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 reviews the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and
serve food under sanitary conditions in 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed for kitchen sanitation.The facility failed to
ensure the temperature for the dish machine was at the appropriate temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit
during the wash cycle according to the manufacturer's guidelines to sanitize dishes appropriately on
02/04/2026.This failure could place residents who eat from the kitchen at risk of foodborne illnesses.
Findings included :During an initial observation and interview on 02/04/2026 at 09:00 a.m., Dietary Aide A
was running the dish machine after the breakfast meal. Dietary Aide A ran the machine and checked the
Dish Machine gauge for required temperature of compliance with manufactures requirements of 120
degrees Fahrenheit during the wash cycle. After 4 attempts the temperature reached 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. Dietary Aide A said the machine was tested early this morning and reached a temperature of
120 degrees Fahrenheit for wash cycle and tested for final rinse - 50 ppm (parts per million) hypochlorite
(chlorine) on dish surface in final rinse. During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 9:15 a.m., the Dietary
Manager said he had been the Dietary Manager for two years. He said he would contact the Maintenance
Director to ensure the hot water heater was functioning as the morning load at the facility would pull the hot
water supply down. The Dietary Manager said the facility would serve using disposable products until the
dish machine had reached the required 120 degrees for sanitation. He said that if the dishes were not
properly sanitized the residents could develop a food borne illness.During an interview on 02/04/2026 at
9:30 a.m., the Maintenance Director said he had adjusted the temperature on the hot water heater and the
dish machine. He said that after laundry had been done this morning the heater was not keeping up with

requirements. During an observation on 02/04/2026 at 11:30 am the Dietary Aide ran the dish machine,
and the Dish Machine meet the required temperature of compliance with manufactures requirements of 120
degrees Fahrenheit during the wash cycle and final rinse - 50 ppm (parts per million) hypochlorite (chlorine)
on dish surface as required. During an interview on 2/4/2026 at 2:00 p.m., the Director of Health Care
Operations said the dish machine should reach 120 degrees during operation to ensure sanitation and the
sanitation should be 50-100 parts per million chlorine in the rinse cycle. She said the Dietary Aide would be
in-serviced on proper sanitation procedures for dishwashing and to report when the machine was not
reaching the required temperatures. The Director of Health Care Operations said the facility would remain
on paper products until the water temperature reached the required temperatures for sanitation. She said if
the dishes were not properly sanitized the residents could develop a food borne illness.During an interview
and record review on 2/5/2026 at 11:00 a.m., the Administrator said the low temp dish machine should
reach 120 degrees during operation. The Administrator said that the hot water heater was not functioning
properly and had been adjusted to meet the required temperature. The Administrator said a new part was
ordered to repair the hot water heater. The receipt for the part was reviewed with the Administrator. The
Administrator said she was not aware of any problems with the hot water heater until 02/04/2026. She said
that if the dishes were not properly sanitized the residents could develop a food borne illness.Record review
