F 0801 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician. Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to employ staff with the appropriate competencies and skill sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, taking into consideration resident assessments, individual plans of care, and the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the facility assessment required. The Dietary Manager (DM) did not have the appropriate certification, education, or qualifications to serve as the Director of Food and Nutrition Services. This deficient practice could place the residents who consume food prepared from the kitchen at risk of food borne illness and not receiving adequate nutrition. The findings included: Record review of the DM's personnel file revealed the hire date for the DM was 10/02/23. Further review of this personnel file, which included the DM's resume, did not reveal the DM was: (A) A certified dietary manager; or (B) A certified food service manager; or (C) Had similar national certification for food service management and safety from a national certifying body; or (D) Had an associate's or higher degree in food service management or in hospitality; or (E) had completed a course of study in food safety management that included topics integral to managing dietary operations including, but not limited to, foodborne illness, sanitation procedures, and food purchasing/receiving. The resume did indicate he had worked as an assistant DM in 4 other nursing facilities beginning in 2014. Record review of the DM's certification documentation provided by the facility revealed the DM successfully completed the Texas Food Safety Manager Certification Examination, effective 10/08/23, expiration date 5 years from the effective date. Record review of the facility employee files revealed the facility's RD was contracted and not a full-time employee of the facility. Interview with DM on 07/25/24 at 11:40 am revealed he had taken a short 4 hour course prior to taking the Texas Food Manager Exam. The DM stated he had not had any other dietary manager courses and was not aware he needed to be nationally certified.

The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 7:07 pm. While the IJ was removed on 07/26/24 the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated with a potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. This failure could place residents at risk of choking, decline in health and death. Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's admission Record documented a [AGE] year-old female first admitted to facility on 09/26/06 with latest admission on [DATE]. Resident #1's diagnoses included Alzheimer's Disease, aphasia following cerebral infarction, dysphagia following cerebral infarction, contracture of muscle, right lower leg, and Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications.

Resident #1's roommate, Resident #48, ate either in the dining room or in her room depending on whether or not her family was visiting. On this date, the family was in the dining room with Resident #48. Since her tray had gone to the hall, the dietary department just made her another plate. CNA A stated they try to tell the kitchen whether the residents will eat in the dining room or in their rooms so the trays can be placed on the correct cart. Residents Affected - Few During an interview with LVN D on 07/22/24 at 1:40 pm, it was revealed that she was serving as a Medication Aide on 300 and 400 Halls. LVN D stated that CNA A came and told her that she was needed in Resident #1's room since it appeared she may be choking. LVN D stated, I saw that she was red so I did the Heimlich maneuver and did a finger sweep in her mouth and got some broccoli out. LVN D stated she then relieved LVN C so LVN C could call the doctor, get an order for an x-ray and call the family. LVN D stated that her color came back to normal and her vital signs were good. LVN D stated she was coughing a little. LVN D stated that Resident #1 sometimes eats in the dining room but if she has been up all day she will be put back to bed and eat in her room. LVN D stated that Resident #48 usually sleeps until 1:00 pm and then she usually eats in the dining room or may eat in her room if her family comes and wants to feed her there. LVN D stated that Resident #1 needed total assistance to eat since she was contracted on her right side. LVN D stated she had never seen the agency CNA B in the facility before. LVN D stated that CNAs usually do a walk around to orient agency aides. She said that CNA B left right after this incident since it was at the end of the shift. During a telephone interview with CNA B on 07/22/24 at 2:00 pm, she stated that the nurse checked the trays and told her that they were all correct and to hand them out. She said she did not get any orientation on the residents on that hall since she had originally been placed on the other side of the facility. CNA B also stated she had never worked in the facility before so did not know any of the residents. CNA B stated she just looked at the room number and did not know which was the A bed or B bed. Since Resident #1 was in the room, she fed her the tray with that room number on it. CNA B also said she fed most of the tray which consisted of noodles and some other things but no vegetables. During the interview with LVN C on 07/24/24 at 3:20 pm, she explained the sequence of events for the incident with Resident #1. LVN C stated the hall trays came to the unit and I checked all the trays. The agency CNA B came out of a room and I told her I was going to the dining room. In the dining room, I saw that Resident #48's tray didn't come out on the dining room cart so I asked CNA A to go get her tray from the cart on the hall. Resident #48's family brought her to the dining room. LVN C then stated that she didn't know if Resident #48's family was going to feed her in the dining room or in her room prior to her going to the dining room. Resident #1's tray was on the dining room cart. LVN C stated that when CNA A returned to the dining room CNA A told her about the mixed-up trays so they ordered another tray for Resident #48. LVN C stated that is also when CNA A told her about Resident #1 getting the wrong tray and having issues. LVN C told CNA A to go get LVN D to either assist Resident #1 or come to the dining room so she could go and assist Resident #1. LVN C stated that LVN D took care of the situation with Resident #1 and when she was finished in the dining room she called the doctor and the family. LVN C stated she took Resident #1's vital signs and the oxygen came back up to 95% and by the time she left around 7:00 pm the oxygen level was at 98% and resident was back to normal.
