F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility was sufficiently staffed to meet the needs of the residents. This failure affects five residents (R5, R14, R20, R23, R28) on the sample list of 21. This failure has the potential to affect all 28 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: The facility's Resident Council Meeting Minutes documents the following nursing concerns: 4/19/22 residents would like more Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's) on evening shift. On 5/19/22 residents would like more CNA's. 6/16/22 one resident stated was not getting their bath today because not enough staff.

Resident stated they have had to wait on the toilet for 25-30 minutes several times before a CNA could come help. 11/13/22 residents stated they need more help on the weekend due to long call light wait times. 12/5/22 residents stated there are not enough CNA's. 2/6/23 residents raise concerns about the number of CNA's per shift.

On 5/2/23 at 2:45pm during the Resident Council Meeting with the State Surveyor, R20 stated the facility is short staffed CNA's on weekends. R20 stated R20 takes a diuretic which causes the need to use the bathroom frequently and R20 needs assistance to use the bathroom. R20 stated call light wait times are longer at night.

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, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure the dishwashing machine was operating in a manner to sanitize residents food service dishes, wares, and utensils. This failure has the potential to affect all 28 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: On 5/3/23 at 9:06 am, V12, Dietary Aide, stated, The dishwasher is a high temp (temperature) machine, I check it every morning. V12 then placed a facility digital thermometer onto a dishwashing rack and ran the rack through a cycle in the dishwasher. The thermometer displayed the maximum temperature during the dishwashing cycle of 144 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The facility's 'Commercial Rack Conveyor Dish Machine Manufacturer Instructions' dated 6/15/1999 documents the minimum wash temperature for hot water sanitization should be 150 degrees F, the pumped rinse minimum temperature should be 160 degrees F, and the final rinse minimum temperature should be 180 degrees F. On 5/3/23 at 9:09 am, V12, Dietary Aide, stated to V11, Dietary Aide, When I checked the temperature this morning it was 152 (degrees F). V12 then placed the same facility digital thermometer back into the dishwashing rack and ran the rack through another dishwashing cycle. The digital thermometer displayed the maximum temperature during the dishwashing cycle of 146 degrees F. On 5/3/23 at 9:15 am, V10, Registered Dietician, stated, Actually this machine uses chlorine to sanitize, not the high temp (temperature). V10 then ran a dishwashing rack through the machine and used an orange test strip material (actually designed to test quaternary ammonium sanitizer) to check the chlorine content of the rinse water. The orange test strip did not change color at all to indicate the presence of any chlorine during the dishwashing cycle. V10 then stated to V12, We should have the test strips that turn blue. V10 obtained a different container of white test strip material to test the water from the dishwashing cycle and the test strip turned a light gray color to indicate approximately 10 parts per million (ppm) of chlorine. The facility's 'Commercial Rack Conveyor Dish Machine Manufacturer Instructions' dated 6/15/1999 documents the chemical sanitizer required is 50 ppm of chlorine. The facility's dishwasher test log dated from 4/14/23 through 5/3/23 documents the dietary staff only record a check mark in the column for the chlorine test strip, rather than the actual number measured. Neither V12 nor V10 could state how long the dishwashing machine had been too low on chlorine to sanitize the dishes. On 5/3/23 at 9:20 am, V10, Registered Dietician, stated, It's frustrating, (dishwasher maintenance company) fixed this machine about a month and a half ago for the same issue. V10 further stated, We can definitely start recording the number for the chlorine. The facility's 'Resident Census and Conditions of Residents' dated 5/2/23 documents 28 residents reside in the facility.
