Summary
The facility failed to provide required supervision and assistance during mealtime for two residents who needed such support. According to facility policy, there should be a process in place to ensure residents receive appropriate assistance and supervision during dining. Medical record reviews showed that one resident was severely cognitively impaired and required supervision with eating, while another was moderately cognitively impaired and also required supervision. During an observation in the dining room, both residents were seen feeding themselves without any staff present to supervise or assist. The administrator later confirmed that staff should have been present to supervise residents during meals.
