RN A stated the CNAs should be asking the residents if there was anything they needed or if the food needed to be warmed. She said the residents had not complained to her about the food but did not ask directly about the food. She said the menu posted on the wall in the dining rooms should reflect what the residents were being served. She said she was neither informed of substitutions nor checked the menu to the trays. She said she only checked the trays to the preference cards for texture and likes/dislikes. She said the temperature of the food or not getting what was on the menus could cause weight loss. She said the residents could be adversely affected because they wouldn't eat at all or eat less and could cause a decline in their health, dehydration and/or grow weak. She said no one was responsible, that she was aware of, to ensure the trays were passed out in a timely manner, food was warm, and the residents were receiving the correct foods. In a phone interview with the RD on 09/18/24 at 3:45 PM, she said a vegetable was a vegetable and if the menus did not match the trays, it was because a substitution was needed. She said she did not know if the FPM made the residents or staff aware of substitutions. She said breaded okra had a similar nutritional value to carrots. She said if residents were not eating because the food was not right, it could adversely affect the residents in that they could possibly have weight loss and depending on their disease processes, could cause other health problems such as dehydration.

RN A stated the CNA's should be asking the residents if there was anything they need or if the food needed to be warmed. RN A stated the amount of time the meal trays were out on the meal cart, about an hour or longer, she thought the food would not have been warm by the time the food was served to the residents in the rooms but did not ensure food was reheated. RN A stated she was not sure about the process on what to do if the food was getting cold and would need to ask. RN A stated by the food being cold could cause the residents to eat less or possibly not eat at all which could lead to weight loss and a possible decline. RN A stated if residents were eating less, then they could become dehydrated and become weaker. RN A stated there was no one that was responsible that she was aware of to ensure the meal trays were passed out in a timely manner and the food was warm.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some In an interview with the FPM on 09/16/24 at 2:00 PM, he stated he had a bid out for a replacement element for the convection oven. He said it had not been working for about a week. He said it should not be used for storage. He said the ADM knew about the bid. He said there must be a broken water pipe somewhere causing the water on the floor in the dry storage area and around the ice machine. He said he just noticed the water this morning, and he had already called a plumber. He said he just got the cans of fruit on a shipment. The dates written on top of the cans were 09/03/24. He said he was responsible for checking items when they came off the trucks. He said nothing when asked if he checked the use by dates on the cans before he accepted them. He said he did not know when or why dented pans should be discarded. He said he did not know what the substance was inside of the holding pan, and said it must be some kind of food. He said he did not check the pans when they were on the use rack. He said the substance on the inside of the holding pans could come off in the food and it could make residents sick. He said he did not know how long the substance in the pan had been there. He said the lid on the container of spice would not close. He said leaving spices open to air caouls cause them to become old faster and not taste good. He was unaware spices left open to air could result in contamination of the spices and cause illness to residents if they consumed them. Re-visit to the kitchen on 09/18/24 at 3:36 PM revealed significant water remaining on the floor in the dry storage room and around the ice maker, requiring continuous mopping. The container of spice remained open to air. The walk-in freezer had significant icicles hanging from the back of the condenser fan. In an interview with the FPM on 09/18/24 at 3:45 PM, he said the plumber came in Monday 09/16/24 and stuck a wire in all the drains. He said the plumber told him they would be back and bring a camera, they might have to re-pipe, because all the water pipes were going into one. He said he was unaware of the ice in the freezer. Interview with the MS on 09/19/24 at 12:34 PM, she said the plumbers had not come back yet. She said they told her they would need a snake (auger) to run through the drains. She said the leak started on Monday 09/16/24 and she could not determine where it came from. She said the company that looked at the freezer today told her there were a lot of small holes in the condenser and they would have to patch the holes before they fixed an opening near the roof where the freezer exhaust was located. She said she was assigning 2 personnel to mop the water in the dry storage room and around the ice maker. In an interview with the ADM on 09/19/24 at 1:33 PM, she said the breakroom for the kitchen staff was the same breakroom for everyone. She said it would take less than a minute to get there from the kitchen. She said personal items were not allowed in the kitchen area at any time due to cross contamination. She said she was made aware of the water on the floor on Monday 09/16/24. She said the plumbers came in on Monday 09/16/24 and had to leave because they there may have been a leak and they needed to get an auger (snake). She said today there was a leak discovered in the walk-in freezer. She said it was checked by the company today and they told her the freezer had a leak on top of the freezer condenser that would require repair and they were awaiting a quote. She said the FPM was responsible for making sure the food that came from the kitchen was right, meaning the temperatures of the meals needed to be reasonable, accurate, and on time. She said the FPM and RD should be working together to make sure the meal trays were not getting cold, and the food matched the menus. She said the staff rotated for kitchen duty daily. She said there was a list of the kitchen duties they were supposed to follow. She said the FPM was responsible for everything the kitchen staff was doing but she was ultimately responsible. She said the residents could be affected because if the equipment went down, there would be no food coming out and if the kitchen staff were not paying attention to (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675933 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 13 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675933 B.
