Residents in care can't skip a meal — not even one
Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities serve residents who depend on carefully prepared meals as part of their daily medical care. Many residents require therapeutic diets, texture-modified meals, pureed foods, and timed feeding schedules that cannot be replicated by outside caterers or improvised service. When the kitchen goes offline for renovation or equipment failure, every missed or substandard meal is a regulatory violation and a risk to resident health.
