Summary
The facility failed to provide food and beverages at an appetizing temperature on one of five nursing units. A resident reported difficulty obtaining coffee that was not cold. Facility documentation specified that coffee should be served at a temperature greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit at the point of service. However, during a test tray audit conducted after the last resident meal tray was served, the coffee was measured at 128 degrees Fahrenheit, which is below the required temperature. These findings were based on resident interview, review of facility documentation, and direct observation during the audit.
