Summary
The facility failed to properly contain and dispose of garbage in two of three outside dumpsters, as observed during a review of the outdoor trash receptacles. The lids or covers on dumpster one and two were not closed, and liquid from the dumpster area was found collecting in the disposal area. These conditions were confirmed by the Dietary Manager during the observation. The facility's policy requires the dumpster area to be clean, safe, and compliant with infection control and sanitation regulations, but these standards were not met in this instance.
