Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to treat each resident with respect and dignity and care for each resident in a manner that promotes maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life for 2 of 15 residents (Residents #13 and #56) reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to ensure Resident #25 and Resident #53 were served lunch in the dining room in a dignified manner on 7/08/2025. This failure could place residents at risk for decreased quality of life, quality of care, and self-esteem.During an observation and interview on 8/26/25 at 12:05 PM Resident #25 and Resident #53 [JM1] were not served lunch with the rest of their table. Resident #53 was sitting at table with 2 other residents and while they were served lunch and started eating Resident #53 waited until 12:18 PM, 13 minutes after the other 2 were served, while staff was serving other tables before being served. Resident #25 was sitting with 1 other resident while the other resident was served at 12:07 PM and started eating, Resident # waited until 12:25 PM, 18 minutes while other resident was served, while staff was serving other tables until he was served. During an interview with Resident #53 on 8/26/25 at 12:11 PM, Resident #53 [JM2] stated that he was hungry and guessed he would have to eat by himself if staff did not serve him soon. Resident #53 stated that sometimes he must wait to be served after his table partners have been served[JM3] . Resident #53 was served at 12:18 PM, 13 minutes after the other two residents were served at his table. During an interview with Resident #25 on 8/26/25 at 12:15 PM, Resident #25 stated he must be patient, and wait until they get around to serving him. Resident #25 stated that this doesn't happen often that the other resident gets served and you must wait while staff serve other tables before you get your food, but sometimes it does happen. Resident #25 stated he would like to eat with his table partners when she gets her food. During an interview on 8/26/25 at 12:55 PM, LVN B who was the charge nurse for dining stated that Residents #25 and #53 did not have special orders and should have been served with their table. LVN B stated that general the trays are placed in order of seating by dietary staff and are delivered one table at a time. LVN B stated she did not know why the residents were not served at the same time but will correct the problem. LVN B stated that it is a right and dignity issues and residents should not have to wait to be served while others are eating at their table. During an interview on 8/26/25 at 1:05 PM, DM stated that dietary tries to line up trays and serve out one table at a time but sometimes they do not know who will be eating in the dining room at each meal. The DM stated that dietary should pay more attention on who comes to the dining room and where they are seated so to be able to serve each resident at that table before moving on to the next table. The DM stated it is not right for one or two residents to sit while others eat, and they have to wait.
