F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. Based on observation, review of the menu, review of the menu spreadsheet, staff interview and review of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) resources, the facility failed to ensure adequate meal portions were served. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure all components of a meal were provided.

Findings include: Review of the menu for the lunch meal on 02/04/25 revealed residents would be served pork vegetable stir fry, white rice, and wheat bread. Review of the menu spreadsheet for the pork vegetable stir fry revealed the serving portion was a #6 scoop (approximately five and one-third ounces). Further review revealed mechanical soft and pureed diets would be served a #6 scoop of pork chops, instead of the pork and vegetable stir fry. Observation on 02/04/25 at 10:44 A.M. revealed [NAME] #620 pureed six pork chops for six residents on a pureed diet. Observation during meal service on 02/04/25, beginning at 11:30 A.M., revealed [NAME] #620 plating trays for the lunch meal.

Continued interview with [NAME] #620, and coinciding observation, confirmed at least two two-ounce scoops of pureed pork chops remained in the pan at the conclusion of meal service. [NAME] #620 further confirmed the slotted spoons used for the broccoli and pureed broccoli were serving utensils with no measurement lines and, therefore, [NAME] #620 could not measure the portion of broccoli provided to residents.

[NAME] #620 picked up the other slice of bread and spread jelly on the piece of bread. [NAME] #620 placed the sandwich into a baggy, then reached into the loaf of bread and took out two additional pieces of bread.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many #620 then donned gloves, opened the package of lunch meat, removed the plastic wrap from the cheese, reached into a loaf of bread, pulled out two slices of bread, and began to make a lunch meat and cheese sandwich. Interview with [NAME] #620 confirmed she wore the same pair of gloves while unwrapping the lunch meat and cheese and before touching the bread or preparing the sandwich by picking up individual slices of meat and cheese with the same gloves she used to touch the packaging taken from the walk-in refrigerator. Review of the facility policy titled, Handwashing During Meal Service, reviewed August 2024, revealed nursing and caregiver staff must wash hands before assisting residents with meals, feeding, or helping with personal care during meal times. Additional review revealed hands should be washed after touching potentially contaminated surfaces (for example, door handles and equipment). Further review revealed gloves do not replace handwashing. Hands must be washed before putting on gloves and immediately after removing them and gloves should be changed between tasks. 3. Observation on 02/06/25 at 10:48 A.M. of the North Hall residents' refrigerator revealed food items, which were undated and unlabeled, including an unlabeled leftover container, two bags of unlabeled hard boiled eggs, undated chicken strips on a paper plate, a leftover fast-food bag with no name, undated and unlabeled orange juice, and undated prune juice. Coinciding interview with Medical Records Director (MRD) #666 verified the unlabeled and undated items in the refrigerator. Observation on 02/06/25 at 10:51 A.M. of the South Hall residents' refrigerator revealed unlabeled rice, honey ham dated 01/18/25, an unlabeled grilled cheese sandwich, undated bologna, and an opened jar of undated and unlabeled black eyed peas. Concurrent interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #668 confirmed the undated and unlabeled items. Further interview with LPN #668 confirmed items should be labeled and dated and that refrigerators were cleaned out every Monday. Review of the facility policy titled, Food Brought in from Outside Sources and Personal Food Storage, dated 2021, revealed foods and beverages brought in from outside sources that required refrigeration or freezing should be labeled with the patient/resident's name and date. 4. Observation on 02/04/25 at 2:15 P.M. revealed the facility's dishwasher (dish machine) was a low temperature dishwasher (meaning dishes were sanitized with a chlorine solution rather than hot water). Review of the dish machine monitoring logs dated January 2025 and February 2025 revealed staff should document the water temperature and the chlorine concentration in PPM (parts per million). Further review revealed the only documentation on the logs were temperatures. Continued observation, upon request to determine the chlorine concentration, revealed Dietary Manager (DM) #609 retrieved a brand new chlorine test strip container from her desk. DM #609 obtained the chlorine solution concentration three times, after consecutive running of the dish machine. DM #609 confirmed the concentration of the chlorine solution was 10 PPM. DM #609 confirmed the dish machine log indicated the PPM should be at least 50. Further interview at that time with DM #609 revealed she had not yet trained staff on how to use the strips to monitor and document the chlorine concentration of the dish machine and confirmed the dish machine logs for January 2025 and February 2025 only reflected water temperatures, not chlorine concentration, and there was no evidence the chlorine levels were monitored to ensure adequate sanitization. Review of the facility policy titled, Dish Machine Temperature/Sanitizer Records, revised August 2008, revealed all employees shall be trained on the appropriate method of completing the Low Temperature Dish Machine log.
