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 foods were dated, expired
foods were discarded, and kitchen temperature logs were complete. This applies to all residents residing in
the facility.
The findings include:
The facility census report dated 6/30/25 showed 123 residents resided in the facility.
On 7/1/25 at 9:29 AM, the reach-in refrigerator had multiple food items missing dates. The items included
five plated lettuce salads, half a brick of open butter, open cheese slices, a plastic container of fruit cocktail,
an open bag of shredded cheese, an opened and browning bag of shredded lettuce. The same refrigerator
had a plastic container of puree bread dated 6/23 and a cut up watermelon dated 6/25. A stainless-steel
pan held an undated turkey breast in the same refrigerator. At 9:39 AM, V5 (Dietary Aide) stated any
undated food needs to be tossed out. No date means it must go in the garbage. The dates tell us when it is
too old to serve and when the food has gone bad.
On 7/1/25 at 9:45 AM, the walk-in refrigerator had approximately 28 individual size cups of pudding which
were all undated. The same refrigerator had a tub of cottage cheese that showed best by 6/28/25. The
refrigerator had a tub of sour cream with an expiration date of 4/21/25.
On 7/1/25 the five temperature logs for all the refrigerators and freezers were reviewed by this surveyor.
Each log was posted on the unit doors and reflected the month of June 2025. Multiple days were missing
on every log. Dietary staff were questioned for the location of the current day's temperatures and were
unable to locate any of them.
On 7/1/25 the food temperature logs were reviewed with V4 (Dietary Manager) present. Multiple food
temperatures were missing from the logs, including multiple days at a time for the evening meals.
On 7/1/25 at 9:50 AM, V4 (Dietary Manager) stated the July 2025 refrigerator and freezer logs have not
been put out yet. They have not even been started. They should be done every day and somebody didn't do
it right. The storage units (refrigerators and freezers) need temperature checks at least two times each day.
It ensures the units are working correctly and keeps resident food safe. Bad storage temperatures can spoil
food and make residents sick. V4 was questioned about the multiple missing temperatures on the June logs
and said there is no way to know if the units were working right if the temperatures aren't on the logs. V4
said every food needs a date to show when it comes in and when it was opened. Old food is dangerous to
eat. Any food that is expired or not dated should be thrown out. All the kitchen staff are responsible for
dating food and checking the dates. V4 said the
