Failure to Maintain Essential Dietary Equipment

Penalty

Summary

Essential equipment in the food and nutrition services department, specifically the industrial-sized ice machine located in the main kitchen, was not maintained in safe operating condition. Observations confirmed that the ice machine was not functioning, and interviews with the maintenance director and the director of dietary services revealed that the equipment had been out of service since January 2025. Despite a work order being placed at that time, the ice machine remained non-operational for several months, forcing dietary staff to use an ice machine on the second floor nursing unit or to have ice delivered in bags from an outside vendor. A review of purchase order requisitions showed that a request for a new ice machine was only made in May 2025, and there was no confirmed delivery date for the replacement equipment.
