Based on observations, interviews and review of the facility's policy entitled Dietary Services and the facility's documented meal service times, the facility failed to act upon grievances voiced by residents as stated in the group interview. Three of 5 residents in attendance stated that meals were served at least one (1) to one and one-half (1 1/2) hours late for at least one meal each day. One anonymous resident/family and one of four residents selected for individual interviews (Resident #9) complained of meals being served late. Meals were also observed to be served late in 1 of 3 dining areas. The findings included: A Group Interview was conducted with five residents on 1/13/15 at approximately 10:30 AM. Three of the five residents in attendance stated that meals were served at least one (1) to one and one half (1 1/2) hours late for at least one (1) meal each day, usually dinner. Two (2) of the residents were from Unit 2 and one (1) from Unit 1. One (1) resident from Unit 2, stated that s/he no longer ordered the alternate meal due to the meal consistently being served after s/he had gone to bed. When asked by the surveyor if they had spoken with anyone at the facility or filed a grievance, each of the three stated that they had spoken to the dietary manager on multiple occasions and had seen no change in the service times. One resident stated that this had been brought to the facility's attention as far back as (MONTH) 2014. Review of the meal times provided by the facility indicated that dinner should be served by .5:45 PM on Unit 1 and 6:00 PM on Unit 2. The facility's Dietary Services Policy stated that the meal service times were: .Breakfast 8:00 AM, Lunch 12:00 PM and Dinner 6:00 PM . During an interview prior to entering the facility for survey, the Ombudsman stated that a concern had been voiced by a family member and/or resident who wished to remain anonymous related to trays being served and residents being fed late. During the initial tour of Unit 2 on 1-12-15 at approximately 4:00 PM, Resident #9 stopped this surveyor and stated s/he had concerns with food carts and trays being given out late. S/he stated, My food is not hot or warm by the time it's given out by the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). The resident indicated that the trays were sitting for an extended period of time, not being passed out in a timely manner. Review of the 10-1-14 Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment revealed Resident #9 was bedridden and had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating s/he was cognitively intact. On 1-15-15 at 8:30 AM, review of the (MONTH) 2014 through (MONTH) 2014 Resident Council Meeting minutes revealed repeated complaints about late tray delivery (7-31-14, 9-26-14, 10-30-14, and 11-25-14). On 1-12-15 at approximately 6:00 PM, meal observation revealed that the two carts for Unit 2 had not come from the kitchen at the scheduled delivery time of 6:00 PM. The first cart came to the unit at 6:34 PM and serving started in the Dining Room at 6:37 PM. The second cart arrived on the unit at 6:53 PM and the first tray was served at 6:55 PM. The CNAs went back and forth from one cart to the other to be able to serve the residents at the tables sequentially, thus delaying tray service for those whose tablemates had trays on the second cart. During an interview on 1-12-15 at approximately 6:38 PM, CNA #6 stated that the trays were late and were supposed to come out at 6:00 PM. During an interview on 1-12-15 at approximately 7:00 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) #4 stated that the residents that could feed themselves were served first out of Cart 1. During observation of the lunch meal on 1-13-15, the first cart came to Unit 2 at approximately 12:23 PM. Cart 2 arrived at 12:33 PM at which time tray service began from both carts. During an interview regarding the tray service process at 12:00 PM on 1-13-15, CNA #7 stated trays were passed out first in the Dining/Day Room, then to the residents eating in their rooms, and lastly to the totally dependent residents who needed to be fed. During an interview on 1-13-15 at approximately 8:55 AM, CNA #7 stated that in the dining room, there were 2 totally dependent residents and 2 requiring limited assistance by staff. There were 18 independent residents. |
