Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the director of food and nutrition services possessed the required qualifications of a certified dietary manager (CDM). During an initial tour of the kitchen, the staff member responsible for dietary services stated she was currently taking classes to become certified but had not yet taken the certification test. It was also noted that a registered dietician visited the facility twice a month to review residents' diets and address any weight loss. Additionally, administrative staff confirmed that the dietary manager had not yet achieved certification and would be taking the test soon. The facility was unable to provide a policy regarding the qualifications for a Certified Dietary Manager when requested.
