32 | On the allegation Staff did not provide adequate food accommodations to residents in care LPA observed the Lunch delivery service on 7/29/2026. LPA observed 5 meals delivered on the 3rd floor to Resident- R2, R3, R4, R5, R6. One tray was delivered to the second floor to R7. LPA felt the temperature of each meal delivered on the third floor and observed R2's meal was noticeably cold while all other meals delivered were either warm or hot. LPA observed that R2, R3, R4, R6, and R7 ordered the daily special which was tamales. R5 ordered a grilled cheese and soup. LPA also briefly spoke with R2-R7. R2, R6, and R7 each stated that their meals are typically delivered cold and have to be reheated upon LPA asking how the temperature of their meals are usually delivered. R3, R4, and R5 all stated that their meals temperature are usually fine when asked the same question. LPA also observed each residents meal ticket order an observed that the average time between the order being made and delivery of the tray to the rooms was approximately 10 minutes. LPA also spoke with the ED who states that there have been a few occasions where residents have complained of cold meals and that when that happens they send them a new tray. LPA observed that all residents rooms are equipped with microwaves for reheating food. Based on all observations made, regulatory expectations, and interviews the above allegation is Unsubstantiated.
* LPA did advise ED to prioritize meal tray services to ensure residents meals are delivered timely, fresh, and hot
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
