Summary

The facility failed to maintain mechanical and patient care-related equipment in safe operating condition when the self-closing device on the walk-in freezer door was not functioning as intended. During an observation conducted on 2/17/2026 at 11:00 AM, surveyors noted that the self-closing mechanism on the main entry door of the walk-in freezer was inoperable and did not pull the door closed to ensure a tight seal. In a subsequent interview on 2/17/2026 at 2:00 PM, the Food Service Director stated that an outside company had been at the facility several days earlier and had left several items, including this mechanism, in disrepair, and acknowledged the need to contact them to have the issue addressed. This deficiency was cited under 10 New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations 415.5(e)(1)(2), which requires that all mechanical, electrical, and patient care equipment be maintained in safe operating condition.
