Failure to Maintain Sanitary and Functional Dining Area Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a functional and sanitary environment in one of its dining areas, specifically the Sycamore Café. During observations, a non-operating ice and water dispenser was found on the counter, and the cabinet below it was missing a handle on the right door. The floor inside the cabinet was broken and crumbled in the center, with brownish stains running down the interior walls and broken flooring. A broken pipe was also present inside the cabinet. The Director of Maintenance, who had been employed for about four and a half months, was unaware of the damaged cabinet and identified the crumbled flooring as pressed wood. The Administrator acknowledged that the cabinet had been in this condition for some time and stated that repairs were planned but described them as a significant expenditure.
