Facilities licensed for less than how many residents must maintain a sample menu on file?

The correct answer is: 16

Facilities licensed for less than 16 residents are required to maintain a sample menu on file. This regulation ensures that even smaller care facilities adhere to nutritional standards and provide a variety of meals that meet the dietary needs of their residents. Maintaining a sample menu helps in planning and preparing balanced meals, which is crucial for the health and well-being of elderly residents. It promotes transparency and can also assist inspectors or other regulatory bodies in assessing the facility's compliance with food service regulations. Knowing that the threshold for this requirement is set at 16 residents emphasizes the importance placed on menu planning and nutrition in elder care, regardless of facility size.
