Summary
The facility failed to serve food according to the planned menu, as nine residents did not receive coleslaw with their lunch meal. The facility menu for the specified lunch included baked pork chop, baked beans, creamy coleslaw, cornbread, and whipped jello parfait. During observation of the lunch service, it was noted that the kitchen ran out of coleslaw, resulting in these residents not receiving the item on their trays. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the coleslaw was unavailable and that no substitutions were provided for the affected residents. Review of the facility's policy indicated that substitutions should be made when menu items are not available, but this was not followed in this instance.
