During an interview on 7/16/24 at 3:00 p.m., staff member E stated, We (the facility) have a contract dietician that comes every other week. I have never met her.

She is available for me to call if I have questions. I have only been in this position for about three months. I am currently enrolled in a Certified Food Manager program, but I haven't had the time to complete it, due to my working in the kitchen so much.

During an interview on 7/16/24 at 3:21 p.m., staff member B stated, The dietician is here every two weeks.

While she (dietitian) is here, we discuss weight loss, and skin issues.

She is part of the IDT.

During an interview on 7/16/24 at 3:25 p.m., staff member A stated, The dietician has not worked with the dietary manager directly; she works with the IDT. I had to promote from within (the facility) for the Dietary Manager position. We couldn't find anyone else to hire.

The dietary manager is enrolled in a certification course but has not completed it.

During an interview on 7/17/24 at 8:01 a.m., staff member F stated, I try to be there every other week. I have only been working for that facility for a couple of months.

I have not spent time in the kitchen, and I haven't had a chance to meet the dietary manager.
