This would be a result of the HIPAA privacy regulations that  went

Liza, thanks for your response. I am fully aware of the HIPPA  regulations.  
What I have not encountered in any other facility is a  situation such as this 
where people who are directly responsible for  providing food and liquid to 
residents cannot have the information they  need to do so in a safe manner.What 
I was wondering was if this has come  up in other facilities and how it is 
being  handled.
