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 118 residents receiving food from the
facility's kitchen as Resident #13 was ordered nothing-by-mouth (NPO). The facility census was 119
residents.
Findings include:
Observation of the unit refrigerators on 12/14/23 starting at 10:23 A.M. with Dietary Manager (DM) #263
revealed the following areas of concern:
•
In the east dining room refrigerator, a bag with Resident #17's name on it had a sell by date of 10/01/23
and contained bread and soup. There was a container with Resident #23's name on it that had no date and
contained salad and pita bread. There was a pizza box labeled with Resident #4's name and the date
12/03/23. There was a pie with no name or date and another pizza with no name or date. On the door of the
refrigerator, a sign in bright pink stated, RESIDENT FOOD ITEMS ONLY. All items must be dated. Discard
all items after 72 hours once opened. An additional sign in bright orange dated 05/02/19 read, ATTENTION
ALL STAFF AND FAMILY MEMBERS: All food and beverages must be labeled with [the] resident's name
and dated. Food and beverages will be thrown away three days from the date that is marked on the item.
•
In the west nutrition room, a putrid odor was present immediately upon opening the door. No thermometer
was present in the refrigerator. Two undated and unlabeled takeout bags were noted that had a strong odor.
There was a container with Resident #105's name and no date. A bottle of expired French dressing dated
12/06/23 was in the door of the refrigerator.
•
In the memory care refrigerator, the bottom shelf was stained and there was not a thermometer. There was
a container of expired milk dated 12/02/23 and an opened milk that expired 12/13/23. There was a can of
whipped cream with the date 06/05/21 in the door of the refrigerator and an undated bag of shredded

Residents Affected - Many
discovery. DM #263 stated the State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNAs) would yell at dietary staff when
they tried to throw away resident food so going through the refrigerators had been difficult.
Interview on 12/14/23 at 10:58 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Interim Administrator
revealed families were responsible for labeling and dating resident food before putting it in the designated
refrigerators but staff would remind them to do this. Dietary staff were ultimately responsible for going
through these refrigerators to dispose of expired food.
Review of a list of resident diets provided by the facility revealed Resident #13 received nothing by mouth.
Review of the undated policy regarding food brought into the facility revealed no staff food may be stored in
unit refrigerators. Food brought in by the resident, family or visitors for resident use will be labeled with the
resident's name and the date the item was stored. Food would be kept five days from label date then
discarded except condiments which would be kept for two months (60 days) and non-perishable drinks and
frozen foods would be kept one month (30 days). Any food or beverage that is not labeled with the
residents' name and date will be discarded immediately.
This deficiency is an example of noncompliance investigated under Master Complaint Number
OH00148665.
