Specifically, the plate warmer in the kitchen, SECO model 66 lacked a preventive maintenance or inventory sticker placing all residents (based on a census of 18) at risk for receiving foods at inconsistent and/or potentially dangerous temperature ranges. Findings: Observations on 7/30 - 8/3/2018 revealed kitchen staff retrieving plates from a SECO model 66 plate warmer. Further observation revealed the equipment lacked a preventive or any type of maintenance or inventory sticker. During an interview on 8/1/18 at 12:25 pm with the Dietary Manager (DM) when asked how maintenance on the plate warmer was completed, the DM reported when the machine breaks we submit a work order and it gets fixed. When asked to see the policy for maintenance/use and owner's manual for the plate warmer the DM was unable to produce these documents. During an interview on 8/1/18 at 2:30 pm with Environmental Services (ES) employee #s 1 and 2, when asked to produce a policy or any documentation for maintenance/use or the owner's manual for the plate warmer they were unable to produce these documents.	2020-09-01
