Residents Affected - Many This applies to all 27 residents residing in the facility reviewed for missing food items and menus served as planned. The findings include: The Facility Data Sheet dated June 18, 2024 shows 27 residents reside in the facility. The facility's Client List Report dated June 18, 2024 shows all 27 residents have physician orders for an oral diet. On June 18, 2024 at 10:41 AM, a general tour of the kitchen was conducted with V5 (Cook). The walk in cooler and walk in freezer shelves were sparse, with very few food items. Also noted was that the facility did not have eggs, mayonnaise in a jar or in individual packets, and no ketchup in a jar or individual packets. V5 said the facility ran out of bread over the weekend while serving hot dogs. On June 18, 2024 at 10:54 AM, R1 was lying in bed in his room. R1 said, On Sunday, it was Father's Day. We were supposed to be served roast beef. Instead, we got two cold hot dogs. They ran out of bread and buns, so I was served two plain hot dogs with no ketchup, no mayo, and no apple juice. Wow, happy Father's Day to me! Yesterday, I asked for a ham sandwich. They did not have mayonnaise, so they gave me tartar sauce instead. Would you want to eat a ham sandwich with tartar sauce? This has been going on for a few weeks now. On June 18, 2024 at 11:00 AM, R2 was sitting in a chair in his room. R2 said, The other day they did not have mustard for the hot dogs. They also ran out of yogurt, which I really enjoy. They serve hard boiled eggs almost every day for breakfast. I don't like hard boiled eggs, but what choice do I have? I just eat the dry cereal and give my eggs to my roommate because he likes hard boiled eggs. When we do get condiments like ketchup and mustard packets, I keep the ones I don't use for a rainy day when they are out of them. On June 18, 2024 at 11:10 AM, R3 was sitting in a chair in his room. R3 said the facility recently ran out of ketchup, hot dog buns, bread, and apple juice. They run out of everything. We never get what they say they are going to serve us.

On June 18, 2024 at 12:30 PM, R4 was sitting in the dining room eating a pulled chicken barbeque sandwich. R4 said, I thought today was going to be taco Tuesday. I really wanted tacos. Now they served us barbeque chicken on a bun. Also, they gave us mashed potatoes but no gravy. They were supposed to give us Spanish rice. The potatoes are too dry to eat. On June 18, 2024 at 12:04 PM, The facility's Daily Spreadsheet entitled S/S 24 (Spring/Summer 2024) Week 1 was reviewed with V3 (FSD-Food Service Director) and V4 (Dietitian).

V3 continued to say the facility ran out of bread and ketchup on Sunday so some residents did not receive bread or a hot dog bun with their meal. V3 also said no green peas were served, and the oatmeal pie was the substitution for the lemon cheese bar. V3 continued to say the alternate food options of peanut butter and jelly
