Nursing homes and other healthcare facilities must adhere to food safety requirements, including proper disposal of garbage and refuse, keeping areas such as loading docks, hallways, and elevators clean and free of debris, maintaining garbage storage areas in a sanitary condition, and covering garbage receptacles when being removed from the kitchen area to the dumpster. These actions are necessary to prevent the harborage and feeding of pests and to ensure a clean and safe environment for patients, personnel, and visitors.
