Summary
The facility failed to provide the services of a full-time certified dietary manager for its census of 36 residents who received meals from the kitchen. At the time of the survey, the dietary staff member responsible for managing food and nutrition services was still in training to become a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), and the Registered Dietician (RD) only visited the facility monthly. The facility's own policy required sufficient staff with appropriate competencies and skill sets to carry out food and nutrition service functions, but this standard was not met as there was no full-time certified dietary manager on staff.
