13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Kevin Gould made an unannounced inspection to the Muirfield home for the elderly at 9:30am to conclude the investigation of the above allegation and to deliver the findings. LPA Gould met with staff, Marilyn Carpio and together discussed the investigation details.
Based on the LPA observations during the investigation process, the allegations are substantiated. LPA observed several expired food items in the fridge and multiple items stored without proper dating. LPA observed spaghetti with meat sauce that per staff member was prepared the prior evening to be served for lunch. LPA observed the pan was at room temperature and did not meet food storage requirements. LPA observed staff discard the food at LPAs request. LPA explained the storing of food could promote bacterial growth and posed a danger if consumed by residents.
The Department has determined, based on the preponderance of the evidence obtained during this investigation, that the allegation of food services is substantiated. Report continued on LIC 9099-C. |
