- E Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview, record review, and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to provide food served at a safe and appetizing temperature to ensure resident satisfaction and safety for 5 out of 17 residents who attended the Resident Group Meeting held on 02/12/2025 at 1:20 PM. Five interviewable residents (Resident (R)4, R7, R38, R69, and R291) selected by the facility in a resident group meeting all expressed concerns about the facility's food, which included hot food being served cold. Observation of a test tray with the Dietary Manager (DM) revealed hot food temperatures were below 135 degrees Fahrenheit (F)and cold foods were above 41 degrees F. An interview with the DM revealed the hot foods on the test tray should be served at 135 degrees F, at a minimum, and the cold foods/beverages should have been below 41 degrees F.
- D Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview, record review, and review of the facility's policy, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the security and confidentiality of medical records for one of twenty-nine (29) sampled residents, Resident 4 (R4).
