Staff interviews

Certified nurse aide (CNA) #2 was interviewed on 8/15/24 at 10:46 a.m. CNA #2 said the staff asked the residents for their preferences.

She said the residents' dislikes and allergies were listed on their care plans and the meal tickets. CNA #2 said the staff asked residents what their drink preferences were.

She said if a resident was unable to choose, the facility sent the resident cranberry juice because it was good for the resident's bladders.

CNA #2 said the drinks for residents living on the secure unit were poured in the kitchen and sent in the meal tray cart at meal time.
