44	GUARDIAN ELDER CARE AT WHEELING	515002	20 HOMESTEAD AVENUE	WHEELING	WV	26003	2017-03-01	371	E	0	1	TKXD11	Based on observations, staff interview and review of FDA food code, the facility failed to serve foods in a sanitary manner. One (1) dietary aide was serving food with polished nails without wearing gloves and one dietary aide was wearing rings with stones on each hand while serving food. This has the potential to more than an isolated number of residents. Facility census: 145. Findings included: On 02/28/17 at 12:15 p.m., Dietary Aide (DA) #132 was plating resident food. DA #132 had polished finger nails and was not wearing gloves. DA #132 stated her nails were natural and were polished. Additionally, on 02/28/17 at 12:15 p.m., DA #26 was plating resident food on resident trays. DA #26 was wearing a diamond like ring on her left ring finger and a pearl like ring on her right ring finger. DA #26 stated she usually wore the rings when working in the kitchen. The Dietary Supervisor #125 instructed DA #26 to remove her rings. DA #26 removed her rings. The Dietary Supervisor instructed DA #132 to put on gloves, which she did. Review of the 2013 FDA Food Code Chapter 2 page 50 states: Unless wearing intact gloves in good repair, a FOOD EMPLOYEE may not wear fingernail polish or artificial fingernails when working with exposed FOOD. Except for a plain ring such as a wedding band, while preparing FOOD, FOOD EMPLOYEES may not wear jewelry including medical information jewelry on their arms and hands.	2020-09-01
