Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Food Service Supervisor (FSS) met the required qualifications for a Certified Food Service Director. During an interview, the FSS stated she had been in her role for about one year but did not possess the necessary qualifications and was not enrolled in any qualifying or Managerial Servsafe course. Additionally, the facility relied on a consultant dietician who visited monthly and was not employed full-time by the facility. These actions and inactions resulted in the facility not employing sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skill sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, potentially affecting all 32 residents.
