32 | Additionally, some meals were delivered directly to residents' rooms. A follow-up visit was conducted on 09/16/2025. During this visit, LPA toured the facility and observed lunch being served in the dining room. Several residents were assisted in the dining area. Three (RAs) were seen helping residents with feeding, opening food containers, and providing supervision. Two med-techs were observed distributing medications, and kitchen staff were seen delivering meals in and out of the dining room. In total, LPA observed five med-techs and seven resident aides on duty. LPA observed Resident 1 (R1) receiving lunch via room service and being assisted with feeding. On both visits, LPA verified that the facility had a sufficient supply of food: a minimum of two days’ worth of perishable and seven days’ worth of non-perishable food items. According to R1’s care documentation, including progress notes from February 2025 to July 2025, R1 receives meals either in the dining room or through room service and sometimes refuses to eat. It was also learned that (R1) was placed on hospice care on 02/14/2025. Hospice services were provided in coordination with the facility. According to the records reviewed, there were ongoing communication, and three care conferences held involving the resident’s responsible party, hospice, and the facility. The notes confirm that R1 is consistently provided with food and liquids. Interviews were conducted with both residents and staff. All 7 out of 7 residents interviewed stated they had no concerns regarding the staff meeting their needs or the adequacy of the food provided. R1 stated that R1 likes the food being served to R1 and is receiving sufficient food and water and has no complaints. Additionally, 7 out of 7 staff members interviewed denied any allegations of neglect and staff are not meeting resident needs. Based on the observations, record reviews, and interviews conducted, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether the alleged violations occurred.
