5505	PARK PLACE NURSING FACILITY	115005	1865 BOLD SPRINGS ROAD	MONROE	GA	30655	2015-02-05	372	C	0	1	ZUHN11	Based on observations and staff interviews the facility failed to maintain the condition of one (1) large compacting dumpster to ensure it was free from leakage and failed to properly cover the garbage in the dumpster to prevent the harborage of pests. Findings include: Observation on 02/02/15 at 11:00 a.m. of the dumpster area revealed that the facility had one (1) compacting dumpster sitting on a concrete pad. Continued observation of the dumpster revealed that the area to deposit garbage was open and ten (10) garbage bags were visible. Further observation revealed a large leak coming from under the front of the dumpster. A stream of pale white fluid ran forward to the front of the concrete pad and formed a pool. The pool of white fluid was eight (8) feet in length, 1 foot in width, and two (2) inches deep. Interview with the Dietary Manager (DM) on 02/02/15 at 11:00 a.m. revealed that she had never seen the area to deposit garbage closed and that garbage was constantly exposed. Continued interview revealed that she knew about the leak in the dumpster for two (2) weeks and admitted that the white fluid coming from the dumpster was milk and juices from the dietary department. The DM further revealed that dietary and housekeeping share responsibility for keeping the dumpster area clean. Interview with the Director of Maintenance on 02/02/15 at 11:05 a.m. revealed that the only time the area to deposit garbage in the dumpster is closed is when garbage is being compacted or at the end of the day. He revealed that at the end of the day the last individual discarding garbage compacts the garbage and leaves the compacting ram inside the main garbage storage area. Once the plunger is pushed in it covers the area that garbage is deposited. The Director of Maintenance confirmed that they have known about the leak coming from the dumpster for the past few weeks. He confirmed that the white liquid coming from the dumpster was milk and juices from the kitchen garbage. Observation on 02/03/15 at 3:45 p.m. of the compacting dumpster revealed that garbage bags were visible and no lid or door was covering the dumpster. Continued observation revealed that the dumpster was still leaking and had developed a new stream of fluid approximately three (3) feet in length and 1 inch in width that traveled across the side walk in front of the concrete pad from where the dumpster was located. Observation on 02/04/15 at 5:50 p.m. revealed that the area to deposit garbage in the dumpster was still open and the garbage bags were still visible.	2018-08-01
