Colonial Manor of Randolph: Staffing Deficiencies - NE
When the facility's dietary manager left in September 2025, Colonial Manor couldn't find a replacement. So the office manager stepped in as interim dietary manager. She told inspectors during an interview on October 2 that she had received no training related to the dietary manager position and no training as a cook.
The dietary schedule for September showed the office manager working as the evening cook on September 5, the day shift cook on September 6, both the day and evening shifts on September 7, and the day shift again on September 13. She had not reached out to a registered dietician about any menu changes during this period.
The kitchen wasn't just short a manager. The facility told inspectors the Interdisciplinary Team, staff whose primary roles lie elsewhere in the building, had been filling in as dietary aides. Those staff had received training on safe dishwasher temperatures and how to complete the dishwasher temperature logs, which suggests that basic sanitation monitoring had also been falling to people pulled from other jobs.
The office manager confirmed all of this herself. She said the facility had struggled with kitchen staffing and had been unable to hire a new dietary manager since the previous one left.
Inspectors cited the deficiency as affecting many residents, with potential for actual harm.
