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.
