Summary
The facility failed to properly dispose of garbage and refuse as required by both the USDA Food Code and its own policies and procedures. During an observation, the outside dumpster was found overflowing with trash, which prevented the lid from fully closing. The Maintenance Supervisor confirmed that the dumpster is collected six times a week, except Sundays, and acknowledged that the dumpster should remain fully closed at all times. Both the Administrator and DON were informed of and acknowledged these findings during interviews. No information about specific residents or their medical conditions was provided in relation to this deficiency.
