Summary
The facility failed to employ a full-time certified dietary manager to oversee food and nutrition services for its 34 residents. Interviews with dietary staff revealed that the current staff member responsible for dietary management was not registered for a dietary manager program and had only been with the facility for a few months. Administrative staff confirmed that there was no certified dietary manager employed and that the individual in the role was not enrolled in the necessary training. The facility relied on a Registered Dietitian who visited monthly, and no policy for the dietary manager position was provided during the review.
