Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the ice machine was
maintained in a sanitary condition. This had the potential to affect 61 of 61 residents who receive ice from
the facility. The facility census was 70. Findings include:Observation and interview on 02/23/26 at
approximately 3:10 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #107 revealed a clean utility room which
contained an ice machine. The ice machine had white steaks of buildup down the sides of it and a brown
streak down the front. When opened, the upper wall of the machine was noted to have a black mold-like
substance. LPN #107 looked inside the ice machine to confirm the observation and said, oh yeah, that's
mold. Interview on 02/23/26 at 3:20 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed there was a black substance in
the ice machine. When asked if she thought residents should consume ice from the machine, the
Administrator stated, No. Review of a sanitation log completed by Maintenance Director (MD) #120
revealed he had marked the inspection of the ice machine and sanitation as completed twice a month since
05/31/25. Review of a manual for the ice machine revealed it should be cleaned and sanitized every six
months for efficient operation. If more frequent cleaning was needed, a consult company should be
contacted to test the water and recommend appropriate water treatment. The sanitizer procedure would be
used to remove algae or slime, using the sanitizing solution and a sponge or cloth, sanitize the following
areas: side walls, base (area above water trough), water distribution tube, water pump, inch thickness probe
and water level probe and bin or dispenser. The rinse all areas with clear water.This deficiency represents
incidental findings of non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2713371.

Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary laundry room.
This had the potential to affect 68 of 68 residents who have their laundry done at the facility. The facility
census was 70. Findings include:Observation and interview on 02/23/26 at approximately 3:05 P.M. with
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #107 revealed the laundry room had two separate areas- one for the dirty
side with the washers, and one for the clean side with the dryers. On the side with the washers,
observations revealed there were two washes with one non-functional. There were 11 barrels of dirty
clothing and linens in the room with one red hazardous bag on the floor. Eight of the barrels were not
covered, had linens not bagged, and were over-flowing. There was a leak noted from the washer and only a
small walking path from the washer to the door leading to the clean laundry area. LPN #107 stated the
laundry room was cause for concern related to infection control. Observation on 02/23/26 at 4:31 P.M.
revealed the laundry room now had 12 full barrels. Interview on 02/24/26 at 6:30 A.M. with Laundry Aide
(LA) #115 revealed there were now 15 barrels of laundry, four were outside the laundry room in the hallway
with one barrel without a lid, the additional barrels were in the laundry room and eight did not have a lid,
had unbagged clothing and linens, and were overflowing. LA #115 stated second shift was let go so
nightshift aides were supposed to help with laundry which is not always possible because they are busy
too. LA #115 stated she is able to get eight loads of laundry done during her shift. LA #115 stated she gets
so many complaints about the laundry because it is so backed up due to having to focus on linens and
supplies for care needs instead of personal items. LA #115 confirmed there was a red hazardous bag and
stated it had been placed on top of a laundry basket so both the bag and basket items would have to be
bleached. LA #115 stated she is not ever made aware of what type of infection the red bags indicate so
everything gets bleached, even personal items which can get ruined. Review of a policy titled Infection
Prevention and Control Program dated 01/07/25 revealed soiled linen should be collected at the bedside
and placed in a linen bag, then the bag should be closed securely and placed in the soiled utility room.
Soiled linen should not be kept in the resident's room or bathroom. Environmental services staff should not
handle soiled linens if it is not properly bagged. Observation and interview on 02/23/26 at approximately
3:10 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #107 revealed a clean utility room which contained an ice
machine. The ice machine had white steaks of buildup down the sides of it and a brown streak down the
front. When opened, the upper wall of the machine was noted to have a black mold-like substance. LPN
#107 looked inside the ice machine to confirm the observation and said, oh yeah, that's mold. Interview on
02/23/26 at 3:20 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed there was a black substance in the ice machine.
When asked if she thought residents should consume ice from the machine, the Administrator stated, No.
