Summary

Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain the walk-in freezer in proper working order, as evidenced by repeated findings of an internal temperature of 9°F and soft, not fully frozen, ice cream during multiple visits. The freezer door did not seal properly, with a visible gap allowing cold air to escape. The Dietary Manager acknowledged awareness of the door issue but did not consider it a concern since meat remained frozen, and stated that a new freezer was needed. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed knowledge of the faulty freezer door but had not initiated replacement prior to the survey. These findings were supported by reference to the 2013 FDA Food Code, which requires frozen foods to be maintained in a frozen state and equipment to be kept in proper repair.
