Summary
The facility failed to properly monitor and log dish machine temperatures per shift in the main kitchen over a ten-month period. According to the facility's dish machine temperature policy, a test run should be completed before use, and temperatures should be recorded on a monitoring log if the required temperature is reached. During two separate tours of the kitchen, surveyors did not find any per shift temperature logs for the dish machine. Interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator, Dietary Manager, and Corporate Director of Dining Services confirmed that the facility did not monitor or log dish machine temperatures as required from June 2024 to March 2025.
