Based on observation and interview the facility failed to ensure the kitchenette on the G unit was
maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and in good repair to prevent contamination and/or food borne
illness. This had the potential to affect 30 residents (#3, #9, #10, #12, #22, #25, #30, #35, #37, #38, #39,
#40, #50, #67, #69, #70, #73, #76, #77, #78, #79, #80, #85, #88, #92, #94, #113, #114, #118 and #123) of
142 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include:
During a kitchen tour on 11/20/19 at 9:24 A.M. two kitchenette were observed on the G unit. The left side
which contained higher room numbers had a toaster with loose debris and water mark type stains, the
outside of the microwave had smears of food residue on the top and sides The counter tops in both
kitchenettes were stained with multiple round brown and red stains and the finish on the top of the counter
had worn away leaving an unclean surface.
In addition, a refrigerator with a broken off door handle that left behind sharp broken hard plastic was also
observed. The dish washing and storage area contained an ice machine with a clogged drain in the spill
reservoir leaving 1/4th of an inch of standing water beneath the ice shoot. There was a side by side freezer
which [NAME] #207 stated hadn't worked since June of 2018. The refrigerator on right side read 46
degrees on the outside thermometer, but, there wasn't a thermometer on the inside.
The above concerns were verified with State tested nursing assistant (STNA) #370, STNA #356 and
[NAME] #207 at the time of the observation.

thermometer inside the refrigerator and the outside thermometer again read 46 degrees. The refrigerator
was noted to be running loudly with a slight knocking noise. A pool of standing water was observed on the
bottom of the refrigerator with two cases of canned soda sitting in the standing water. [NAME] #210 verified
the temperature and standing water . He stated the refrigerator was defrosting and that was why it made
that loud rattling noise.
During an interview on 11/21/19 at 10:50 A.M. Dietary Manager (DM) #223 revealed he would check the
refrigerator to ensure a thermometer had been placed inside and to check on the standing water. At 11:12
P.M. DM #223 revealed he had placed a thermometer in the refrigerator and it had also read 46 degrees
indicating the supplements and perishable food inside were not stored at the proper temperature and had
been disposed of. He stated the refrigerator had malfunctioned.
The facility identified 30 residents, Resident #3, #9, #10, #12, #22, #25, #30, #35, #37, #38, #39, #40, #50,
