Summary
The facility failed to provide a dignified dining experience by not serving lunch to all residents seated at the same tables at the same time. During lunch service in the 8th floor common dining room, four residents were not given their lunch trays when other residents at their tables received theirs. Staff did not call the names of two residents who were present in the dining room, and their trays were left on the cart until staff later provided them. Two other residents were also served late and did not have diet tickets with their trays. The facility's dignity policy requires that trays be served in order at each individual table so that residents are not left waiting while others at the same table are eating.
