Summary
During an environmental tour of the kitchen, surveyors observed that the lids to all three dumpsters located outside the kitchen were left open, with trash present on the ground around the dumpsters. These observations were made at two separate times on the same day, confirming that the issue persisted. Further interview with dietary staff confirmed that staff were expected to keep dumpster lids closed at all times. Review of the facility's policy indicated that dumpsters should be kept covered when not being loaded and that the surrounding area should remain clean to minimize debris and the attraction of insects or rodents.
