In the surveyor’s words

From the most serious findings on record at Sunny View Manor, in the surveyor’s own words.

• Actual harm, isolatedF684Apr 18, 2024

  Based on interview and record review, The facility failed to ensure staff promptly reported a significant change in condition to the physician for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). Staff failed to promptly report a significant change in condition to the physician when Resident 1 showed a reduced level of alertness and Resident 1's Glasgow Coma Scale (a scale used to reliably measure a person's level of consciousness after a brain injury) was 9 out of 15 (where a score of 13 or higher correlates with mild brain injury, a score of 9 to 12 correlates with moderate brain injury, and a score of 8 or less represents severe brain injury). […]

• No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF804Apr 17, 2025

  Based on observation, dietary staff interview and document review, the facility failed to conserve nutritional food value. The cooked food prepared for lunch on 4/14/25 were placed on the steamtable 1 1/2 hours prior to service. This failure had the potential to compromise nutritional quality and palatability of residents who received meals from the kitchen. Findings: Processing and cooking conditions cause variable losses of vitamins. Losses vary widely according to cooking method and type of food. Degradation of vitamins depends on specific conditions during the culinary process, e.g., temperature, presence of oxygen, light, moisture, pH, and, of course, duration of heat treatment (Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, June 2006). […]

• No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF812Jan 12, 2024

  Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary conditions were met for food storage and preparation in the kitchen when: 1. Produce was not labeled or dated in the walk-in refrigerator. 2. Hot foods were not kept at 135 degrees Fahrenheit during meal service tray line. These failures had the potential for all residents in the facility to be introduced to food borne illnesses. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/24, at 8:43 a.m., with Director of Dining Services (DDS) in the kitchen, eight raw whole honeydew melons were noted to be in a non-manufacturer hard plastic container in the walk-in refrigerator. No labels or dates were noted on honeydew melons or the container. […]

• No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF801Oct 14, 2022

  Based of observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the registered dietitian effectively carried out the functions of the Food and Nutrition Services as evidenced by lapses in the delivery of services associated with staff competency (Cross-reference F802), portion sizes for puree diets (cross-reference F803), food safety and sanitation (Cross-reference F812), and pests in the kitchen (Cross-reference F925). This failure to ensure food and nutrition services systems are accurately and effectively delivered may result in food borne illness for a highly susceptible population and/or not meeting the nutritional needs of the 31 residents who ate food by mouth from the kitchen out of a facility census of 32. […]

• No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF812Oct 14, 2022

  Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe sanitary practice in the kitchen. The facility failed to ensure food was stored and prepared under sanitary conditions when: 1. Time temperature control for safety foods (TCS - another name for Potentially Hazardous food)) that requires time/temperature control for safety to limit the growth of pathogens (i.e., bacterial or [CONDITION(S)] organisms capable of causing a disease or toxin formation) were not properly cooled down, 2. Cups for fruit, and mugs for juice were stored with residue inside; 3. The meat slicer was stored with food particles on it; 4. The can opener had residue build-up around the blade and base; 5. […]
