77	FAITH HEALTHCARE CENTER	425009	617 WEST MARION STREET	FLORENCE	SC	29501	2017-06-14	371	E	0	1	J20Y11	Based on observation and staff interview it was determined the facility failed to ensure staff completed proper glove changes and handwashing as required while preparing food. This placed residents at risk for foodborne illness. Findings include: Observation of lunch meal preparation on 04/12/17 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. revealed improper hand hygiene. Cook #86 was observed making sandwiches. Wearing gloves, she placed ham on slices of bread that had been laid out on a cooking sheet. She then picked up a plastic bag of eggs, removed a marker from her pocket, wrote the date on the bag, opened the fridge, put the bag of eggs in the fridge, put the marker back in her pocket, and returned to the sandwiches, placing a slice of bread on each sandwich, wearing the same gloves. She was observed to touch a cart, obtain two loaves of bread, open a cabinet, retrieve a pan of food from the stove, retrieve a strainer and food processor from the sink area, turned on the sink faucet and then returned to place pickles on the sandwiches, using the same gloved hands. Using a knife, she opened a cheese wrapper and sliced some cheese. She then put turkey and cheese slices on the sandwiches. She obtained a cutting board and placed it on a counter, then placed the top slice of bread on more of the sandwiches. She proceeded to slice some ham and then chopped it, ripped open a bread wrapper and continued to put the top slice of bread on the sandwiches, without handwashing or glove change. These observations were shared with Dietary Manager #114 at 10:25 a.m. who spoke to the staff member about the need for handwashing and glove changing when moving between tasks. At 10:40 a.m. Dietary Aide #61 was observed making pureed apples. Wearing gloves, she put the food processor together, turned on and off the food processor several times, used a spatula to check the consistency of the apples, obtained a bowl and then, using the same gloved hands, reached into the food processor and scooped apples out of the food processor. These observations of a lack of handwashing / glove change when preparing / touching food items and potentially contaminated objects during lunch meal preparation on 04/12/17 were discussed with Dietary Manager #114 and Corporate Regulatory Specialist #135 on 04/12/17 at 4:20 p.m. Both expressed an understanding of these issues.	2020-09-01
