Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to dispose of garbage and refuse properly for 2 of 2 waste receptacles reviewed for garbage disposal.
Residents Affected - Some
-Both dumpster's contained waste; Dumpster #1 had its top front lids missing; and Dumpster #2 had one front top lid missing and the other front top lid was open. These failures could place residents at risk for exposure to germs and diseases carried by vermin and rodents.
Findings Included: Observation on 06/20/2023 at 9 a.m. accompanied by the Dietary Manager revealed both dumpster's contained waste. Dumpster #1's front top lids were missing, and Dumpster #2's front top lid was open, and the front top right lid was missing. Observation on 06/22/2023 at 5:35 p.m. accompanied by the Administrator revealed no waste in either dumpster. Dumpster #1's front top lids were missing and Dumpster #2's front top right lid was missing. In an interview on 6/22/2023 at 4 p.m., the Administrator said the facility did not have a Food-Related Garbage and Refuse Disposal Policy. In an interview on 06/22/2023 at 5:10 p.m. the Dietary Manager said she did not think the facility had a policy regarding the dumpster and trash disposal but that the doors should have been closed. She said the risk to residents is bugs and rodents could get into the trash. She said the worst thing that can happen to the resident when proper protocols are not practiced was residents could get sick. In an interview on 06/22/2023 at 5:16 p.m., the Administrator said the policy or procedure for disposing of trash was to lift the lid and throw the trash toward the back if there was space and close the lid if it was able to be closed. She said she had contacted the trash company 8 months ago when they asked for the 2nd dumpster and requested new dumpster's then and she requested new dumpster's again 3 months ago, but they refused to provide her with new ones. She said the company they use is the only one that services this area and cannot find another in the rural area. She said the requests for new dumpster's was over the phone. She said the risk to residents was if left in the facility, infection, rodents, but the dumpster's were too far from the facility it didn't pose a risk to the residents. She said the worst thing that could happen to resident when proper protocols are not practiced was, again if waste was not taken out of the facility then it could result in residents getting infections.
