Plan of Correction

OAR 411-054-0030 (1)(a): Resident Services Meals, Food Sanitation Rule We acknowledge that this regulation was not met as evidence of the findings found in the recent survey. to correct the violation, all areas cited in the survey have been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Additonally, we have ordered all new cutting boards and replacement lids for the three garbage cans that were not functioning properly. Lastly, all employees serving food have been instructed to wear a beard or hair restraint while in the kitchen at all times. We have corrected our system to avoid future violation by broadening our weekly cleaning checklist in the kitchen and including all areas cited during the survey visit. Equipment that was identified as uncleanable will be more closely monitored and replaced on a consistent schedule. Beard and hair restraints will be readily available for all kitchen team members. Dining Services Director will be responsible to ensure these standards are met going forward.
