Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Based on medical record review, staff interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure
resident code status was accurately documented throughout the resident's medical record. This affected
one (#8) of one resident reviewed for Advance Directives. The facility census was 59.
Findings include:
Review of the electronic medical record (EMR) for Resident #8 revealed an admission date of 12/02/22.
Diagnoses included leukemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart disease. Further
review revealed Resident #8's code status was Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care-Arrest (DNRCCA).
Review of the physician order dated 11/12/24 revealed Resident #8 was a DNRCCA code status.
Review of Resident #8's hard chart revealed a red paper stating DNRCC (Do Not Resuscitate Comfort
Care). Further review revealed the physician signed advanced directive stated Resident #8 was a DNRCC
code status.
Interview on 06/03/25 at 3:30 P.M. with Register Nurse (RN) #476 revealed a resident's code status should
match throughout the resident's EMR and hard chart to ensure appropriate care was provided during a
code status. Further interview with RN #476 verified Resident #8's EMR documented the resident's code
status as DNRCCA while the hard chart indicated the resident had a DNRCC code status. RN #476
confirmed Resident #8's code status was not accurately documented throughout the resident's medical
record.
Review of the facility policy titled, Communication of Code Status, dated 03/01/23, revealed when an order
was written pertaining to a resident's presence or absence of an Advance Directive, the directions would be
clearly documented in designated sections of the medical record.

Based on observation, staff interview, review of the dishwashing machine temperature logs and review of
the facility policy, the facility failed to maintain appropriate dishwasher temperatures to ensure clean and
sanitary dishware. This had the potential to affect all 59 residents who received food from the kitchen. The
facility census was 59.
Findings include:
Review of the low-temperature dishwashing machine logs from 03/01/25 through 06/03/25 revealed wash
temperatures were not to be below 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and were to be checked once per shift.
During the time period reviewed, wash temperatures were documented to be below 120 degrees F on 83
occasions.
During an observation on 06/04/25 at approximately 1:35 P.M. with Dietary Supervisor (DS) #471 revealed
the last load of dishes following the lunch meal was in the process of being washed using the
low-temperature, chemical-sanitation dishwashing machine. The dishwashing machine reached a maximum
temperature of 112 degrees F for both the wash and the rinse cycles. The dishwashing machine was run
numerous times and there was no increase in the temperature. Concurrent interview with DS #471 verified
the dishwashing machine did not reach the appropriate temperature for the wash or the rinse cycle. DS
#471 reported the machine was supposed to reach at least 120 degrees F for each cycle. DS #471 stated
sometimes the machine reached 120 degrees F and sometimes it did not.
Review of the facility policy titled, Dish Machine Temperatures, undated, revealed chemical sanitizing
machines, which were low-temperature, were to have a wash and a rinse temperature between 120 and
140 degrees F.
