Summary
The facility failed to provide a resident with three meals a day as required by policy. On observation, a resident had not received their lunch by 2:10 P.M., despite having requested a ham sandwich and a bowl of soup from the alternative menu. The resident confirmed in an interview that they had not received lunch at that time. The DON also confirmed that the resident did not receive their lunch. Review of the facility's policy indicated that lunch should be served daily at 12:30 P.M., but this was not followed in this instance.
