Missing Annual Kitchen Equipment Inspection Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain required documentation for the inspection of kitchen cooking equipment. During a document review and interview with the Assistant Administrator, it was found that records of annual kitchen appliance inspections were missing. The Assistant Administrator confirmed that the documentation for these inspections was not available at the time of the survey. This deficiency affected one of two smoke compartments and involved 24 of 51 residents. The lack of inspection records was specifically related to the maintenance of fuel-fired kitchen cooking equipment, as required by NFPA 101 and NFPA 96 standards. No additional information about the medical history or condition of the residents involved was provided in the report.
