Based on observations, interviews and records reviewed, the facility failed to ensure one (Resident #72) out of the eleven residents that eat independently had a dignified dining experience. As evidence by during the lunch meal in the dining room Resident # 72 did not receive a meal tray while the table mate had received her meal and had started eating. The findings included: During dining observation on 07/28/2025 there were 11 residents in the dining room, seated with two residents per table. At approximately 11:55 AM when the meal cart arrived staff members distributed the meal trays. Resident #72 was seated with another resident when the meal cart arrived. The resident seated with Resident #72 was served and had started eating but Resident #72 was not served.On 07/28/2025 at 12:22 PM, Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), reported that Resident #72's tray had not been included in the cart, due to an error in the kitchen.A review of the seating arrangements confirmed that Resident #72 was assigned to table #3. This designation is part of the facility's established dining plan, ensuring residents are seated according to structured guidelines during meal services.Interview with Staff A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 07/28/2025 at 12:32 PM revealed the resident did not receive a meal during the scheduled dining period. She reported that the kitchen staff had failed to deliver Resident #72's meal tray to the dining room as expected and the oversight originated in the kitchen, resulting in the absence of the resident's meal.Interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 07/31/2025 at 11:45 AM.
