Summary
During a kitchen tour, three black serving trays with chipped, jagged edges were observed in the dish cleaning area. The Food Services Director confirmed that trays with jagged edges could cause bleeding to residents with fragile skin and acknowledged that such trays should not be used. Later, during dinner service, three food trays with chips and jagged edges were observed being distributed to residents' rooms in the F Villa. Photographic evidence was obtained of the trays in use. These observations indicate that food was not served in a safe manner for three of twelve residents observed during meal service.
