Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility documents, resident interviews, meal tray observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide a safe temperature meal during lunch for one of one meal observation. Findings Include:The facility policy titled, MV [NAME] Hill Hot Liquids/lids Procedures- for dining rooms (dietary) staff last revised January 2024, stated temperatures for all Hot liquids coming from the kitchen must be below (150 degrees)served all hot liquids with lids on cups.On July 15, 2025, at 12:10 p.m., observations were conducted in the main dining room, where approximately 15 residents were eating lunch and dietary aides were serving lunch to them, starting with pouring pea soup. Dietary Aide, Employee E6, was observed pouring pea soup into three different bowls and directly taking them to three residents (R19, R25, R46) without allowing them to cool off.The surveyor asked, What is the serving temperature for hot liquids? It was revealed by the Dietary Director, Employee E5, that it should be 140 F or below. The surveyor then asked if a temperature could be taken of the pea soup. The Dietary Director, Employee E5, conducted a test tray with hot liquid pea soup, and it was confirmed that the soup was served at a temperature of 159 F. The surveyor notified Employee E5 that it was observed dietary staff were pouring hot pea soup and directly serving it to residents.Employee E5 and the surveyor stepped away from the soup station to continue observations. It was confirmed that another dietary aide, Employee E7, poured pea soup into a bowl and was about to take it to a resident. Before she turned to walk away, Employee E5 prompted her, Don't forget to temp the soup. Employee E7 heard the prompt and asked for a thermometer.On July 15, 2025, at 12:24 p.m., an interview was conducted with Dietary Aide, Employee E6, who confirmed that she did serve hot pea soup to Residents R19, R25, and R46 without letting it sit to cool off. It was further revealed that dietary aides have been trained to always check the temps before serving hot liquids. E6 shared the reason she failed to check the temperatures was because I have a lot on my mind. Residents R19, R25, and R46 are not alert and oriented, and Resident R46 is legally blind.On July 15, 2025, at 12:28 p.m., an interview was conducted with Dietary Aide, Employee E7, who was observed pouring the soup into a bowl and heading toward a resident when prompted by Employee E5 to temp the soup before serving. E7 responded, I should have temped it before he (E5) said something. The last time E7 received training on how to serve hot liquids was two years ago. E7 further explained, I was trying to get the soup to the resident before the meal gets to them because they eat the meal and leave the soup.During the Resident Council meeting held on July 15, 2025, at 1:30 PM, seven alert and oriented residents (R26, R18, R39, R30, R42, R14, and R23) indicated that the soup served that day was hot. Resident R18 reported, My soup was so hot that I needed to wait for it to cool down. I ate my sandwich first, and then the soup was cool enough for me to eat.Resident R26 reported during the meeting, When my friend (R41) was sitting beside me, the soup was hot, and I told her while eating it, ‘Don't go all the way to the bottom, but take it from the top, as it's a lot cooler on the top of the soup. Don't go down to the bottom with your soup.Resident R23 reported, My roommate (R7) placed ice cubes from her iced tea into her soup to cool it down because it was hot. Then Resident R26 said, We all know it's hot, and added, I think most of us are aware that it's hot. I think 10-20 people had soup today. It needs to be checked out to ensure safe temperatures are present.On July 17, 2025, at 10:01, Employee E5 confirmed that hot liquids were not served at the preferred temperatures. 28 PA.
