F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to prepare and serve food in a sanitary manner. This affected 44 of 45 residents residing in the facility (Resident #20 does not take nutrition by mouth). The census was 45. Findings Include: Observations on 07/29/19 at 8:54 A.M., revealed a hood range above the stove and lights covered with a layer of dust and grease. These observations were verified by the Director of Dietary (DD). The DD stated the hood had not been cleaned since 05/22/19; this was verified by a sticker located on the outside of hood range. Observations on 07/30/19 at 11:15 A.M., revealed Kitchen Aide (KA) #302 was observed to be wearing gloves as he grabbed cups, trays and cooked hamburgers on the stove. KA#302 pulled bread out of the bag and placed cold cuts on bread without washing hands or changing gloves. DD verified these observations and instructed KA#302 on proper hand washing and changing gloves. Observations made on 07/30/19 at 4:50 P.M., KA #301 placed a stack of frozen hamburgers on the counter, which had meal trays lying on it. The hamburgers were not wrapped, there was no barrier between the hamburgers and the counter top. Interview on 07/30/19 at 4:55 P.M., KA#301 stated that she was going to place the hamburgers on a cookie tray and verified there was no barrier between the raw meat and the counter. Observations on 07/31/19 at 12:00 P.M., KA#300 was observed setting meal trays on counter top, adding drinks, utensils and small cups. KA#300 grabbed paper wrapping, while wearing gloves, and lifted the garbage can lid, placed garbage in can, then grabbed a cup of cottage cheese without washing hands or changing gloves. Interview on 07/31/19 at 12:05 P.M., DD verified that KA#300 did not change gloves or wash hands. DD instructed KA#300 to change gloves and wash hands. Review of Dietary Services policy (dated 2016) revealed that hands are to be washed and gloves changed after handling garbage, food is to be placed on sanitary surfaces, and the hood range is to be cleaned weekly. This deficiency is evidence of continued noncompliance from the survey dated 07/16/19.
