Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food under sanitary conditions in accordance with professional standards for food safety in the facility kitchen. 1) CNA A failed to put on a hair net before entering the facility kitchen. This failure could place residents receiving food from the facility kitchen at risk for cross contamination. The findings included: During an observation on 08/08/2024 at 9:45 a.m., no hair nets were observed in the wall mounted container labeled hair nets on the outside of the facility kitchen entrance. During an observation during kitchen rounds on, 08/08/2024 at 9:50 a.m., CNA A was observed entering the kitchen and walking approximately 4 feet to the ice machine without a hair net covering her hair. Dietary Aide A was observed approaching CNA A and asked her to leave the kitchen. During an interview with the Dietary Manager on, 08/08/2024 at 9:52 a.m., the Dietary Manager stated it was mandatory for all employees to wear a hair net in the kitchen.

The Dietary Manager stated staff had received training on wearing hair nets in the kitchen a few months ago. During an interview with Dietary Aide A on, 08/08/2024 at 9:56 a.m., Dietary Aide A stated she asked CNA A to step out of the kitchen when she noticed CNA A did not have on a hair net. Dietary Aide A said the staff had received training on wearing hair nets in the kitchen and said it was important to wear a hair net because hair can fall into the resident's food, drinks or appliances. During an interview with CNA A on, 08/08/2024 at 11:25 a.m., CNA A confirmed she entered the kitchen without a hair net covering her hair and stated she had received training prior to 08/08/2024 about the importance of wearing hair nets in the kitchen.
