8215 | HILLTOP CENTER | 515061 | PO BOX 125 | HILLTOP | WV | 25855 | 2012-05-22 | 441 | E | 0 | 1 | JXHC11 | Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to maintain a safe, sanitary environment to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection. It was the facility's practice to leave opened carts of partially consumed foods, soiled plates, soiled bowls, soiled glasses, and soiled cups in the resident hallway outside the dietary department for extended periods of time. This deficient practice affected one (1) of forty-six (46) Stage 2 sampled residents, and provided access to contaminated food-related items by any resident present in the hallway. Resident identifier: #109. Facility census: 115. Findings include: a) Resident #109 Observation throughout this survey event found open three-shelf metal carts left in the resident hallway outside the dietary department for extended periods of time. It was noted the carts contained partially eaten food items, soiled plates, cups, bowls and glasses. This practice was observed following the morning snack pass, following the noon meal service, following the afternoon snack pass, and following the evening meal service. On 05/21/12 at 2:30 p.m., Resident #109 was observed in his wheelchair adjacent to the dietary department door. It was noted he was looking at the cart parked outside the dietary department which contained partially consumed food items from the afternoon snack pass. Resident #109 approached the cart and removed a Styrofoam cup of an ice cream-like substance from the top of the cart. He removed the paper covering from the cup exposing the contents. It was noted the rim of the cup was broken, and spoon marks were trailing along the top. The resident stuck his tongue into the cup and began licking and sucking at the contents. The facility placed Resident #109 and other residents at risk of disease and/or infection by this unsafe and unsanitary practice. | 2016-07-01 |
