Summary
During an observation of the kitchen, it was noted that two dietary aides were not wearing hairnets while present in the kitchen area. This was confirmed during an interview with the Assistant Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that all staff are required to wear hairnets while in the kitchen. The failure to follow this protocol was observed during a random inspection and is likely to affect all 79 residents listed on the facility's census at the time.
