Overview

Cumberland Pointe Health Campus has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and sits in the middle of the pack for nursing homes. It ranks #234 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, but it is only #8 out of 11 in Tippecanoe County, indicating there are better local options. Unfortunately, the facility is showing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 8 in 2024 to 9 in 2025. Staffing is a concern here, with a 3 out of 5 star rating and a 64% turnover rate, which is higher than the state average, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent care. On a positive note, there have been no fines issued, and the facility offers more RN coverage than 93% of Indiana facilities, which is beneficial for resident safety. However, there are significant weaknesses reflected in the recent inspector findings. One serious incident involved a resident who fell and sustained serious injuries, including a broken hip, due to a failure to ensure their safety during care. Additionally, there were concerns about food safety practices in the kitchen, such as improperly covered frozen food and a staff drink being stored in the refrigerator with resident food. These factors highlight the need for improvement in both care and operational standards at Cumberland Pointe Health Campus.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was kept safe during care and was evaluated for assistive devices to prevent an accident for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for accidents. (Resident 19) This deficient practice resulted in a right femoral neck fracture, a left scalp laceration, and a hematoma of the frontal scalp for Resident 19. Findings include: During an interview, on 6/12/25 at 3:40 p.m., Resident 19's daughter indicated she was the resident's Power of Attorney (POA) and was never called by the facility to inform her the resident had fallen. She heard about the fall from a Home Health Aide (HHA 6) she had hired for extra help to make sure the resident received all the care he needed. Resident 19's bed was up at waist level, and the resident was on his side when he fell off the bed and was found face down. This happened on a Sunday, and the facility did not call her. She found out from HHA 6. The resident was sent to the hospital and had surgery for his broken hip. He had a busted lip, hematoma on his forehead, multiple bruises and skin tears to both knees. She had been concerned something like this would happen. Resident 19 was on track to go home with her and only had a few days left before discharge. She had asked multiple times for a bed rail to be installed, and they were never put on. The clinical record for Resident 19 was reviewed on 6/11/25 at 1:33 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, congestive heart failure, dementia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. A facility admission observation and data collection form, dated 4/24/25 at 2:46 p.m., indicated the resident's mode of transfer was a wheelchair and a mechanical lift. Resident 19's ability to change and control body position was very limited. The resident could make occasional slight changes in his body or the position of his extremities but was unable to make frequent or significant changes independently. A facility functional abilities assessment form, dated 4/24/25 at 3:33 p.m., indicated the resident's mobility to roll left and right was substantial/maximal assistance. A care plan, dated 4/24/25, indicated Resident 19 was a fall risk. The approaches included, but were not limited to, the resident would remain free of falls with major injury, encourage the resident to assume a standing position slowly, keep the call light, personal items and frequently used items within reach, and assist the resident with transfers as needed. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 4/29/25, indicated the resident's range of motion had no impairment in the upper or lower extremity and Resident 19 was cognitively intact. A facility reported incident, dated 6/9/25 at 1:01 p.m., indicated the resident had an unwitnessed fall in his room. The resident received a subcapital fracture of his right femoral neck with superior subluxation of the femoral shaft (a break at the junction of the femoral head and neck, with the upper portion of the thigh bone shifted upward and out of alignment). The resident was assessed and complained of pain in his head and was sent to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment. The resident also had a bruise, a laceration to his forehead, and bilateral skin tears to his knees. A hospital assessment, dated 6/8/25 at 11:11 a.m., indicated the resident had a right femoral neck fracture, a left scalp laceration, and a hematoma of the frontal scalp. A facility witness statement, dated 6/9/25, indicated CNA 3 assisted the resident with incontinence care. The resident was on his left side and had his right arm out holding onto the trapeze bar. CNA 3 indicated Resident 19 was usually able to hold himself after being rolled over onto his side. Resident 19 needed extensive assistance to roll from side to side. An Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) progress note, dated 6/11/25 at 8:00 a.m., indicated the nurse was called to Resident 19's room. CNA 3 was changing the resident, and the resident fell on the floor. The resident's bed was elevated, and the trapeze was on the left side of bed. Upon entering the room, Resident 19's face was bleeding. The resident had pain in his head, had a laceration on the right side of his forehead, and bilateral skin tears to his knees. During an interview, on 6/16/25 at 10:46 a.m., CNA 3 indicated she had rolled Resident 19 onto his right side for incontinence care and the resident rolled off the bed. Resident 19 had a trapeze bar which he would use his right hand to press against the bar, he did not grab or hold the bar, he would push against the bar while receiving incontinent care. CNA 3 was changing him, and he just leaned forward and fell on the floor. RN 3 heard him fall, ran to the room, and applied pressure to his bleeding head. The resident had a large cut on the right forehead and a bump on the left side. The resident had indicated his hip and head hurt. During an interview, on 6/16/25 at 10:50 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the resident was in the facility while the daughter was preparing her house for the resident to live with her. HHA 6 was not in the room when the resident fell. HHA 6 was there for companionship only and was not allowed to help with any type of care. HHA 6 was going to be at the resident's home and was there to get to know the resident better. During an interview, on 6/16/25 at 2:10 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated she did not complete a bed rail assessment for Resident 19. She used her nursing judgement, and the resident was not appropriate for bed rails. There were no bed rail assessments documented in the resident's clinical record. During an interview, on 6/16/25 at 2:34 p.m., RN 3 indicated CNA 3 came down the hall and indicated she needed help. RN 3 went inside the room and saw Resident 19 face down. CNA 3 applied pressure to his head and RN 3 called the physician. RN 3 indicated he called the daughter, and she did not answer. During an interview, on 6/16/25 at 3:10 p.m., the Physical Therapist Director indicated the occupational therapist had assessed the resident for the trapeze. The occupational therapist indicated Resident 19 was able to utilize the trapeze to adjust himself in bed. The trapeze was not for turning in the bed and was used for pulling and self-adjustment. During an interview, on 6/17/25 at 12:02 p.m., Resident 19's daughter indicated she had requested bed rails to be placed on the resident's bed three separate times. The first time was in the care plan meeting with the DON, Executive Director, Physical Therapy, and Social Services. She had requested two more times after the care plan meeting to the nurses for bed rails to be installed. The nurse had indicated the order was put in and the rails would be installed by the next day, and they were never installed. During an interview, on 6/17/25 at 6:58 p.m., Resident 19 indicated he was in a lot of pain from the fall and broken hip. CNA 3 had dropped him on the floor. He had asked from day one for bed rails. He did not want to roll off the bed and would have felt safer with bed rails. When he landed on the floor, he broke his hip and bumped his head on the metal part of the trapeze legs. CNA 3 had made HHA 6 leave the room while she provided care for him. CNA 3 pushed the resident over onto his left side hard and he was at the very edge of the bed. He dropped hard on the floor, was in a lot of pain, and was bleeding from his head. He felt CNA 3 had pushed him too hard and he was too close to the edge of the bed. He had nothing to brace himself on and he rolled right off the bed. A current facility policy, titled Fall Management Program Guidelines, dated 12/17/24 and received by the DON on 6/16/25 at 11:59 a.m., indicated .The fall risk assessment is included as part of the admission and Quarterly Nursing Observation and other Events/Observation in EHR .Identified risk factors should be evaluated for the contribution they may have to the resident's likelihood of falling .Care plan interventions should be implemented that address the resident's risk factors .Should the resident experience a fall the attending nurse shall complete an Occurrence note.

(Resident 101) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident 101 was reviewed on 6/11/25 at 9:59 a.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, immunodeficiency, benign neoplasm of meninges (non-cancerous tumor) and osteonecrosis (the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply). A physician's order, dated 6/6/25 and discontinued 6/10/25, indicated to give ceftriaxone (an antibiotic) reconstitute solution 2 grams via IV daily. The only physician's order related to the IV was for the antibiotic. There were no physician's orders for the care and use of the pumps, tubing, syringes, or flushes. The Electronic Health Record did not have documentation of IV site assessments, normal saline flushes, Heparin lock flushes, monitoring for side effects, or PICC dressing changes until 6/9/25. A care plan, dated 6/8/25, indicated the resident required IV medication. The approaches included, but were not limited to, assessing the IV for complications every shift and as needed, IV site care as ordered, and observe the IV site for swelling, redness, tenderness, and warmth. During an interview, on 6/11/25 at 11:42 a.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) indicated residents with intravenous antibiotics should have orders to flush and access the IV site. There were standard orders which should have been placed when the resident was admitted . She did not know if the IV was flushed or assessed before the orders were placed. The nurse on weekend should have called the physician and obtained orders. During an interview, on 6/11/25 at 11:55 a.m., the ADON indicated the nurse should have flushed the IV with 5 milliliters of normal saline before and after the medication administration.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a cognitively impaired resident had the same bed as other residents to prevent the bed frame from being on the floor for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for dignity. (Resident 59) Finding includes: During an observation, on 2/27/23 at 3:48 p.m., Resident 59 was lying in bed. His bed was in such a low position the bed frame was almost touching the floor and the resident appeared to be lying on a mattress on the floor. The record for Resident 59 was reviewed on 3/1/23 at 5:17 p.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, chronic kidney disease stage 3, Alzheimer's disease, age related physical debility and a history of pulmonary embolism. A care plan, dated 2/8/23 and last revised on 2/21/23, indicated the resident was at a risk for falling related to weakness and confusion. The approaches included, but were not limited to, the bed in the lowest position with a mat on the floor. During an observation, on 3/2/23 at 11:28 a.m., the resident was lying in bed in his room. The bed was almost touching the floor and a mat was next to the bedside. During an interview, on 3/2/23 at 11:33 a.m., RN 4 indicated the resident had rolled out of bed and the bed was in the lowest position so if he rolled out of bed he would not get hurt. The lowest position meant to put the bed as low to the floor as it would go. RN 4 did not know if the resident could stand from the lowest position of the bed which was almost to the floor. During an observation, on 3/2/23 at 2:33 p.m., the resident was lying in bed in his room and his eyes were closed. The bed appeared like it was on the floor. During an observation, on 3/3/23 at 2:28 p.m., with the Executive Director (ED) and Clinical Support Nurse, the resident's bed was so low it appeared it was on the floor. The ED indicated the intervention for the bed in the low position was not to put the bed frame directly on the floor. During an interview, on 3/3/23 at 2:32 p.m., LPN 8 indicated the resident's bed was very low to the ground. LPN 8 thought the bed was a facility bed. During an interview, on 3/3/23 at 3:35 p.m., the ED indicated the bed was an old facility bed and the Director of Plant Operations had taken the bed out of storage to use since the facility had a full census. During an interview, on 3/3/23 at 3:40 p.m., the Director of Plant Operations indicated the bed was pulled from storage and they tried not to have residents use the bed although they had to use it due to the facility census. During an interview, on 3/6/23 at 4:32 p.m., the Director of Plant Operations indicated the bed Resident 59 was lying in was a [NAME] bed. There were probably only two of those beds left in the facility. The bed would raise all the way up and drop low to the floor. The bed frame would sit on the floor. The other beds in the facility would not go as far down to the floor. A current policy, titled Resident Rights Guidelines, dated as reviewed on 12/31/22 and received from the Clinical Support Nurse on 3/6/23 at 12:08 p.m., indicated .To ensure resident rights are respected and protected and provide an environment in which they can be exercised .Residents shall not leave their individual personalities or basic human right behind when they move to a health campus. The following is a list of rights recognized by staff at Trilogy Health Services .Our residents have a right to .Be treated with dignity and respect . 3.1-3(t)

(Resident 42 and 51) Findings include: 1. The record for Resident 42 was reviewed on 3/1/23 at 3:12 p.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behavioral disturbance, psychotic disorder with delusions due to a known physiological condition, depression, and anxiety disorder. A physician's order, dated 6/29/22, indicated to give risperidone (an antipsychotic) 0.25 mg (milligram) twice a day for the psychotic disorder with delusions due to a known physiological condition. During an interview, on 3/2/23 at 4:17 p.m., the Clinical Support Nurse indicated the resident's medications were reviewed during the Resident First Meeting. The Resident First Meeting notes did not include exactly what was reviewed during the meeting or if risks and benefits of the risperidone were reviewed. During an interview, on 3/6/23 at 4:05 p.m., the Social Services Director (SSD) indicated she had not completed teaching or documentation of discussing high risk medication risks versus benefits with any residents/representatives. She was not aware she needed to discuss the risks and benefits and document the information. The Nursing Drug Handbook 2023 indicated risperidone had a black box alert which included there was an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis, mainly due to pneumonia and heart failure. The side effects included, but were not limited to, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, headache, aggressive behavior, and orthostatic hypotension. The adverse effects included, but were not limited to, tardive dyskinesia [characterized by tongue protruding, puffing of the cheeks, chewing, or puckering of mouth], muscle rigidity, altered mental status, irregular pulse or blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, acute renal failure, hyperglycemia, and death.

2. During an observation, on 03/01/23 at 11:46 a.m., the resident was resting in the bed, on her right side, with the head of the bed elevated slightly. Her daughter was visiting in the room with an activity staff member. The resident had her eyes closed. The resident was not grimacing or restless. During an observation, on 03/01/23 at 4:05 p.m., the resident was resting in the bed, on her right side, with the head of the bed slightly elevated. The resident had her eyes closed. No restlessness or movement was observed. During an observation, on 03/02/23 at 11:01 a.m., the resident was resting comfortably in bed with a low air loss mattress in place. She was lying on her right side and her eyes were closed. The record for Resident 51 was reviewed on 03/01/23 at 11:50 a.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia with behavioral disturbance, delirium due to known physiological condition, hallucinations, and cerebellar stroke syndrome. A physician's order, dated 12/1/22, indicated lorazepam (an antianxiety medication) 0.5 milligrams at bedtime. A physician's order, dated 1/23/23, indicated Depakote sprinkles (a mood stabilizer) 250 milligrams three times daily. A physician's order, dated 1/23/23 indicated Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication) 25 milligrams three times daily. A physician's order, dated 2/27/23, indicated lorazepam 0.5 milligrams every four hours as needed. A Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 1/1/23 to 1/31/23, indicated the target behavior was complaints of not falling asleep or staying asleep. There were no behaviors documented for these dates. A MAR, dated 1/1/23 to 1/31/23, indicated the target behavior was yelling, screaming, and disrupting the environment. There were three behaviors during these dates and were easily altered. A MAR, dated 2/1/23 to 2/28/23, indicated the target behavior was complaints of not falling asleep or staying asleep. There were no behaviors documented for these dates. A MAR, dated 2/1/23 to 2/28/23, indicated the target behaviors was hallucinations. There was one episode noted and was easily redirected between the dates of 2/1/23 to 2/16/23. A MAR, dated 2/1/23 to 2/28/23, indicated a new order dated 2/16/23 for the target behavior the resident demonstrated combative behavior with care as well as yelling at staff. No behaviors were documented from 2/16/23 to 2/28/23. A MAR, dated 2/1/23 to 2/28/23, indicated a new order dated 2/16/23 for the target behavior of yelling/screaming and disrupting the environment. There were three episodes which were easily directed between 2/16/23 to 2/28/23. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 6/21/22, indicated the resident received a rather extensive psycho active regimen of trazadone 50 milligrams for insomnia and Seroquel 25 milligrams twice daily for hallucinations. She was due for a dose reduction trial of the two agents. Review of the nurse's documentation on the behavior logs found no reports or observations of insomnia, however occasional hallucinations were reported. The recommendation was to decrease the trazadone to 25 milligrams at bedtime. A note on the recommendation, dated 7/26/22 at 9:44 a.m., indicated the interdisciplinary team reviewed the resident's medications trazadone and Seroquel. The interdisciplinary team agreed after talking with the nurse practitioner to decrease the trazadone to 25 milligrams. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 9/29/22, indicated the resident received hospice services with protocol order for as needed lorazepam. CMS required a specified stop date regardless of the resident's hospice status. The recommendation was to add a stop date of 14 days and re-evaluate. The response from the physician was the medication was only as needed and needed to be available when needed and the common sense stop date would be death. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 2/24/23, indicated the resident was receiving the following psychotropic medications which were due for gradual dose reduction evaluation: Depakote 250 mg three times daily. The dose of the medication had been in place since 7/2022, and a review of the resident's chart did not reflect worsening behaviors. To reach the minimal effective dose, please consider a trial dose reduction of Depakote 250 milligrams every morning, 125 milligrams at noon, and 250 milligrams at bedtime. If the medications were to continue as written to document the risk versus benefits were considered. During an interview, dated 03/02/23 at 11:04 a.m., Registered Nurse 5 indicated the resident would occasionally talk non-sensical, but rarely. She did not always take her meds due to sleeping. She had behaviors of yelling out in the past. They have not changed the antipsychotic medications. During an interview, on 03/06/23 at 4:21 p.m., the Social Service Director indicated the gradual dose reduction recommendation from the pharmacy, dated 2/24/23, was not answered at this time. The physician was not good at responding to the gradual dose reduction recommendations. She tried to get the nurse practitioner involved when the physician did not respond. She was aware of the few behaviors documented. A recent publication of PDR.net indicated .Seroquel was used in adults for the treatment of schizophrenia, mania associated with bipolar 1 disorder, bipolar depression, maintenance of bipolar one disorder .antipsychotics were not approved for treatment of dementia-related psychosis in geriatric patients and the use of quetiapine in this population should be avoided if possible due to an increase in morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients with dementia receiving atypical antipsychotics A recent publication of PDR.net indicated .Depakote was used for seizures, bipolar disorder and migraine prophylaxis .a black box warning .valproic acid and its analogs are hepatotoxic (liver toxicity) .cases of life-threatening pancreatitis have been reported in patients A recent publication of PDR.net indicated .lorazepam was approved for the diagnosis of anxiety .a black box warning .as with other benzodiazepines, lorazepam causes central nervous system depression which may lead to respiratory affects and should be used with extreme caution A current policy, titled Psychotropic Medication Usage and Gradual Dose Reductions, dated 12/31/22 and received from the Clinical Support Nurse on 3/2/23 at 2:29 p.m., indicated .to ensure every effort is made for resident receiving psychoactive medications to obtain the maximum benefit with minimal unwanted side effects through appropriate use evaluation and monitoring by the interdisciplinary team .residents shall receive psychotropic medications only if designated medically necessary by the prescriber, with appropriate diagnosis or documentation to support usage. The medical necessity will be documented in the resident's medical record and in care planning process .efforts to reduce dosage or discontinue psychotropic medications will be ongoing as appropriate .a gradual dose reduction would be attempted for 2 separated quarters per physicians recommendations .review of medication use would be conducted by the consultant pharmacy .as needed orders for psychotropic drugs are limited to 14 days 3.1-48(a)(2) 3.1-48(b)(2) Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents with dementia who received psychotropic medications had documentation to show resident specific delusions or hallucinations, had documentation to show how the resident was distressed or not easily redirected and to provide a clinical rationale for the declination of a gradual dose reduction (GDR) for 2 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. (Resident 42 and 51) Findings include: 1. During an observation, on 2/27/23 at 3:22 p.m., Resident 42 was sitting up on the edge of his bed. There was a plastic bin next to his bed with a backpack, winter hat, and some items under the hat on the top of the bin. During an observation, on 2/28/23 at 3:06 p.m., the resident was lying in bed, in his room, and his eyes were closed. The plastic bin remained next to his bed. The record for Resident 42 was reviewed on 3/1/23 at 3:12 p.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behavioral disturbance, psychotic disorder with delusions due to a known physiological condition, depression, and anxiety disorder. A physician's order, dated 6/29/22, indicated to give risperidone (an antipsychotic) 0.25 mg (milligram) twice a day for psychotic disorder with delusions due to a known physiological condition. A care plan, dated 6/30/22, indicated the resident demonstrated altered behaviors including delusions. The resident believed he was going home, looked at different destinations to live and packed up items. The goal was for the delusions to be easily altered without adverse effects. The approaches included, but were not limited to, medications per orders, psychiatric services as needed and to monitor the resident's behaviors with all hands-on care. A care plan, dated 7/08/22, indicated the resident was at a risk for developing adverse effects related to receiving an antipsychotic medication. The approaches included, but were not limited to, administer the medication as ordered by the physician, attempt to give the lowest dose possible and GDR at least twice a year unless contraindicated. A target behavior, dated 7/21/22, indicated the resident believed he was going home, looked for different destinations to live and packed up his items. A target behavior, dated 7/21/22, indicated the resident had sadness about being in a facility and wanted to go to his daughter's home. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 11/29/22 at 12:00 p.m., indicated the resident had received the psychotropic medications risperidone 0.25 mg twice a day and sertraline (an antidepressant) 50 mg daily. The doses had been in place since 6/29/22. A review of the resident's chart did not reflect a worsening of depression, anxiety, or psychosis. To reach the minimal effective dose, please consider a trial dose reduction to risperidone 0.25 mg at bedtime and continue the sertraline 50 mg as ordered. If the order for the risperidone was to be continued as written, please document the risk versus the benefits have been considered. A progress note, dated 12/1/22 at 11:15 a.m., indicated a GDR review was completed. The resident was on risperidone and sertraline and was recommended by the pharmacy to GDR the risperidone and leave the sertraline. A progress note, dated 12/2/22 at 1:47 p.m., indicated the hospice nurse was consulted regarding the GDR review and indicated it was recommended to keep the dosage the same as it was working for the resident. The progress note did not include the rationale for keeping the resident on the risperidone or the risks versus the benefits. A Medication Administration Record (MAR) history, dated 12/01/22 through 12/31/22, indicated the resident had one targeted behavior of anxiety with asking about going home. An MAR history, dated 12/01/22 through 12/31/22, indicated the resident had one targeted behavior of going home, looking for different destination to live and packing up belongings which occurred on 12/7/22. An MAR history, dated 12/1/22 through 12/31/22, indicated the resident had one targeted behavior of sadness about being in a facility and wanting to go to his daughter's home which occurred on 12/28/22. During an interview, on 3/2/23 at 11:33 a.m., RN 4 indicated the resident did not go to activities and got anxious when he was out of his room. During an interview, on 3/2/23 at 4:17 p.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the resident self-isolated, preferred to be alone, and was not receiving psychiatric services at the facility. During an interview, on 3/6/23 at 4:05 p.m., the resident's family member indicated the resident had not been social outside of his family. The resident would be anxious if he was taken to the facility dining area and wanted to eat in his room. The resident kept western books in the tote by his bed packed with his other belongings. The resident did not need to be on a dementia unit, so she wanted him moved to this facility. The facility documentation and the interviews from the staff were conflicted. The documentation indicated the resident wanted to leave and the interviews indicated the resident wanted to stay in his room. The facility documentation of the resident's belongings being packed as a delusion and the family member's interview of the resident keeping his books and belongings close by the bed for his accessibility were also in conflict.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure frozen food was securely covered, the refrigerator did not contain employee drinks and the thermometer used to temp food was cleaned between testing temperatures. The deficient practice had the potential to affect 62 of 62 residents who received food from the kitchen. Findings include: 1. During the kitchen observation, on 2/27/23 at 12:37 p.m., with the Dietary Manager (DM), the following were observed: a. The walk-in freezer had a large silver pan containing pulled pork and the plastic wrap over the top was not pulled tightly over the meat. The meat had ice formed over the top of the meat and the whole length of the pan. b. The refrigerator door had a large approximately 32 oz blue cup with a lid. The sticker on the cup indicated it was a staff member's cup. c. The thermometer to temp the food on the steam table was wiped off with a dirty rag from the Sani solution (a cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting solution) bucket. During an interview, 2/27/23 at 12:37 p.m., the DM indicated the frozen meat should have been securely covered and employee food and drinks could be stored in the refrigerator. 2. During an observation, on 2/28/23 at 12:10 p.m., [NAME] 1 removed a white rag with multiple black stains from a bucket containing Sani solution.
