Summary
Facility staff failed to employ food and nutrition service staff with appropriate competencies when the kitchen food service manager did not possess a valid certified food protection manager identification card issued by the DC Department of Health. During the initial kitchen survey conducted on 03/02/2026 at approximately 11:15 AM, surveyors observed that the food service manager lacked this required certification. In a face-to-face interview at the same time, the food service manager and the facility nutritionist both acknowledged that the food service manager did not have a valid certified food protection manager identification card.
