Resident urges review of meal policy at county nursing home
Summary
A local resident asked commissioners to review how many free meals are being provided at the county nursing home and whether non-residents are receiving meals intended for residents.
During the public-comment period, Fred Kaye of Wolper asked the commission to review the county nursing home's meal-distribution policy after hearing reports that family members and visitors may be receiving free evening meals intended for residents.
Kaye said the facility has 103 beds and that, if a single person were to take both lunch and dinner, the number of meals distributed could be higher than expected; he urged the commission to ask the nursing-home administrator to clarify what the policy is and how many free meals are being provided weekly.
Chair and staff acknowledged the comment and indicated the administration would follow up with the nursing-home administrator to confirm policy and counts.
Ending: The commission directed staff to follow up with the nursing-home administration to verify the policy and meal counts and report back.
