Unger Park Post Acute: Dishwasher Sanitation Failures - OH
Inspectors who visited on April 30 reviewed temperature logs going back to February and found the same problem meal after meal, week after week. The dishwasher's rinse cycle, which should reach at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize dishes, consistently fell short. Temperatures of 173, 174, 175, 176, 178, and 179 degrees appeared repeatedly in the logs across February, March, and April, none of them meeting the threshold.
The problem wasn't just low temperatures. Entries were missing entirely. The April log showed no rinse temperatures recorded for supper on five separate dates, no lunch temperature on April 9, and no temperatures at all for any meal on April 23. March had a gap at supper on the 24th.
A staff member identified in the report only as Employee 135 confirmed both findings during an interview on April 29. The logs had missing temperatures. The recorded temperatures were below the minimums for sanitizing. Nobody disputed it.
The facility's own sanitation policy, revised in November 2022, sets the rinse temperature requirement at 180 degrees. A separate kitchen infection control policy states that dishwashing must meet temperature and sanitation standards.
The inspection was triggered by a complaint, assigned complaint number 2645697. CMS rated the level of harm as minimal, with some residents affected.
What the logs don't show is how many meals were served on inadequately sanitized dishes before anyone noticed, or whether anyone would have noticed at all without the complaint.

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.
