Summary
The facility failed to employ a qualified dietary manager with the required certification and competencies to oversee the food and nutrition service. The current dietary manager had been working in the role for about five weeks but had not yet obtained certification, although she was enrolled in classes to become a certified dietary manager. The dietary manager reported being supervised by a Registered Dietitian, who was not employed full-time at the facility but visited at least once a week. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 20 residents who received food from the facility's kitchen.
