sometimes staff needed to help Resident #1 with her meal the whole mealtime.

Interview on 11/06/25 at 11:52 AM, SLP revealed he worked with Resident #1 and not Resident #2. He revealed Resident #1 needed help with eating at mealtimes. He revealed it was important for Resident #1 to receive help at mealtimes so she could receive proper nutrition, and it would be a safety issue if she did not receive help.
