St. Joseph Manor: Food Safety Violations Found - TX
Inspectors cited the facility for two distinct failures. The first involved ready-to-eat food that had been removed from its original packaging but never marked with a date indicating when it needed to be consumed or thrown out. Without that label, there is no way to know how long the food has been sitting or whether it has already passed the point when it should have been discarded.
The second violation involved food left in open containers, without packaging, covers, or wrappings of any kind. Uncovered food in a commercial kitchen is vulnerable to contamination from other raw or ready-to-eat items stored nearby, from surfaces, and from anything else in the environment.
Both violations were classified as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and inspectors noted that some residents were affected.
The labeling rules exist because time and temperature are the two variables that determine whether a food is safe to eat. Once a container is opened, the clock starts. A facility that doesn't track that clock cannot know when food has become unsafe, and residents who depend entirely on staff to prepare and serve their meals have no way to protect themselves.
Inspectors found no evidence in this report that either problem had been corrected before the inspection was completed. The residents eating meals at St. Joseph Manor that week had no way of knowing whether the food on their plates had been properly stored or how long it had been sitting in an unlabeled, uncovered container in the kitchen.

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.
