Interview on 08/13/25 at 9:41 A.M., the ED stated the survey result binder was available for residents, staff, visitors, or anyone. She stated anyone could ask a staff member or the receptionist where the survey binder was located and have access to it.

The MRC stated she also was not completing the SNF ABN forms because she was not aware of the form. Interview on 08/14/25 at 3:50 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was her expectation that the facility staff followed the CMS regulations and that the SNF ABN form be used when a resident was transitioning from Medicare Part A to private pay.During an interview on 08/14/25 at 4:03 P.M., with the Executive Director (ED) stated she was aware of the concerns related to the SNF ABN documents.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, staff interview, policy review, and review of the 2022 United States Food and Drug Administration Food Code, the facility failed to ensure dietary staff wore appropriate hair (beard) covers while in the food preparation area. This had the potential to affect 104 of 104 residents who received meals from the kitchen, excluding Resident #1. The facility census was 105. Findings included: Observation on 08/11/25 at 11:16 A.M., during the initial tour, [NAME] #9 was observed in the food preparation area with long, facial hair that was approximately an inch in length, uncovered. Food Service Supervisor (FSS) #8 was also observed walking around the food preparation areas and counters, with facial hair approximately an inch in length, uncovered.Interview on 08/11/25 at 11:16 A.M., with the Director of Dining Services (DDS) stated they did not use the beard restraints unless the beard was especially long and drawn out. He gave no precise measurements on what the threshold would be. He confirmed the staff had just completed the lunch service.Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:16 A.M., with [NAME] #9 stated he had taken the beard restraint off during the initial tour observation. He stated he wore the beard restrain every day in the kitchen.Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:18 A.M., with FSS #8 stated that he normally wore beard restraints, and the policy stated they were required to wear beard restraints if they had facial hair. He stated that the Director of Dining Services (DDS) did not usually wear a beard restraint. He stated the staff only wore a beard restraint if their beard were the length of his beard or longer. Observation on 08/13/25 at 11:27 A.M., the Assistant Director of Nutrition (ADON) was observed in the food preparation areas with no beard restraint. He had facial hair that was approximately an eighth of an inch in length. Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:33 A.M., the ADN stated he had seen FSS #8 and [NAME] #9 in the kitchen without beard restraints, but they were usually supervising rather than preparing food and stated he only wore a beard restraint if he was preparing food, not necessarily if he was just in the kitchen.During a follow-up interview on 08/15/25 at 9:28 A.M., the DDS stated if staff could grasp their facial hair, they wore a beard restraint. Per the DDS, beard restraints were only worn in situations where the hair could fall in the food. He stated that hair restraints should be worn whenever staff were in food preparation areas, regardless of whether there was the potential that hair could fall into food. The DDS was unable to explain why there was a distinction between his expectation for hair restraints and beard restraints. The DDS stated that he wanted staff to put on a hair restraint prior to entering the kitchen.Interview on 08/15/2025 at 9:58 AM, the Executive Director (ED) stated that the facility should follow regulations regarding beard restraints. The ED stated it was her understanding that beard restraints were not necessary if the staff were not handling food. She stated this applied to hair restraints too. Review of the untitled policy, revised August 2018, indicated, A. When entering the kitchen all employees must wear a hair restraint properly. Examples include hair restraints, hats, and beard nets that cover body hair as applicable. B. Hair restraints to be worn effectively to keep hair from contacting exposed food, equipment, utensils, and linens. C. Hair restraints must always be worn when working in kitchens, pantries, or food prep areas.Review of the 2022 Food Code U.S. [United States] Food and Drug Administration, 01/18/23 version, indicated, (A) Except as provided in (B) of this section, FOOD EMPLOYEES shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, beard restraints, and clothing that covers body hair, that are designed and worn to effectively keep their hair from contacting exposed FOOD; clean EQUIPMENT, UTENSILS, and LINENS; and unwrapped SINGLE-SERVICE and SINGLE-USE ARTICLES.
