Facilities licensed for how many beds or more require a full-time person responsible for food service operations?

  1. 16

  2. 20

  3. 50

  4. 100

The correct answer is: 50

Facilities that are licensed for 50 beds or more are required to have a full-time person responsible for food service operations. This regulation is in place to ensure that larger facilities can provide consistent and quality meal services that cater to the dietary needs of their residents. A dedicated full-time food service manager can better oversee meal planning, food safety, dietary restrictions, and overall food service operations, which is essential for the health and well-being of the elderly residents. In smaller facilities, the operational demands might be manageable for existing staff, but as the number of residents increases, so do the complexities and needs of food service, justifying the necessity for a specific full-time role.
