F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain essential equipment in the kitchen free of accumulation of dirt, food residue, and other debris, when on June 16, 2025, at 9 AM during the initial kitchen tour, the 4-burner stove, the flat top griddle, and the grill were found to be in unsanitary conditions.
