Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure kitchen staff had the appropriate competencies to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service when: 1. [NAME] 2 was not competent in the use of the dish machine and testing the dish machine sanitizer strength. 2. [NAME] 1 was not competent preparing pureed food. 3. [NAME] 1 and the Dietary Supervisor (DS) were not competent in the use of the three-compartment sink (piece of equipment used in professional kitchens for manual dishwashing and consists of three compartments: the first for washing, the second for rinsing, the third for sanitizing). These failures had the potential to result in contamination of resident food and utensils used by residents leading to illness for 55 who received food from the kitchen; This failure also had the potential for residents receiving a pureed diet to consume less food due to decreased palatability and appearance resulting food related medical complications for 8 residents on a physician prescribed pureed diet out of a census of 56. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/21/25 at 3:13 p.m. with [NAME] 2 and the Dietary Supervisor Mentor (DSM) in the kitchen, [NAME] 2, stated he was an ex-kitchen employee and currently worked in housekeeping but was helping out in the kitchen. As [NAME] 2 washed kitchen utensils in the dish machine, the temperature gauge for the dish machine was noted to be 110 degrees Fahrenheit (F-unit of measurement) for the wash cycle and the sanitizing cycle. [NAME] 2 stated the dish machine was a low-temperature dish machine (dish machine that uses chemical sanitizers instead of high heat to sanitize dishes). [NAME] 2 was asked to demonstrate checking the sanitizer strength in the dish machine. [NAME] 2 reached for Quaternary ammonium (Quat) test strips (used to measure the concentration of quaternary ammonium compounds in sanitizing solutions) to test water in the dish machine after the sanitizer cycle completed. [NAME] 2 was about to test the sanitizer in the dish machine with the Quat test strip, when the DSM stated the Quaternary ammonium test strips should not be used to test the sanitizer in the dish machine since chlorine was used as the sanitizer. The DSM handed [NAME] 2 chlorine test strips (used to measure the concentration of chlorine in a solution by using a chemical reaction that causes a color change on the strip). [NAME] 2 dipped the chlorine test strip in the solution inside the dish machine after the sanitizer cycle completed.

[NAME] 1 stated all residents received the same cauliflower, and there was no difference between the cauliflower served to a resident on a Regular diet and a fortified diet. During an interview on 7/21/25 at 12:50 p.m. with the Registered Dietitian (RD), the RD stated residents who had a fortified diet received extra calories by adding extra butter, dressing, or gravy to the food. The RD stated for lunch that day (7/21/25) fortified diets should have received extra gravy on the meat and butter on the vegetables. The RD stated the extra butter, and gravy had to be added on during tray line, not by adding extra butter during the cooking process, in order to ensure the correct portion of butter. During an interview on 7/22/25 at 2:19 p.m. with the RD, the RD stated staff had a menu to follow for fortified portions.

F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure essential kitchen equipment was in safe operating condition when: 1. The three-compartment sink (piece of equipment used in professional kitchens for manual dishwashing and consists of three compartments: the first for washing, the second for rinsing, the third for sanitizing) was used for food preparation, did not drain, causing water and debris to back up into the sink. 2. The three-compartment sink was used as a food preparation sink and did not have an air gap (a space between the drain spout and the in-floor drain inlet that prevents contaminated water from flowing back into a clean water supply). 3. The facility did not have drain plugs in order to plug the sinks of the three-compartment sink, so the sink could be used in the way it was intended for ware washing. These failures had the potential to contaminate food sources for 55 residents who received food from the kitchen, causing foodborne illness in a vulnerable population and resulting in severe patient harm or death; this failure also had had the potential for inability to safely clean items such as food preparation equipment and food service utensils in the case the dish machine was not available for use for 55 residents who received food from the kitchen out of a census of 56. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/21/25 at 3:01 p.m. with [NAME] 1 and the Dietary Supervisor (DS) in the kitchen, the three-compartment sink was observed.
