Failure to Follow Resident Menus and Honor Food Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that resident menus were followed and food preferences were honored, as observed during a recertification survey. This deficiency was evident for four residents out of a total of twelve sampled. Specifically, residents did not receive the food items listed on their meal tickets, and one resident did not receive their preferred food items as requested. The facility's policy requires that meal tickets are used to identify correct items for resident diets and that food service staff check trays for accuracy before they are delivered. However, discrepancies were noted between the menu, meal tickets, and the actual food served. Resident #95, who was cognitively intact, reported not receiving the food listed on their meal ticket or the menu. They were served Matzah crackers for multiple meals, which did not match the menu or meal ticket. Similarly, Resident #38, also cognitively intact, did not receive the food items listed on their meal ticket and expressed dissatisfaction with the repetitive meals. Resident #4, with multiple diagnoses including anemia and diabetes, also received meals that did not match their meal ticket and expressed dissatisfaction with the quality and variety of food. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the menus were created at the corporate level, and the Registered Dietitian claimed to have addressed resident complaints. However, the Food Services Supervisor acknowledged discrepancies during the Passover holiday, and the Assistant Administrator stated it was the Kitchen Supervisor's responsibility to ensure meal accuracy. Despite these acknowledgments, the facility failed to provide meals that matched the residents' meal tickets and preferences, leading to the identified deficiency.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Safety Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure food was stored, prepared, and distributed in accordance with professional standards for food service safety during a recertification survey. Observations in the kitchen revealed multiple deficiencies, including food items in refrigerators without proper labeling, opened food items not dated, expired food items, and food stored near rust or soiled surfaces. Specifically, hamburger meat and green string beans were found on the counter without dates, and various items in multiple refrigerators were either unlabeled, undated, or expired. Additionally, refrigerators were found with structural issues and debris, contributing to unsanitary conditions. Interviews with facility staff highlighted a lack of clear responsibility and oversight regarding food safety practices. The Food Services Supervisor indicated that refrigerators were cleaned every evening, but discrepancies in labeling and dating persisted. The Assistant Administrator was unsure about procedures for checking expired food or the duration food should remain in the refrigerator before disposal. The Maintenance Supervisor noted that the Dietary Department was responsible for reporting refrigerator issues, but the Administration decided on replacements. These findings indicate systemic issues in food storage and safety management within the facility.
Inaccessible Survey Results
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the most recent survey results were posted in a location that was readily accessible to residents, family members, and legal representatives. During the recertification survey, it was observed that the survey results were placed in the facility's basement, which was not in plain view and not easily accessible for review. Signage indicating the location of the survey results was inadequate, with no signs posted on the second floor, and the existing signs directed individuals to the basement, which was not frequented by residents. A resident attending the Resident Council meeting expressed that they were unaware of where to find the survey results, highlighting the inaccessibility of the information. The facility's policy required that survey results be maintained in an area frequented by most residents, such as the main lobby or resident activity room, and be readily accessible without requiring residents or visitors to ask for them. However, the survey results were stored in a file box in a low position in the basement, contrary to the facility's policy.
Improper Garbage Disposal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper disposal of garbage and refuse, as observed during the Recertification Survey. The facility's policy requires all garbage and rubbish containing food wastes to be kept in containers with tight-fitting lids or covers, which must remain covered when not in continuous use. However, during an observation on 5/1/2024, five large green trash containers were found uncovered, and a dumpster had exposed white trash bags, attracting flies in the area. The Maintenance Director acknowledged that it was the responsibility of the Maintenance Department to ensure trash container covers were on and to maintain cleanliness by hosing down the garbage area weekly.
