Summary
The facility failed to employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skill sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, specifically by not ensuring that the Dietary Manager maintained current certification. Record review showed that the Dietary Manager's certificate had expired, and during an interview, the Dietary Manager acknowledged awareness of the expired status and indicated plans to register for recertification. The Administrator confirmed prior knowledge of the expired certificate but did not recall specific details about when or with whom the issue was discussed. There was no facility policy regarding the employment of a certified Dietary Manager.
