Summary
During an observation of the facility's walk-in freezer, surveyors found two bags of what appeared to be hash browns and two bags of what appeared to be French fries that were open and undated. The Dietary Manager confirmed during an interview that these items were not labeled or dated, which did not meet his expectations for food storage. The report notes that this practice failed to ensure food items were stored and served under sanitary conditions, as required by professional standards. The deficiency was identified as potentially affecting 76 residents listed on the facility's census at the time of the survey.
