11457 EAGLE POINTE 515159 1600 27TH STREET PARKERSBURG WV 26101 2011-05-12 371 F     1I0H11 . Part I -- Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to assure foods were prepared and served under conditions which assured the prevention of contamination, and failed to reduce practices which have the potential to result in food contamination and compromised food safety. These practices have the potential to affect all facility residents who receive nourishment from the dietary department. Facility census: 129. Findings include: a) Observations of the dietary department, with the dietary manager (Employee #21) as part of the initial tour on 05/02/11 at 3:00 p.m., found large stainless steel mixing bowls were still wet when being stored and the shelf on which they were stored was wet. Review of the recent county sanitarian report, dated 02/23/11, found the dietary department was cited for not allowing pans to air dry before stacking them. b) Also found during the initial tour were the following: - Plastic containers of whole and skim milk in the walk-in refrigerator were not dated when opened, so dietary staff could determine how long each product had been opened and whether it was still safe for consumption. - Oven doors, when opened, were found to have food debris spilled across the edges and to be in need of cleaning. c) Observation of nourishment station on the North unit, on 05/10/11 at 2:40 p.m., found in the refrigerator a open / half-empty container of honey-thickened liquid that was not dated when opened. This finding was related to the dietary manager at 1:00 p.m. on 05/11/11. -- Part II -- Based on observation, review of the facility's hand washing policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of three (3) employees (#58 and #39) practiced effective hand hygiene during meal service to prevent the potential spread of infection. This had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Facility census: 129. Findings include: a) Employee #39 During the evening meal service on 05/02/11, observation found a nursing assistant (Employee #39) distributing a meal tray to Resident #107 in the resident's room; while doing so, Employee #39 touched the resident's overbed table and water pitcher. Without washing hands or using hand sanitizer, Employee #39 then went to the food cart and obtained another tray, which he served to Resident #36. The employee then washed his hands before returning to the food cart to obtain another resident's meal tray for distribution. This finding was reported to the administrator at approximately 1:30 p.m. on 05/05/11. b) Employee #58 During the evening meal service on the dementia unit on 05/02/11 at 5:30 p.m., observation found a registered nurse (RN - Employee #58) washed her hands and then turned off the water faucet before obtaining a paper towel. Review of the facility's policy and procedure for hand washing (dated 01/2010) found in Section C at Item 3: "When washing hands with soap and water, wet hands first with water, apply soap and rub hands together vigorously for at least 20 seconds (Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 2010) covering all surfaces of the hands and fingers. Rinse hands with water and dry thoroughly with a disposable towel. Use towel to turn off the faucet." The above was reviewed with the administrator at 3:30 p.m. on 05/10/11. . 2014-03-01
