32 | Staff are not providing adequate food service to residents.
Document review revealed, the facility has a menu posted with healthy food choice. LPA Benson observed the facility has a dry erase board with written request from the residents for food specific items and meal request.
During LPA Benson’s inspection of the facility an abundant variety of food was present with fruits, vegetable, milk, cheese, lunch meat, variety of snacks with a refrigerator, cupboards, and freezer, full of food. During LPA Bensons inspection no relish was observed.
During LPA Benson’s visit to the Day Program staff were interviewed. Staff witness one W1 reported the residents’ lunch today is apple sauce, chips, and a frozen burrito. Staff at the Day Program stated I have not noticed a poor selection of food for the residents. Staff stated, I have never observed the resident bring a relish sandwich and carrots. Staff witness two W2 stated once staff forgot to put the main menu item in the lunch box. W2 stated the facility staff were called and they immediately brought the main menu item. W2 stated if we see a resident with insufficient food we take a picture, notify the facility staff and if it was not resolved, we would send and incident report to Licensing. Staff reported they have never had to report this facility for lack of food for the clients.
During staff interviews it was reported the clients get home from Day Program and make their lunch for the next day with the help of staff. Staff stated, the residents get to pick what they want to make for their lunch. When the staff were questioned about a relish sandwich the staff reported, no one at our facility likes relish, we don’t have any.
Based on the interviews conducted the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted. A copy of the report was provided to administrator.
