32 | LPA observed a posting of the meal of the day framed by the third floor elevator. Breakfast was egg and ham scramble, fresh fruit, 100% juice, and whole grain toast with lunch as soup du jour, buttermilk baked chicken, fresh cooked yams, seasoned cabbage, baked roll, and cherry cobbler, and soup du jour, broccoli cheese casserole, peach fruit cup, herb roasted tomatoes, herb pull apart roll, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookie for dinner. LPA observed lunch was served according to the menu and residents having food from the alternate menu as well. Food serving was observed sufficient and well-balanced. Facility was following the dietary orders for all residents on file. Four out of five residents and one staff interviewed did not corroborate with the allegation and having no concerns with the meals.
It is alleged that the facility staff do not provide residents snacks between meals. LPA observed facility having an assortment of snacks such as chips and fruits with water/juice in the snack area. Also observed on the bulletin board of the third floor dining room, a posting showing snacks such as strawberry banana yogurt, 24 hour fruit salad, peanut butter jam sandwich, ham sandwich, cheese quesadilla, and classic turkey sandwich are "always available." Five of five residents and one staff interviewed did not corroborate with the allegation indicating that snacks are available upon request.
Based on the observations made, interviews which were conducted, and the records that were reviewed, 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 following allegations: Facility staff are not meeting residents' dietary needs and Facility staff do not provide residents snacks between meals are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Christine Chon, and a copy of this report was provided at exit. |
