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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow a therapeutic diet plan to one
of three sampled residents (Resident 2), when Resident 2 was served a hard to chew chicken burger at
lunch. This failure had the potential to negatively impact Resident 2's nutritional status.Findings: A review of
an admission record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in October 2024 with diagnoses
including moderate protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition that occurs when a person does not consume
enough protein to meet their body's needs), dysphagia (a medical condition characterized by difficulty
swallowing), and adult failure to thrive (a condition characterized by a significant decline in weight, muscle
mass, and overall health in adults). A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS; an assessment tool),
dated 7/23/25, indicated Brief Interview of Mental Status score was 15 out of 15 with intact cognition.
During an observation on 9/29/25 at 1:20 pm for the B-unit lunch tray pass, Resident 2's tray contained a
burger bun with a large, breaded piece of chicken, tomato slice, lettuce, macaroni salad, juice, and pudding.
During an interview on 9/29/25 at 1:30 pm with Resident 2, Resident 2 stated she did not eat her lunch
because she could not chew it and her upper teeth were broken, which made it hard to eat the chicken
burger. Resident 2 further stated the chicken meat was not tender enough to bite for her, and the meat was
hard and chewy. A review of Resident 2's therapeutic diet plan, dated 9/3/25, indicated Resident 2 was to
be served a regular diet easy to chew level 7 texture. A review of Resident 2's care plan, dated 9/23/25,
indicated Resident 2 had a swallowing problem and a potential nutritional risk related to underweight,
protein calorie malnutrition, dysphagia, and adult failure to thrive. During an interview on 9/29/25 at 3:58 pm
with the Dietary Manager (DM), DM stated if a therapeutic diet plan was not followed correctly, then there
could have been a chance that Resident 2 would have not eaten enough, and not eating enough could
have caused a lack of proper nutrition. DM further stated if resident 2 was not able to chew the food
properly, then it could have been a possible risk of choking. A review of the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P) titled, Level 7 Regular Easy to Chew for Adults, dated 1/2019, indicated, Do not use foods that are:
hard, tough, chewy, fibrous, have stringy textures, pips/seeds, bones or gristle. P&P further indicated, Meat
cooked until tender, if you cannot serve soft and tender, serve meat Minced and Moist.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store clean dishes in a sanitary
manner for a census of 109 residents, when: 1. A dirty dish with half-eaten food on it was found on the
shelves of clean dishes; and 2. A hot water jug stored in the clean dish area was found with dark brown
residue on it. These failures decreased the facility's potential to prevent foodborne illness among vulnerable
residents.Findings:1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/29/25 at 10:32 a.m. with the
Dietary Manager (DM) in the facility's kitchen, a half-eaten food item in a dirty cup was observed on a clean
dish storage shelf. The cup was placed next to clean dishes used by residents. DM confirmed the dirty cup
with half-eaten food was not supposed to be left in the clean dish storage area. DM further stated cross
contamination could have been an issue as well as pest control. 2. A review of an admission record
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in June 2023. A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS; an assessment tool), dated 2/26/25, indicated Brief Interview of Mental Status score was 15 out of
15 with intact cognition. During an interview on 9/29/25 at 11:30 am with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated her
fork for breakfast had a dried crusty residue on it. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/29/25
at 10:35 a.m. with DM in the facility's kitchen, a hot water jug stored with clean dishes was observed with
dark brown residue in its crevices. DM confirmed the jug should not have been stored with the clean dishes
and stated he did not know what the dark brown residue was, and crevices such as where the dark brown
residue was seen, could have had the potential to harbor bacteria. A review of the facility's undated policy
and procedure titled, Dishwashing, indicated, All dishes will be properly sanitized through the dishwasher.
Gross food particles shall be removed by careful scraping and pre-rinsing in running water. Flatware is to
be pre-soaked in a solution of water and detergent per manufacturer's instructions . Pay close attention to
prevent cross-contamination of workers going from handling dirty dishes and then clean . Wash hands and
change gloves whenever cross-contamination occurs. A review of the facility's undated Inservice titled,
Cleaning and Sanitizing Dishes, Utensils, Pots and Pans, indicated, Cleaning and sanitizing food handling
equipment, utensils, food contact surfaces, and food storage areas are vital in keeping food wholesome and
safe to consume. The Inservice further indicated, Cleaning is the removal of soils, tarnishes, or stains from
countertops, equipment, pots, pans, or dishes . Sanitizing is the process of reducing the number of
microorganisms on a surface to safe levels so that they cannot cause disease or food spoilage . Everything
in your operation must be kept clean; however, any surface that comes in contact with food must also be
cleaned and sanitized.
