Colonial Manor of Randolph: Dietary Staff Gaps - NE
The facility's dietary schedule for September shows the operations manager worked the evening cook shift on September 5, the day shift on September 6, and both the day and evening shifts on September 7. The operations manager returned to cook the day shift again on September 13.
In an interview on October 2, the operations manager confirmed that the previous dietary manager had left the month before and the facility had been unable to hire a replacement. The operations manager had stepped in as interim dietary manager. They had received no training for that role and no training as a cook. They had not consulted with the facility's registered dietician about any menu changes.
The kitchen had been short-staffed beyond just the dietary manager position. The facility's interdisciplinary team, a group that typically coordinates resident care across departments, had been pulled in to cover dietary aide duties. Those team members had received training on safe dishwasher temperatures and how to complete dishwasher temperature logs.
Federal inspectors who visited the facility on November 24, 2025 cited the deficiency as affecting many residents, with potential for harm.
The operations manager was still serving as interim dietary manager at the time of the interview, more than a month after the previous dietary manager had left. The facility had not filled the position.
