Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to store and serve food under sanitary conditions by not ensuring that food items in the walk-in freezer were properly labeled and dated. Specifically, during an inspection, one open bag each of frozen broccoli, frozen pizza, and frozen bacon were found in the freezer without any labels or dates. During an interview, a dietary aide confirmed that these items were not labeled or dated and acknowledged that this did not meet her expectations, stating that all items in the fridge and freezer should be labeled and dated. This deficiency was identified as likely to affect 83 residents listed on the facility's census at the time of the survey.
