Record review of Resident #28's admission Record, dated 07/30/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of rectum (rectal cancer), glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve of the eye), and obstructive and reflux uropathy (urine can't flow through your ureter, bladder, or urethra due to some obstruction). Record review of Resident #28's admission MDS assessment, dated 6/25/25, revealed the resident had fully intact cognition for daily decision making.

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen, in that: The cooler had a package of sliced lunch meat with a lot of juice in the package that was sliced opened and not closed. The freezer had a bag of frozen sugar cookie dough that was left open. These failures could place residents that received meals and or snacks from the kitchen at risk for food borne illness. The findings included: Observation and interview on 7/28/2025 at 10:21AM revealed a bag of sliced lunchmeat in the cooler that was in its original package with a substantial amount of liquid from the meat, was sliced open and was placed in a food grade plastic bag with a knot that was torn open. The bag nor the package was sealed which left the sliced lunchmeat opened. A bag of sugar cookie dough was in the freezer open and not sealed.The DM said, Oh, I'll fix that right away.Observation on 7/28/2025 at 3:30PM revealed the bag of cookie dough remained in the freezer with the bag tied closed. Interview on 7/28/2025 at 3:30PM the surveyor asked the DM about the cookie dough, she said, It was used last week on Thursday, and I thought it was okay to keep it. The surveyor asked if it was safe to keep the bag of cookie dough and she said, No, because it could have freezer burn. The DM removed the bag of cookie dough and discarded it in the garbage. Interview on 7/30/2025 at 11:28AM the RD said it was important to store food properly to prevent cross contamination of food and to prevent food borne illness to the residents. She said food stored in the freezer should be closed as well to keep the taste and so it would not have the taste of freezer burn. Record review of facility policy titled, Food Receiving and Storage dated Revised November 2022 stated' Food shall be received and stored in a manner that complies with safe food handling practices Under the section titled, Refrigerated/Frozen Food Storage stated, 1.
