Summary
During a meal service observation, a resident was seated at a table with two other residents and a visitor who were all eating lunch, while the resident watched without being served their meal. The surveyor noted that seven additional tables were served before intervening. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident should have been served at the same time as the others at the table. This incident demonstrated a failure to treat the resident with respect and dignity during meal service, as the resident was left waiting while others around them ate.
