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 foods were labeled, dated and not retained when expired. This had the potential to affect 91 residents receiving food from the facility's kitchen as three residents (Residents #23, #86 and #296) were ordered nothing-by-mouth (NPO). The facility census was 94.
Findings include: Observation of the facility's nourishment refrigerators on 02/12/24 starting at 7:24 P.M. with Culinary Supervisor (CS) #274 revealed the following areas of concern: • On the Providence unit, there was a food container with Resident #347's room number and no date. • On the Lifestyles unit, in the freezer there was a freezerburnt container of ground beef dated 10/13/23. In the refrigerator, there was a container of ice cream with Resident #61's name on it dated 06/14, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich dated 02/03/23, two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without dates, an additional half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that was hard to touch and lacked a date, a clear container with a staff member's name on it with half of a sandwich inside with no date and an expired bottle of nutritional supplement dated 02/04/24. • On the Regency unit, there was expired milk dated 02/02/24, there were 2.5 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that were not dated, there was a meat and cheese sandwich dated 02/02/24, there was a meat and cheese sandwich dated 02/03/24 and there were three pudding cups dated 02/05/24. Interviews with CS #274 verified the above areas of concern at the time of observation. CS #274 stated items should be discarded six days after the date marked on the item and stated dietary staff were to check the dates on the food items in these refrigerators daily and throw out expired food. CS #274 also verified all food items needed to be labeled and dated and nurses would label residents' foods before placing them in the refrigerator. Interview on 02/13/24 at 10:12 A.M. with District Manager (DM) #321 revealed there was no documentation available showing that staff went through these refrigerators to check for expired foods since staff just had to document they delivered snacks. Review of the facility list of resident diets revealed Residents #23, #86 and #296 were NPO. Review of the document, Label and Date In-service, dated 12/15/16 revealed standard dating for prepared foods, puddings, sauces, leftovers, etc. is seven days. All products should be marked with a made on and use by date. Any other items with a clearly marked expiration date such as milk, yogurt or thickened liquids should use that clearly labeled expiration date after opening.

Based on record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure complete and accurate documentation for Residents #15 and #62. This affected one of three residents reviewed for restorative care (#62) and one of one record reviewed for transmission-based precautions (#15). The facility census was 94.
Findings Include: 1. Review of medical records for Resident #15 revealed an admission date of 10/07/20. Resident #15 was diagnosed with MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) in the urine on 06/13/23 and was subsequently placed on transmission-based precautions (contact precautions). Contact Precautions were not discontinued after completion of the appropriate antibiotic therapy. Review of Resident #15's medical records revealed the order for contact precautions was discontinued on 02/14/24. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated Resident #15 remained on contact precautions from 06/13/23 through 02/13/24. Nursing staff was documenting on the MAR daily the resident was currently on contact precautions. Observation on 02/14/24 at 12:13 PM revealed no signage on the door indicating Resident #15 was on contact precautions. Interview on 02/14/24 at 2:14 PM with Registered Nurse (RN) #322 indicated Resident #15 had been removed from contact precautions following the completion of antibiotic therapy. RN #322 confirmed the order for contact precautions remained on the MAR from 06/20/23 through 02/14/24 and was being signed daily by nursing staff. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #62 revealed an admission date of 01/05/23 with a history of cerebral infarction (stroke) and right side hemiplegia (paralysis on the right side of the body), muscle weakness, lack of coordination, contracture of the right hand, and cognitive communication deficit. Resident #62 had an order to receive restorative nursing, that included passive ROM (range of motion) for 15 minutes every day. Review of Resident #62's care plan, dated 04/18/23, revealed the nurses and nursing assistants were responsible for restorative nursing services. Review of the Restorative Task Form from 01/16/24-02/13/24 revealed no documentation of nursing staff providing Passive ROM for the dates of 01/21/24, 01/24/24, 01/27/24, 01/30/24, 02/09/24, and 02/10/24. Interviews with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #311 and STNA #313 on 02/14/24 revealed that Passive ROM was performed daily with Resident #62 during daily activities when getting dressed and ambulating. However, documentation was sometimes not done due to time constraints.
