Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that food was served in a palatable manner, as observed during a test tray evaluation. On 10/9/25 at 8:30 AM, a test tray was provided to the survey team, and while the scrambled eggs and bacon were at a palatable temperature, the cream cheese, milk, and apple juice were all served above the 41-degree Fahrenheit limit for cold foods, with temperatures recorded at 53.9 F, 52.8 F, and 49.6 F respectively. This deficiency was identified for one out of two test trays sampled and was communicated to the facility administrative team during the exit conference.
