Summary
Surveyors observed multiple failures to follow sanitary dietary standards in the facility's kitchen and kitchenettes. Dietary staff were seen working without hairnets, and several food items in the walk-in refrigerator, including hot dogs, hamburgers, cut-up watermelon, lettuce, and corn salad, were found covered but not labeled or dated. In the walk-in freezer, French-fried potatoes were stored in an unlabeled and undated canister. The top of the convection oven was dirty and cluttered with black gloves and dirty pan cover sheets, and a white plastic bucket was placed on the floor to catch dirty water from a broken pipe above the oven. The facility was unable to provide a policy for foodborne illness or food storage when requested.
