Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 10/14/2024 at 12:15 pm [NAME] 1 stated he had been at the facility 2 years and had
received training on how to properly store food. He stated it was his responsibility to label and date food
items, but he got busy and forgot. He stated it was important to store food correctly because we have to
make sure we don't serve spoiled food to the residents; they could get very sick.
During an interview on 10/14/2024 at 12:18 pm [NAME] 2 stated she had been at the facility 32 years and
had received training on how to store and label food. She stated they needed to make sure we throw it out
after 3 days because we can't serve resident's old food. She stated, they could get sick, get a virus, throw
up or be real sick.
During an interview on 10/14/2024 at 12:34 PM the DM stated she was responsible for the kitchen and to
ensure all food was appropriately stored. The DM stated they had their full book survey back in June of
2024 and the kitchen received a dietary citation for not properly storing food. The DM stated she did
in-services with all dietary staff about how to properly label and date food for storage. She stated, I guess
I'm going to have to in-service again. The DM stated she typically does weekly audits for food storage and if
she finds things not correctly labeled, dated, or stored, she will fix it herself and then go talk to her staff.
She stated she was pretty sure the applesauce and prunes were used after the dates when they should
have been discarded, but no residents have gotten sick that I know of. The DM stated it was important to
properly store food because the residents could get really sick, have stomach problems, have to go to the
hospital, even death.
During an interview on 10/14/2024 at 12:50 am the AD stated it was the DM's responsibility to ensure food
was properly stored. The AD stated she had been at the facility since January and was aware of the
previous dietary citation from the June 2024 survey. She stated to her knowledge, no one from corporate
had done in-services with the DM after the survey citations. She stated it was important to store food
correctly to ensure residents do not get sick but no one has gotten sick from the food that I know of.
During an interview on 10/14/2024 at 12:55 pm, the DON stated that the facility currently had no residents
that were provided nourishment through tube feedings. He stated all residents ate meals out of the facility
kitchen. He further stated that all residents could potentially get sick or contract a food borne illness if
expired food or improperly stored food was served from the kitchen.
Review of the facility's, undated, policy, titled Food Date/Label Policy reflected:
PURPOSE: It is the purpose of this facility to ensure time/temperature sensitive food and beverage
products are dated and labeled according to the manufacture's requirements and state/federal regulations.
