Summary

Two residents were not offered a clean or available table to dine with other residents in the dining room. During observation, both residents were seen waiting for other residents to vacate a table before they could sit and eat. One of the residents expressed frustration about having to wait for a table to become available. When the residents finally took seats at a vacated table, the tablecloth was observed to be covered with food debris from previous diners. A certified nursing assistant (CNA) confirmed that the residents had to wait for a table and acknowledged that staff should have offered them a clean, available table upon their arrival. The Director of Nursing (DON) also stated that all residents should have a clean table at mealtime and that staff should have directed the residents to such a table. The facility's policy requires all residents to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect.
