Summary
The facility failed to properly contain and dispose of kitchen waste in accordance with its own policy and state laws. On the morning of 08/20/25, surveyors observed that all facility dumpsters were overflowing, with lids unable to close and soiled gloves, bags, and miscellaneous trash scattered around all sides of the dumpsters. The Administrator confirmed these observations when notified. Review of the facility's policy titled 'Food-Related Garbage and Refuse Disposal' revealed that outside dumpsters are required to be kept closed and free of surrounding litter, which was not adhered to during the survey.
