Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 06/25/24 at 08:59 AM, LVN 1 said the substance in the clear plastic container was pudding that the medication aide uses to give Resident's medications. LVN1 said he was embarrassed because the refrigerator should not look like this, and he did not know who was responsible for cleaning it. When asked why refrigerated foods should be labeled with dates and names, LVN 1 replied that was to prevent cross-contamination or spoilage, and someone could get sick if they eat it. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 6/26/24 at 1:20pm the ADON stated the charge nurses are responsible for checking the unit refrigerator for labels and dates on the resident's food. The ADON further stated staff was not supposed to put personal items in that refrigerator and the staff had a refrigerator in the break room for their personal use. The ADON stated after the food was discovered without labels and dates, an in-service was done with the staff. During an interview on 6/27/24 at 1:25pm the Administrator stated whoever takes the food from the Resident was responsible for placing the name of resident and the date on the item. It was a shared responsibility between medication aides and nurses. They are the only ones with access to the room. They are also responsible for discarding out of date items. Record review of the facility's policy titled Resident Personal Food Policy dated 9/11/23 Procedure Section C (d) indicated that Foods requiring refrigeration will be received by the facility designee (activity department, food and nutrition department, charge nurse, etc.) to ensure proper and immediate storage including labeling and dating. 675274 Page 2 of 2
