**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, staff interviews, record review, review of local Health Department records, and review of
facility policy, the facility failed to maintain equipment in safe operating condition. This affected two (#24 and
#27) of the five residents reviewed for beds /equipment. The facility also failed to ensure the dishwasher
was maintained in working order. This had the potential to affect all 46 residents who resided in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
1) Review of the medical record for Resident #24 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Diagnoses included cellulitis, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, bipolar disorder, amnesia, anemia,
congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes mellitus.

impaired cognition and required assistance from staff with transfers.
Observation of Resident #27's bed 07/23/24 at 11:51 A.M, revealed the bed's white electrical cord had
been spliced, attached to a black cord using wire nuts and electrical tape and plugged into a damaged
outlet. The receptacles in the outlet were pushed into the wall and there was a screw inside one of the
receptacles ground terminal. Interview with Resident #27 at the same, revealed she was not aware of the

3) Observation of the kitchen with Dietary Manager (DM) #110 on 07/24/24 at 11:30 A.M., revealed the
dishwasher's thermostat gauge was not functional. DM #110 stated a new gauge had been on order for an
unknown time. DM #110 stated she utilized a food thermometer to test the water temperatures in the
dishwasher. DM #110 stated the dishwasher is a low temperature dishwasher with sanitization, so it should
reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for both wash and rinse. Observation of the manufacturing tag located on
the dishwasher stated the wash and rinse cycles should reach 120 degrees F. Observation revealed DM
#110 ran the dishwasher for three cycles and it only reached 108 degrees F. DM #110 stated she does not
have a company to routinely service the dishwasher because the Maintenance Department would provide
the maintenance to the dishwashing machine in the event something happened. DM #110 stated she told
the maintenance team during a morning meeting a few days ago that the dishwasher was in need of repair.
DM #110 stated the dishwasher has not reached the required temperature of 120 degrees F for at least
three days. DM #110 stated she just reminded the maintenance team this morning that the dishwasher was
not working correctly and needed to be addressed. Observation of the July 2024 dishwasher temperature
logs revealed the dishwasher was recorded at 120 degrees at every test. DM #110 stated she was not sure
how her team could have logged 120 degrees F for the past three days when the dishwasher had not been
reaching the correct temperatures. Observation of DM #110 performing a sanitation check on the
dishwasher, revealed DM #110 took a piece of litmus paper (paper for testing the pH value) and placed it in
the dishwasher rinse water. The litmus paper remained white and did not change colors to indicate any
sanitization. DM #110 confirmed there was no sanitization and stated the facility's plan was to utilize the
three-compartment sink for washing and rinsing all dishes until the dishwasher could be repaired. DM #110
stated she believed the tubing from the sanitizing solution to the dishwasher was messed up again since
there was no sanitizer entering the dishwasher and this was a previous problem.
Review of the most recent local Health Department Food Inspection Report, dated 10/13/23, revealed the
facility was notified that the sanitizer concentration was not being monitored.
Review of a Service Report dated 06/04/24, revealed the rinse-aid at the dishwasher wasn't dispensing,
even after the maintenance team installed a new rinse pump squeeze. The new rinse-aid tube was installed
but the product (sanitizer) was not pulling up through the tubing because the chemical and rotor assembly
was too worn out and must be replaced. As a temporary repair, the service company added some cut-up
paper business card stock into the chemical housing to help squeeze tube and pull the sanitizer and the
sanitizer started pulling through the tube. The notes indicated the card stock was a temporary solution and
a new chemical housing and rotor assembly needed to be ordered and replaced. The service company met
with DM #110 ,reviewed the service performed the recommended the follow-up.
Interview with the Administrator on 07/24/24 at 4:00 P.M., stated the facility ordered the parts
recommended from the 06/06/24 service; however, he was not able to provide any documented evidence
the parts had been ordered or the facility set up a follow-up inspection on the dishwasher according to the
06/06/24 recommendations. Routine maintenance records for the dishwasher were requested on numerous
occasions, and at the time of exit, the facility wasn't able to provide any routine maintenance records for the
dishwasher.
