Findings include, but are not limited to the following: During the survey, conducted 09/08/26 through 09/10/26, the MCC was home to 34 residents. The MCC shared a kitchen with the attached assisted living community. The shared kitchen prepared and delivered meals to the MCC in bulk, and the unit CGs and MTs served out the meals from the unit kitchenette. Throughout the survey, multiple meal observations were made, and the following was identified: Staff were observed serving meals on large, plastic, high-rimmed bases, a component designed for a thermal meal delivery system, instead of using regular dining plates for main menu items. In an interview conducted on 09/08/26 at 12:30 pm with Staff 1 (ED/Regional Director of Operations) and Staff 5 (Culinary Director), both stated they were unaware the plastic bases being used were not acceptable dining plates. Staff 1 stated a previous dining director had ordered and implemented the bases to offer all residents a plate with a high lipped dish. The need to ensure residents were provided a homelike environment, treated with dignity related to dining services, and offered regular dining plates during meals was discussed with Staff 1 on 09/09/26 at approximately 4:00 pm. He acknowledged the findings.

Up to four residents at one time were observed during survey sitting in front of the TV, some sleeping. Three or four residents were observed sitting in the dining room at any given time, either sleeping, looking around, or drinking coffee, although the majority of residents returned to their rooms between meals. During an interview with Staff 8 (CG) on 09/09/26 at 10:00 am, the activity calendar was reviewed. Staff 8 reported there had been no activities person on the unit for about a week. Staff 8 stated that “if caregivers have time, they do it, but very slim chance they have time for that” and verified recently activities rarely occurred as scheduled. Staff 1 (ED/Regional Director of Operations) was interviewed on 09/10/26 at 11:25 am. He stated the activities director for the memory care unit was on vacation and no one had been assigned to run scheduled activities until the activities director returned. He acknowledged the lack of activities that occurred from 09/08/26 through 09/10/26. Failure to provide a daily activity program of social and recreational activities based on individual and group interests and physical, mental, and psychosocial needs, and that created opportunities for active participation in the community at large was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (RN), and Staff 4 (Resident Service Coordinator) on 09/10/26 at 12:30 pm. Staff acknowledged the findings.
