Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the dietary manager had completed a certification program approved by a national certifying body or possessed higher education in a related field. During a kitchen observation, there was no documentation available to show advanced training for the dietary manager. Interviews revealed that the current interim dietary manager had come out of retirement to temporarily fill the position after the previous manager left, and her certified dietary manager certification had expired approximately three years prior. There was no certified dietary manager on staff at the time of the survey. These findings were based on direct observation, staff interviews, and record review.
