Multiple items, identified by staff as belonging to staff members, were found on refrigerator shelves alongside food and beverages for residents. Some of the staff food and beverages had been partially consumed.e. Refrigerator on the deck of House 2 did not have a thermometer to ensure items were stored at appropriate temperatures. Staff 3 (Dietary Supervisor) reported in an interview that the refrigerator had been donated to the facility two days previously and a thermometer was being delivered in the next 1-2 days with the next supply delivery. A thermometer from another refrigerator was placed in this refrigerator during survey and Staff 3 was instructed to recheck in a few hours to ensure the refrigerator was at the appropriate temperature. Upon inspection of the freezer on top of this refrigerator unit, the foods were found to not be frozen, including a 3 gallon drum of ice cream. Staff 3 was instructed to throw away all items in the freezer.f. Care giving staff were not wearing aprons during meal service to create a clean barrier as a mechanism to prevent possible spread of infectious agents. g.

Staff 2 (Dietary Supervisor) was not aware that the health shakes were required to be stored frozen and that the use by date on the cartons was in the frozen state. Staff 2 was also unaware that the shakes were to be used within 14 days of thawing. Staff 2 was able to confirm those cartons were on that weeks shipment and that they would be used within the next seven days.
