Resident #55 had been watching television while waiting for her lunch. She was alert with some confusion, as she said she did not remember why she had bandages on her feet. She indicated she preferred to stay in bed only occasionally getting up to a chair and did not have a good appetite. On 12/17/19 at 4:54 P.M. during an interview with Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) #372, CDM #372 revealed prior to her going to the hospital on [DATE] the resident had been receiving fortified foods that consisted of fortified cereal, fortified potato and fortified pudding but it was not restarted when she returned from the hospital on [DATE]. CDM #372 said it was up to the registered dietitian to implement the fortified foods. She added the resident did receive snacks twice a day as before she went to the hospital. On 12/18/19 from 9:56 A.M. to 10:27 A.M. interview with RD #373 verified she had not completed a comprehensive nutritional assessment on the resident when she returned to the facility on [DATE] but instead did a progress note on 11/27/19 addressing the three percent weight gain with no new recommendations. RD #373 identified Resident #55 as a nutritional risk prior to her hospitalization on 11/01/19, had put her on fortified foods three times a day and Med Plus NSA supplement four ounces twice a day with snacks twice a day. RD #373 verified the Med Plus NSA and fortified foods were not restarted for the resident upon return to the facility on [DATE]. RD #373 shared she implemented a Promod (protein) supplement on 12/06/19 after the multiple in-house acquired pressure ulcers were reported to her at the weekly meeting but as of 12/18/19 she had still not done a comprehensive nutritional assessment of the resident with the last one being 09/25/19 when her quarterly review was due. On 12/18/19 at 1:11 P.M. interview with LPN #314 who reviewed the Skin Monitoring Comprehensive CNA Shower Review documents from 12/01/19 and 12/05/19 verified the documents indicated there were no skin impairment areas notated on them.

This had the potential to affect all residents in the facility except for one Resident (#35) who did receive food by mouth. The facility census was 77. Residents Affected - Many Findings included: Resident interviews were conducted on 12/15/19 from 9:06 A.M. to 12:45 P.M. with Residents #25, #27, #39, #45 and #52. The residents consistently reported that hot foods were not hot and it could be at any meal the food was not hot. Resident #52 said she expected to get cold eggs when they were ordered. Resident #45 shared he did not eat a full meal a lot of times due to the hot foods being too cool, and he had lost weight. Resident #39 said the longer the trays sit in the hall waiting to get passed the colder the food was to him. Record review was conducted of the Food Committee Meeting Minutes dated 06/2019 which indicated foods were served at the proper temperature based on the floor staffing. On 09/19/19 the minutes reflected foods were served at the proper temperatures most of the time, but the meal carts took too long to pass. On 11/14/19 a comment was noted regarding eggs being cold in the morning. Observation was conducted on 12/18/19 at 10:59 A.M. of the lunch trayline food temperatures in the kitchen with Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) #372. CDM #372 used a calibrated, digital touch point thermometer to obtain the following food temperatures: balsamic pork - 209.5 degrees Fahrenheit (F), roasted potato 176 degrees F, zucchini - 169.5 degrees F and scalloped apples - 31.3 degrees F. Tray line service began at 11:11 A.M. with CDM #372 serving. She placed the foods onto a plate that had been warmed in a stainless steel plate warming unit. The plates were then placed onto a plastic thermal base and covered with a plastic thermal dome cover. The thermal bases and dome covers were noted to be aged to the point the plastic was starting to separate forming a scale like appearance to the domes and bases. The cart going to the 100 unit for room trays was loaded with 12 trays and the last tray, a test tray, at 11:19 A.M. At 11:22 A.M. the cart left the kitchen and arrived on the 100 unit at 11:23 A.M. District Dietary Manager (DDM) #371 followed the cart to the unit with the surveyor. Using a calibrated, digital touch point thermometer DDM #371 began taking test tray temperatures at 11:32 A.M. when the last tray, the test tray, was passed by the unit staff. The test tray temperatures were as followed: milk - 37 degrees F, scalloped apples 40.7 degrees F, balsamic pork 104.3 degrees F, roasted potato 113.5 degrees F and zucchini 113.9 degrees F. The food flavor and texture were good, however, the food temperature palpability of the pork, potato and zucchini felt barely warm in the mouth. These temperatures were verified with DDM #371 at the time of the observation. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365711 If continuation sheet Page 19 of 19
