Summary

Dietary workers failed to wear protective hair coverings in accordance with facility policy during food preparation in the kitchen. Observations revealed that the Assistant Dietary Manager (ADM) had hair protruding from her hair covering, leaving parts of her forehead and the back of her head uncovered while preparing desserts and salads for lunch meal service. Additionally, the Lead staff member was observed plating resident meals without a protective beard covering to cover his facial hair. The Food and Nutrition Director confirmed that all dietary workers are required to have their hair completely covered while in food preparation areas, and acknowledged that the ADM and Lead staff did not comply with this requirement.
