Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents' environment remained free of accident hazards as was possible for accident prevention for 1 of 4 resident halls (Hall 3) observed for safety hazards. The Maintenance Director failed to ensure his toolbox was closed and secure from residents gaining access to it on Hall 3. This failure could result in the residents accessing

the toolbox and using tools to potentially harm themselves or others. Findings include: In an observation on 01/29/26 at 09:06 AM, a large toolbox was observed open at the end of Hall 3, unsecured. The toolbox exposed numerous tools, such as a cordless drill, screwdrivers, wrenches, and a hammer, which may be harmful to a resident.

an interview on 01/29/26 at 11:37 AM, the Maintenance Director was informed of his toolbox being left on

the hall unsecured. He stated the Administrator spoke with him about leaving his toolbox out. He stated the toolbox needed to be secured because it could be a trip hazard and the tools in his toolbox could harm a resident.

The Dietary Manager failed to ensure the residents' meals were at a safe and appetizing temperature. This failure could result in the residents consuming food at unsafe temperatures and experiencing unhealthy weight loss. Findings included: In an interview on 01/29/26 at 10:30 AM, Resident #2 stated she was the Resident Council President and for the past 6 months, she and the residents who attended the meeting were complaining about the food being served for all meals.

In an interview and observation on 01/29/26 at 12:30 PM, the Dietary manager provided a test tray of a regular, mechanical, and pureed diet. The food was lukewarm. The DM stated she sometimes checked to ensure the cook was checking the temperature of the food as it was prepared, but she did not check it regularly. She stated she received the temperature logs from the cooks at the end of the day but was not present when the temperature was taken. She stated if the food was too cold, residents would not want to eat, and they would lose weight. The DM could not provide a temperature log for the breakfast and lunch meals served on 01/29/26. In an interview on 01/29/26 at 1:30 PM, the outgoing Administrator was informed of the complaint about the temperature of the food. She stated she spoke with the DM and found out the warming plate was malfunctioning, and they would get it repaired.

she would ensure the kitchen was checking the temperature of the food prior to it being dispersed to the residents to ensure it was meeting the preferable temperature for residents.
