Summary
The facility failed to employ a qualified Dietary Manager (DM) as required by state regulations. Record review of the Dietary Services Supervisor job description indicated that the DM must meet state requirements. During interviews, the DM confirmed that the necessary education for the position had not been completed, and the Administrator verified that the current DM did not have the required training. Additionally, it was confirmed that the Registered Dietician was not employed full-time at the facility. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 33 residents who received food service from the kitchen.
