Food service is one of the basic services provided by the facility to its residents. Careful attention to adequate nutrition and prescribed modified diets contribute appreciably to the health and comfort to the resident and stimulate his desire to achieve and maintain a higher level of self-care. The facility shall provide residents with well-planned, attractive, and satisfying meals which will meet their nutritional, social, emotional, and therapeutic needs. The dietary department of a facility shall be directed by a Registered Dietitian, a certified dietary manager, or a qualified dietary manager. If a qualified dietary manager is the director, he/she must receive frequent, regularly scheduled consultation from a licensed dietitian, or a registered dietitian exempted from licensure by statute.
