Summary
The facility failed to properly contain and dispose of garbage at both observed dumpsters located outside the kitchen dock entrance. During an observation with the dietary manager, discarded medical gloves, debris, paper products, and a washcloth were found around the dumpsters. Additionally, a discarded plastic apple sauce container and unidentified debris were observed between the lids on top of one dumpster. These findings were confirmed during a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing.
