Summary
The facility failed to employ a full-time, qualified dietary services manager in the absence of a full-time qualified dietitian. During staff interviews, it was confirmed that the facility did not have a certified dietary manager or a full-time qualified dietitian on staff. Additionally, there were no regularly scheduled consultations with a qualified dietitian when a certified dietary manager was not present. These findings were corroborated by both the Director of dining and the Administrator during separate interviews.
