Summary
The facility failed to provide an adequate supply of dishes for residents, resulting in meals and drinks being served in disposable Styrofoam containers and cups. Observations during breakfast and lunch on multiple hallways and in the dining room confirmed the use of disposable products for serving food and fluids. The Dietary Manager verified that there were not enough dishes available, necessitating the use of disposable containers. A resident reported that meals are always served on disposable products and expressed a preference for regular dishes, noting that actual plates are only provided occasionally. These findings were based on direct observations and interviews conducted during the survey.
