Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and
serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed for
kitchen sanitation and food storage.
The facility failed to store frozen vegetables, frozen cookie dough and sausage patties, in a closed box and
sealed bag inside the freezer to prevent food contamination and freezer burn.
The facility failed to keep a 1-gallon bottle of Worcestershire's sauce free of dry drippings and residues on
the bottle.
The facility failed to keep the ice machine and its filters clean and free of dust and lint.
The facility failed to keep the deep fryer free of food particles, grease accumulation, and burnt oil, and the
stove wall next to the fryer was not free of oil splatter and food particles.
These failures could place residents at risk of food borne illnesses.
Findings included:
In an Observation of freezer #2 and Interview on 04/28/25 at 08:10 AM with the Nutrition Supervisor there
was a box of mixed vegetables, oriental blend to the left side of the freezer and a box of chocolate chip
frozen cookie dough to the right of the freezer. Neither box was closed and the bags containing the food
were not sealed or tied with a knot. The Nutrition Supervisor stated that the bag containing the vegetables,
and the cookie dough should not be unsealed and that it was expected for staff to tie close the bag to avoid
the contents being exposed and contaminated, or for them to get freeze burn. She stated the potential
outcome of the vegetables and cookie dough not being properly closed could expose them to cross
contamination and potentially making the residents sick.
In an Observation of refrigerator #3 and Interview on 04/28/25 at 08:16 AM with the Nutrition Supervisor
there was an open box with an open bag containing sausage patties. The Nutrition Supervisor stated the
bag should be sealed and the box should be closed. She said this could result in the patties being
contaminated or getting spoiled and the potential outcome could be the residents getting sick if they
consumed the contaminated patties.
In an Observation and Interview on 04/28/25 at 08:21 AM with the Nutrition Supervisor in the dry storage
room, on the first metal rack to the left of the entrance of the pantry a 1-gallon bottle of Worcestershire's
sauce had dry drippings on the side. The Nutrition Supervisor stated this could attract insects, potentially
contaminating other food in the pantry or kitchen. If insects contaminated ingredients, residents could get
sick from consuming food prepared with those ingredients.
In an Observation and Interview on 04/28/25 at 08:26 AM with the Nutrition Supervisor, the ice machine
had dust and lint on its filters and top. The Nutrition Supervisor stated that the ice machine was expected to
be clean and free of dust and lint. The potential problems were that the ice could get contaminated, making
residents sick if they used it in their drinks, or the machine could malfunction and stop working due to dirty
filters.

In an Observation and Interview on 04/28/25 at 08:30 AM with the Nutrition Supervisor, the deep fryer was
full of oil that looked burnt and black. Grease had built up on the top and sides, and food particles were on
the outside of the fryer. The stove wall to the right of the fryer had oil splatter and food particles on it. The
Nutrition Supervisor stated that the deep fryer and the stove looked dirty with oil and grease and that staff
were expected to clean them after cooking and leaving the appliances dirty was not acceptable because it
could lead to cross-contamination to the resident's food and potentially make them sick.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 10:02 AM with Nutrition Aide C, she said everyone in the kitchen oversaw
cleaning their stations. Nutrition Aide C said she believed that maintenance oversaw cleaning of the ice
machine She stated it was the cook's responsibility to clean the deep fryer and the stove, and she did not
know if only the cook was responsible for cleaning these items. She stated that it was important for the
kitchen utensils and equipment to be clean to avoid the residents getting sick. She also stated that food
inside the fridges needed to be stored in sealed and labeled containers to avoid contamination and
residents getting sick. Nutrition Aide C said that food and vegetables left uncovered and not sealed in the
fridge was not acceptable because there was a risk of contamination that could potentially get the
resident's sick. Nutrition Aide C stated the kitchen equipment was dirty and was not acceptable and could
also get the residents sick by contaminating their food if it came in contact with the appliances' dirty
surface.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 10:15 AM with Nutrition Aide D, she stated that food and vegetables needed
to be inside a bag dated and sealed to avoid microbes getting into the food or odors from the fridge, and
also to prevent spoilage. Nutrition Aide D said the risk of leaving food inside a bag unsealed or tied with just
a knot was that the food could get contaminated or spoiled. She added that a resident could get sick or
intoxicated if they were served food that got contaminated from being left open in the fridge. Regarding the
dirty equipment such as the deep fryer, stove, and ice machine, Nutrition Aide D stated it was the
responsibility of all staff members to ensure it was clean and sanitized because the potential outcome could
be residents getting sick from contaminated food if the equipment was dirty. She stated that each staff
member was in charge of cleaning their station once they were done working on it.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 10:28 AM with the Cook, she stated that vegetables and food such as the
sausage patties needed to be stored in a container with a lid creating a seal. The [NAME] said If the
vegetables were left in an opened bag, there was a risk of freezer burn or cross-contamination, and they
had to be sealed either in a zip lock bag or by tying a knot on the bag after use. Regarding the dry
drippings, The [NAME] stated they could potentially attract insects and potentially get the residents sick.
She stated that the ice machine, the deep fryer, and stove were dirty and could potentially get the residents
sick due to cross-contamination and bacteria.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 11:48 AM with the DON, she stated that the vegetables, cookie dough, and
patties needed to be sealed inside of the fridge for infection prevention and control and there was a
potential for residents to get sick if they got served a meal with contaminated or spoiled food. The DON said
there was an expectation that the equipment in the kitchen be clean. Regarding the kitchen and the dirty ice
machine, fryer, and stove, The DON explained there was a potential outcome of contaminating the food for
the residents getting them sick from cooking and using dirty equipment.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 12:16 PM with the Administrator, he stated the bags in the fridge containing
vegetables needed to be stored inside the bags and the bags needed to be properly sealed

and could make the residents sick. She said that it could also make residents and family members feel as if
the facility did a poor job maintaining the rooms clean and sanitized.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 11:00 AM with the Housekeeping Supervisor, he stated that it was not
acceptable to have trash, debris, or food residues on the floors or carpets of the residents' rooms. He said
there was a risk of attracting insects such as roaches or ants, which could potentially make the residents
and visitors uncomfortable and make them feel like the facility did not pay attention to hygiene. Regarding
the stains on the floor of Resident # 5, the Housekeeping Supervisor stated they could be food residue,
sputum, or another bodily fluid, and the alcohol swab with blood residue posed an infection control hazard
and there was a risk of cross-contamination for the residents.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 11:57 AM with the DON, she stated the expectation was for the residents'
rooms to be cleaned daily and as needed. The DON said there was a potential to attract insects such as
roaches and ants by leaving food crumbs on the floors or carpets. The DON said the stains on the floor of
Resident # 5 looked like food, and there was a potential fall hazard if a resident stepped and slipped on it,
resulting in a fall or accident. The DON stated the alcohol swab with blood residues posed a hazard for
infection control if the resident had a health condition in their blood.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 12:45 PM with LVN A, she explained that the expectation was that
housekeeping cleaned the rooms, floors, and carpets of the residents' rooms on a daily basis or as needed.
LVN A said the floors for Resident # 69 Resident # 5 looked dirty and unclean. LVN A said the potential
outcome could be that residents with dementia could ingest trash or food crumbs found on the floors or
carpet, and there was the potential for them choking or getting sick from eating something found on the
floor. LVN A stated if the stains on the floor of Resident # 5 were mucus or spit, and the alcohol pad with
dried blood was from a resident with a blood infection or disease, it could result in cross-contamination or
infection.
In an interview on 04/30/25 at 01:07 PM with CNA B, she stated that the carpet and floors looked dirty with
trash and crumbs. CNA B said there was a risk of cross contamination and that the food residues could
attract insects and potentially get the residents sick. She stated that it was all staff's responsibility to make
sure the rooms were clean and if a CNA was to find a room in that state, it was expected for them to clean it
or to contact maintenance to assist with cleaning. CNA B said the stains on the floor and the alcohol pad
with blood found on Resident # 5 could result in contamination and making residents sick.
