I don't think there is any thing written that states this specifically (you can't assign seats in DR)at least not federally, but there are a lot of issues in the Dining room that come under Residents Rights, Quality of Life, and Dignity. Many time DR issues/problems identified by surveyors will be put under one of these categories. Holly McGran MSN RN
