Summary
The facility failed to designate a qualified individual to serve as the director of food and nutrition services. Review of the key personnel list during the entrance conference revealed that no staff member was listed as the dietary manager. Interviews with dietary staff and the administrator confirmed that the facility did not currently have a dietary manager, and the person temporarily filling the role lacked the necessary dietary credentials. This resulted in the absence of a staff member with the required competencies and skills to oversee food and nutrition services, as required by regulation.
