Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to store and prepare food under sanitary conditions in the main kitchen. Specifically, large plastic containers used for flour, sugar, and thickening powder were found to contain the original paper packaging of these ingredients inside the plastic containers. This practice was noted during an inspection of the preparation area. During an interview, the Dietary Manager stated she was not aware of any reason why the original paper containers should not be stored inside the larger plastic containers. No information about residents or their medical conditions was provided in relation to this deficiency.
