Emergency Food Supply Deficiency
Summary
The facility failed to maintain subsistence needs for residents and staff as required by their Emergency Preparedness Plan. During an observation and interview, it was found that the emergency food supply was insufficient, with only one case of beef stew available instead of the required 3.2 cases, and no meat ravioli present, contrary to the facility's emergency menu requirements. The Food Service Director acknowledged the absence of meat ravioli, stating it was unavailable during the last order attempt and planned to substitute it with meat sauce and rice. However, there was no documentation to support that the missing items were unavailable from the vendor or that attempts were made to order them. This deficiency was identified during the Emergency Preparedness Plan review in conjunction with a Life Safety Code Survey.
