Summary
During a tour of the facility's outside dumpster area, surveyors observed that the dumpsters were not covered with their attached lids. Additionally, items such as an old mattress, a dresser, and a soda can were found next to the dumpsters. The Food Services Director confirmed that the expectation is for dumpsters to be covered with lids and acknowledged the surveyor's observation. These findings were reviewed with the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator and the Regional Clinical Nurse Consultant. No further information was provided by the facility at the time of exit. No residents or specific patient information was mentioned in relation to this deficiency.
