Summary
The facility failed to accommodate residents who wished to eat outside of scheduled meal service times on all six nursing units. Interviews with three residents revealed that they did not receive snacks, with staff informing them that there were no snacks available in the nourishment rooms. Observations of the nutrition rooms on each nursing unit confirmed that no snacks were available for residents who wanted to eat at non-traditional times. The food service director verified these findings during the survey, and the information was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing.
