Deficiency in Food Storage and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store food items in a safe and sanitary manner and maintain the environment in a safe and sanitary condition in the main kitchen. During an observation with the dietitian, it was noted that a mobile rack holding bowls had debris and felt greasy, two floor drains contained extensive debris, and the perimeter of the grease trap in the dishwasher area had a significant build-up of food debris. Additionally, a windowsill was found with dust, a dead bug, and a discarded potato chip. In a storage room adjacent to the main kitchen, a refrigerator and freezer holding resident food items lacked documented temperature monitoring. Furthermore, there were missing documented tray line food temperatures for several dates in March 2025. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the absence of temperature monitoring records for the refrigerator and freezer units.
