Inspection Findings

FF805

F-F805), and safe food handling and sanitation (cross reference

During an interview with the Regional Operations Director (ROD) on 7/17/24, at 2:14 p.m., he was aware the DS was not qualified for the current position. A concurrent review of the federal regulations with the ROD indicated the qualified personnel for the Dietary Manager position should meet one of the criteria from the state standards, Health and Safety Code 1265.4.

The ROD acknowledged the requirements after he reviewed the state standards.

During an interview with the RD on 7/17/24, at 2:45 p.m., she stated she and the other dietitian visited the facility twice per week (around 16 hours per week) per contract.

She stated she and the other dietitian were majorly responsible for clinical work (such as nutrition assessments, monitoring resident's weight and attending weight meeting, and consultations) and monthly kitchen sanitation audit.

She stated she usually spent one to two hours for the kitchen sanitation audit monthly.

She stated she did some meal tray monitoring and in-services for the staff last year but did not do any this year.

She stated she spent approximately 80 percent of her visit time for clinical and 20 percent for foodservice operation (kitchen).

During a follow up interview with the RD on 7/18/24, at 10:30 a.m., she stated she was not aware the DS was not qualified for the position and did not meet the state standards.

She stated she was aware that the DS still taking the courses to be CDM certified. RD stated she and the other dietitian covered the full-time position due to the previous dietary supervisor not being qualified.

She stated the dietitians' hours cut back to part time since the new company took over and the new supervisor, DS, was on board for the position.

A review of the DS's employee file indicated the DS was hired by the facility on 3/22/24 for the full-time position as Dietary Manager.

The file indicated DS had three associate degrees with management, business management and recreational management but no indication of any type of professional registration nor certification.

The file included ServSafe certification (a certification provided after the completion of training and an examination of the knowledge of safe food handling), but this certification was not one of the requirements of the state standards.

A review of DS's job description (JD) provided by the facility, revised 6/2020, it did not indicate any education and experience requirements for the dietary supervisor position.
