Each year, almost 40% of nursing facilities in Minnesota get cited for failing to store, prepare, distribute and serve food under sanitary conditions…a deficiency issued as F-371, the 5th most common deficiency, …why is that?
This webinar will provide real-life examples of deficient practices uncovered in the five areas that most frequently support this deficiency:
