Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the dishwasher was reaching 180 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize the dishes and prevent cross contamination. This applies to all 56 residents in the facility. The findings include: On 8/22/25 the facility census showed a total of 56 residents residing in the facility. On 8/22/25 at 9:30AM Surveyor asked V8 (Dietary Aid) to check the Sanitizer level in
the dishwasher. V8 used a Quaternary Ammonia strip and ran it through a cycle of the dishwasher. The strip came out a light blue color. Comparing it to the key and the package of strips V8 stated, It's supposed to be between this one (400ppm) and that one (500ppm). We check the dishwasher once a day. Surveyor then showed V7 (Dietary Manager) the test strip and V7 looked at the dishwashing machine and stated she would have to get maintenance because she doesn't know anything about it.At 9:45AM V4 (Maintenance Director) Came to inspect dishwasher. V4 tried to run the final rinse cycle with no numbers showing on the screen for the final rinse temperature. V4 stated, I didn't know I was responsible for the dishwasher.At 9:50AM V7 (Dietary Manager) stated, I have never had to have the dishwasher serviced. I'm not sure who
we use.On 8/22/25 at 12:03PM V5 (Maintenance Director from a Sister Facility) stated, The dishwasher is a high temp machine- the machine is designed to get to 190 degrees but I don't know why it is not displaying
the temp. The wash temp is reading fine, but I can't get the final rinse temp to show. The machine is showing 200 on the strips. Surveyor asked to accompany V5 to the dishwasher for another test. V5 again used Quaternary strips and ran one through a cycle on the dishwasher. The strip did not register any quaternary ammonia. Surveyor pointed out that the strips were to test quaternary ammonia and this is a hot water machine. V5 then went to look for strips to test for hot water and returned stating they did not have any hot water test strips available in the building. At 12:10PM Surveyor requested temperature logs for the dishwasher from V7 and V7 stated, we don't have those. The facility policy entitled Dish Machine Use dated December 30, 2024 states, Dish machine hot water sanitation rinse temperature may not be more than194 degrees F, or less than 180 degrees F for all other machines.
