Summary

The facility failed to properly dispose of trash and refuse, as observed in the dumpster area. On December 8, 2024, at 9:45 a.m., multiple pieces of crushed plastic and cardboard debris, crushed Styrofoam containers, and used gloves were found scattered around the outside of both dumpsters. Additionally, one dumpster had two lids on top, with one lid wide open and the other lid supporting two full bags of garbage.

Plan Of Correction

The Director of Dining Services and dietary staff will be re-educated on maintaining a trash and refuse free dumpster area. 4. The NHA and/or designee will complete weekly random audits x 90 days of the dumpster area to ensure it remains free of trash and refuse. Results of the audit will be reported to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee monthly.
