32 | Allegation: Staff are not meeting resident’s dietary needs
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, LPA interviewed clients (C1, C2, C3,C4) and staff (ADM, S1). Review of clients (C1, C2) medication administration records showed that they are prescribed diabetic medication (Metformin). LPA observed C1 eating a salad for lunch during visit. C1 confirmed with LPA that staff provide him with healthy meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) daily with diet drinks. Other clients (C2, C3, C4) confirmed with LPA that staff provide them with adequate meals and that they are satisfied with the food service. Although the allegation that staff are not meeting resident’s dietary needs may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, this allegation is unsubstantiated.
