Summary
The facility failed to maintain the dumpster area and refuse contents in a clean and sanitary condition, as required by its Nutritional Services policy. During an observation with the Assistant Director of Nursing, surveyors noted the presence of cardboard, multiple plastic bags with unknown contents, and several cardboard boxes on top of the dumpsters. Additionally, neither of the two dumpsters had a drain plug in place. The ADON confirmed during an interview that the dumpster area was not properly maintained. No information about residents or their medical conditions was included in the report.
