Summary
The facility failed to properly maintain and dispose of kitchen garbage and refuse, as observed during two separate inspections. During a kitchen tour, three barrel-type trash cans were found without lids, and staff were only able to locate lids for two of them. Additionally, an inspection of the outside garbage bins revealed that two out of eight bins had their lids open, despite calm weather conditions. The Certified Dietary Manager was unable to provide a reason for the open lids at the time of observation. According to the facility's waste disposal policy, all garbage is to be disposed of daily and placed in sealed containers outside the premises.
