Summary
A resident with diagnoses including dementia, acquired absence of the left leg below the knee, and anxiety was care planned to receive all disposable eating items from dietary services due to hoarding behaviors, which posed an infection control concern. Despite this care plan, the resident was observed using a reusable plate and silverware during a meal service. Staff confirmed that the facility failed to provide the required special eating equipment and utensils as specified in the resident's care plan, resulting in noncompliance with the established infection control measures for this individual.
