77 BRANDYWINE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER 85004 505 GREENBANK ROAD WILMINGTON DE 19808 2018-04-25 804 D 1 0 81S611 > Based on observation, resident interview and one out of two test tray results, it was determined that the facility failed to provide food that was served at an appetizing temperature and palatable. Findings include: 4/16/18 at 4:20 PM - During an interview, R7 stated that by the time her three meals, including her coffee, were delivered as she was the last room to be served, her meals were cold. R7 stated that she brought the problem to facility's attention multiple times. The facility responded by attempting different interventions to ensure she received hot meals, for example stating on her meal ticket to reheat her food before she was served and hand delivering her meal tray directly from the kitchen instead of placing her meal tray on the delivery cart. R7 stated that the meals would be better for one day after she would address the issue with the facility, but she was not consistently served hot meals even after the new interventions were initiated. 4/24/18 - An observation on the G wing hallway during the lunch meal revealed the following: - at 12:28 PM, an intercom announcement was made that the G wing hallway meal cart was being delivered; - at 12:37 PM, observed the G wing meal delivery cart sitting at the beginning of the G wing hallway unattended; - at 12:45 PM, observed E4 (UM) and E23 (CNA) delivering meal trays in the G wing hallway; - at 12:50 PM, observed 2 meal trays left on the delivery cart to which E23 stated that one resident refused his meal and the surveyor told her the last one was a test tray. - at 12:53 PM, the surveyor's test tray was tested for appetizing temperature and palatability. The surveyor found the meal was not served at an appetizing temperature and the following food items were unpalatable: turkey and scalloped potatoes. The turkey was 139.1 F, broccoli was 134.1 F, scalloped potatoes was 139.7 F, coffee was 145.6 F, milk was 45.0 F, grape juice was 49.1 F, and the apple pie was 47.7 F. 4/25/18 at 2:45 PM - Findings were reviewed with E2 (DON).
