Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to store food in a sanitary manner during kitchen inspections. In the dry storage area, a bag of noodles and a bag of marshmallows were found without open dates. In the reach-in refrigerator, multiple containers of juices and fluids were present without labels, preparation dates, or use-by dates. The Dietary Manager confirmed during an interview that containers should be labeled with preparation and use-by dates. The facility's food storage policy, provided by the Director of Nursing, also requires all food items to be labeled with the name of the food and the date it should be consumed by.
