The findings included: Observations on 4/30/12 at approximately 10:30am revealed lids off the trash cans in the dishroom, which was not being used at the time. Lids off the trash cans by both coolers. In the freezer were open boxes of breaded meat, chicken, and ravioli. There was a bin containing an open bag of flour with no lid. Under a prep table there was a bin containing an open bag of rice with no lid and a bin with an open bag of flour with no lid. The hand sink by the trayline had no trash can with a foot pedal available. Under the raw meat prep table was a drain where there were no tiles for approximately 8 inches around the drain exposing a porous surface and impeding free flow of liquids to the drain. Observations on 5/1/12 at approximately 11:50am revealed that the above findings continued to be in existence with the addition of an observation of staff washing their hands at the hand sink and having to open the lid of a trash can with their clean hands to dispose of used paper towels. Observations on 5/2/12 at approximately 10:00am with the Food Service Director and the Registered Dietitian revealed that the above findings continued to exist. Interviews with the Food Service Director and the Registered Dietitian confirmed that the trash can should be covered at all times, food in bins should not be stored in open bags and the bins should be covered, the food in the freezer should be tightly covered, there should be a trash can with a foot pedal at the hand sink, and the surface area around the drain should be of a non porous surface to allow free flow of liquids into the drain. Observations of the Gaston Nourishment refrigerator on 4/30/12, at approximately 12:05pm and again at 2:00pm and 4:15pm revealed 2 honey thick [MEDICATION NAME] containers with an expiration date of 3/13/12 in a crisper drawer.
