6791	MAGNOLIA MANOR OF ST SIMONS REHAB & NURSING CENTER	115582	2255 FREDERICA ROAD	SAINT SIMONS ISLAND	GA	31522	2013-02-14	371	F	0	1	NIB111	Based on observation, staff interview and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that two ice makers used for all residents that received iced beverages from the kitchen and one nurse's station ice maker (400 hall) were clean and sanitary. Findings include: 1. During an initial tour of the facility's kitchen with the dietary manager on 02/11/13 at 12:00 p.m., the interior of the ice machine in the kitchen had a large amount of a black mold like substance on the area where the ice would fall from the ice maker into the ice bin. At that time, the dietary manager said that the ice machine was cleaned two weeks ago by the maintenance department. Review of the documentation of the ice machine maintenance indicated that the last cleaning was done on January 17,2013. The maintenance staff designated on the Ice Machine Form that the various tasks were performed by writing OK. On January 17, 2013, the maintenance staff did not indicate that the interior of the ice machine was cleaned. The staff noted on the Ice Machine Form that the ice bin was cleaned and sanitized in August of 2012. The facility form also indicated that the machine was due to be cleaned on January 31, 2013. The facility did not have a record of cleaning the ice machine on January 31, 2013. 2. Observations of the pantry ice machine in the 400 hall nurse's station on 02/12/13 at 10:00 a.m., 11:10 a.m. and 4:35 p.m., and on 2/13/13 at 7:20 a.m., revealed a black mold like substance around the rim of the interior of the ice machine. The substance could drip down onto the ice from the condensation inside of the machine. On 2/13/13 at 2:24 p.m., the environmental staff observed the black mold inside the ice machine. The staff turned the machine off and took the ice that was in the machine and filled the ice chest that the staff used to serve the residents. At 2:36 p.m., a resident came to the nurse's station and requested his/her pitcher to be filled with ice. Nursing staff went to the ice chest and filled the pitcher up with the ice that had been removed from the ice machine. During an interview on 2/14/13 at 9:58 a.m., the maintenance director stated that the form provided was a new form implemented in January of 2013. The ice machine was cleaned in December and in January. The new system required a different machine to be checked each week but, all machines were supposed to be checked once monthly. The supervisor assigned the staff to complete the tasks on the ice machines. The black mold substance was unusual in the ice machines. The company was contacted regarding mold growth in the ice machines. The machines were de-limed every three months, and then cleaned with Clorox product every time mold was observed. The maintenance director was to receive a product to prevent mold growth.	2017-10-01
