Summary
During an observation of the nourishment room on C Hall, surveyors found two unlabeled and undated plastic bags containing unknown food items in the freezer, as well as an unlabeled and undated cloth lunch box with an unknown food item in the refrigerator drawer. The Dietary Manager confirmed during an interview that these food items should have been labeled and dated. Review of the facility's policy indicated that all prepared food brought in by family or visitors must be labeled with content and date to ensure resident safety. The failure to label and date these food items was not in accordance with the facility's policy and professional standards for food storage.
