76	HAVEN OF SCOTTSDALE	35059	3293 NORTH DRINKWATER BOULEVARD	SCOTTSDALE	AZ	85251	2017-10-25	371	E	1	1	DB1811	> Based on observation, staff interview, review of the temperature logs and facility documentation, the facility failed to ensure one nourishment refrigerator temperatures were maintained at or below 41 degrees F. Findings include: During an observation conducted at 12:10 p.m. on (MONTH) 24, (YEAR), the nourishment refrigerator was observed to contain food and snacks for the residents. Review of the Refrigerator Temperature Log Audit for (MONTH) (YEAR) revealed the temperatures were to be checked daily. The log included that the temperature range should be between 35-46 degrees F, instead of at or below 41 degrees F, as required. Per the documentation, there were 12 of 24 days with documented temperatures between 42 to 46 degrees F. During an interview conducted at 1:00 p.m. on (MONTH) 24, (YEAR), the Dietary Manager (staff #35) stated the temperature range for the nourishment refrigerator should be between 35 and 41 degrees F. She stated this log was incorrect and was not the dietary refrigerator log which should be used. She stated she was not aware that the temperatures were often above 41 degrees F. Staff #35 stated that when the temperatures were not within the appropriate range, the food should have been discarded. She also said that snacks for residents are stored in the snack/nourishment refrigerator. Review of a facility's guideline regarding Resident Food Stored in Nourishment Refrigerators revealed that all nourishment refrigerators have a working thermometer and that the temperatures are to be maintained between 36-41 degrees F.	2020-09-01
