Summary
The facility failed to provide residents with a homelike dining environment as required. During the annual survey, it was observed that the dining room on the Chesapeake unit was locked and not used for breakfast, with residents instead receiving their breakfast meals delivered to their rooms. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the dining room remained locked for both breakfast and dinner, only being opened for lunch. The administrator explained that the dining room was kept locked in the morning because residents were not up and ready by breakfast time, and it was locked again for dinner.
