Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ms Care Center Of Raleigh during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to label and date prepared foods in the refrigerator and freezer, and a kitchen worker was observed preparing meal trays without a beard guard, violating the facility's policies on food storage and employee work practices. These actions were confirmed by the Dietary Manager and Registered Dietitian, highlighting deficiencies in food safety and infection control.
The facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment, as evidenced by excessive rust on ceiling grids in two resident rooms. The rust was particularly noticeable over beds near windows. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and action regarding the issue, with the Maintenance Director attributing the rust to aerosol disinfectants used during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Deficiencies in Food Safety and Infection Control
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its own policies regarding food storage and employee work practices, leading to deficiencies in food safety and infection control. During an inspection, it was observed that several food items in the refrigerator, including peas and carrots, beef burger patties, yeast rolls, mashed potatoes, beef fingers, cooked rice, and corn, were covered in aluminum foil without any labels indicating the preparation date, description, or use-by date. This was confirmed by the Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that the food items were not labeled as required by the facility's Food Storage Labeling policy. Additionally, a male kitchen worker was observed preparing meal trays for residents without wearing a beard guard, which is a violation of the facility's Employee Work Practices policy. The Registered Dietitian confirmed that all stored food should be labeled and that staff are required to wear hair restraints while in the kitchen. The Administrator reiterated the expectation for kitchen staff to follow facility policies to ensure food safety and prevent the spread of infection among residents.
Rust on Ceiling Grids in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for its residents, staff, and the public, as evidenced by the presence of excessive rust on the ceiling grids in two of the nine resident rooms observed on the North Hall. The rust was particularly noticeable over the beds near the windows in these rooms. This deficiency was identified during an observation conducted on September 12, 2024, at 11:15 AM. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and action regarding the rust issue. A housekeeper, who had been working on the North Hall for about a month, confirmed the presence of rust but had not noticed it before. The Maintenance Director acknowledged the rust and speculated that it might have been caused by the use of aerosol disinfecting products during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he admitted that he had not yet addressed the issue. The Administrator was also unaware of the rusted ceiling grids but confirmed the use of aerosol disinfectants during the pandemic.
