On 7/8/2024 at 8:30 a.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Staff B said he had to get the CNAs so
they would assist and feed Residents #2 and #3. RN Staff B said that Resident #2 can feed herself some
days. They need to wake her and set up her tray and see if she would feed herself or if she needs
assistance. Resident #3 can feed herself if they position her and set up her tray.
On 7/8/24 at 10:25 a.m., in an interview Unit Manager Staff E said staff are to deliver the trays of the
residents requiring assistance last. When the tray is delivered, they wake the resident, ask if they need help
and leave the tray within reach of the resident.
On 7/8/24 at 10:35 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing and the Regional Nurse
Consultant. Both said when a tray is brought into the room staff set the resident upright and offer help
cutting the food or opening milk cartons. Trays are not to be dropped off in the room without setting up and
waking the resident. Meal tray of residents who need assistance with feeding should be delivered last. It is
in the [NAME] (provides instructions for care), and the nurse should be telling CNAs in report.
On 7/8/24 at 3:28 p.m., in an interview Resident #3 said she cannot remember if she received assistance
with her meals.
On 7/8/24 at 3:32 p.m., in an interview Resident #2 said she needs assistance with her meals. She said
staff leave her tray at the bedside all the time without setting it up immediately. They come back and set it
up for her later.
