And if they are on Medicare A, they must be allowed to go to the greasy spoon or this is a violation of their rights also.   And if the menus are posted on the wall (at the facility, the resident's home or the  greasy spoon), they must be flame retardant paper that meets all local, state, federal and interplanetary fire codes.     HS Holly F.

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.
