LPA interviewed 8 residents and 7 out of 8 residents denied the allegation and stated that the portions are sometimes small but they can ask for a second serving once everyone has been served and that if the food is cold staff will reheat it for them with no issues. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/residents, and review of client files, and LPA observations, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED .
