10648 POWDER SPRINGS NURSING & REHAB CENTER 115538 3460 POWDER SPRINGS ROAD POWDER SPRINGS GA 30127 2009-06-17 371 F     5ICH11 Based on observation, record review and staff interview the facility failed to store and prepare food under sanitary conditions for all residents consuming food (total = 187). The findings include: Observation of the kitchen on 6/15/09 at 10:00 a.m. revealed: The microwave was soiled inside with food particles on all sides, particularly the top and bottom. A pan of pureed bread was sitting on top of the stove ledge. The Food Service Director (FSD) confirmed it was for the lunch meal and should be refrigerated or held at 135 degrees Fahrenheit (F). In the dishmachine area the tile floor was wet and soapy. The FSD stated staff washed the floor a few times each day and used a hose with a sprayer attachment. Observation revealed the water from the floor was being sprayed onto clean dished that were stacked on carts. The can opener in the food preparation area had a thick, dark gummy substance built up on the blade. The microwave in the dining room was dirty on all six (6) sides. Observation on 6/16/09 at 7:05 a.m. revealed: Three (3) items in the cooler did not register a temperature of 41 degrees F or less. The facility thermometer was calibrated twice to ensure accuracy. Pork chops were 47 degrees, black eyed peas were 49 and buttermilk was 48 degrees F. These items were in the cooler over eighteen (18) hours. The tile floor throughout the kitchen needed repair including grout cleaning and replacement. Interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director on 6/17/09 at 9:00 a.m. revealed they were aware of the tile problems but did not have a specific plan for repairs at this time. Review of the Daily Cleaning Assignments for kitchen staff provided by the facility and signed by staff for 5/11/09 to 6/07/09 revealed cleaning the microwave was not listed under any assignments. 2014-01-01
