Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that menus are followed when staff did not use the appropriate utensil to serve/plate the food. This deficient practice has the potential to affect all residents that receive meals from the kitchen.Findings include:On 9/28/2025 at 11:16 AM, V15 (Traveling Chef Manager) said, yesterday I observed kitchen staff not following the menu. They were not using the appropriate utensils to plate food. I told them that they must follow the menu and use the appropriate utensils to plate food.On 9/28/2025 at 12:08 PM, Resident R14 said, a lot of the times, the portions are small like what you would feed to a toddler.On 9/28/2025 at 11:58 AM, Resident R4 said food portions are small.On 9/28/2025 at 2:28 PM, Resident R12 said food portions are small.On 9/28/2025 at 4:15 PM via telephone, V4 (Psychiatric Rehabilitation Service Coordinator/PRSC) said, they (the residents) always complain about the food.
There's new staff in the kitchen. The portions look small, but I don't know.On 9/29/2025 at 12:25 PM via telephone, V22 (Registered Dietitian) said, I have heard from residents that portions are small. It could be a problem (if the appropriate utensils are not used to plate food). Residents may not get the proper nutrition or protein. That could lead to residents not getting the right amount of calories and protein which could lead to weight loss. 8/27/2025, Resident Council Meeting Minutes documents: residents requested larger portion sizes.Policy related to plating of food requested, not received at time of survey.
