Failure to Follow Water Management Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its infection prevention and control water management program by not carrying out required water management control measures. Review of the Water Management Plan for Legionella Control showed required protocols for flushing vacant resident rooms, testing hot water tanks, testing hot water outlets, and monitoring chlorine residual and pH levels on a biweekly basis. The plan also specified actions for rooms recently vacated and for rooms vacant more than 5 days, including flushing fixtures, toilets, and documenting the activity. Record review showed that the Healthcare Domestic Hot Water Temperature Checks Log documented multiple hot water outlet temperatures below the facility’s acceptable range, including readings of 110, 108, and 106 degrees in several areas such as the skilled dining room, skilled unit mop closet, skilled kitchen, skilled unit mop sink, and skilled unit island sink. During interview, the Maintenance Supervisor stated the facility could not provide flush logs for vacant rooms, biweekly hot water tank temperature logs, biweekly shower chlorine residual logs, or biweekly shower pH logs as required by the water management plan, and confirmed that no corrective action had been taken for the out-of-range temperatures.
Failure to Store Food in Accordance with Professional Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards, as observed in the kitchen's walk-in refrigerator. Specific issues included containers of marinara sauce, vegetable pot pie, and onions that were not labeled with use-by dates, and some items were visibly spoiled or improperly stored. Additionally, there were packages of sauerkraut and poppyseed dressing that were past their use-by dates, and several items such as cooked pasta, potato pancakes, and cut-up mushrooms were uncovered and exposed to the air without dates. Milk cartons and quarts were also found with expired dates, and a large eggplant was observed to be soft and leaking fluid. These observations were confirmed by the Culinary Manager and Assistant Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that all items should be covered, dated when opened, and discarded within five days of the open date. The facility's policy on food storage emphasizes the importance of proper storage to prevent contamination and food-borne illness. The policy requires routine inspection for cleanliness, removal of spoiled or infected food, and ensuring all items are sealed and labeled. The 2022 Food Code by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration also mandates that food should be protected from contamination and properly date-marked. The facility's failure to adhere to these standards was evident in the observations made during the survey, leading to the identified deficiency.
