32 | According to the kitchen staff who explained that the kitchen has a white board that is color coordinated for all the residents with their diet orders. When a resident is admit, the business office informs the kitchen of resident's diet and this information would be added to the white board for the kitchen staff to use during meal preparation. In addition, the white board is being updated accordingly.
During the initial 10-day complaint visit, LPA observed this white board in the kitchen with resident's name, and their diet orders on it. In addition, if a resident has a special diet order such as diabetic, mechanical soft, etc., this information is being communicated by a colored marker on the white board.
LPA interviewed 6 residents and all of them stated staff is aware of their diet and they have no concerns regarding that.
LPA interviewed 3 staff members and all of them reported that they were aware of resident's diet orders and when there is a change in a current resident's diet or a new admission, they would get that information from the supervisor or the medication technicians. In addition, if they have any questions, they would ask the medication technicians.
Based on observation, record review and interviews during the course of the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated.
Although the above 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 allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
This report is reviewed and discussed with the interim executive director.
