Summary
The facility failed to provide food in accordance with a resident's documented preferences. Resident R19, who has diagnoses including depression, macular degeneration, and muscle wasting, was observed during lunch with a biscuit on their plate, despite their meal ticket specifying 'NO BREAD/NO PASTA.' The resident expressed frustration that their preference to avoid bread products was not being honored. Staff interviews, including with a registered nurse and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that the facility served food products containing bread to the resident, contrary to their stated preferences.
