Minnesota Masonic Home: Food Safety Violations - MN
Inspectors walked in at 9 a.m. on February 11. The pink matter ran along the caulking lines and across the baseboard tiles, covering roughly a quarter of the white-tiled walls. The water handle was coated in calcium-like deposits. A chrome fixture had rust-colored spots, and a rust stain marked the wall directly beneath it. Two long-handled plastic brushes lay on the shower floor, pink matter visible at the base of their bristles.
A nursing assistant told inspectors she had given a resident a shower at 8 that morning. Afterward, she cleaned the shower chair using one of those brushes. She confirmed she could see the pink matter on the walls and brushes.
The housekeeper said she cleaned the shower rooms every day, sometimes using bleach. But she hadn't cleaned this one the day before. She said she'd ask her supervisor for new brushes.
When inspectors returned the next morning, the walls had been cleaned, but pink matter remained on the tiles near the floor. The two contaminated brushes were leaning against the wall.
The infection preventionist nurse, called in to look at it, said she wasn't sure what the pink matter was. She removed the brushes and said they needed to be replaced. The administrator said the room should be clean and that the brushes were being replaced at that moment.
Nobody had identified what the substance was. Nobody had explained how long it had been there.
