Re: Immediate Jeopardy "K"

Let's see - to make it home like, if the cook won't cook what you want, you could go out to eat or marry another cook so I guess we could put them all in a van that is hopefully the van of everyone's choice (the residents, the government, etc.) and go to a local greasy spoon and they can get an over easy egg that they bought from the same place we get our eggs.  But of course the eggs at the greasy spoon don't have the potential of salmonella as they did eaten in our facility!!  (Forgive me, I have spent a week with a survey team made up of 8 State surveyors, 2 Federal surveyors plus a pharmacist and Life Safety that floated in for a day each in a small facility that has only 73 residents! - I have a right to cynical, insane, irrational and ready for a nap today!)    ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Immediate Jeopardy "K"   In CA we had residents sign waivers for soft cooked eggs.  Then the Department of Health Services sent a memo that this was not allowed. Delores Lets see, was the res alert ,is it documented that she is aware that soft undercooked yellow in an egg may cause salmonella, is she aware of the risks,is it care planned? Its just awful the things you have to do to give a res what the want. The state often says they want the facility to be home like. Who has to jump through all theses hoops to get an over easy egg!!!!   Christine Delores L.
