Each nursing home must maintain:

1. A listing of all paid dining assistants employed at the facility and the number of hours worked;
2. For each individual paid dining assistant:
   1. Verification of successful completion of an approved paid dining assistant training course and competency evaluation; and
   2. Verification that the facility has made checks with the Nurse Aide Registry, the Adult Protective Services Central Registry, and the Child Central Registry if applicable.

Facilities who utilize paid dining assistants must have policies and procedures that address how supervision of paid dining assistants will occur and how paid dining assistants will be identified as single task workers for the purposes of the paid dining assistant regulations.
