  Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary conditions were maintained when a Laundry Staff used a dirty laundry basket (a basket for holding clothes and linen that have been washed) to transfer washed linens into the dryer machine. This failure had the potential to cause harm to the 44 residents residing within the facility by increasing the risk of exposure and spread of infection (the process by which an infectious agent (like a virus or bacteria) moves from one source to another, causing illness).

• No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF804Apr 26, 2024

  Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to store food by methods that conserve nutritive value, flavor, and appearance, when four bags of raw chicken had freezer burn (frozen foods are exposed to cold, dry air, which causes them to dehydrate as the outer layers lose moisture. One of the most commonly recognized signs of freezer burn is the formation of ice crystals on the outside of food, making it appear frost bitten). This had the potential for the chicken to not be palatable when cooked and served to 40 of 41 medically compromised residents who received food from the kitchen. […]
