Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to ensure all food items were held at a safe holding temperature and at point of service to prevent potential food borne illness. This had the potential to affect 30 residents who received meals from the kitchen and excluded Resident #26, #13 and #19 who received nothing by mouth (NPO) and Resident #15, #8, #34, #10 and #36 who received an alternative meal item during the 08/25/21 evening meal. The facility census was 38.
Findings include: On 08/25/21 at 4:46 P.M. observation of tray line service for the evening meal with Dietary Supervisor #132 was completed. At 5:25 P.M. the temperature of the food items were obtained which included potato salad that was 55 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Dietary Manager (DM) #105 then re-tested the potato salad with a second thermometer because she thought the first thermometer was not calibrated correctly. The potato salad was 53 degrees F. DM #105 then tested the potato salad directly from the line tray in both a plastic bowl and then on a Styrofoam plate because DM #105 revealed she thought the plastic bowl temperature might have been heated and brought up the temperature of the potato salad. The potato salad in both the plastic bowl and the Styrofoam plate when re-tested were 52 degrees F. Interview on 08/25/21 at 5:35 P.M. with DM #105 confirmed the temperature of the potato salad was not below 52 degrees F despite the multiple testings. The facility identified 30 residents who would received the potato salad with their meal on this date. Of the total 38 residents residing in the facility, Resident #26, #13 and #19 received nothing by mouth (NPO) and Resident #15, #8, #34, #10 and #36 received an alternative meal item to the potato salad during the 08/25/21 evening meal and were therefore not affected. Review of the facility policy titled Food Preparation and Service, revised 04/2019 revealed proper hot and cold temperatures were to be maintained during food service. Cold food items should be held at 41 degrees F or below.

There were no residents who had clostridium difficile at the time of the survey. Housekeeper #107 revealed she had received two days of orientation and she had worked at the facility four days. On 08/25/21 at 1:30 P.M. a request was made to [NAME] President of Operations (VPO) #108 for information regarding the facility disinfectant. VPO #108 revealed Housekeeper #107 was new to the position but acknowledged she was working independently and should be knowledgeable about the products and how to use them. On 08/25/21 at 4:25 P.M. VPO #108 provided product information on Diffense disinfecting cleaner and indicated this was the product staff were supposed to use if there was a resident with Clostridium difficile. Otherwise, the facility general disinfectant (Super HDQ) was to be used which was effective against the coronavirus.
