Three Rivers Health: Catheter Care Violations - NC
Inspectors visited Three Rivers Health and Rehabilitation Center on January 28, 2026, and found the kitchen in a condition the dietary manager later acknowledged had not been properly addressed. She said she had not gone behind staff frequently enough to verify cleaning tasks were actually done. When she assigned something, she expected it to get completed. Sometimes she was the cook herself during a shift and could not see everything.
The cleaning log for January 1 through January 11 could not be found at all. The dietary manager said the log was supposed to be posted weekly starting in December 2025 but did not happen because of holiday events.
The deep fryer had been broken from January 4 until sometime around January 20 or 21, running at the wrong temperature. It was last cleaned on January 16. Staff used it anyway on January 23, and again on January 27.
The evening cook, interviewed on January 29, said the cleaning checklist was only meant for deep cleaning, not routine cleanup. Some staff dated their entries on the log. Some did not. When the day shift missed something, the evening shift was expected to pick up the slack. He could not always finish cleaning during the first shift because there were two meals to prepare.
The dietary manager said training had been conducted monthly during staff huddles but had not been documented before January 22, 2026. She planned to start documenting going forward. The last training session, on January 22, covered hand hygiene, food contamination, and single-use gloves.
The administrator, interviewed on January 30, said the cleaning schedules should be followed.
The dietary manager said all the issues observed on January 28 were cleaned later that same day. The person who cleaned them was called in before his shift was supposed to start.
