Plan of correction · submitted by the facility
Effective 01/24/2024, snacks were made available to residents 24 hours a day. The residents can independently access snacks as desired. To monitor, the administrator or designee will visualize the snack area 3 times weekly for 3 months to ensure that snacks are available and independently accessible; this surveillance will be monitored on the daily leadership form and available for the Department’s review upon request. This citation will be entered into our QAPI program at our next quarterly meeting. Independent food choices include apples, oranges, popcorn, trail mix, granola bars and cereal always with special additions of cookies, cheese crackers, donuts, muffins and seasonal fruit as available. In addition, we always have coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and fruit juice readily available. Snacks and beverages are placed in the resident kitchen and in the dining room. Staff is aware of this change and will always monitor selections for availability. Administrator has included a line item in the daily leadership huddle notes verifying availability. This will be conducted no less than three times a week for 90 days. This observation began January 30, 2024. Staff and residents have been advised of this addition as soon as the deficit was noted and has been documented in the resident council meeting notes and at staff meetings. This will be reiterated at subsequent meetings. Mealtimes are flexible but generally breakfast is from 7-9, lunch at 12 noon and dinner at 5pm, food is also available 24 hours a day in the form of sandwiches, cereal, eggs and most requests can be accommodated. Menus are posted throughout the facility and on each dining room table. Residents are encouraged to review the menus to help them make desirable food choices or substitutions.
