Summary
The facility failed to properly store garbage in accordance with its own policies and the USDA Food Code. During an observation with the Maintenance Director, two out of three outdoor garbage dumpsters were found to be overfilled, preventing the lids from fully closing. Additionally, trash items such as used gloves, paper, masks, corn, and condiment packets were scattered around the dumpsters. The Maintenance Director acknowledged that the lids could not close due to the excess trash inside. These findings were confirmed in interviews with the DON, Administrator, and DSS, who acknowledged the situation. No information about specific residents or their medical conditions was provided in relation to this deficiency.
