Are facilities required to provide for second servings of food at meal times upon request?
While rules do not address second helpings of food at meals, the provision of second helpings to residents on diets that are not calorie controlled is a “reasonable response”, as indicated in G.S. 131D-21(7), to this request. In addition, this is taking into account food preferences and customs of residents as required in 10A NCAC 13F .0904 and 10A NCAC 13G .0904. G.S. 131Dā21(1) is also applicable.
