MD if Resident #1 could have a diabetic order diet. Resident #1's MD responded to the request and said
yes, she could have an order for Resident #1 to have a diabetic diet. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at
9:45 AM, Resident #1's family member said Resident #1 had diabetes mellitus and GERD and was told she
was supposed to have frequent small meals and a diabetic diet. Resident #1's family member said Resident
#1 was supposed to have a diabetic diet and the facility could not accommodate her. She said she called
the facility on 11/21/2025 and inquired about Resident #1's blood sugars and was told her HGBA1C level
was a 9.6 (normal levels 4.7-5.7). She said when she asked about Resident #1 getting a diabetic diet, the
ADON told her the facility did not offer a diabetic diet, and everybody received the same diet. During an
interview on 12/11/2025 at 10:00 AM, Resident #1's family member #2 was at the facility and said when
Resident #1 was at home they had always eaten healthy. He said they were able to control Resident #1's
diabetes at home with her diet. He said since Resident #1 had been in the facility her blood sugars have
been out of control. He said they feed Resident #1 hamburgers, hot dogs and all kinds of things a diabetic
should not be eating. He said he addressed it with the facility, and nothing had changed. Resident #1's
family member #2 said he had not been invited to attend any care plan meeting since Resident #1's family
member had addressed concerns regarding her HGBA1C level. During an interview and record review on
12/11/2025 at 11:50 AM, the Dietary Manager said if a resident required a special diet the nursing staff
notified dietary, and they tried to accommodate the diet. The Dietary Manager said a diet order should be
completed and given to the kitchen. The Dietary Manager said she was not aware Resident #1 requested a
diabetic diet and required small, frequent meals, and she was not provided with a diet order. During the
interview with the Dietary Manager Resident #1's physician orders were reviewed and indicated Resident
#1's diet order had been changed on 12/11/2025 at 11:10 am after State Surveyor intervention, to a
diabetic diet (CCHO). During an interview and record review on 12/11/2025 at 11:55 AM, the RD said she
had not assessed Resident #1, because she had taken over the facility in October of 2025 and Resident #1
had not triggered for her to be assessed. She said triggers for residents to be assessed consisted of weight
gain, weight loss, and wounds which Resident #1 did not have. She said she would assess Resident #1
while she was at the facility that day. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 12:50 PM, the DON said she
changed Resident #1's diet order to a diabetic diet on 12/11/2025 at 11:10 AM after state surveyor
intervention based on the RD's recommendation of a diabetic diet. She said she had a verbal discussion
with the RD regarding Resident #1's HGBA1C level and the RD's recommendation was to change Resident
#1's diet order to a diabetic diet (CCHO). When asked if it was normal to have a discussion with the RD
regarding resident's lab values, she said yes, she called the RD at times to notify her of resident's lab
values. When asked why Resident #1's lab values were discussed with the RD on 12/11/2025 instead of
when Resident #1's lab values were received on 11/21/2025, she stated this was the first time the RD had
been to the facility since Resident #1's lab values were received. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 1:45
PM, the MD said he visited Resident #1 while at the facility on 12/11/2025. He said he changed Resident
#1's medication on 11/21/2025 when he was notified of Resident #1's HGBA1C level of 9.6. He said had he
known Resident #1 or her family wanted Resident #1 to have a diabetic diet he would have ordered it, but
he was not told. He said he did not think a diabetic diet was sufficient in managing Resident #1's diabetes.
He said he had previously spoken with Resident #1's family regarding insulin but they did not want her to
take insulin but said he was going to speak with the family again about putting Resident #1 on insulin.
During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 2:35 PM, the ADON said on 11/21/2025 Resident #1's family member
found out Resident #1 had a hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) episode and requested Resident #1 have a
HGBA1C level done. He said

Resident #1's family member called the facility and requested a diabetic diet, and he told her the facility did
not offer a diabetic diet. He said he was not aware the facility offered a diabetic diet and would go and find
out what that was. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 3:00 PM, LVN B said on 11/21/2025 she received
a call from Resident #1's family member asked about Resident #1 having a diabetic diet. She said she
explained to Resident #1's family member that the facility did not offer a diabetic diet. She said Resident
#1's family member got upset that they did not offer a diabetic diet, so she transferred the call to the ADON.
She said she did not know the facility had a diabetic diet, and she had never heard of a CCHO diet. Record
review of the facility's policy titled, Therapeutic Diets: dated 1/1/2025, indicated: Purpose: To ensure that the
facility provides therapeutic diets to residents that meet nutritional guidelines and physician orders. Policy:
Therapeutic diets are diets that deviate from the regular diet and require a physician's order. Per the
physician's order, therapeutic diets are planned prepared and served in consultation with the registered
dietician. The attending physician may delegate to a registered or licensed dietitian the task of prescribing a
resident's diet, including a therapeutic diet, to the extent allowed by state law. Record review of the facility's,
undated, Resident admission Guide indicated: Food and Nutrition Services: Our food and Nutrition Services
Department offers therapeutically planned meals that are specially designed to meet each resident's
nutritional needs. A registered dietitian will evaluate and review your diet and nutritional status on a regular
basis and will coordinate your nutritional needs with you, your physician, and the facility staff.
