Riverside Landing: Kitchen Sanitation Failures - OH
That was one item on a longer list. During a 20-minute kitchen walkthrough, inspectors documented dried food splatters dripping down the outside of the free-standing oven in white, tan, yellow, and clear streaks, with the surface greasy enough to feel sticky to the touch. On the floor between the oven and the stove sat a plastic cap and a dried food spill roughly four inches across and a quarter-inch thick, its surface cracked open in the center.
The ice machine filter cover was dusty and sticky. On the counter beside it, eight bowls of dry cereal sat pre-filled with no labels or dates. Next to them, a lidded container held a yellow greasy substance. No label. No date.
The refrigerator connecting the kitchen and dining room, used to store resident food brought in by family and open condiments, had dried food drips in green, pink, and white on the outside doors and inside the freezer compartment. The refrigerator shelves were smeared with a white liquid that had been partially wiped up and left to dry. A ketchup bottle on the door shelf sat open and uncloseable, its plastic lid broken off and gone. Ten four-ounce dessert bowls of fruit on the bottom shelf had no labels or dates.
Inside the walk-in refrigerator, inspectors found an unlabeled gallon zip bag of white lunch meat, two unlabeled eight-quart containers of fruit with no dates, 13 small bowls of coleslaw with no labels or dates, and four glasses of red liquid, also unlabeled and undated. A bowl of red gelatin dated April 20 had no label identifying what it was or who it belonged to. In dry storage, a case of tomato juice cans sat on the floor. In the walk-in freezer, an unopened case of 180 hot dogs sat on the floor as well.
The dietary staff member present confirmed every finding on the spot.
All 35 residents at the facility were considered potentially affected.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. 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.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Professional review: All content reviewed by Christopher F. Nesbitt, Sr., NH EMT & BU-trained Paralegal.
