resident wants to eat for those meals. The tickets are then turned back into the kitchen. When staff members deliver trays to residents, they check the tickets to what is on the tray and to make sure it's accurate. When new residents are admitted , staff are usually notified through admission paperwork the same day. When he/she does his/her oncoming walk through with the off going staff member on the shift
they both will go room to room and update resident status from the previous shift. That's when he/she will see that there is a new resident and they are accounted for and cared for by the staff without anyone falling through the cracks and getting missed for meals. CMT A was not sure why Resident #1 and Resident #2 received their breakfast meals late.During an interview on 12/29/25 at 1:15 P.M., the Dietary Manager (DM) said:- New admission residents will trigger an email or message the same day to the DM. Within 48 hours
the resident will be asked about likes and dislikes for meals and have this entered into their electronic medical record so meal tickets will print out properly. Until that time, the nursing staff will use blank meal tickets to get the resident's order for each meal and keep the kitchen informed if the resident is eating in their room or in the dining room. If a resident doesn't show up in the dining room, the kitchen staff will catch
this because they do an audit of residents on site versus the residents served during the meal right after
the dining room has completed being served, which is normally 30 minutes after the start of the meal.
Those not attending the dining service will automatically get a hall tray delivered to their room. Residents should receive their meal within an hour of the official start time for each meal. During an interview on 12/29/25 at 2:10 P.M., the Administrator said breakfast is at 8:30 A.M, lunch at 12:30 P.M., and dinner is at 5:30 P.M. He/she expects residents to receive their meal within one hour of the beginning of each meal service, even if that meal is being delivered with hall trays and this included meals for all newly admitted residents.
