Administrator, (S1) stated that it is a personal taste preference of R1 and that the food served is nutritious and meets department requirements. S1 also stated that there are choices and that R1 eats at the facility every day. LPA toured the dining hall at lunch time and observed the food to appear fresh, varied and nutritious. Facility also has always available menu for residents that prefer to choose an alternative that is not on the daily menu. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate this allegation.
Allegation: Staff do not ensure that residents' dietary needs are met. It is alleged that facility serves shrimp almost everyday and R1 cannot eat it due to high cholesterol content.
LPA interviewed ten (11) residents and nine (10) of ten (11) residents could corroborate the allegation. LPA interviewed four (4) staff, and all four (4) staff denied the allegation. S1 stated that shrimp is not served every day and that R1 can make choice to have something else. LPA reviewed the menu for this week 08/24/2026, and shrimp was on the menu once for lunch and once for dinner on separate days. Menu shows other items available if resident does not want shrimp. LPA observed menu to have at least two main course items every day to choose for lunch and dinner every day. Facility also has always available menu for residents that prefer to choose an alternative that is not on the daily menu. R1 does not have doctor’s order for special diet on file. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate this allegation.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur; therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator. A copy of this report, along with the appeal rights, was provided.
