Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain proper sanitation and food safety practices in the kitchen. Specifically, the water in the washing compartment of the three-compartment sink did not reach the required temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit as indicated by the manufacturer's signage. Additionally, loose rice and beans were found underneath the storage racks in the dry storage area, and a grasshopper was observed in the same area. These findings were based on direct observation and staff interviews conducted during the survey. All 15 residents admitted to the facility and receiving care could be affected by these deficiencies, as they pertain to the preparation and storage of food served to residents.
