VETERANS HOME OF CALIFORNIA — BARSTOW — CDPH INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE FACILITY WAS FAILING TO SERVE DIABETIC MEALS TO ITS DIABETIC PATIENTS AS ORDERED BY THEIR DOCTORS

A therapeutic diet is a diet prescribed to a patient to meet the nutritional needs of that patient. For example, heart patients are often prescribed a low sodium diet and elderly patients are often prescribed a diet high in protein (helpful for many things including healing from wounds). Therapeutic diets are particularly important for diabetic patients to help stabilize their blood-sugar levels. An investigation conducted by the CDPH revealed that, in violation of Title 42, Veterans Home of California-Barstow (an SNF operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs) was not serving therapeutic diets to diabetic patients as ordered by their doctors; instead, the patients were being given deserts high in sugar. See below for more information about Veterans Home of California-Barstow.
