Summary
The facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards by not maintaining proper refrigerator temperatures in the Rehab pantry room. Specifically, the refrigerator was documented as having temperatures above 41 degrees Fahrenheit during several PM temperature checks, with no documentation of corrective action on multiple dates. Additionally, there was a missing AM temperature check documentation for one date. These findings were confirmed through observation, document review, and interviews with the DON and the facility Administrator.
