In collaboration with The Seattle Times, Big Local News is providing full-text nursing home deficiencies from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

5965	PRINCETON CENTER	515028	1924 GLEN WOOD PARK ROAD	PRINCETON	WV	24740	2014-08-05	371	F	0	1	GK2611	Based on observations, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to store foods under sanitary conditions. During the initial tour of the kitchen, multiple food items were observed opened with no date to indicate when they were opened or when they should be discarded. As well, the dry food storage area contained opened food items which required refrigeration after opening. Additionally, during the initial tour of the nutrition pantry on the nursing unit, multiple food items were found unlabeled and undated. This practice had the potential to affect all residents who received nourishment from the dietary department. Facility Census: 64. Findings Include: a) During the initial tour of the kitchen, at 11:30 a.m. on 07/28/14, the following food items were observed stored in the walk-in cooler, the reach-in cooler and/or the dry goods storage area. Each of the food items was opened and partially used; however, they were not dated as to when they were opened or when they should be discarded. -- In the walk-in cooler was: egg salad, ham salad, chicken salad, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, Swiss cheese, bologna, ham, cheddar cheese cubes, light mayonnaise, balsamic vinaigrette, shredded lettuce, and shredded carrots. -- In the reach-in cooler was: a bottle of apple juice and grape juice. -- In the dry goods storage area was: a bag of coco mix and a bag of muffin mix. b) While touring the dry goods storage area, two (2) opened, partially used bottles of mustard were observed. The dates they were opened were 05/20/14 and 05/23/14. c) The Vice President of Dining Services was interviewed at 11:45 a.m. on 07/28/14. She stated all opened items were to have an open date so staff would be able to determine when the items should be discarded and no longer used. She stated the shelf life of the items, once opened, depended on what type of item it was. She indicated the meat, cheese, fresh vegetables, and juice should be discarded in seven (7) days. The mayonnaise and Balsamic vinaigrette would be discarded in 30 days. She confirmed the items were not labeled with an open date; therefore, a safe-to-use-by (discard date) could not be determined. She stated the mustard which was opened and stored in the dry storage area should have been stored in the coolers in the kitchen once they were opened, and should have been discarded in 30 days. She also confirmed each of the food items should not have been available for use. .d) An observation of the nursing unit nutrition pantry refrigerator was conducted during the initial tour of the facility on 07/28/14 11:30 a.m. The following sanitation issues were identified: 1. A plastic container containing a hamburger, with Resident #72's name on the outside of the container, had no date. 2. A restaurant bag containing hamburgers and a Cinnabon was unlabeled and undated. 3. An opened, undated, unlabeled bottle of natural spring water. 4. One (1) liter of diet Pepsi and two (2) liters of Schweppes ginger ale were found opened, unlabeled and undated. 5. One (1) liter of opened prune juice was unlabeled, and was dated 06/13/14. 6. A plastic container of chicken casserole, labeled for Resident #19, was undated. 7. A plastic bag containing chunks of cheddar cheese was unlabeled and undated. The director of quality improvement, Employee #96, was present during the observation of the nutrition pantry refrigerator. She confirmed the identified items were not appropriately labeled, dated or discarded in a timely manner. e) The facility's practice standards concerning labeling/ dating and discarding foods in the refrigerator was reviewed on 07/31/14 at 10:07 a.m. It indicated the refrigerator was for short-term storage, a maximum of seven (7) days. It also noted all foods were to be labeled and dated. According to the facility's practice standards, food that was not labeled was supposed to be discarded.	2018-05-01
