Federal inspectors visiting Robin Run Health Center on December 1 found a large metal tumbler with no name or date, a bagged styrofoam container of wilted salad marked only "mom" with no date, and a container of unidentified food that smelled putrid and was completely covered in mold. None of the spoiled items were labeled or dated.
A green memo taped to the refrigerator front stated "All food is to be labeled and dated before putting into the refrig/freezer," dated May 29, 2024.
Minutes later, inspectors watched Dietary Aide 11 place a tray carrying 12 properly dated and labeled resident snack bags onto the top shelf of the same refrigerator, next to a staff member's purple lunch bag.
The healthcare pantry revealed additional contamination issues. Double metal sinks were soiled with unidentified white substances, and the counter surface felt gritty and sticky. A microwave oven was soiled inside and out with food debris. Under the sink, staff stored a blue bucket, PVC pipe, an opened bottle of dandruff shampoo, and a box of bug killer.
Healthcare Unit Manager 12 told inspectors staff were supposed to keep personal food in the breakroom refrigerator. She admitted uncertainty about who was responsible for monitoring and cleaning the resident refrigerator, saying she would find out.
The manager later indicated kitchen staff were supposed to clean pantry refrigerators monthly, with supervisors monitoring between cleanings. Quarterly cleaning logs showed dietary staff had signed off on cleanings in January, April, July, and October.
The facility's refrigerator policy, dated December 2014, required supervisors to ensure food items weren't expired and mandated refrigerators be kept clean and sanitized on a scheduled basis.
