OAR 411-054-0030:

We acknowledge that this regulation was not met as evidence of the findings found in the recent survey. Each violation listed has been corrected, which we will list below individually.

* Sandwich bar contained uncovered tray of plates with sliced fruit. Deficiency has been corrected by re-educating the staff on proper food santiation practices, adding a check to the sous chef's opening check list, and establishing two additional observational checks of the sandwich bar by the sous chef or lead cook each day.

* Walk in refrigerator had trays of uncovered/unlabeled food items. Deficiency has been corrected by re-educating the staff on proper food sanitation practices, adding a check to the sous chef's opening check list, and establishing two additonal observational checks of the refrigerator by the sous chef or lead cook each day.

* Five garbage cans throughout kitchen were uncovered. Deficiency has been corrected by purchasing lids for each of these recepticals. Staff has been educated to not remove these lids unless the lid is being cleaned and sanitized.

* Dishwashing area floor had standing water and no non-slip mat. Deficiency has been corrected by purchasing and installing new non-slip mat in that area around the dishwasher.

All kitchen staff have been trained on the proper kitchen practices for food sanitation and have completed a training that show competence in all deficient areas. We will avoid future violation in each of these areas by assigning our Dining Service Director, Floor Supervisors and sous chefs the responsibility auditing the deficient areas on a routine basis.

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to follow licensing rules for Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities.
