Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility (Facility 1) failed to clarify and continue the therapeutic
diet (a specially prescribed meal plan that modifies normal eating to treat a medical condition, managing
nutrients, calories, textures, or allergies for health improvement, often prescribed by doctors and planned by
dietitians for things like diabetes, heart disease, kidney issues, or post-surgery recovery) for one (1) of four
(4) sampled residents (Resident 1) upon admission to the facility on 9/19/2025. This failure resulted in
Resident 1 receiving the incorrect diet for three (3) days (9/19/2025 to 9/23/2025) upon admission to the
facility.During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of chronic (long-term) congestive heart failure (a
condition where the heart muscles become too weak or stiff to pump blood efficiently causing fluid to back
up in the lungs and body) and Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in
mental abilities). During a review of Resident 1'S Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool),
dated 9/25/2025, the MDS indicated the resident was severely impaired (never/rarely made decision) with
cognitive (ability to think, remember, and reason) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated,
Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity. Or, the assistance of two [2] or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity)
with walking 50 feet, going from lying down to sitting on the side of the bed, rolling left and right in bed,
upper and lower body dressing (the ability to dress and undress above and below the waist), putting
on/taking off footwear, personal hygiene and eating. It also indicated, Resident 1 needed
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with walking 10 feet,
chair/bed-to-chair transfers and going from sitting to standing.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 1/27/2026 at 1:25 PM with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 1's Order Summary
Report dated 9/19/2025 was reviewed. Resident 1's Order Summary Report indicated an order from
9/19/2025 at 2:36 PM indicating the order confirmed by ADON for pureed diet (foods blended, whipped or
mashed into a smooth, thick, pudding-like consistency that requires no chewing), pureed texture, thin
liquids consistency (the consumption of liquids that have the same consistency as water an flow quickly
requiring no thickeners to be added). ADON stated when she received report from Resident 1's previous
skilled nursing facility (SNF 2), the report she received from an unknown staff member was that Resident 1
was on a pureed diet. During an interview on 1/27/2026 at 3:45 PM with SNF 2's Registered Nurse (RN),
RN stated Resident 1's diet upon discharge from their facility was fortified (foods that have vitamins and
minerals added to them that are not naturally present or were lost during processing and aims to improve
nutritional quality, boost nutrient density), soft and bite sized texture and thin liquids.During an interview on
1/27/2026 at 4:11 PM with ADON, ADON stated on 9/19/2025 when she was receiving report from an

unknown staff member from SNF 2, she was told that Resident 1 would need one on one feeding
assistance and was on a pureed diet. ADON stated a speech therapy (ST) evaluation (a clinical
assessment to determine if a person can eat and drink safely without choking, or inhaling food into their
lungs) was then ordered on 9/22/2025 when Resident 1's family member told them Resident 1 was not on a
pureed diet at SNF 2. During a review of Resident 1's ST Evaluation Note dated 9/23/2025, Resident 1's ST
Evaluation Note indicated the ST screen was completed per nursing for a possible diet upgrade and a by
mouth trial of ground mechanical soft (tender, chopped and ground foods designed to require minimal
chewing and easier swallowing)/thin liquids consistency was given without any signs or symptoms of
Resident 1 aspirating (the accidental breathing in of food, liquid, or stomach contents in the airway and
lungs instead of swallowing them). The ST Evaluation Note also indicated Resident 1's diet was upgraded
to ground mechanical soft texture. During a review of Resident 1's SNF 2 Order Summary Report dated
9/19/2025, Resident 1's SNF 2 Order Summary Report indicated Resident 1's diet for fortified diet, soft and
bite sized texture, thin consistency and liberalized diet (a nutrition approach that relaxes strict dietary
restrictions to allow for more freedom, flavor and enjoyment of food). During an interview on 1/28/2026 at
12:36 PM with ADON, ADON stated when a resident is transferred from another facility, the resident's diet
is checked against the verbal report from SNF 2's staff they are given along with a copy of the physician
orders that came with the resident. ADON stated when Resident 1 was transferred, only the resident's
facesheet (admission record) and medication list were received and did not contain Resident 1's order
summary report indicating any diet order and the only information she had received regarding Resident 1's
diet was through verbal report. ADON further stated a last set of orders should have been sent when
Resident 1 was transferred and since it wasn't received, she should have requested the documentation
from SNF 2 to ensure all physician's/ discharge orders were reconciled (the structured, formal process of
comparing a patient's current, comprehensive medication list [including home meds, OTCs, and
supplements] with new orders at every transition of care [admission, transfer, discharge]. It aims to prevent
errors like omissions, duplications, or interactions, ensuring safe, accurate, and continued care) for
continuity of care for Resident 1. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/28/2026 at 2:10 PM
with ADON, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Transfer Record/Transfer or Discharge
Documentation, revised 4/2025 was reviewed. The P&P indicated admission of resident from another health
care facility the transfer record: content should at least include the nursing; dietary and social information
should be received with the resident. ADON stated because they did not receive all the records for Resident
1 when the resident was admitted from SNF 2 on 9/19/2025, the missing records should have been
requested by the licensed nurse from SNF 2. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Transfer
Record/Transfer or Discharge Documentation, revised 4/2025, the P&P indicated, A transfer Record that is
complete and accurate with resident information in sufficient detail to provide for continuity of care shall be
transferred with the resident at the time of the transfer to another health care facility. The P&P further
indicated, If the specified records are not received, the health information staff is to contact the facility's
Discharge Planner or health information department to request these copies STAT (as soon as possible).
