Summary
The facility failed to provide a meal tray to Resident 173 at the same time as other residents during lunch in the dining room, which did not promote dignity and respect as outlined in the facility's policy. Observation showed that while two other residents at the same table were eating, Resident 173 was left without a meal tray. This was confirmed by both another resident and the Director of Staff Development (DSD) during the observation. Resident 173's medical record indicated a fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions, but there was no indication that this was the reason for the delay in meal service. The facility's policy requires that all residents be treated with respect and dignity, especially during mealtimes.
