4745 MUSC HEALTH CHESTER NURSING CENTER 425061 1 MEDICAL PARK DRIVE CHESTER SC 29706 2016-05-11 371 F 0 1 1UJ011 Based on observations, interviews and review of the facility's Resident Food Service policy, the facility failed to ensure foods were properly covered during meal delivery on 2 days of the survey on 4 of 4 halls observed sanitary food delivery. Food trays had bread on a saucer and fruit in a small clear colored bowl that were uncovered during meal delivery. The findings included: During meal observation on 5/09/16 at approximately 12:15 PM on the Brice Wing revealed bread on a saucer that was not covered when staff removed a food tray from the food cart and delivered the tray down the hall. Staff was observed pressing the food tray closed to his/her mid section to balance the food tray while the bread was uncovered. Staff was observed delivering other trays to the(NAME)Wing from the food cart with uncovered bread on the food tray. During the meal observation on 5/09/16 at approximately 12:50 PM on the Gaston Wing staff was observed delivering food trays with uncovered bread on a saucer from the food cart. During meal observation on 5/10/16 at approximately 1 PM, staff was observed delivering food trays down the hall from a food cart with fruit in a bowl that was uncovered. An interview on 5/10/16 at approximately 1:06 PM with Certified Nursing Aide #1 confirmed the fruit in the bowl was not covered and that sometimes other food items are covered and sometimes they are not. During an interview with the Director of Food and Nutrition Services on 5/11/16 at approximately 10 AM confirmed the bread on the saucers and fruit in bowls were not covered on the food tray because they were delivered from the main kitchen to the unit inside a food cart. A review of the facility's Resident Food Services policy reviewed under Dining Services Department under bullet #2 Assembles meals in the kitchen and delivers them in an enclosed cart or delivers food pans to serving area in closed cart. When served on ancillary open carts, ensures all food items not under cover or served in individual packaging are protected with plastic wrap or other covering. 2019-08-01
