfers. This same Care Plan documents, I am at increased risk for falls related to impaired cognition, poor safety awareness, diuretic use and weakness. I use a mechanical lift. R45's Safety Event Fall report, dated 7/19/24, documents R45 suffered a fall in the shower room at 5:40 AM while being transferred by V10 (Certified Nursing Assistant). This form documents, Summary of Findings: (R45's) Knees buckled, (mechanical lift) was not in use. Interventions in place to prevent future falls: Staff re-educated to review assignment sheet and obtain report requiring transfer needs. On 8/14/24 at 2:18 PM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) confirmed R45 fell in the shower room with V10 on 7/19/24. V3 stated, The nurse who was on that morning (V11, Licensed Practical Nurse) went into the shower room and found (R45) on the floor on his knees and (V10) standing in front of him. He had been having a decline and became a (mechanical lift) for all transfers on 7/11/24. (V10) had wheeled (R45) into the shower room on 7/19/24 and then assisted him to transfer to standing, using a gait belt. (R45's) knees buckled and that is when he fell. The intervention for this was to educate staff on ensuring they are aware of all transfer status when oncoming to their shift. She (V10) just didn't use the proper equipment to transfer (R45).

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 use the Heat Stickers to ensure dishes reach the correct/required surface temperature when in the rinse cycle in the dish machine and failed to have staff wash hands with soap and water as required between handling dirty dishes and clean dishes in the dish room. This has the potential to affect all 101 residents living in the facility. Findings: 1. The document, Dish Machine Temperature Recording for Food Service Staff Policy, 4/2024, states, It is the policy of the Food Service Department that the acceptable wash temperature (should be) 150 - 165 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and the acceptable rinse temperature is 180 degrees F or above. Any temperature reading below 150 degrees F wash, or 180 degrees F rinse should be noted, and a department supervisor or designee notified. On 8/12/24 at 10:55 AM, V5, Assistant Dietary Manager, stated, We do not use the Surface Temperature Stickers for the dish machine. You (Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Surveyor) had me get the (surface temperature stickers) last time, and I ended up throwing them away because they became outdated. Writer inquired if the surface temperature stickers were being used as required after the IDPH surveyor was last at the facility. V5 did not respond to the question stating, I've been told that we do not need to use the surface temperature stickers. I put a thermometer in the rack and send it through the dish machine. If it registers 160 degrees F, then it's okay. V15, Dietary Manager, has a calculation that shows the temperatures reach what they should. Writer explained without using the surface temperature stickers, it would be unknown if they reached the appropriate surface level of heat for dishes, utensils, glasses, etc . V5 stated, No one else requires the surface temperature stickers to be used. Why do you? I will get (V15) to explain that we don't need the surface temperature stickers. When V15 was asked about this issue, V15 stated, Yes the surface temperature stickers should be used, and I will order them right away. 2. The document, Handwashing, dated 2/2024, states, Proper handwashing technique is used for the prevention of transmission of infectious diseases. A policy for when it is required to wash hands when in the kitchen was requested. The facility states that they do not have a specific policy of when to wash hands, including when staff are using the dish machine. On 8/12/24 at 11:05 AM, V6, Dietary Aide, was observed putting dirty dishes and equipment into racks and sending the soiled dishes through the dishwasher. V6 then reached up, got a squirt out of the sanitation solution container that is affixed to the wall next to the dishwasher and above the area where the dirty dishes are racked. V6 rubbed his hands together and then proceeded to take clean dishes and other clean equipment out of the just washed items in the racks and put them on a cart to be taken into the kitchen. V6 stated. Yes, I always use the sanitation solution. On 8/12/24 at 11:10 AM, V5, Assistant Dietary Manager, stated, I noticed that they didn't have a handwashing sink in the dish room, but use the sanitizer solution when I started working here. I was told that a hand washing sink would not be put in the dish room. Staff should go into the kitchen and wash their hands between handling the dirty dishes and clean dishes.
