Wet dishware was found stacked in the plate storage area, despite facility policy requiring dishware to be air dried and properly stored. During the kitchen tour, a wall-mounted fan directed toward the clean area and a ceiling vent over the dishwasher exit were observed with gray and black debris buildup. A DA confirmed the plates were wet in storage, and the Maintenance Director confirmed he was responsible for cleaning the fan and vent but did not keep logs or documentation.
Pest Control Program Failed to Control Flies in Kitchen. Flies were observed in the kitchen hovering around the steam table and prepared food, with flies landing on serving bowls and kitchen surfaces. The CDM confirmed the flies were present, and the Maintenance Director stated the prolonged summer led to continued flies and that he had not thought to put out fly bait. The pest control contract covered monthly service for several pests, but the service records showed no targeted fly services.
A resident experienced a severe weight loss of 5.23% in one month due to the facility's failure to implement timely interventions and follow its Weight Monitoring Policy. Despite physician orders and a care plan, the resident's weight dropped significantly, and the registered dietician was not promptly informed. Staff interviews revealed a lack of communication and unclear responsibilities regarding weight loss monitoring.
Wet Dishware Stored and Kitchen Sanitation Issues
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that dishware was not stored wet and failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the kitchen. Review of the facility policies titled Equipment and Warewashing showed that foodservice equipment was to be clean, sanitary, in proper working order, and that all dishware would be air dried and properly stored. During a kitchen tour with the Certified Dietary Manager, washed plates were observed stacked in the plate storage area with water between them. Additional observation in the kitchen showed a wall-mounted fan directed toward the clean section of the kitchen with a buildup of gray and black debris, and a ceiling vent over the exit side of the dishwasher with a buildup of gray material. A Dietary Aide confirmed that her duties included drying and storing dishware and utensils and using the high-temperature dishwasher, and she confirmed that the plates had water on them in the storage rack. The Maintenance Director confirmed responsibility for cleaning the fan and vent in the dishwashing area and stated he planned to clean vents every six months across the building, but did not maintain logs or documentation.
Pest Control Program Failed to Control Flies in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain effective pest control in the kitchen. Observations on 9/22/2025 at 10:07 am showed flies in the kitchen, including one fly landing on a four-ounce serving bowl with pudding, and at 10:16 am flies were seen hovering around the steam table with two landing on the pole supporting the table. On 9/23/2025 at 12:30 pm, during lunch meal pass, flies were again observed hovering around the steam table and prepared food, with one fly landing on a four-ounce serving bowl of assorted fruits. The Certified Dietary Manager confirmed the flies were present in the kitchen area. The Maintenance Director stated that the prolonged summer resulted in the continued presence of flies and that he had not thought to put out fly bait. Review of the pest control contract showed monthly service beginning 5/26/2020 for pests including roaches, ants, mice/rats, silverfish, fire ants, and certain cockroaches, and the monthly appointment records from January 2025 through August 2025 showed no targeted services for flies.
Failure to Implement Timely Interventions for Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to identify and implement timely interventions to prevent potential weight loss for a resident (R39) who experienced a severe weight loss of 5.23 percent in one month. The facility's Weight Monitoring Policy and Procedures required weekly weight reviews for residents with significant weight loss until their weight stabilized. However, R39, who was admitted with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, did not receive the necessary follow-up. Despite physician orders for a high-caloric drink and a care plan goal for meal consumption, R39's weight dropped from 153 lbs. to 145 lbs. within a month, indicating severe weight loss. The registered dietician (RD) noted the weight loss but did not document any follow-up actions or implement weekly weights as required by the policy. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of communication and unclear responsibilities regarding weight loss monitoring. The RD, who visited the facility monthly and had online access to medical records, was unaware of R39's weight loss until much later and did not receive timely notifications from nursing staff. The Restorative Aide (RA) and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that residents with weight loss should be discussed in weekly meetings, but R39 was not reviewed. The Medical Director, who was also unaware of R39's weight loss, emphasized the importance of being informed about such issues. This lack of communication and failure to follow the facility's weight monitoring policy contributed to the deficiency in care for R39.
