Overview

Regency Gresham Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families seeking care, sitting in the top half of nursing homes in Oregon at #42 out of 127. Within Multnomah County, it ranks #10 out of 33, which means there are only nine local options that are better. The facility is improving, with the number of issues decreasing from eight in 2023 to seven in 2024. Staffing is a strength with a 4 out of 5 rating and a turnover rate of 31%, which is significantly lower than the state average, suggesting that staff are experienced and familiar with the residents. However, there have been some concerning findings, such as a resident reporting their room was excessively cold and not receiving adequate attention to this issue, and another incident where the facility failed to notify an ombudsman representative when a resident was hospitalized. Overall, while there are clear strengths in staffing and care quality, families should be aware of these areas needing improvement.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident representatives were informed in writing of changes in financial coverage for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#340) reviewed for advance beneficiary notification. This placed residents and their representatives at risk for unknown financial liabilities and lack of knowledge regarding the right to appeal the decision. Findings include: Resident 340 was admitted to the facility for skilled care in 2/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease. Resident 340's 3/2/23 Psychosocial History and Discharge Plan revealed the resident's family assisted her/him with decision-making and the resident was unable to make serious medical decisions for her/himself. Resident 340's 3/10/23 admission MDS revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired. Resident 340's undated admission Record (a document in a patient's electronic health record that summarizes important details, including patient identification, allergies and contact information) identified Witness 2 (Family Member) as the resident's Emergency Contact #1, Care Conference Person, Power of Attorney (POA) and Representative Payee (a person or organization who receives Social Security or SSI [supplemental security income] benefits for anyone unable to manage his/her own benefits). Although Resident 340 was identified as severely cognitively impaired in assessments, a Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) form was provided by facility staff and signed by the resident on 3/28/24. The form indicated the resident's covered services were scheduled to end on 3/30/23. According to the resident's health record, Resident 340 remained in the facility after 3/30/23 as a private pay resident after that date. No evidence was found in the resident's health record to indicate Witness 2 was provided with a NOMNC, her right to appeal the determination or notification of any other financial liabilities, including an advanced beneficiary notification. On 6/25/24 at 2:51 PM Witness 2 stated she informed Staff 12 (Social Services Director) on 2/27/23 she was Resident 340's POA and was responsible for making all medical and financial decisions for the resident. Witness 2 stated the facility never provided her with a NOMNC for Resident 340. Witness 2 stated she found out months later that the resident signed the form per request of the facility and accrued a bill ever since. On 6/26/24 at 3:00 PM Staff 12 (Social Services Director) stated Witness 2 was involved in Resident 340's care and was her/his POA. On 6/26/24 at 3:44 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) stated he issued Resident 340 the NOMNC and was present when the resident signed the form. Staff 1 stated he typically did not have a resident with a diagnosis of dementia sign the form but he did it in this case in the essence of time. Staff 1 stated he did not notify Witness 2 he had Resident 340 sign the form.

2. Resident 21 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including aftercare following surgical amputation and diabetes. A 3/7/23 revised care plan indicated Resident 21 was cleared to transfer to and from the toilet with limited assist of one staff. No additional details regarding her/his toilet use were provided. The 4/2023 Documented Survey Report indicated from 4/1/23 through 4/18/23 Resident 21 was continent and independent for toileting during evening and night times for 31 of 36 opportunities. On 4/17/23 at 2:57 PM Resident 21 stated she/he transferred herself/himself on and off the toilet from her/his wheelchair so she/he wanted her/his own option to clean the common bathroom/shower room toilet independently before use. Resident 21 stated she/he bought herself/himself a toilet brush which often disappeared from the bathroom and also utilized an alternative bathroom if the shower/bathroom near her/his room was occupied. On 4/19/23 at 9:49 AM the shower/bathroom near Resident 21's room was observed to have a shower chair in front of the sink with no available paper towels or toilet paper for resident use. On 4/19/23 at 9:50 AM Staff 5 (CNA) stated Resident 21 chose to use the toilet independently and did not use the call light to ask for any assistance in the shower/bathroom. Staff 5 stated she often cared for Resident 21 and knew the resident was particular about germs but unaware of her/his intent to clean the bathroom or her/his need for toileting supplies. Staff 5 revealed the bathroom was routinely cleaned only after showers but she and other CNAs were capable to assist Resident 21 with the cleaning of the toilet if informed. On 4/19/23 at 10:20 AM Staff 25 (Housekeeper) stated she supplied Resident 21 with toilet paper because paper products often went missing from the shower/bathrooms due to a resident who liked to take them. Staff 25 stated she did not believe anyone else knew she supplied Resident 21 with her/his own supply of toilet paper and provided it for about five months. On 4/19/23 at 1:47 PM Staff 6 (LPN) stated she was aware Resident 21 needed to carry her/his own toilet paper because of another resident who removed them from the shower/bathroom. Staff 6 stated she was surprised that not all CNAs were aware of Resident 21's toileting needs. On 4/19/23 at 2:18 PM Staff 26 (CNA) observed with the surveyor an alternate shower/bathroom near Resident 21's room where shower chairs impeded access to the sink and toilet. Staff 26 stated she was unaware residents ever needed to use the toilet independently in that room and extra shower chairs were often stored in that location. On 4/19/23 at 4:53 PM Staff 24 (CNA) stated she was aware Resident 21 needed a clear walkway in the shower/bathroom for toileting. On 4/21/23 at 10:09 AM Staff 2 (DNS) stated the shower room/bathroom cleaning was a process and the room may be dirty if any independent resident needed to use the toilet. Staff 2 also stated because of the current demolition of a storage area extra shower chairs were stored in the shower/bathroom. Staff 2 stated she was unaware of missing toilet paper and paper towels in the shower/bathrooms and confirmed Resident 21 needed toilet paper with her/him to use toilet. Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to accommodate resident needs for 2 of 6 sampled residents (#s 21 and 77) reviewed for environment. This placed residents at risk for lack of accommodation of needs and preferences. Findings include: 1. Resident 77 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including muscle wasting, falls and edema. Resident 77's care profile indicated Resident 77 was her/his own responsible party. An 10/15/22 care plan indicated Resident 77 was a high fall risk. The care plan indicated she/he had edema to both legs with interventions including to elevate her/his legs. An 4/3/23 Alert Note indicated the family came in to visit with Resident 77 and her/his family member stated the physician recommended Resident 77 sleep in the bed at an angle. Resident 77 was currently using the recliner to sleep. Resident 77 stated she/he would try to sleep in the bed. An 4/3/23 Skilled Services Note indicated the family wanted Resident 77 back in bed. Maintenance was aware and planned to remove the recliner and replace it with a bed on 4/4/23. An 4/4/23 Quarterly MDS indicated Resident 77's BIMS score was 13 which indicated she/he was cognitively intact. 4/12/23 and 4/13/23 Skilled Service Notes indicated Resident 77 was supposed to sleep in the bed and keep her/his lower extremities elevated. Resident 77 was non-compliant with this and slept in her/his wheelchair. On 4/20/23 at 6:01 AM Staff 19 (CNA) stated Resident 77 slept in her/his wheelchair at night. On 4/20/23 at 5:59 AM Resident 77 was observed in her/his wheelchair with eyes closed and a blanket on her/his lap. Multiple medical supplies and other items were on Resident 77's bed. On 4/20/23 at 11:17 AM Resident 77 stated she/he loved the recliner but was told the physician ordered the bed. Resident 77 stated she/he tried the bed once, but it was very painful to be in, so she/he slept in the wheelchair. On 4/20/23 at 10:42 AM Staff 11 (Patient Care Coordinator) stated the facility encouraged Resident 77 to use her/his bed and Resident 77's family member requested removal of the recliner. On 4/21/23 at 11:02 AM Staff 2 (DNS) indicated the facility would speak with the therapy department to see if it was okay for Resident 77 to use her/his recliner to sleep in.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident's missing personal property was adequately addressed for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#67) reviewed for personal property. This placed residents at risk for loss of personal items. Findings include: Resident 67 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including stroke. A 3/28/23 Quarterly MDS revealed Resident 67 had a BIMS of 15 and was cognitively intact. A 5/18/21 Resident's Personal Property Record indicated Resident 67 had two pairs of jeans. On 4/17/23 at 3:04 PM and 4/19/23 at 4:47 PM Resident 67 stated almost one year ago she/he had four pairs of jeans, but now only had two pairs of jeans for some time. Resident 67 stated all CNAs knew about the missing jeans, there was no follow-up to her/his concern and she/he was never shown a Grievance Form or Missing Item Report form to complete. On 4/19/23 at 4:53 PM Staff 24 (CNA) stated for about three months she was aware of Resident 67's missing jeans, thought the process was already documented and as a result provided no follow-up or additional reporting for lost items. On 4/20/23 at 3:19 PM Staff 3 (Patient Care Coordinator) stated around nine months ago Resident 67's brother bought two new pairs of jeans for the resident. Staff 3 stated Resident 67 indicated around that time the jeans went missing but Staff 3 immediately found the jeans, labeled them, but did not update the resident's inventory. Staff 3 stated she was unaware Resident's 67 jeans were still missing. Staff 3 confirmed Resident 67's inventory should have been updated to include four pairs of jeans, CNAs should have offered Resident 67 a Grievance Form or Missing Item Report form and inform Staff 3 the missing jeans issue continued. On 4/21/23 at 8:55 AM Resident 67 stated Staff 2 (DNS) found one additional pair of jeans in her/his room yesterday (three total) but still wanted the fourth pair of jeans found. Resident 67 stated no Missing Item Report was completed at that time and Staff 2 indicated she would follow up with the missing fourth pair of jeans.

On 4/21/23 at 8:43 AM Staff 33 (CNA) stated she spoke slowly to Resident 49, she/he understood sometimes and the facility did not have a translation tool to use to communicate with Resident 49. On 4/21/23 at 10:07 AM Staff 28 (RNCM) stated Resident 49 could understand some English, some facility staff were able to speak to Resident 49 in Ukrainian and the facility utilized a translator tool, but the staff were required to get approval from the administrator prior to each use.

Resident 52 was admitted to the facility in 1/2023 with diagnoses including stroke. Resident 52's communication care plan revised 1/12/23 revealed Resident 52 had aphasia (inability to speak) following a stroke and staff were to speak to her/him on an adult level, speak clearly and slower than normal and anticipate the resident's needs.

This placed residents at risk for lack of person-centered care. Findings include: 1. Resident 21 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including aftercare following surgical amputation and diabetes. A 3/7/23 revised care plan indicated Resident 21 was cleared to transfer to and from the toilet with limited assist of one staff. No additional details regarding her/his toilet use was provided.

Staff 5 revealed the bathroom was routinely cleaned only after showers but she and other CNAs were capable to assist Resident 21 with the cleaning of the toilet if informed. Staff 5 stated the care plan was not updated for Resident 21's needs or wants related to toileting. On 4/19/23 at 10:20 AM Staff 25 (Housekeeper) stated she supplied Resident 21 with toilet paper because paper products often went missing from the shower/bathrooms due to a resident who liked to take them. Staff 25 stated she did not believe anyone else knew she supplied Resident 21 with her/his own supply of toilet paper and provided it for about five months. On 4/19/23 at 1:47 PM Staff 6 (LPN) stated she was aware Resident 21 needed to carry her/his own toilet paper because of another resident who removed them from the shower/bathroom. Staff 6 was surprised not all CNAs were aware of Resident 21's toileting needs, acknowledged the information was not on the resident's care plan and stated residents' care plans were updated by the Resident Care Manager. On 4/19/23 at 2:18 PM Staff 26 (CNA) observed with the surveyor an alternate shower/bathroom near Resident 21's room where shower chairs impeded access to the sink and toilet.

On 4/19/23 at 4:53 PM Staff 24 (CNA) stated she was aware Resident 21 needed a clear walkway in the shower/bathroom for toileting but the information was not in the care plan. On 4/20/23 at 3:50 PM Staff 3 (Patient Care Coordinator) stated she completed some care plan updates but an RN was responsible for the oversight of the care plan. Staff 3 acknowledged Resident 21 often provided her/his own care by her/his choice including independent toileting in the shower/bathroom and her/his care plan should be updated to be more person-centered. 2. Resident 28 was admitted to the facility in 2015 with diagnoses including end stage renal disease (kidney failure) and diabetes. The 1/13/23 Annual MDS and Nutrition CAA indicated Resident 28 received dialysis and was at risk for nutritional deficits related to renal dialysis which occurred three times per week. A 3/6/23 Order Summary indicated Resident 28's dialysis appointment time was for 11:30 AM and pick-up time was from 10:32 AM until 11:02 AM with a return time of 4:15 PM. A care plan printed on 4/18/23 indicated to send meals or snacks with Resident 28 to dialysis. On 4/18/23 at 11:10 AM and 4/19/23 at 9:32 AM Resident 28 stated she/he often did not eat breakfast and food was not sent with her/him to dialysis due to increased precautions at dialysis over the last three years. Resident 28 stated sometimes she/he had lower blood sugar in the afternoon because she/he missed lunch due to the dialysis schedule. Resident 28 stated she/he often had to wait for food when she/he returned in the afternoon from dialysis. On 4/19/23 at 1:47 PM Staff 6 (LPN) confirmed no food was sent with Resident 28 to dialysis and at breakfast the resident received extra food because of the dialysis schedule. On 4/21/23 at 10:09 AM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed food was no longer allowed at dialysis and acknowledged Resident 28's care plan needed to be updated to meet her/his individual needs.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide restorative services at the frequency ordered to maintain or prevent a decline in range of motion for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#8) reviewed for range of motion. This placed residents at risk for worsening contractures. Findings include: Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 8/2016 with diagnoses including stroke, hemiplegia (paralysis of half of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness of one side of the body) of the right dominant and left non-dominant sides of the body. A 4/7/18 OT assessment noted worsening contractures of the right hand. A 4/12/18 physician order directed staff to discontinue PT services as therapy goals were met and refer to restorative program. A 6/20/18 physician order directed staff to discontinue OT due to meeting goals and refer to RNP (Restorative Nursing Program) for bilateral upper extremity passive range of motion to reduce risk of further joint contractures. The 1/29/19 Quarterly MDS Section G: Functional Status, indicated Resident 8 had impairments on both sides of upper body extremities and one side of the lower body. The Section O: Special Treatments, Procedures and Programs, indicated Resident 8 had seven days of active and passive range of motion (AROM and PROM) for restorative nursing during the look back period. The 3/4/19 Restorative Evaluation and Summary indicated Resident 8 received restorative services for ambulation and range of motion with goals to maintain current functional level and prevent decline of bilateral upper extremities. The 4/29/19 Contracture Screening indicated Resident 8 had contractures of the right shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers and thumbs. On 4/29/19 Resident 8 was observed to have contractures of all five fingers on her/his right hand and stiff appearing arm and fingers on the left side. She/he was in a wheelchair and used her/his legs for locomotion. Resident 8's current Restorative Care Plan included: - Ambulation within parallel bars (minimal assist) as tolerated up to two times per week; - Active ROM (range of motion) legs, Omnicycle (a lower body exercise device) two times per week for 15 minutes; - PROM of bilateral upper extremities all joints/planes two sets of 10 up to three times per week. The April 2019 Restorative Tracking Form lacked any documentation for the following interventions. - April 1-6: Ambulation in parallel bars; - April 7-13: AROM legs, Omnicycle and PROM to bilateral upper extremities; - April 14-20: AROM legs, Omnicycle; - April 21-28: AROM legs, Omnicycle. On 5/3/19 at 11:24 AM, Staff 20 (RA) reported the blank areas on the Restorative Tracking Form indicated Resident 8 did not receive restorative services or a resident refusal was not documentated. She was unable to recall if resident received or refused services. On 5/3/19 at 11:25 AM, Staff 21 (RA) could not recall if Resident 8 received services on the blank dates on tracking form. An interview on 5/3/19 at 12:07 PM with Staff 3 (LPN/resident care manager) revealed restorative aides were employed seven days per week and CNAs do not provide restorative therapy. If there were blank areas on the tracking form, the resident did not receive services or the services were not documented as refused.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors for 1 of 1 sampled residents (#287) identified with a medication error. As a result, Resident 287 received an antipsychotic medication on 10/28/18 and required admission to the hospital for monitoring. The facility identified the noncompliance and immediately initiated a plan of correction which resulted in staff awareness and education to ensure accurate identification of residents and no further medication errors occurred. This incident was identified as meeting the criteria for past noncompliance. Findings include: The facility General Dose Preparation and Medication Administration policy, last revised 1/2013, included the following: -Staff should verify each time a medication is administered that it is the correct medication, at the correct dose, at the correct route, at the correct rate, at the correct time, for the correct resident. Resident 287 admitted to the facility in 10/2018 with diagnoses including aftercare following left knee surgery. Resident 287 discharged from the facility in 10/2018. On 10/28/19 at 6:00 PM Staff 16 (CMA) erroneously administered Geodon (an antipsychotic medication) 100 mg to Resident 287. Staff 16 realized her mistake and immediately reported the error to Staff 11 (LPN). Staff 11 evaluated Resident 287 and notified the physician, the resident and Resident 287's family. The physician directed Staff 11 to monitor Resident 287 for adverse effects and send the resident to the hospital for any change of condition. Resident 287 later became sleepy and Staff 11 sent the resident to the hospital for evaluation. In an interview on 4/30/19 at 3:40 PM Staff 11 (LPN) stated on 10/28/18 Staff 16 erroneously administered Geodon 100 mg to Resident 287. Staff 11 stated she immediately evaluated Resident 287 and notified the physician, the resident and the resident's family. Staff 11 stated Resident 287 became less responsive and appeared sleepy and was sent to the hospital for evaluation. In an interview on 5/1/19 at 1:58 PM Staff 16 (CMA) stated on 10/28/18 she administered incorrect medication to Resident 287. She stated she realized her error and immediately reported to Staff 11 (LPN). Staff 16 stated Resident 287 was a new admit and a picture was not available and she identified Resident 287 by the room number. Staff 16 stated it was a mistake not to identify the resident by name and date of birth . Staff 11 stated she did not pass medications after the incident until she received two weeks of one on one training with Staff 37 (RN) and attended a four hour competency class for certified medication aides. Interviews conducted from 4/30/19 through 5/2/19 between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM with Staff 4 (LPN), Staff 5 (LPN), Staff 6 (CMA), Staff 7 (CMA), Staff 8 (CMA), Staff 9 (CMA), Staff 10 (LPN), Staff 11 (LPN), Staff 12 (CMA), Staff 13 (CMA), Staff 14 (LPN), Staff 15 (RN) and Staff 16 (CMA) identified all staff interviewed were aware of the five rights of medication administration.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 1/2019 with diagnoses including gastric bypass revision (stomach surgery), paraplegia (paralysis) and hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). admission orders dated 1/4/19 indicated Resident 2 was to receive a regular diet which included her/his food preferences of cottage cheese at lunch and one hard boiled egg at dinner. Dietary Profiles dated 1/4/19 and 4/4/19 indicated Resident 2 reported disliking fish. Resident 2's diet meal card dated 5/6/19 listed cottage cheese and hard boiled egg as food preferences. In an interview on 4/30/19 at 10:16 AM Resident 2 reported weight loss because she/he preferred not to eat certain foods. Resident 2 reported the kitchen served her/him cottage cheese at lunch every day but she/he had not received hard boiled eggs with dinner as one of her/his requested food preferences. On 4/30/19 at 12:15 PM Resident 2 was served a plate of food which included fish. In an interview on 5/2/19 at 11:00 AM Staff 39 (CNA) reported the CNAs were responsible to ensure residents food requests and food preferences were communicated to the kitchen but the kitchen did not always have the food. On 5/2/19 at 12:04 PM Staff 40 (CNA) delivered a meal tray with fish as a main coarse to Resident 2. Resident 2 told Staff 40 she/he only wanted the cottage cheese and a beverage. Resident 2's meal card did not identify fish as a dislike. In an interview on 5/6/19 at 2:25 PM Staff 30 (Dietary Manager) reported the CNAs were responsible for submitting residents food requests and stated she was new and just learning the computer system. 2. Resident 26 was admitted to the facility in 1/2019 with diagnoses including kidney disease and gout. Upon admission, a therapeutic diet was ordered to address Resident 26's kidney disease. The diet order was revised on 2/1/19 to include Resident 26's preference to receive soy milk over regular milk. A 4/24/19 Dietary Profile indicated Resident 26 reported liking fruit, but did not like fish. Resident 26's care plan and [NAME] (CNA care plan) did not include resident food preferences. On 4/30/19 at 12:06 PM, Resident 26 was observed with an untouched plate of food that included fish. Resident 26 stated she/he told the facility she/he did not eat fish and was tired of rice. Resident 26 ate a bag of candy and stated she/he would not ask for an alternative meal. Resident 26's meal card did not identify fish as a dislike. On 5/2/19 at 11:58 AM, Staff 33 (CNA) delivered a meal tray to Resident 26's room. Staff 33 reported Resident 26 received fish as the main dish. On 5/2/19 at 12:02 PM, Resident 26 was observed dining in her/his room. Resident 26's meal included fish, cooked zucchini, cooked corn, a dessert, a glass of soy milk. When asked about the meal, Resident 26 complained about having fish again and did not like the zucchini. Resident 26 ate the corn and took two bites of the fish, made a disapproving sound and pushed the plate away. Resident 26 proceeded to eat the dessert and drink the soy milk. Resident 26's meal card did not identify fish as a dislike. 5/3/19 at 3:59 PM, Staff 31 (CNA) reported if a resident had a food preference, it would be on the resident's meal card and sometimes on the [NAME]. Staff 31 reported Resident 26 had not mentioned food preferences to him. 5/6/19 at 9:42 AM, Staff 32 (CNA) stated if a resident had a food preference, she/he would tell the nurse or the dietitian. Staff 32 reported the preference had to be on the meal card, because it was used to prepare the resident's tray and if it was not on there, it would not get done. 5/6/19 at 1:02 PM, Staff 30 (Dietary Manager) reported food preferences must be transferred to the meal card and verified this was not done for Resident 26. Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to honor food preferences for 3 of 9 sampled residents (#2, 26, 48) reviewed for food concerns. This place residents at risk for unintended weight loss and decreased quality of life. Findings include: 1. Resident 48 was admitted in 12/2017 with diagnoses including major depressive disorder and diabetes. An 11/9/18 Dietary Profile Assessment noted the resident did not like cooked vegetables. The 12/20/18 Cognitive Loss/Dementia CAA identified the resident was able to verbally communicate with others and made her/his needs known. Resident 48 advocated for her/himself and was involved in care decisions. A 3/13/19 Dietary Profile Assessment identified the resident received chef salads each lunch, but had no food items which she/he disliked. At the time of the survey, the resident's meal card (which identified diet orders and resident preferences on the meal tray) showed Resident 48 received a controlled carbohydrate diet with no added salt and no allergies identified. The card further identified the resident received chef salads at lunch per preference and had no dislikes. In interviews on 4/30/19 at 11:52 AM and 5/6/19 at 11:16 AM, Resident 48 stated she/he hated cooked vegetables but was getting tired of the chef salads she/he had requested. The resident also voiced concerns about the small portions served of the main course which left her/him unsatisfied with the meal. When interviewed on 5/2/19 at 9:08 AM, Staff 36 (Kitchen Staff) stated staff did not always have sufficient food ingredients to serve all residents the same menu or to provide additional servings when residents requested. Frequent food substitutions were made. In a 5/6/19 interview at 9:36 AM, Staff 28 (CNA) stated Resident 48 often asked for more food. Staff 28 could generally offer cottage cheese, sandwiches or if available, more of the main course. The resident complained about the small main course portion the previous night which consisted of two small pieces of meat and onions. When interviewed on 5/6/19 at 12:28 PM, Staff 30 (Dietary Manager) stated when a resident identified a food dislike during the Dietary Profile Assessment, it would be reflected on the assessment and added to the meal card. Staff 30 was unaware of Resident 48's dislike of cooked vegetables and stated new dinner menus had resulted in small portions at the previous night's dinner. Additional vegetables and rice were going to be added to the dinner recipe in the future.
