32 | Based on the information obtained, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
On the allegation: Staff did not provide adequate food service. It was alleged staff served juice instead of water, only served processed foods, served cold food, and did not serve food in a timely manner. On 12/5/2023, LPA observed the facility food supply. LPA observed a supply of fresh fruit on the counter accessible to residents, and a water dispenser. In the refrigerator, LPA observed an adequate amount of food including milk, juice, coffee creamer, fruit, bread, cheese, lunchmeat, vegetables, meat, and condiments. In the freezer, LPA observed ice cream, tempura shrimp, frozen meals, fries, frozen vegetables, and frozen meat. The facility also had an adequate supply of nonperishable foods. Through interviews with Staff, LPA was told the facility follows a documented daily menu for residents, unless a substitution regarding recipes and/or ingredients needs to be made. This includes providing water to a resident instead of juice, coffee, milk, etc. as stated on the facility daily menu. LPA requested and received a copy of the facility daily menu which provided a weekly schedule of meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The facility daily meal menu provides different foods for each meal of the day and provides different foods daily to residents. The daily menu provides meals that are not processed foods and meals that are served warm/hot. All residents interviewed by LPA had no corroborative statements about the food service at the facility. No resident interviewed stated that water was not served, the facility only served processed foods, only served cold food, and did not serve food in a timely manner.
Based on interviews, records review, and LPA observations, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation “Staff did not provide adequate food service.” is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
On the allegation: Staff did not comply with resident's admission agreement. It was alleged that although Resident 1 (R1)’s admission agreement stated it would be a private room and bathroom, other residents used R1’s bathroom. LPA requested and received signed copies of R1’s admission agreement and the facility house rules. Through record review, the dated and signed admission agreement of R1 does not mention anything about a private bathroom. The admission agreement states that the lodging is a private, non-ambulatory room, with no mention of a private bathroom for R1. LPA observed two (2) resident bathrooms in the facility. Both bathrooms were in operating condition with grab bars and non-skid surfaces. The bathrooms were sufficiently stocked with supplies and paper towels; towels and washcloths are not shared.
