Resident #4 was alert and oriented times one to two and able to eat with supervision and set-up assistance. An attempt to interview Resident #4 while she waited for her lunch tray was unsuccessful due to her incomprehensible responses. During interview on 04/26/22 at 12:16 P.M., State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #500 acknowledged Resident #4 did not have a lunch tray and indicated she did not know why. STNA #500 did not initiate any attempts to find out where Resident #4's lunch tray was. During interview on 04/28/22 at 4:35 P.M., Corporate Clinical Coordinator (CCC) #501 indicated that due to the inconsistency of residents eating in their rooms and eating in the dining rooms, it was difficult for staff to always know from one day to the next if the resident would be eating in their room or in the dining room. The CCC indicated that prior to Covid-19, meals were served buffet-style in the dining room, and it eliminated the issue of tracking down trays. The CCC #501 indicated that the plan is to return to buffet-style meal service to eliminate the issue of tracking down trays and ensure timely meal service.
