Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain respect and dignity for one
of 22 sampled residents (Resident 439), when Resident 439's bilateral buttocks' sides were exposed in the
hallway during transfer.
This failure decreased the facility's potential to maintain Resident 439's respect and dignity.
Findings:
A review of an admission record indicated Resident 439 was admitted to the facility in 2024 with a
diagnosis of panic disorder (a frequent and unexpected panic attack).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25 at 9:54 a.m. with Resident 439's daughter,
Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) was wheeling Resident 439 on a shower chair in the hallway.
Resident 439's bilateral buttocks' sides were not covered by the gown and were exposed to other residents,
staff members, and Resident 439's daughter. Resident 439's daughter stated there was a respect and
dignity issue when Resident 439's body was exposed.
During an interview on 2/6/25 at 9:34 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated staff should
have covered Resident 439 with a blanket when transferred in the hallway; otherwise, Resident 439 will feel
bad if left exposed to the public.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Dignity, dated 2/2021, indicated, Each resident shall be cared for in a
manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, and
feeling of self-worth and self-esteem.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an appropriate
communication method for one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 70), when Licensed Nurse 7 (LN 7) was
unable to find a communication board to communicate with Resident 70.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure decreased the facility's potential to address Resident 70's basic needs.
Findings:
A review of an admission Record indicated Resident 70 was admitted to the facility in 2024 with diagnoses
including speech and language deficits.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/25 at 8:53 a.m. with Resident 70 in her room,

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure pharmacy services were maintained
for a census of 96 residents, when:
1. Controlled drug (medication that may be abused or cause addiction) record form was not filled out and
signed immediately at the time of medication administration for Resident 445; and
2. Unused or expired, controlled drugs were not destroyed according to the facility's policy.
These failures had the potential for diversion or misuse of residents' controlled medications.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent inspection of medication cart A on [DATE] at 11:14 a.m. with Licensed Nurse 4 (LN
4), a controlled drug count for Resident 445's hydromorphone (a medication used for pain), two milligrams
(mg; unit of measure) was inaccurate. There were 10 tablets of hydromorphone two mg in the medication
bubble pack and the controlled drug log indicated there should be 11.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. with LN 4, LN 4 stated she gave Resident 445 hydromorphone
earlier and forgot to sign the medication control count sheet after giving the medication to the resident. LN 4
acknowledged the medication control count sheet needed to be completed at the time of medication
administration.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:41p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated the medication
control count sheet needed to be completed at time of medication administration.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Controlled Substances Policy, revised in 2019,
indicated, Controlled substances are reconciled upon receipt, administration, disposition, and at the end of
each shift . Upon administration: a. The nurse administering the medication is responsible for recording: (1)
name of resident receiving the medication; (2) name, strength and dose of the medication; (3) time of
administration; (4) method of administration; (5) quantity of the medication remaining; and (6) signature of
nurse administering medication.
2. During an inspection of the unused and expired controlled medications storage area on [DATE] at 9:55
a.m. in the DON's office, it was discovered upon removing the lid on the container used to store destroyed
controlled medication, that pills of various sizes, shapes and colors were identifiable, legible and not
destroyed. The method being used by the facility to render the medications destroyed entailed placing them
in a container of liquid.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:56 a.m. with DON, DON acknowledged that the pills in the controlled
medication storage container were identifiable, and not destroyed.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Controlled Substances Policy, revised in 2019, indicated, . Upon
Disposition: b. Medications that are opened and subsequently not given (refused or only partly
administered) are destroyed. Waste and/or disposal of controlled medication are done in the presence of a
nurse and a witness who also signs the disposition sheet Controlled substances are reconciled

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to keep one of 22 sampled residents
(Resident 64) free of unnecessary psychotropic medication (drug prescribed to affect the mind, emotions or
behavior), when Resident 64 was receiving divalproex sodium (a psychotropic medication indicated for
seizure treatment and mood disorders) for an inadequate indication.
This failure increased Resident 64's potential for unwanted adverse effects such as sedation and falls.
Findings:
A review of an admission record indicated Resident 64 was 78-years old, admitted in May 2024 to the
facility from an acute care hospital with diagnoses including worsening disease of the nervous system,
anxiety, depression, and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) with behavioral
disturbance.
A review of Residents 64's Care Plan, dated 5/16/24, indicated Resident 64 was at risk for fall and injury
related to her diagnoses.
A review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Sets (MDS-an assessment tool), dated 5/23/24, 8/23/24, and
11/23/24, indicated a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of four out of 15 with severely impaired
cognition. MDS assessments further indicated Resident 64 exhibited no indicators of psychosis, such as
hallucinations (sensory experience of something not present); delusions (an impression or belief not based
on reality); or verbal or physical behavioral symptoms directed toward others.
A review of Resident 64's active physician orders, dated 2/5/25, indicated the following psychotropic
medications:
1. divalproex sodium oral capsule delayed release sprinkle 125 milligrams (mg; a unit of measure). Give two
capsules by mouth two times a day for dementia with behavioral disturbances manifested by hallucination.
2. divalproex sodium oral capsule delayed release sprinkle 125 mg for dementia. Give three capsules by
mouth in the evening for dementia with behavioral disturbances.
A review of Resident 64's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 2/6/25, indicated Resident 64
was administered divalproex sodium 625 mg daily divided in multiple doses continuously in the morning
and evening from 5/17/24 to 2/6/25 (still receiving currently), over a period of almost a year.
A review of a letter from the Department of Health Care Services, dated 5/14/24, indicated Resident 64 did
not have a serious mental illness.
During an observation on 2/5/25 at 10:40 a.m., Resident 64 was awake, eyes open, lying in bed, looking
forward, television on, appeared calm, and not in distress.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:42 a.m. with Home Health Aide 1 (HHA 1) with Yolo Hospice, HHA1

stated she worked with Resident 64 every Wednesday, felt safe caring for her, was not a danger to herself
or others, and never saw her combative or hallucinating. HHA 1 further stated when she assisted Resident
64 for shower she sometimes could tell Resident 64 did not like water or was startled by it when turned on.
HHA 1 also added when talking to Resident 64, she would not respond in a manner that signaled an
understanding or ability to answer questions and seemed confused.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:50 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA) 3, CNA 3 stated she
routinely provided care four days a week to Resident 64, felt safe caring for her, was not a danger to herself
or others, was very confused and sleepy, said few things sometimes, but was mostly very confused, did not
yell out, was not combative, and guarded herself when her briefs needed change. CNA 3 further stated it
took Resident 64 two hours to consume her breakfast because she fell asleep during her meal and dropped
her fork and spoon, and did not usually eat her lunch because by the time she received it, she just have
finished her breakfast. CNA 3 also added Resident 64 did not know how to use the call light, needed
frequent assessment, monitoring and attendance to needs, and her room was located at the end of the hall.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:58 a.m. with Licensed Nurse 6 (LN 6), LN 6 stated she felt safe caring
for Resident 64 and was not a danger to herself or others.
During an attempt to interview the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP) on 2/5/25 at 11:44 a.m., the
department was unable to get a hold of the CP.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 4:19 p.m. with Medical Doctor (MD), MD stated Resident 64 was
prescribed divalproex sodium for dementia and behaviors, did not know if divalproex sodium was approved
by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as indicated for dementia with or without behaviors.
A review of divalproex's manufacturer Prescribing Information (PI), last revised in 10/2011, did not indicate
divalproex sodium was for treatment of dementia. PI further indicated divalproex was associated with the
following side effects including but not limited to an increased risk of falls, headaches, drowsiness,
dizziness, vision problems, insomnia (inability to sleep), and abnormal thinking.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 4:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON was unable to explain
why the facility's MD and CP had not reassessed Resident 64 for the unnecessary use and unapproved
indication of divalproex to treat dementia.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Psychotropic Medication Use, revised in 2022,
indicated, Residents who have not used psychotropic medications are not prescribed or given these
medications unless the medication is determined to be necessary to treat a specific condition that is
diagnosed and documented in the medical record . Medications not classified as anti-psychotic,
anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and hypnotic medication are not prescribed or administered as a substitution
for another psychotropic medication unless there is a documented clinical indication consistent with clinical
standard of practice . Categories of medications which affect brain activity such as antihistamines,
anti-cholinergic medications, and central nervous system medications that are prescribed as a substitute for
an adjunct to a psychotropic medication are monitored and managed as psychotropic medications . When
determining whether to initiate, modify, or discontinue medication therapy, the IDT [Interdisciplinary team]
conducts an evaluation of the resident. The evaluation will attempt to clarify whether: . a particular
medication is clinically indicated to manage the symptoms or condition.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate did
not exceed five percent (%; unit of measure) for two of five sampled residents (Resident 140 and Resident
36).
Residents Affected - Some
1. Licensed Nurse 2 (LN 2) administered Resident 140's extended release (ER) isosorbide mononitrate
(medication used to treat chest pain) 30 milligrams (mg; unit of measure) tablet not in accordance with
physician order, when LN 2 crushed the ER tablet and released the medication all at once instead of
gradually over time. This error had a potential to lead to an overdose or severe side effects.
2. LN 2 administered Resident 140's delayed release (DR) pantoprazole (a medication used to treat
indigestion) 40 mg tablet not in accordance with physician order, when LN 2 crushed the DR tablet and
released the medication all at once instead of gradually over time. This error had a potential to lead to an
overdose or severe side effects.
3. LN 2 omitted administering Resident 140's physician ordered medication, amlodipine (a medication used
to treat high blood pressure and heart disease) five mg tablet. This omission had the potential to lead to an
increase in blood pressure, and/or an adverse outcome to Resident 140.
4. LN 3 did not administer Resident 36's scheduled ordered dose of 180 mg of simethicone (a medication
used to treat abdominal bloating) due to the facility's failure to attain and have available the physician
ordered dosage of the medication. This failure had the potential to lead to pain and/or discomfort to
Resident 36.
As a result, four errors were identified out of 28 opportunities, during the observation of medication
administration. The medication error rate was 14.29%.
Findings:
1. During an observation of medication administration on 2/3/25 at 8:35 a.m., LN 2 was observed to
prepare and administer Resident 140's morning medications which included one isosorbide mononitrate
extended release 30 mg tablet. LN 2 was observed to crush six medication tablets.
Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 140's current physician orders
indicated an order for isosorbide mononitrate ER 30 mg tablet to be given by mouth daily at 8 a.m. The
order did not contain instructions to crush the medication.
A review of Resident 140's isosorbide mononitrate ER 30 mg pharmacy label, stated Do Not Crush.
2. During an observation of medication administration on 2/3/25 at 8:35 a.m., LN 2 was observed to
prepare and administer Resident 140's morning medications which included one pantoprazole delayed
release 40 mg tablet. LN 2 was observed to crush six medication tablets.
Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 140's current physician orders
indicated an order for pantoprazole delayed release 40 mg to be given by mouth daily at 7 a.m. The order
did not contain instructions to crush the medication.
During an interview on 2/3/25 at 3:15 p.m. with LN 2, LN 2 stated it was not an acceptable practice

3. During an observation of medication administration on 2/3/25 at 8:35 a.m., LN 2 was observed to
prepare and administer Resident 140's morning medications which did not include Resident 140's
amlodipine five mg tablet.
Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 140's current physician orders
indicated an order for amlodipine five mg to be given by mouth daily.
A review of Resident 140's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 2/3/25, indicated amlodipine
five mg tablet was given at 8 a.m.
During an interview on 2/3/25 at 3:15 p.m. with LN 2, LN 2 acknowledged only six oral medications were
administered to Resident 140. If amlodipine five mg was administered, it would have been seven oral
medications administered to Resident 140. LN 2 stated medications should have been administered as
prescribed by the physician.
During an interview on 2/4/25 at 10:05 a.m. with the DON, DON stated I have already heard about the
amlodipine not being given to one of our residents. DON further stated medications were to be
administered as ordered and Resident 140 should have received her amlodipine as prescribed.
4. During an observation of medication administration on 2/3/25 at 9:46 a.m., LN 3 was observed preparing
Resident 36's morning medications, which did not include simethicone 180 mg capsule since the
medication was unavailable.
During an interview on 2/3/25 at 9:50 a.m. with LN 3, LN 3 stated she did not have the correct dose of
simethicone in the medication cart to administer it to Resident 36.
Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 36's current physician orders
indicated an order for simethicone 180 mg capsule by mouth after meals for gas.
During an interview on 2/4/25 at 10:05 a.m. with the DON, DON stated the correct dose of medication was
not available to be administered which required staff to contact the physician and revise the order
accordingly. DON acknowledged that the ordered medication should have been available for LN 3 to
administer it to Resident 36.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Administering Medications Policy, revised in 2019,
indicated, Medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed . Medications are
administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including required time frame.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were stored
correctly, when:
1. A medication was stored in the refrigerator, not according to manufacturer's specification;
2. A medication was stored at room temperature, not according to manufacturer's specification; and
3. A discontinued medication was not removed from the medication storage room and was still accessible
to the staff.
These failures had the potential for medication misuse, drug diversion, medication ineffectiveness, and
medication administration errors.
Findings:
1. During an inspection on 2/4/25 at 9:37 a.m. of the facility's medication storage room, a discontinued,
unopened medication, cyanocobalamin 1,000 micrograms/milliliters (mcg/ml; a unit of measure) was found
stored in the refrigerator, not according to manufacturer's required storage parameters.
A review of the manufacturer's package insert with a revised date of 2017, cyanocobalamin 1,000 mcg/ml,
indicated to be stored between 68 degrees (a unit of measure) - 77 degrees Fahrenheit (scale of
temperature).
During an interview on 2/4/25 at 9:42 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON acknowledged that

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the nutritive value of food was
maintained, when broccoli was cooked for over two hours prior to lunch meal service.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential of leading to nutrient deficiency for the 96 residents receiving facility prepared
meals.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/4/25 at 9:48 a.m., in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 poured frozen broccoli into a pan
and placed it into the convection oven to cook.
During an observation on 2/4/25 at 12:22 p.m., in the kitchen, lunch meal service started. Observation of
the broccoli showed a light green color, with a soft, limp texture when served.
During the lunch meal on 2/4/25 at 1:15 p.m., two test trays were placed on the final meal cart (a regular
diet and a pureed texture). The two test trays were picked up at 1:30 p.m. Food items tasted were: Regular
pork with gravy, pureed pork with gravy, regular seasoned broccoli, pureed seasoned broccoli, and polenta.
The broccoli was extremely soft (mushy) when tasted by five surveyors.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 11 a.m. with Registered Dietitian (RD), RD stated the cook was expected
to put the vegetables in the oven last, and if vegetables were cooked for a long period of time, vitamins and
minerals from the vegetables would be dead.
A review from Ohio State University (https://fcs.[NAME].edu>SNAP_Ed_newsletter_broccoli), indicated
that overcooked broccoli loses nutrients.
A review from Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service
(https://www.uaex.uada.edu>news>fcs>fruits-veggies), indicated that broccoli had nutrients
including carotenoids and fiber. Known for its anti-cancer properties, broccoli has tons of nutrients including
vitamins A and C, fiber, folic acid, calcium, and potassium. Avoid overcooking because discoloration will
occur, as well as strong flavors are likely to develop. For best flavor, cooked broccoli should be crisp.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 5:04 p.m. with Dietary Manager (DM), DM stated broccoli have been
usually cooked 30 minutes before the start of meal service.
During a review of Recipe: Seasoned Broccoli, dated 2024, indicated, Cooking Time: 10-20 minutes . Boil
or steam broccoli until tender . Do not overcook, will turn brown and mushy .

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a resident refrigerator and microwave for
a census of 96 to ensure safe food storage and reheating of food for later consumption.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential to prevent residents from enjoying favorite foods, reduced resident food
options, and potentially lead to weight loss.
Findings:
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 12:13 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated
outside food would be checked against the diet order before it would be given to the resident. If a resident
had left over food, it could not stay in the room for more than two hours before the facility would discard it.
CNA 1 further stated that they do not refrigerate food for residents, because there was not a refrigerator
and microwave for resident use.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 12:18 p.m. with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1), LN 1 stated they advised family
members against bringing perishable foods as the facility did not store or re-heat resident food.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 12:37 p.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated residents were allowed to keep food
in their rooms up to 24 hours, and after that it would be discarded. CNA 2 further stated facility did not store

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow infection control practices for three of
22 sampled residents (Resident 441, Resident 69, and Resident 290), when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Licensed Nurse 6 (LN 6) did not change gloves during wound care treatment for Resident 441;
2. LN 6 did not follow proper handwashing and glove changing procedures during wound treatment for
Resident 69; and
3. Resident 290's midline (a thin, flexible tube inserted into a vein in the upper arm and used to administer
medicines and fluid directly into blood) dressing on left upper arm (LUA) was soiled and not changed for
nine days.
These failures decreased the facility's potential to prevent spread of infections among vulnerable residents.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 441's admission Record, indicated Resident 441 was admitted to the facility in 2024
with a diagnosis of sepsis (harmful microorganisms in the blood or other tissues that could potentially lead
to malfunction of the organs, shock, and death).
A review of Resident 441's Order Summary Report, dated 2/6/25, indicated Resident 441 had a left buttock
wound. The order further indicated to cleanse the wound using wound cleaning solution and gauze, apply
skin prep and vacuum transparent drape to peri wound skin, fill with black foam and bridge to anterior
portion of thigh area, cover with drape, apply wound-assisted closure (VAC; a suction device dressing to
apply negative pressure to a wound), and change dressing three times per week.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/5/25 at 11:41 a.m. with LN 6 inside Resident 441's
room, LN 6 was providing wound VAC treatment for Resident 441. LN 6 placed two trash bags right next to
Resident 441's buttock wound and beside the clean field wound supplies on the bed. LN 6 removed
multiple times the outer transparent drape (dressing) and discarded it in the trash bag, touched the soiled
dressing in the trash bag, and then touched Resident 441's wound dressing using the same gloved hand.
LN 6 did not perform hand hygiene or changed gloves after touching the soiled dressing in the trash bag.
LN 6 confirmed no hand hygiene was performed and soiled gloves were not changed and stated it might
lead to cross contamination and wound infection.
During an interview on 2/6/25 at 9:34 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated LN 6's infection
control and cross contamination issue might impact Resident 441's wound healing.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Handwashing/Hand hygiene, dated 8/2019, indicated, Use an
alcohol-based hand rub . or, alternatively, soap . and water . before handling clean or soiled dressing, gauze

2. A review of Resident 69's admission Record, indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a
diagnosis of severe sepsis with septic shock (widespread infection in the body causing organ failure and
dangerously low blood pressure).
A review of Resident 69's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated
12/18/24, indicated she had a stage three pressure ulcer (injury to skin and underlying tissues resulting
from prolonged pressure on the skin) on her tailbone with full thickness tissue loss and visible fat deposits.
A review of Resident 69's Care Plan, revised 1/24/25, indicated she was being monitored and treated for
skin/wound care due to increased size in her tailbone pressure ulcer.
During an observation on 2/5/25 at 9:30 a.m., LN 6 prepared for Resident 69's wound care treatment. LN 6
used her gloved hands to wash Resident 69's unclean pressure ulcer with disinfectant (a chemical that
destroys bacteria) and gauze, then continued to wear the contaminated gloves to apply medicated cream
and dressing covers to the pressure ulcer.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:34 a.m. with LN 6, LN 6 stated she was aware of the need to wash
hands and change gloves after switching from a contaminated to a clean body site. LN 6 stated that by not
following proper hand hygiene protocol during wound care, Resident 69's risk of infection would increase.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 4:43 p.m. with the Infection Prevention nurse (IP), IP stated nurses should
follow the facility's hand hygiene measures when providing wound care to prevent the growth of bacterial
infections among residents.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, revised August 2019, indicated, All
personnel shall follow the handwashing/hand hygiene procedures to prevent the spread of infections to .
residents. The policy further indicated, Use an alcohol-based hand rub . or soap and water . Before and
after direct contact with patients . Before moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Personal Protective-Gloves, revised July 2009, indicated, The use of
disposable gloves is indicated during all cleaning of blood, body fluids, and decontaminating procedures .
Gloves shall be used only once and discarded.3. A review of Resident 290's admission Record, indicated
Resident 290 was admitted to the facility in January 2025 with multiple diagnoses including sepsis and
acute kidney failure (a sudden loss of kidney function; filtering waste from blood as urine).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25 at 10:42 a.m. with Resident 290, a midline
dressing was observed on Resident 290's LUA with a see-through dressing dated 1/25/25. Dark colored

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain equipment in safe operating
condition, when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. The Walk-in freezer was found with ice build-up on ceiling, floor, door, walls, and fan unit indicating
potential temperature changes;
2. The dish machine's required minimum temperatures were not reached; and
3. The convection oven was not achieving the desired food temperature for the pork at or above 165
degrees Fahrenheit (F, a unit of measurement).
These failures had the potential of leading to food borne illness for the 96 residents eating facility prepared
meals.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25 at 8:51 a.m. with Dietary Manager (DM) in the
walk-in freezer, the walk-in freezer was observed with ice build-up on the fan unit, ceiling, and pieces of ice
on the floor. DM stated maintenance was in earlier removing ice build-up in the freezer which may be the
cause of the ice on the floor.
During an observation on 2/3/25 at 11:38 a.m., in the walk-in freezer, the ice on the floor had been cleaned
up. Ice build-up was still observed covering the ceiling, walls, and boxes on the racks.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/25 at 8:57 a.m. with Environmental Services Director
(ESD), in the walk-in freezer, the walk-in freezer was observed with ice build-up on ceiling, walls, and
boxes. ESD acknowledged ice build-up and stated the ice on the floor on 2/3/25 was from him loosening the
ice build-up elsewhere in the freezer.
During a follow-up observation on 2/4/25 at 4:19 p.m., in the walk-in freezer, the walk-in freezer showed
high condensation and poor visibility. The ice build-up was greater than the earlier observation, and a
two-and-a-half-inch drip had developed over the door.
During a subsequent interview on 2/4/25 at 4:20 p.m. with DM, DM acknowledged there was ice build-up in
the freezer and confirmed that ice build-up in the freezer was not okay.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:50 a.m. with Registered Dietitian (RD), RD stated ice build-up in walk-in
freezer could affect the quality of the food and possibly cause freezer burn.
Facility unable to provide original walk-in freezer manual and referred surveyors to [NAME] Refrigerated
Boxes as being like the freezer in use.
A review of the service manual at [NAME] Refrigerated Boxes, Inc. Revised: 5/2013
(http://www.ballyrefboxes.com/bally_walk-incooler_freezer.asp), indicated in Routine Maintenance, that; D.
Heater wires should be checked for proper function. Feel for warmth around the door frames on hinged
entrance doors and pressure relief port doors, if applicable. Note: Condensation or Ice buildup around
doors
