Improper Storage and Disposal of Equipment and Refuse in Receiving Area

Spring House, Pennsylvania Survey Completed on 01-23-2026

Penalty

No penalty information released

The penalty, as released by CMS, applies to the entire inspection this citation is part of, covering all citations and f-tags issued, not just this specific f-tag. For the complete original report, please refer to the 'Details' section.

Summary

The facility failed to ensure that garbage and refuse were disposed of properly in the Food Service Department receiving area. During an initial tour of the department, surveyors observed a green dumpster with various pieces of equipment improperly stored behind it, including a hospital-style bedframe lying on the ground partially covered in snow, a stainless-steel counter-height ice machine, and a wheelchair with six leg rests piled on top of its armrests. The Food Service Director confirmed that the ice machine was no longer working, and the Administrator confirmed that this equipment did not belong in the receiving area. These observations demonstrated that the facility did not maintain proper disposal or storage of refuse and non-functioning equipment in the designated area. No residents or their medical conditions were mentioned in relation to this deficiency.
