Summary
The facility failed to ensure that weekly menus were posted and available for review by residents, as required by both facility policy and regulatory standards. Observations revealed that no weekly menus were posted in the kitchen or resident areas for 32 residents who received meals from the facility kitchen. The facility's policy specified that menus for regular and therapeutic diets must be written at least two weeks in advance, dated, and posted in the kitchen at least one week in advance, as well as posted in at least two resident areas in a manner accessible to residents. Interviews with the dietary manager confirmed that menus were not posted as required, and a resident reported never having seen menus posted.
