nursing home residents) when Resident 159 had an:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Emergence of a new unstageable (unable to determine where the injury begins and ends) pressure
injury.
2. Emergence of unplanned weight loss problem.

identifying significant changes .When a significant change of 5 lbs. or more within the last 30 days is
identified, the nurse will: Initiate 'change of status' IDT/MDS .
During an interview on 4/11/24 at 8:13 a.m. with MDS Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1), MDSC 1 stated she was
unsure if a significant weight loss would trigger a significant change assessment.
During an interview on 4/11/24 at 8:27 a.m. with Supervising Registered Nurse 5 (SRN 5), SRN 5 stated, I
do not recall if we have an IDT for significant weight loss . We have a weight team who notifies doctors,
supervisors and the dietician. The QA (Quality Assurance) team assigns an RN (Registered Nurse) to go to
each ward and weighs the residents. This is the weight team.
During an interview on 4/11/24 at 8:45 a.m. with MDSC 2, MDSC 2 stated, The IDT would let us know if
there was a significant weight loss . If due for an assessment we compare from the previous assessment.
Resident 159 is due for his April quarterly assessment . It will be a significant change assessment rather
than a quarterly. It (the need for an MDS) should have been communicated in an IDT meeting. That is how
we know about changes. It got missed.

Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During an interview on 4/8/24 at 3:41 p.m. with Resident 80, Resident 80 stated, There is much to be
desired with the 'facility' activities program. When I first came here, there were a lot of activities to choose
from, outdoor experiences . Now I just get in my chair and go. We would go out to dinner and visit culinary
schools .There is a fire house just down the street, I'd like to go there . I haven't seen that kind of outing in
the last 3 years . I have requested these many times.
During an interview on 4/9/24 at 10:41 a.m. with Recreational Therapist 1 (RT 1), RT 1 acknowledged
Resident 80's preferences for community outings and stated he does not participate in outings within the
community (outside of the facility).

so many outings . We have two types of transportation; the state shuttle, and a private company with hired
transportation . The problem is with the hired transportation is that Resident 80's wheelchair is too big, it
won't fit on the lift. The private company has informed the facility it cannot facilitate transporting Resident
80, due to the size of his chair. RT 1 stated, The state shuttle has issues as well. They are short staffed with
drivers. They are only being used for medical appointments right now. This has been going on for at least a
year . We would go to the movies when we had the state van available. We'll have to wait until we hire more
drivers . Community outings are big for Resident 80, that and food.
During a review of Resident 80's Care Plan, dated of 3/13/24, the care plan indicated in Problem #11
Activity independence, Resident 80 is encouraged to make own choices. It indicated Resident 80 enjoyed
going to the movies independently and out to eat, doing things with groups of people, spending time

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in
accordance with professional standards for food service safety when:
1. Live roaches were found in a sticky trap on the floor under the stainless-steel counter in the nourishment
area, behind the ice machine, in the room with the 3-compartment sink, and in the dish washing room of
the staging kitchen of the [NAME] Building. Pests are capable of transmitting disease to humans by
contaminating food and food-contact surfaces.
2. Floor under the counter tops had food crumbs and trash in the nourishment area, behind the ice
machines, under the tray line assembly (where staff serve the food on plates for the residents), and in the
house keeping closet in the staging kitchen in the [NAME] Building. In the main kitchen there was food
crumbs and build up on the floors in the food production area, behind the tumble chill machine (large
batches of food can be rapidly chilled), behind the steamer and under the grill in the MDR (Main Dining
Room) kitchen area and under the reach in refrigerator that was reserved for vegan (no animal products or
dairy) and vegetarian (no animal products) foods. Build-up of food crumbs on the floor under equipment can
allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow and attract pests.
3. Multiple floor drains had a build-up of black grime, food particles and trash in the staging kitchen of the
[NAME] Building and in the main kitchen. Build-up in the floor drains can allow pathogenic microorganisms
to grow and attract pests.
4. The ice machine in the nourishment area of the [NAME] staging kitchen, had a build-up of black
substance in the ice bin.
5. [NAME] Specialist II (CSII) did not follow the process for cool down when he did not log the time and
temperature of rice, spaghetti, and mashed potato when he put it in the blast chiller. In addition, the cooling
temperature log was incorrectly filled out by multiple employees when they did not fill in the final
temperature and/or they used the exact same time and temperature for multiple food items. Proper cool
down is critical to prevent microbial growth. Excessive time for cooling of time/temperature control for safety
foods (TCS) (food that requires time and temperature controls to limit the growth of illness causing bacteria)
has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. Documenting
time and temperature on a log ensures that TCS foods are monitored and cooled safely.
6. Two nursing staff ([Certified Nursing Assistant] CNA 1 and CNA 2) were observed touching RTE (ready
to eat) food with their bare hands when assisting residents with their lunch on Monday, 4/8/24. Depending
on the microbial contamination level on the hands, handwashing with plain soap and water, as specified in
the Food Code, may not be an adequate intervention to prevent the transmission of pathogenic microbes to
ready-to-eat foods via hand contact with ready-to-eat foods.
This had the potential to contaminate food and cause food-borne illness for 197 medically compromised
residents who received food from the kitchen.

5. During an observation and concurrent interview with the [NAME] Specialist II (CSII) and document
review of the blast chiller (piece of equipment that quickly lowers the temperature of food) Cooling
Temperature Log on 4/9/24 at 11:27 a.m., there were two pans of spaghetti, mashed potato, and rice in the
blast chiller with no label or date when it was put into the fridge. The food items were also not on the blast
chiller Cooling Temperature Log. CSII indicated that he memorized the time and temperature of each food
item he prepared and planned on writing it down later. He stated that he gets busy and does not have time
to fill in the cooling temperature log. He stated that he made a mistake and should have written down the
time and temperature on the cooling log when he did it.
During an interview with the Supervising [NAME] 1 (SC1) and concurrent record review of the Cooling
Temperature log, for the date of 4/9/24 at 9:17 a.m., on 4/11/24, the cooling temperature log had the same
exact time and temperature for scrambled egg, scrambled egg puree (blended until smooth), spinach, dill
sauce, vegetable chicken nuggets and soy glaze. Final temperatures were missing for roast potatoes, roast
veggies, sloppy joe, scrambled egg, scrambled egg puree and spinach. Also, the column titled Verified
by/date was not filled out for any of the food items on the log. The SCI stated logs should be filled out
correctly and should always be verified by a supervisor and initialed on the log under the column titled
Verified by/date.
During a review of the facility policy titled, Food Preparation Guidelines, dated 11/5/23, the policy indicated,
2. Cool down temperature logs will be: a. used to record hourly temperatures of potentially hazardous food
items being cooled. B. initialed by the supervisor on duty and kept on file for a period of 1 year.
During a review of the FDA Federal Food Code, dated 2022, 3-501.14 indicated, (A) Cooked
time/temperature control for safety food (food that requires time and temperature controls to limit the growth
of illness causing bacteria) shall be cooled: (1) Within 2 hours from 57ºC (135ºF) to
21ºC (70°F); P and (2) Within a total of 6 hours from 57ºC (135ºF) to 5ºC
(41°F) or less. In addition, Safe cooling requires removing heat from food quickly enough to prevent
microbial growth. Excessive time for cooling of time/temperature control for safety foods has been
consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. During slow cooling,
time/temperature control for safety foods are subject to the growth of a variety of pathogenic
microorganisms. A longer time near ideal bacterial incubation temperatures, 21oC - 52oC (70oF - 125oF),
is to be avoided. If the food is not cooled in accordance with this Code requirement, pathogens may grow to
sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness.
6. During an observation on 4/8/24 at 11:57 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) grabbed a regular
cup and a coffee mug by the rim of the cups and took them over to Resident 42 and set them on his bed
side table next to his meal tray. He poured his milk into the cup and some coffee into the mug for the
resident. CNA 1 grabbed a pieced of sliced cheese that was in a plastic bag and removed it with her bare
hands and folded the piece of cheese and put it into Resident 42's soup. CNA 1 grabbed half of a sandwich
and handed it to the resident.
During an observation on 4/8/24 at 12:08 p.m., CNA was assisting Resident 193 and was peeling an
orange with her bare hands, then she separated the sections of the orange for the resident.

During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/11/24 at 11:30 a.m., the DON stated they do
not currently have a policy that indicated nursing staff should not touch ready to eat foods with their bare
hands, however he stated that they needed to develop one.
During a review of the FDA Federal Food Code, dated 2022, 3-301.11 indicated, food employees may not
contact exposed, ready-to-eat food with their bare hands and shall use suitable utensils such as deli tissue,
spatulas, tongs, single-use gloves, or dispensing equipment. In addition, In November 1999, the National
Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) concluded that bare hand contact
with ready-to-eat foods can contribute to the transmission of foodborne illness and agreed that the
transmission could be interrupted. The NACMCF recommended exclusion/restriction of ill food workers as
the first preventative strategy and recognized that this intervention has limitations, such as trying to identify
and manage asymptomatic food workers. The three interdependent critical factors in reducing foodborne
illness transmitted through the fecal-oral route, identified by the NACMCF, include exclusion/restriction of ill
food workers; proper handwashing; and no bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods. Each of these factors
is inadequate when utilized independently and may not be effective. However, when all three factors are
combined and utilized properly, the transmission of fecal-oral pathogens can be controlled. Depending on
the microbial contamination level on the hands, handwashing with plain soap and water, as specified in the
Food Code, may not be an adequate intervention to prevent the transmission of pathogenic microbes to
ready-to-eat foods via hand contact with ready-to-eat foods.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain Transmission Based
Precautions (infection control precautions) for one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 156) and one
unsampled resident (Resident 130) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. An Xray Technician (XT) did not wear the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, equipment worn
to minimize exposure to hazards) while providing care for Resident 156, who was on droplet isolation
precautions (measures used to protect residents, staff, and visitors from exposure with infectious agents).
2. Resident 130 was exposed to contaminated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, equipment worn to
minimize exposure to hazards), when placement of a PPE disposal bin obstructed the path to his bed.
These failures had the potential to result in cross-contamination and the spread of infectious diseases to
residents, staff and visitors.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 4/9/24 at 11:25 a.m., in [NAME] 3 of Resident 156's room, XT was observed
performing a procedure while wearing only a surgical mask and no other articles of PPE. XT was then
observed completing the procedure and came in direct contact with Resident 156 before exiting the room. A
sign was posted in Resident 156's room door that indicated, Enhanced Droplet Precautions (EDP, used to
help keep individuals from disease that spread through the air); To prevent the spread of infections, anyone
entering this room must wear: N95 Mask, Face Shield, Gown, Gloves. All PPE must be worn regardless of
expected activity in the resident's room.
During an interview on 4/9/24 at 11:31 a.m. with XT, XT stated, I didn't know I had to wear any PPE. XT
further stated that no one let her know about Resident 156's isolation precautions.
During an interview on 4/10/24 at 10:44 a.m. with the Infection Control Preventionist (ICP), ICP stated, Xray
Tech was a contractor but, they should have been wearing the PPE.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Enhanced Droplet Precautions (EDP)
dated 5/12/23, the P&P indicated, Staff follow Don/Doff (put on and take off) procedures established by the
CDC (Centers for Disease Control) PPE Sequence Guidance 29.6, 32.2
During a review of the CDC- PPE Sequence Guidance 29.6, 32.2, [undated], the CDC guidance indicated,
Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all
PPE.
2. During an observation on 4/8/24 at 12:38 p.m., in [NAME] 3 of Resident 130's room, Resident 130
entered his room and attempted to go to the left side of his bed. Resident 130 was observed to be in a
wheelchair and did not have enough room to get to his bedside. Resident 130 attempted to pass, but the
placement of a disposal bin, used to throw away contaminated PPE obstructed his path causing Resident
130 to repeatedly bump into the bin with his wheelchair. The PPE disposal bin was located by the door
against the wall of Resident 130's room, next to Resident 130's bed. Resident 130 asked Certified Nurse
Assistant 1 (CNA 1) to remove the bin, but CNA 1 stated to Resident 130, they could not because it was for
the disposal of used PPE. Resident 130 was seen opening and reaching into the

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 an effective pest control program
when a roach infestation in the [NAME] staging kitchen persisted since 6/8/23, unsanitary conditions were
observed that provide harborage conditions for pests (cross-reference F 812) and pests were being allowed
entry into the kitchen. This had the potential for pests to transmit disease to residents by contaminating food
and food-contact surfaces for 197 medically compromised residents who received food from the kitchen.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings:
During observations on 4/8/24 between 10:12 a.m. and 10:28 a.m., there were multiple sticky traps in the
[NAME] staging kitchen that contained roaches. One of the sticky traps had three (3) live roaches.
During multiple observations on 4/8/24 between 10:12 a.m. and 10:43 a.m., in the [NAME] staging kitchen,
the floor under equipment had a build-up of food crumbs, trash and spilled liquid.
During multiple observations on 4/8/24 between 10:12 a.m. and 10:38 a.m., in the [NAME] staging kitchen,
there were multiple drains that had a build-up of black grime and food.
During an interview on 4/9/24 at 3:14 pm, with the Pest Technician (PT) from [company name] pest control
services, PT stated the roaches that he was finding were German Cockroaches. PT stated he usually found
them around the dishwasher. He stated there was a door in the staging kitchen that leads to the dumpsters,
and he always saw it propped open, and he believed that is how the cockroaches were entering the kitchen.
During an observation on 4/10/24 at 8:27 a.m. in the [NAME] staging kitchen, the back door in the dish
room that lead to the loading dock and dumpsters was propped open.
During a review of the facility document titled, [company name] Work order, dated 6/8/24, the document
indicated, we are starting to see cockroaches again in our dish room area, hallway outside of the dish room
area and inside the machine too. Within the last few days, the amount has raised, that are being seen in the
morning time when I arrive.
During a review of the facility policy titled Food and Nutrition Services- Sanitation, dated 11/5/23, indicated
1. Kitchen and serving area(s): B. will be protected from rodents, roaches, flies, and other insects.
During a review of the FDA Federal Food Code, dated 2022, 6-501.111 indicated, The PREMISES shall be
maintained free of insects, rodents, and other pests. The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall
be controlled to eliminate their presence on the PREMISES by: (A) Routinely inspecting incoming
