F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on interview, observation and record review the facility failed to maintain infection control practices during food preparation for 1 of 1 meal observed for meal preparation. The DS failed to maintain infection control practice by:1. The DS failed to complete hand hygiene appropriately.2. The DS failed to sanitize the thermometer with a clean alcohol swab between food items. 3. The DS failed to sanitize the thermometer after touching another surface with the thermometer. These failures could result in cross contamination or food allergies. Findings Include: An observation was conducted on 08/06/2025 at 11:25AM while the DS pureed the food for lunch. The DS had placed the chicken into the puree blender and completed the puree process. After the DS emptied the chicken out of the blender, the DS moved onto the next food item to puree. This process was continued through 3 more menu items at which the DS did not wash their hands in between food items. An observation was conducted on 08/06/2025 at 11:45AM while the DS took temperatures of the food items. The DS used an alcohol swab and a thermometer to check the temperatures. After each food item, the DS used the same alcohol swab to clean it off. The DS then used the same thermometer to pick up a lid and continue temperature checks on the food. An observation was made after temperature checks where the DS completed the hand washing process. The DS turned the water on, used soap to wash her hands, and then turned off the sink with her hand. The DS then grabbed a paper towel and dried her hands. An interview was conducted on 08/07/2025 at 1:06PM with the DS who stated they have worked at the facility since 1987. The DS described hand hygiene as turn on the water, wash your hands with soap, pull a paper towel out and turn off sink with the paper towel, not your hands.

The DS stated that temperature check should be to take the thermometer, clean it with an alcohol swab and clean it between menu items. The DS stated that they use the same alcohol swab every time. The DS stated that not properly cleaning the thermometer between food items could result in cross contamination. An interview was conducted on 08/07/2025 at 3:10PM with the DON who had worked at the facility since 2020. The DON stated the expectation for infection control in the kitchen was to make sure that the food was safe to eat. The DON described the process for handwashing in the kitchen as wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and water. The DON confirmed that staff should turn off the sink with a paper towel. The DON stated the expectation for temperature checks in the kitchen was to prevent infection control and reduce the potential for Micro-organisms to grow. The DON stated unproper hand hygiene and infection control practices could negatively impact a resident by the potential for cross contamination. An interview was conducted on 08/07/2025 at 4:00PM with the ADM who had worked at the facility for 2 years. The ADM stated the expectation for infection control in the kitchen was for staff to follow infection control practices. The ADM stated that the handwashing protocol in the kitchen should be staff wash their hands with soap and water and turn the faucet off with a paper towel. The ADM stated the expectation for temperature checks in the kitchen, to prevent infection control was to ensure that there was a clean wipe for every food item. The ADM stated that staff should not use the thermometer to pick up lids and continue temperature checks without sanitizing the thermometer first. The ADM stated that could be an issue for infection control. The ADM stated that not following infection control practices in the kitchen could negatively impact a resident because the staff's hands could be contaminated. The ADM stated turning the faucet off with your hand instead of a paper towel defeats the purpose of washing their hands. RR of policy titled Food Safety dated 2006 reflect the following:1.
