Summary

The facility failed to store food items in a safe and sanitary manner and did not maintain the kitchen and kitchenette environments in a sanitary condition. During an observation of the main kitchen, surveyors found a walk-in cooler containing a bag of lunch meat with no dates, asiago and provolone cheeses past their use-by dates, an opened bag of lettuce past its use-by date, a container labeled 'vegetable fresh prep' past its use-by date, cooked bacon past its use-by date, chicken salad and feta cheese both past their use-by dates. Another walk-in cooler contained a damaged, leaking milk carton contaminating adjacent cartons and the surrounding area. In the dry storage area, a hospitality cart held a snack bag of expired pretzels, and a storage rack with adaptive equipment had multiple clear plastic cups with handles that had a build-up of moisture, with staff unable to state how long the cups had been wet. In the dishwashing area, a black plastic corner floor shelf holding housekeeping items had an accumulation of debris underneath, including food items, a single-use butter container, and a drinking straw. The corner of the dishwashing room where a fan was attached had significant dried splash stains on the walls and ceiling, and the fan itself had a build-up of dust on its protective cover and blades. The floor near a drain under the ice machine contained various debris, including a plastic cup and a broken piece of a red plate. Additionally, in the second floor kitchenette, the resident refrigerator contained a sandwich with no dates or label. These findings were reviewed with facility leadership.
