During a group interview on 12/05/18 at 10:00 A.M., Residents #30, #37, #84, #95, and #149
said:
– The food is usually late on all meals;
– They were told that the kitchen staff was understaffed.
Interviews with Food Service Staff (FSS) on 12/04/18 showed:

– At 1:10 P.M., FSS A said they had ran out of clean trays;
– At 1:27 P.M., Certified Medication Technician (CMT) H said the meals are usually
delivered between 12:30 P.M. to 12:45 P.M., on the women’s unit;
– At 1:30 P.M., FSS B said they were running short on clean small bowls because they were
needed for dessert and vegetables;
– At 1:40 P.M., the ADM said she was not sure why staff had not washed all the dishes
before meal services. She said that the staff ran out of carrots, potatoes, and roast beef
at lunch. FSS A said she prepared enough food for 150 but did not allow for all the
residents who received double portions.
– At 1:45 P.M., the CDM said staff should have washed dishes before the meal but did not
get them done. She said meals had been late before but lunch was really bad because staff
did not work together.
– At 4:35 P.M., FSS C said they were out of silverware and had to wash more.
Record review of the facility’s policy on Dining Rooms dated 4/6/17 showed Dietary will
deliver trays at scheduled times or call if the time is going to be different from normal
