Summary
During the evening meal on one of the units, six residents were observed eating their dinner in the dining room with their meals served on trays. This method of meal service was noted to be neither homelike nor respectful, failing to promote the residents' dignity. The Regional Director of Operations confirmed during observation and interview that serving meals on trays in this manner did not support a homelike environment or demonstrate dignity and respect for the residents.
