The Manor: Food Safety Violations Found - VT
Federal inspectors touring the facility's kitchen on November 25 found rotting lettuce in the walk-in refrigerator alongside uncovered celery and raw chicken sitting in its own juices. Two large containers of Dannon yogurt had expired 11 days earlier. A container of pasta salad was one day past expiration.
The staff member confirmed that expired and rotting items should have been discarded and that refrigerated food should be covered. But when confronted with an open package of 14 hot dogs with no date label, the employee repackaged them with that day's date rather than disposing of them.
"I don't know how long items in the fridge should be in there for," the staff member told inspectors.
The kitchen violations extended beyond spoiled food. Debris coated the floor under the steam table and scattered across a cart holding breakfast cereals, with clean dishes stored directly underneath the mess. Six muffin containers sat unwashed on the supposedly clean dish rack.
A microwave used for food preparation hadn't been cleaned, with visible debris inside. The spatula container held crumbs and debris. A storage container marked for oats and fry mix was covered in dust.
Two fans in the dish room were "coated with dust and debris," according to the inspection report. A shelf holding cooking wine, vinegar, and sesame oil was sticky with an unidentified substance.
The facility's own food safety policy, dating to January 2000, requires all food to be "clearly labeled and dated when opened" and stored covered in refrigerated areas. It mandates that "expired or spoiled food must be discarded immediately."
The staff member acknowledged that floors should be cleaned nightly, confirming the widespread sanitary failures inspectors documented throughout the kitchen that serves all residents.

CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.

Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
