In collaboration with The Seattle Times, Big Local News is providing full-text nursing home deficiencies from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

17	MOUNTAIN VIEW CENTER GENESIS HEALTHCARE	475012	9 HAYWOOD AVENUE	RUTLAND	VT	5701	2018-03-22	804	E	0	1	CMTT11	Based on observation and interviews, the facility failed to assure that foods were served at a safe, appetizing and palatable temperature. Findings include: Per interview in the resident Council special meeting on 3/20/18 at 1 PM, Residents in attendance stated that food served in resident rooms is always cold, especially the eggs in the morning. The majority of the 9 residents attending were from Dogwood Drive but there were other residents from other units as well. The residents stated that the eggs were always cold and that other meals were not hot either. This surveyor raised the question because a review of the Resident Council minutes for the past 3 months showed complaints of cold food. During lunch on 3/21/18 two surveyors, on Dogwood Drive, sampled test trays and also checked the temperatures of the foods. The following observations were made: Liver & Onions and Chicken were found to be at 100 degrees, Mashed Potatoes were at 106 degrees, Scalloped Potatoes were at 105 degrees, California Mixed Vegetables were at 100 degrees on one tray and 97 degrees on the second tray, and coffee was at 160 degrees. The chocolate milk was at 60 degrees and the ice cream was soft but not melted. According to the Dietary Manager, in an interview, the food has temperature readings checked once when the food arrives on the unit. Food is delivered to the unit in pans on Dogwood Drive. The US Food and Drug Administration states, Be aware that some warmers only hold food at 110 F (Fahrenheit) to 120 F, so check the product label to make sure your warmer has the capability to hold foods at 140 F or warmer. This is the temperature that is required to keep bacteria at bay. Foods to be served cold must be held and served at temperatures of 40 degrees F or less to prevent bacteria growth.	2020-09-01
