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 that food was prepare,
distributed, and served food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. The facility
failed to ensure that equipment was clean. The facility failed to ensure that plates, bowls, and cups with
dried food particles, and glasses with water spots and stains were not stored with clean plates, bowls and
glasses.The facility failed to ensure that menu items on the steam table were maintained at 135 degrees F
and above.-The facility failed to ensure that cooked poultry in the walk-in cooler was at the correct holding
temperature of 41 degrees F and below.-The facility failed to ensure that pans with food particles on them
were not stored with clean pans. These failures could place residents who ate food prepared by the kitchen
at risk of foodborne disease. Findings included: Observation during initial tour on 12/1/2025 from 7:25AM to
8:00AM of the facility's kitchen with Foodservice Director B revealed the following:Clean plates, bowls and
cups with dried food particles and food stains on them. Clean glasses with water spots and stains on them.
Holding pans with food particles in them.The stove air vent covers had dust and grease on them.The
double convection oven had burnt food particles and grease in them. The walk-in-cooler had a baked turkey
that was cooked on 11/30/2025 at 6:30pm was at 44 degrees Fahrenheit.The plates, bowls, cups, glasses
and pans were rewashed. In an interview on 12/01/2025 at 8:00a.m., with Foodservice Director B she said
usually when pots, pans, plates, bowls, cups and glasses were washed, the dishwasher personnels were
expected to check for stains and food particles before they were stacked away. She said the turkeys were
cooked the day before and should be cooled down in about 6 hours. She said, maybe because the turkeys
were stacked on the same rack and the 4th turkey was at the bottom that could be the reason it did not cool
down to the required holding temperature. She said moving forward she would ensure that hot foods were
chilled to the proper temperature before they were stored away. In an interview with the Food Service
Manager on 12/1/2025 at 8:05AM she said the turkey should have cool down since it was in the refrigerator
from the previous day. She said the turkey was discarded because she did not want anyone to get sick. She
said she was going to ensure meat was cooled down in the freezer to the correct temperature before it was
placed in the cooler. Further interview at that time with the food service manager revealed they had extra
cooking for Thanksgivings, and she was going to ensure the stove vent covers were clean. Observation of
Breakfast meal service on 12/1/2025 at 8:10 a.m., revealed 3 menu items on the steam table were not at
the correct holding temperatures. The menu items were scrambled eggs at 120 degrees and ground beef at
110 degrees and grits at 130. The menu items were reheated to 165 degrees by the food service
manager.In an interview on 12/01/2025 at 8:15AM with Dietary Aide A, she said she usually serves the
resident who ate in the dining room their cereal first and when they were finished eating, they would be
served the main course. She said she was waiting for them to finish their cereal, before the main course
was served. She said the food temperature on the steam table was okay before service

interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain clinical records in accordance with acceptable
professional standards and practices that are complete, accurately documented, readily accessible and
systematically organized for 1 of 1 resident (Resident # 1) reviewed for clinical records. The facility failed to
ensure the MDS Coordinator accurately documented and uploaded Resident # 1's care conference reports
for 09/10/2025. This failure could place residents at risk for missing progress towards achieving their
person-centered plan of care, and delayed care.Findings included: Record review of Resident # 1's face

p.m., revealed, the care conference documentations were not done quarterly as indicated in the MDS. The
care conference documentation revealed the facility did not have care conference documentation and
assessment for 09/10/2025. The documentation was for the following dates: 06/10/2025, and attendees
were- ADON, SW, DM and AD. On 03/11/2025, the attendees were- ADON, AD, DM, and SW. During an
interview with the MDS Coordinator on 12/02/2025 at 2:12 p.m., he said some of his job description
included: attending the care conferences via telephone and taking notes during the care conference
meetings. The MDS Coordinator said it was his responsibility to upload the minutes of the care
conferences. He said the care conferences were held every three months for each resident. He said if
Resident # 1's care conference was held on 06/10/2025, the next one would have been 09/10/2025, and
the upcoming care conference would be 12/10/2025. The MDS Coordinator did not give an explanation as
to why there was no documentation for Resident # 1's September 2025 care conference report in the EMR.
He said from a nurse standpoint, if something is not documented, it means it did not happen. He said, we
never missed the care conferences. During an interview with the SW on 12/02/2025 at 3:03 p.m., she said
she attends all the care conferences which are held quarterly for all residents. She said, I complete

from the dietary team, the MDS Coordinator who works from home some days and attends the care
conferences via telephone. If the resident was on skilled services, the rehabilitation director would be
present. The SW said, after the meeting, it is the responsibility of the MDS Coordinator to upload the
reports in the EMR. She said if the reports were not uploaded, anyone looking for the reports would have to
ask one of the department heads that attended the meeting. During an interview with the AD on 12/02/2025
at 3:18 p.m., she said she did attend care conference meetings but did not say yes or if the facility had a
care conference meeting for Resident # 1. The AD said, the care conference meetings are held every
Tuesday. She said the care conferences were conducted every three months for each resident. She listed
the following as attendees: SW, DON, ADON, DM and herself. She said the MDS Coordinator takes notes,
and it was his responsibility to upload the care conference reports into the EMR after the meetings. The AD
said if a resident had a care conference meeting in June, the subsequent ones would be in September and
December of 2025. She said if an investigator/surveyor needed to know if a care conference was
conducted, they would have to look at the residents EMR, because the notes should be in the EMR. The
AD said if the notes were not found in the EMR, it meant the care conference was not done. She said the
families, and if the residents had a POA, were invited to the meetings too. The AD said, if the residents are
on Hospice, a Hospice representative would be invited. She said the residents were welcome to attend the
meetings if they could and if the family wants them to attend. During an interview with the DON on
12/02/2025 at 3:36 p.m., she said care conferences were held on Tuesdays at 10 a.m., She said care
conferences were conducted on admission and there after quarterly. She said she took minutes during the
meeting. The DON said, it is the MDS Coordinator's responsibility to upload the reports into the EMR, and if
he were out, I would upload the reports. She said Resident # 1 s September 2025 care conference record
could have been missing due to human error. She said a resident would miss a care conference meeting if
they were hospitalized . The DON said if Resident # 1 had a care conference in June of 2025 the next one
would have been held in September 2025. The DON said if a care conference report was missing in the
EMR, the reviewer should look at the previous one and request the report from one of the attendees
because they were the same at every care conference. She said, as a nurse, if documentation was missing,
it meant the care conference did not take place. She said she could have missed documenting the care
conference report for Resident # 1 because she was newly hired and was multitasking. During an interview
with the ADON on 12/03/2025 at 3:58 p.m., she said, I attend all meetings. I attended the care conferences
with the families, therapy staff, SW, AD, food Director, MDS Coordinator and the DON. The ADON said
most often, the time DON and MDS Coordinator would take notes. ADON said it was the responsibility of
the DON and the MDS Coordinator to upload the care conference reports in the EMR, but if they are
absent, it was ADON's responsibility to upload the meeting reports. ADON could not give an answer to the
question why Resident # 1's care conference report for the month of September 2025 was not uploaded
into the EMR. She said the facility had never missed a care conference meeting. She said the facility would
reschedule if the resident's family was unavailable. She said the care conferences were held every three
months. ADON said if not documented, it means it wasn't done. She said, if Resident # 1 had a care
conference conducted and documented in June 2025 the next one would have been in September and
documented in the EMR. She said during the care conferences, nursing department would discuss the
medications, if any fall, and discuss the previous three months skin concerns, and treatment changes. She
said sometimes families would voice their concerns, food service would discuss the residents' likes and
dislikes. The ADON said if documentation was missing, it would break the trust between the residents,
facility and family. She said missed documentation could affect the care of
