Summary
The facility failed to serve breakfast at the scheduled time of 8:00 a.m. on June 3, 2025, as evidenced by observations at 9:26 a.m. showing seven residents still waiting for their meal, with two residents expressing hunger. At 9:30 a.m., dietary staff had only just begun plating meal trays in the first-floor dining room. The Registered Dietitian confirmed that the delay was due to dietary employees not showing up for work. During a group meeting later that morning, several alert and oriented residents reported that meals are not served according to posted times, which disrupts their ability to maintain a consistent routine.
