The surveyor will document the responses to assist in the evaluation process.
To ensure compliance with meal and menu requirements in an assisted living facility, the following criteria should be verified:
At least three nutritious meals daily with snacks available seven days per week.
Meals include seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables.
Menus are prepared at least one week in advance and made available to all residents.
Residents are encouraged to participate in menu planning.
Meal substitutions are provided of similar nutritional value if a resident refuses a served food.
Residents are informed in advance of any menu changes.
The facility does not require a resident to include and pay for meals in their contract that they do not want.
Meals are prepared according to the recommended dietary allowances in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, specifically the “My Plate Guide.”
Half of the plate consists of fruits and vegetables of all colors, with a preference for whole fruits and non-starchy vegetables.
One-quarter of the plate consists of grains, preferably whole grains instead of refined (white) grains.
One-quarter of the plate consists of protein, preferably lean sources such as chicken, fish, beans, or nuts.
Three servings of dairy per day are provided, preferably low-fat options.
During the survey, the facility’s adherence to these meal and menu requirements will be assessed to ensure compliance. The surveyor will review the menus, observe meal service, and potentially interview residents to verify that the facility is meeting these standards.
To ensure proper drug storage and labeling in an assisted living facility, the following requirements must be met:
Written policies and procedures: The facility should have written policies and procedures in place that cover various aspects of medication management, including requesting and receiving prescriptions, preparing and administering medications, verifying proper administration, documenting medication management, controlling medications, storing medications, monitoring medication use, resolving medication errors, communicating with prescribers, pharmacists, or residents, educating residents about medications, and disposing of medications.
Secure storage and temperature control: Drugs and biologicals should be stored in locked compartments with proper temperature controls. Access to the storage areas should be limited to authorized staff members. Additionally, documentation of refrigerator temperature logs should be maintained to ensure appropriate storage conditions.
Management of controlled substances: If the facility handles controlled substances, specific policies and procedures should be in place to ensure their security and accountability. These procedures should outline how the provider maintains control over the management, storage, and disposition of these substances.
Proper labeling: Prescription drugs should be stored in their original containers, which should bear a prescription label. This helps ensure accurate identification and prevents the use or sharing of medications intended for other residents.
To assess compliance with these requirements, the surveyor will review the facility’s drug storage and labeling practices. The surveyor will determine whether drugs and biologicals are stored and labeled properly according to the established policies and procedures.
During the survey process, if possible, the surveyor will observe the medication administration in order to verify that staff members are following proper techniques and administering medications as ordered. The surveyor aims to observe a minimum of 10 medication administrations by three or more different staff members, utilizing three or more different routes of administration, and occurring at three or more medication times. This observation allows the surveyor to assess the adherence to medication administration protocols and ensure the safe and accurate administration of medications within the facility.
To facilitate a smooth survey start, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) requires certain records and policies to be reviewed. The following is a sample list of items that you need to provide within specified time frames.
