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] 2 compared the chlorine test strip to the color
chart on the chlorine test strip vial. The strip did not change color. When the test strip was compared to the
color chart located on the chlorine test strip container, the strip indicated a low concentration of less than
10 parts per million. (PPM - a way to express very dilute concentrations of substances, indicating how many
parts of a substance are present in a million parts of the solution or mixture) [NAME] 2 stated the sanitizer
strength was acceptable. DSM confirmed the test strip indicated there was no sanitizer in the dish machine.
According to the test strip color chart, when the sanitizer is 50 PPM, the chlorine test strip will turn a light
purple color. [NAME] 2 stated he did not know if there was a log to record temperatures or sanitizer
strength for the dish machine. The dish machine manufacturer label, attached to the dish machine was
observed. The manufacturer label indicated, .Minimum wash temperature: 120 F . Minimum chlorine: 50
PPM .During an interview on 7/21/25 at 3:25 p.m. with the DS, the DS stated the sanitizer strength should
be checked before use, three times a day, when items were washed from the breakfast, lunch and dinner
meals. The?DS also stated the temperature of the dish machine should be at 120 degrees F before use.
The DS stated the dish machine needed to be run a few cycles before use to ensure the temperature
reached 120 degrees F. DS also stated the dish machine log should be filled out for lunch before the dish
machine was used at the lunch meal. During a review of the facility's document titled Dish machine
Temperature Log (Low Temperature) dated July 2025, indicated boxes where

concurrent observation and interview on 7/24/25 at 10:59 a.m. with [NAME] 1 in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 was
observed pureeing chicken for residents who received a pureed diet. [NAME] 1 added a brown colored
liquid to the pureed cooked chicken in a blender and blended the ingredients. [NAME] 1 stated the brown
colored liquid was chicken broth. [NAME] 1 blended the broth and the chicken. The consistency appeared to
be runny. [NAME] 1 stated she added a total of three-and-a-half cups of chicken broth to the chicken
because that was what the recipe stated to add. [NAME] 1 stated she would add more chicken broth if
needed but did not think more chicken broth would need to be added. [NAME] 1 stated the pureed chicken
should have a pudding-like consistency. [NAME] 1 stated she would check the consistency of the pureed
chicken by doing a spoon test (a method to assess the consistency of a food item, particularly when it's
being cooked or thickened, involving the use of a spoon to scoop up a sample and observing how it
behaves, such as how it drips off the spoon, or whether it holds its shape). [NAME] 1 stated the pureed
chicken should hold shape and not drip over the spoon. [NAME] 1 stated the consistency of the pureed
chicken she just made was runnier. [NAME] 1 added one teaspoon (tsp) of thickener (a substance added to
a liquid to increase its density, making it thicker), blended the pureed chicken, and added another tsp of
thickener. Then added another tsp of thickener and blended. As [NAME] 1 prepared the pureed chicken,
she referred to the recipe for Pureed Fried Chicken and stated she was following the recipe. During a
review of Pureed Fried Chicken recipe, dated 2025, the recipe indicated, .To prepare 3 1/2 cups of chicken
broth and to gradually add the broth as needed to prepared chicken and blend until smooth.Any liquid
specified in the recipe is a suggested amount of liquid (if needed) . If product needs thinning, gradually add
an appropriate amount of liquid to achieve a smooth, pudding or soft mashed potato consistency. During an
interview on 7/24/25 at 11:05 a.m., with RD, the RD stated, according to the pureed fried chicken recipe,
[NAME] 1 should not have added the entire three-and-a-half cups of chicken broth in order to get the
desired consistency. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 11:51 a.m. with the RD, the RD stated small
amounts of liquid should be added to achieve the desired consistency when pureeing food. The RD stated
pureed foods should be a formed consistency, like mashed potatoes. RD stated she just did an in-service

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure fortified (foods that have
essential nutrients added to them, typically to improve their nutritional value or address nutrient
deficiencies) diets were prepared according to facility fortified menu for 6 of 6 residents (Resident 2, 3, 18,
24, 26, and 56). This failure had the potential to result in weight loss and/or further complicate medical
status for Resident 2, 3, 18, 24, 26, and 56 who received a prescribed fortified diet out of a of 56 residents.
Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/21/25 at 12:08 p.m. with [NAME] 1 in the
kitchen, the tray line food service (a food service model where trays are assembled in a linear fashion on a
conveyor or table) was observed. [NAME] 1 plated food on resident plates, including a scoop of cooked
cauliflower. [NAME] 1 reviewed Resident 1's meal ticket (a printed card or document that specifies a
resident's diet order.?It includes details such as the resident's name, room number, diet type, allergies, and
specific food and beverage requests). [NAME] 1 stated Resident 1's meal ticket called for a fortified diet.
[NAME] 1 stated residents on a fortified diet received extra calories on their food. [NAME] 1 stated today
extra butter was provided on the cauliflower for extra calories. When [NAME] 1 plated the meals for
residents on a fortified diet (Resident 2, 3, 18, 24, 26, and 56) extra butter was not placed on the
vegetables. [NAME] 1 explained when she prepared the cauliflower, she used more butter than what the
recipe called for and she did not place an extra scoop of butter on the cauliflower when it placed on the
plate. [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. During a concurrent interview
and record review on 7/22/25 at 4:37 p.m. with the RD, the undated menu titled Fortified Diet Week 4 was
reviewed. This menu indicated, Monday: Lunch: Ham: 1 oz (ounce) gravy. Vegetable: 1/2 oz melted
margarine. The RD stated residents who had fortified diets were to receive 1 oz of extra gravy on the meat
and 1/2 oz of extra butter on the vegetables for lunch on 7/21/25. The RD also provided the Weekly
Guideline for Summer 2024 - Week 4, which showed the fortified diet provided an additional 300-400
calories and three (3) to four (4) grams of protein per day; and an undated document titled Fortified Diet
which showed the fortified diet is designed for residents who cannot consume adequate amounts of
calories and/or protein to maintain their weight or nutritional status. The RD stated the goal was to increase
the calorie density of foods commonly consumed by the residents. During a review of Resident 56's Order

or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure foods were prepared by
methods that conserve flavor, appearance, and at an appetizing temperature when: 1. The temperature of
the ham, cauliflower, and sweet potato wedges served for the lunch meal was below 120 degrees
Fahrenheit (F-unit of measurement) and barely felt warm in the mouth when sampled. 2. The pureed ham,
cauliflower, and sweet potato wedges served for the lunch meal were a thin, runny consistency. 3. The
pureed sweet potato wedges were bland. These failures had the potential to result in weight loss and/or
further complicate medical status of residents for 55 residents who received food from the kitchen out of a
census of 56. Findings:1.During a review of the facility's Diet Spreadsheet dated 2025, indicated, the lunch
meals served on 7/21/25 included but was not limited to the following: Regular diet (a balanced,
unrestricted meal plan that includes a variety of foods from all major food groups, suitable for individuals
without specific dietary needs or restrictions): Honey Glazed Ham, Sweet Potato Wedges, Cauliflower;
Pureed diet (a modified texture diet where food items are blended into a smooth, pudding-like consistency,
eliminating any lumps): Pureed Honey Glazed Ham, Pureed Sweet Potato Wedges, Pureed Cauliflower.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/21/25 at 12:46 p.m. with the Dietary Supervisor (DS)
and the Registered Dietitian (RD), a regular diet and a pureed diet test tray (a method of evaluating the
quality and safety of food served to residents) for lunch meal was observed. The temperature of the items
on the regular diet test tray were measured with a calibrated thermometer and were as follows: ham: 109.3
degrees Fahrenheit (F); cauliflower: 108.4 degrees F; sweet potato wedges: 104.8 degrees F. The
temperature of the items on the pureed test tray were ham: 100.6 degrees F; cauliflower: 101 degrees F;
sweet potato wedges: 104 degrees F. The RD stated the temperature of the food when served to the
residents should be at least 110 degrees F. The RD stated she did not conduct test trays and did not
assess the food trays as they were delivered to residents. The RD stated she did not know the temperature
of the food as it was delivered to residents. During a review of the Registered Dietician job description,
dated 10/27/15, indicated, Evaluates . preparation of food service procedures . During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, In-Room Dining, dated 2020, indicated, Meals served . may be
periodically checked at the point of service for palatable food temperatures. Food temperatures of hot food
on . trays at the point of service are preferred to be at 120 F or greater to promote palatability for the
resident. 2. During an observation on 7/21/25 at 12:46 p.m. with the DS and the RD, a pureed diet test tray
was observed. The pureed ham, cauliflower, and sweet potato wedges had a thin, runny consistency, and
was spread out flat on the plate. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 11:51 a.m. with the RD, the RD stated
the pureed food from the test tray was too thin. The RD stated the food should have been a mashed potato
consistency. The RD stated if food was pureed too thin, residents could choke if they could not tolerate
thinner liquids. The RD also stated if the pureed food was thin, it may not have an appealing feel/texture in
the mouth and residents could be sensitive to mouth textures. The RD stated the liquid/thin appearance of
the pureed food was not appealing and may cause residents to eat less. During a review of the facility's
document Long Term Care Diet Manual dated 2022, indicated the pureed diet was for individuals who were
not able to chew foods and/or have difficulty swallowing. The appropriate consistency included consistency
such as puddings and smooth mashed potato. 3. During an observation on 7/21/25 at 12:46 p.m. with the
RD, a Regular and Pureed diet test tray was observed. When the regular sweet potatoes were tasted, they
were flavorful, but when the pureed sweet potatoes were tasted, the flavor was bland (with little flavor). The
RD stated the pureed sweet potatoes tasted bland. During a concurrent interview and record review on

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' preferences were honored
for one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 20) when, Resident 20's meal card (printed ticket or document
associated with each resident that details their specific dietary needs, preferences, allergies, adaptive
equipment requirements, and even dislikes, ensuring personalized meal delivery and safety) did not have
anything listed on his dislikes and the meal card was not updated to include his dislikes for fishes.This
failure resulted in Resident 20 feeling unheard when served disliked food and had the potential for weight
loss from not eating.Findings:During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/21/25 at 12:20 p.m., in
the dining room, Resident 20 ‘s meal card did not have anything listed on his dislikes. Resident 20 stated he
did not like fish and was served fish in the facility. Resident 20 stated he had been in the facility for one year
and his meal card was not updated to reflect his dislikes. Resident 20 stated staff did not listen to him.
During an interview on 7/23/2025 at 4:18 p.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated she and the
Registered Dietician (RD) were responsible for updating the resident's food preferences. The DS stated

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored, prepared,
and served in a safe and sanitary environment when: 1. The dish machine was used without reaching 120
Fahrenheit (F-Unit of measurement) and without sanitizer. 2. The ice machine was not clean and was not
cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3. 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 and was not clean. 4.
Kitchen floors, ceiling panels, walls, doors, and screens were not maintained in good condition. 5. The area
underneath the three-compartment sink was not clean. 6. A can-opener and serving trays were not clean. 7.
Pastrami deli meat and canned mushrooms were not discarded by the used by date (indicating the last day
the product is recommended for use). These failures had the potential to contaminate resident food sources
that can cause foodborne illness in a vulnerable population, resulting in severe patient harm, and even
death. 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 was washing kitchen utensils in the dish
machine. The temperature gauge for the dish machine was noted to be 110 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for the
wash cycle and the sanitizing cycle, while the dish machine was operating. [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 stated the dish machine was used to clean utensils and other kitchen
equipment. [NAME] 2 tested the sanitizer strength in the dish machine by dipping a chlorine test strip (used
to measure the concentration of chlorine in a solution by using a chemical reaction that causes a color
change on the strip) in the dish machine water after the cycle was completed. The chlorine test strip did not
change color. The DSM, who was a mentor for the Dietary Supervisor (DS), dipped a new chlorine test strip
in the water. The chlorine test strip did not change color. The DSM stated the tubing for the sanitizer that
supplied the dish machine with sanitizer was pinched and confirmed the sanitizer was not reaching the dish
machine while [NAME] 2 was using the machine to clean kitchen utensils. [NAME] 2 confirmed he did not
check the sanitizer strength before he started using the dish machine. During an observation on 7/22/25 at
11:29 a.m. in the kitchen, the dish machine manufacturer label, attached to the dish machine, was
observed. The manufacturer label indicated, Minimum wash temperature: 120 F . Minimum chlorine: 50
PPM (parts per million - measurement used to express very small concentrations of a substance within a
larger mixture or solution). During an interview on 7/22/25 at 3:25 p.m. with the DS, the DS stated the
sanitizer strength should be checked before use, three times a day, when items were washed from the
breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. The DS also stated the temperature of the dish machine should be at
120 degrees F before use. The DS stated the dish machine needed to be run a few cycles before use to
ensure the temperature reached 120 degrees F. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Dishwashing:
Machine Operation, dated 2020, indicated, .All dishwashing machines should be operated according to
manufacturer recommendations . If the dishwashing machine has not been used for several hours, it is
generally recommended to allow the dishwashing machine to cycle for one or two cycles to allow
dishwashing machine to come up to proper function . If the machine is found to be out of the acceptable
range for wither final rinse temperature or proper chemical sanitizing concentration, do not proceed to wash
dishes . 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/22/25 at 11:40 a.m. with the Maintenance
Supervisor (MS) in the kitchen, the MS opened the ice machine to observe the interior components. The ice

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to implement adequate measures and a
comprehensive water management plan to minimize the risk of Legionella (a harmful bacterium that lives in
water systems and areas that are continuously wet) and other pathogens in the building's water
system.This failure had the potential to expose 57 of 57 residents to Legionnaires' disease (a disease
caused by legionella which affects the lungs) or other opportunistic infections. Findings:During a concurrent
interview and record review on 7/23/25 at 2:21 p.m., with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) the Facilities,
Water Management plan, undated, was reviewed. The Water Management plan's sections titled,
Description of the Building Water System, Identification of Potential Growth Areas, and Control Measures
and Monitoring, were all empty and incomplete. The MS stated no legionella testing was done in 2024, and
the facility currently did not have its Water Management plan complete. The MS stated it was important to
have a complete water management plan because proper measures and plans for legionella helped
prevent residents from receiving harm if they were to be infected by the bacteria.During an interview on
7/23/25 at 4:08 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP-healthcare professionals specializing in the
surveillance, control, and prevention of infections), the IP stated the facility needed to have a complete
legionella and water management plan in place. The IP stated Legionella was contagious and had the
potential to infect everyone in the facility.During an interview on 7/24/25 at 2:44 p.m., with the Administrator
in Training (AIT), the AIT stated the facility should have been aware the water management plan was
incomplete. The AIT stated proper water management documentation should have been included in the

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. [NAME] 1 stated the three-compartment sink was used to wash
kitchen utensils and other kitchen equipment if the dish machine was not working. The DS stated the
instructions for use of the 3-compartment sink were posted above the sink and should be followed. Review
of the [Name Brand] Pot and Pan Wash Procedure dated 2011 posted on the wall above the
three-compartment sink, showed procedures for use of the sink included: to fill the first sink (the wash sink)
with water and solution, fill the second sink (the rinse sink) with hot water, and fill the third sink (sanitizer
sink) with sanitizer solution. During an interview on 7/23/25 at 8:46 a.m. with [NAME] 1, [NAME] 1 stated in
addition to having the sink available for washing dishes in an emergency, the three-compartment sink was
used to wash produce. During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/24/25 at 3:30 p.m. with the
Maintenance Supervisor (MS) in the kitchen, the first and third compartment of the three-compartment sink
was filled with water. The second sink of the three-compartment sink was empty. The MS removed the drain
plug from the first compartment and the water was slow to drain. The MS stated something was going on
with the drains and the drains were bad. The MS removed the drain plug from the third compartment and
water and black, and brown debris backed up into the second compartment. The MS stated the drain could
not handle draining two compartments at the same time. The MS replaced the drain plug in the first
compartment and left the third compartment unplugged to drain. The drain plug in the first compartment
pooed out and water and debris backed up into the second and third compartment. According to the 2022
Federal Food Code, equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair, and a plumbing system shall be
maintained in good repair. In addition, A plumbing system shall be installed to preclude backflow of . liquid .
into the water supply system at each point of use . Improper plumbing installation or maintenance may
result in potential health hazards such as . back siphonage or backflow. These conditions may result in the
contamination of food, utensils, equipment, or other food contact surfaces. 2. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 7/21/25 at 10:12 a.m. with the MS in the kitchen, the space under the
three-compartment sink was observed. The drain leading from the three-compartment sink was plumbed
directly into the wall and there was not an air gap in the drain. The MS confirmed there was no air gap
under the three-compartment sink.?? During an interview on 7/23/25 at 8:46 a.m. with [NAME] 1, [NAME] 1
stated the three-compartment sink was used to wash produce as there was not a sink available for only
food preparation. ? During a review of the Federal Food Code, dated 2022,

originating form equipment in which food, portable equipment, or utensils are placed. ?? During a review of
the facility's P&P titled, Accident Prevention - Safety Precautions, dated 2023, indicated, .Backflow
Prevention/ Air Gaps: If a connection exists between the system and a source of contaminated water during
times of negative pressure, contaminated water may be drawn into and foul the entire system. An air gap is
the most reliable backflow prevention device. It is the physical separation of the potable (drinking water) and
non-potable (non-drinking water) water supply systems by an air space. All . food preparation sinks . shall
be drained through and air gap into an open floor sink.? 3. During an interview on 07/24/2025 11:05 a.m.,
with DS, DS was asked to fill the sink compartments of the three-compartment sink with water to
demonstrate the use of the sinks. DS stated the facility did not have drain plugs to plug the sinks so they
could be filled. During a review of the facility procedure titled Dishwashing: Machine Operation dated 2020,
indicated, if the dish machine was not functioning and cannot be repaired in a timely manner, the facility will
use the manual dishwashing procedure. During a review of the facility procedure titled Dishwashing: Manual
