Parkhouse Rehab: Environment Safety Violations - PA

Healthcare Facility
Parkhouse Rehabilitation And Nursing Center
Royersford, PA  ·  2/5 stars

A January 30 complaint inspection found the pantry serving eighth-floor residents coated in grime at nearly every surface. A coffee carafe sitting on the counter had dried coffee caked at the bottom. The ice bucket and ice scoop were water-stained. The coffee machine and ice machine had rust on them. The ice machine also had calcium buildup, as did the sink fixtures and the inside of the sink itself.

When inspectors presented the findings to the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing that afternoon, the administrator said cleaning the pantry was the shared responsibility of dietary staff and housekeeping staff. She said she would investigate.

The violation was cited under the federal standard requiring facilities to store food in a clean, sanitary environment. Inspectors classified the harm level as minimal, and noted the conditions affected a small number of residents, limited to that one floor. Two other floors inspected during the same visit did not have the same problems.

What the inspection does not answer is how long the rust had been there, how long the stains had been there, or why two separate departments sharing responsibility for the same space had left it in that condition long enough for calcium to build up on the fixtures and coffee to dry solid in the carafe.

The administrator's answer, that she would look into it, left that question open.
