The kitchen walk-in refrigerator had solid matter where floor and wall meet, undated dry goods, un-intact packaged frozen food observed in walk-in freezer and perishable food stored at room temperature. Resident refrigerators on first and second floor contained unlabeled and/or undated food, and soiled food carts were observed. These findings had the potential to affect all residents. Census: 58. a) The Kitchen Observations made on 02/06/17 and 02/08/17 found the following: --02/06/17 at 10:46 a.m. observed non securely packaged pancakes and chicken patties exposed to air inside walk-in freezer. --02/06/17 at 10:53 a.m. observed solid matter in areas of walk-in refrigerator where floor and wall meet. --02/06/17 at 12:44 p.m. observed single serve milk cartons set out at room temp for the duration of meal tray assembly. --02/06/17 at 12:49 Staff #94 states that once a week the refrigerator floor should be cleaned out and that it is a good idea to put the milk on ice if milk will be setting out for a while. --02/08/17 at 10:22 a.m. observed the following opened, undated food items stored on a shelf, bulk Italian seasoning, molasses, cream of wheat, 2 (two) cans of food thickener and 2 (two) jars of chicken base seasoning. The label on the jars of chicken base seasoning reads, refrigeration after opening is required. --02/08/17 at 10:30 a.m. interview with Staff #94 states that items need to be dated when opened and stored in the proper place. b) Observation of the resident's food pantry refrigerator During the tour of the facility at 10:30 a.m. on 2/6/17, observation of the resident's personal refrigerator, located in the medication administration room, on the 1st floor of the facility found 2 packs of sliced, soft, American, cheese. The cheese was not individually wrapped. One package was dated 1/29/17 with discard date of 2/5/16. The second package of cheese was dated 01/20/17 with a discard date of 01/27/17. The director of nursing (DON) was present during the tour. She identified the first date as the date the cheese was placed in the refrigerator and the second date as the date of discard. She said she would throw away the cheese. In addition, the cheese was wrapped loosely with cellophane wrapping which did not create a seal to ensure the cheese did not dry out. At 1:09 p.m. on 02/08/17, the dietary manager (DM) #94 said the cheese was good for 30 days. When asked for the facility policy, the DM presented a copy of a computer print out from a web cite-www.recipetips.com. The information on the print out noted: --Fresh cheese could be kept in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days, --Soft cheese could be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, and --Hard or semi-hard cheese could be kept for 2 to 3 weeks. --The web cite is not an approved food code from the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration's food code. A second policy entitled, Food and Supple Storage Procedures-continued, only noted to discard leftovers not utilized within 48 hours. c) Observation of the evening meal in the main dining room At 6:35 p.m. on 02/08/17, observation of the evening meal, with the DM, in the main dining room, found the open food cart, being used to serve clean trays, was dirty and covered with debris. The wheels and the legs of the cart were covered with food debris, lint, dust, and dirt. In addition, the racks on the cart, used to slide the trays in and out of the open cart were covered with dried debris. d) Nutrition Refrigerator on 2nd Floor An observation of the nutrition pantry refrigerator on 2nd floor was conducted during the initial tour of the facility on 02/06/17 at 10:30 a.m. The following sanitation issues were identified: one (1) open bottle of mayonnaise, one (1) 240 milliliter 2% milk, one half (1/2) gallon of buttermilk, block of sliced cheese, and a 16 ounce bottle of diet Pepsi all items were found opened and no date or resident name.
