Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation of trayline, review of a test tray, interview, record review and policy review the facility failed to ensure meals were served at palatable temperatures. This had the potential to affect all 49 residents residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include: Observation of lunch trayline on 08/27/19 starting at 12:03 P.M. revealed a meal consisting of bruchetta chicken (breaded chicken breast with tomatoes and cheese), buttered bowtie pasta, Italian green beans, a bread stick and an ice cream cup. Temperatures were taken at the start of trayline by [NAME] #106 with the facility's self-calibrating digital thermometer and were as follows: pureed noodles 166 degrees Fahrenheit (F), pureed green beans 178 degrees F, mashed potatoes 197 degrees F, pureed chicken bruchetta 158 degrees F, ground chicken bruchetta 149 degrees F, noodles 143 degrees F, green beans 209 degrees F, chicken 182 degrees F and milk 33 degrees F. Trayline started on 08/27/19 at 12:10 P.M. and a test tray was requested for the back (secured) unit. The back unit meals were started at 12:21 P.M., the test tray was assembled at 12:27 P.M., the cart left the kitchen at 12:35 P.M., the cart arrived on the back unit at 12:37 P.M. and staff began to pass trays at 12:37 P.M. until 12:46 P.M. The test tray was assessed with Dietary Manager (DM) #100 on 08/27/19 at 12:47 P.M. Temperatures were taken by DM #100 with the facility's self-calibrating digital thermometer and were as follows: bowtie pasta 110 degrees F, chicken bruchetta 136 degrees F, milk 40.8 degrees F and green beans 119.9 degrees F. The meal was appetizing in appearance but all three hot foods tested tasted lukewarm. Interview on 08/27/19 at 12:49 P.M. with DM #100 revealed point-of-service hot temperature had to be 120 degrees F or above. DM #100 described previous concerns with hot food temperatures, so staff would put plates in the oven to heat them up prior to trayline. DM #100 denied the facility having a pellet system (heated component that fit under plates to keep them warm) or a plate-warmer but mentioned the plate bottom and lid would securely close around the plate to help maintain food temperatures. DM #100 agreed the beans and pasta could have been warmer. Interview on 08/27/19 at 2:26 P.M. with Dining Service Director (DSD) #105 revealed the facility conducted test trays routinely and used 120 degrees F as the minimum hot temperature required. DSD #105 confirmed the green bean temperature of 119.9 degrees F and the bowtie pasta temperature of 110 degrees F were not acceptable for service. Review of facility test tray audits dated 07/03/19, 07/09/19, 07/19/19, 08/08/19, 08/16/19 and 08/23/19 revealed large temperatures losses from the kitchen to the nursing units. Hot foods lost 20 to 68 degrees in temperature on these audits. An attached in-service dated 08/08/19 revealed cooks were to put plates in the oven for increased temperatures for all meals. Review of the facility food preparation and service policy (no date) revealed hot food is served hot as discerned by the resident and customary practice.
