Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the copy of the
advance directive (a legal document stating a person's wishes about receiving medical care if the person is
no longer able to make medical decisions) was maintained in the resident's medical record for one of 19
final sampled residents (Resident 33). * The facility failed to maintain a copy of Resident 33's advance
directive in the resident's medical record. This failure had the potential for the facility to provide treatment
and services against the resident's wishes. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Advance Directive
revised date [DATE], showed upon admission, the Admissions Staff or Designee will provide written
information to the resident concerning his or her right to make decisions concerning medical care; including
the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate advance directives.
During the Social Service Assessment process, the Director of Social Services or Designee will also ask
the resident if they have a written advance directive. If the resident has an Advance Directive, the facility
shall request a copy of the document from the resident or the resident's representative. It is the resident's or
resident representative's responsibility to provide the facility with a copy of any Advance Healthcare
Directive (AHCD) document (living will, health care proxy, or medical power of attorney), or other document
that could affect their care. If a copy is provided by the resident or resident representative, it will be placed
in the medical record. Review of Resident 33's medical record was initiated on [DATE]. Resident 33 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 33's Advance Healthcare
Directive Acknowledgment form dated [DATE], showed Resident 33 had no advance directive and did not
want information at the time. Review of Resident 33's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order
dated [DATE], for a full code (healthcare directive that all life-saving measures should be used if a resident's
heart stops or they stop breathing) and CPR will be given. Review of the Resident 33's H&P examination
dated [DATE], showed Resident 33 had no mental capacity to make decisions. Review of Resident 33's
Quarterly Social Service Progress Note dated [DATE], showed the information on how to execute an
advance directive was provided and Resident 33 had an advance directive on file. However, there was no
copy of the advance directive in Resident 33's medical record. On [DATE] at 0847 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was conducted with the Case Manager/SSD. The Case Manager/SSD
verified the above findings and stated a copy of the advance directive should be in the resident's medical
record and uploaded in the resident's electronic medical record. The Case Manager/SSD further stated in
the event when the resident had a change of condition, unable to verbalize their needs, or incapacitated,
the facility would be able to reach the resident's next of kin. On [DATE] at 1313 hours, an interview was
conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged
the above findings.
Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to provide the written Notice
of Medicare Non-coverage (NOMNC) form CMS-10123, and the Skilled Nursing Facility Advance
Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN) form CMS-10055 for one of three residents (Resident 15)
reviewed for beneficiary notification. The NOMNC and SNFABN forms are used to inform the residents of
their potential financial liability, appeal rights, and protection should they wish to receive care and services
that may not be covered by Medicare. * The facility failed to ensure followed up was made with Resident
15's responsible party to have him review and sign the NOMNC and SNF ABN forms. This failure had the
potential of not allowing Resident 15 and/or their representative to make an informed decision regarding
their Medicare servicesFindings: Medical record review for Resident 15 was initiated on 9/17/25. Resident
15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 15's H&P examination dated 2/25/25, showed
the resident had no capacity to understand and make medical decisions. Review of Resident 15's NOMNC
(undated) showed the effective date coverage of Resident 15's skilled nursing service would end on
3/24/25. The section for the signature of the resident or representative was blank. The document also
showed the Business Office manager (BOM) called Resident 15's responsible party on 3/21/25, notifying
the responsible party of the Medicare Covered Part A stay was ending on 3/24/25. Review of Resident 15's
SNF ABN showed Medicare doesn't pay for everything even some care that you and your health care
provider think you need. The Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage or its
utilization review committee believes that the care listed below does not meet the Medicare coverage
requirement. Beginning 3/25/25, you may have to pay out of pocket for this care if you do not have
insurance that may cover those costs. Further review of the document did not show the signature of
Resident 15 and/or the resident's authorized representative. Review of Resident 15's Optional Form to
Document Alternate Delivery for the NOMNC showed Resident 15's responsible party was contacted via
telephone call on 3/21/25, and via email on 3/24/25. In addition, the Confirmation of Refusal to Sign section
was blank. On 9/17/25 at 0906 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted
with the BOM (Business Office Manager). The BOM stated Resident 15's responsible party requested the
NOMNC and SNF ABN forms be sent to his email address. The BOM reviewed Resident 15's medical
record and verified the above findings. The BOM stated she did not have any documentation to show she
followed up with Resident 15's responsible party to have him review and sign the NOMNC and SNF ABN
forms. On 9/22/25 at 1300 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator, DON, Nursing
Consultant, and Chief Business Officer. The Administrator, DON, Nursing Consultant, and Chief Business
Officer were notified and acknowledged the above findings.

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of five
sampled residents (Resident 12) was free from unnecessary psychotropic medications. * The facility failed
to ensure the targeted behaviors for the use of Ativan (antianxiety medication) were documented prior to
administering the medication to Resident 12. This failure had the potential for the resident to experience
adverse effects from the psychotropic medication and unnecessary use of the psychotropic medication.
Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Behavior/Psychoactive Medication Management revised 4/2025
showed any order for psychoactive medication must include a specific behavior manifestation and the
residents have the right to be free from chemical restraints. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration revised 6/2025 showed the facility shall ensure the residents received the correct
medications in a safe and documented manner and a licensed nurse will document the reason for the use
of PRN medications. Medical record review for Resident 12 was initiated on 9/17/25. Resident 12 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 12's H&P examination dated 9/26/24, showed
Resident 12 had no capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 12's plan of care
showed a care plan problem revised 12/18/24, addressing Resident 12's use of the Ativan medication
related to her anxiety disorder. The interventions included to monitor, record, and document the
occurrences of the target behavior symptoms for the use of the Ativan medication. Review of Resident 12's
Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders:- dated 8/20/25, to administer Ativan 0.5
mg one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for anxiety manifested by agitation as evidence by
attempting to hit the staff.- dated 8/18/25, to monitor the target behaviors for the use of the Ativan
medication due to anxiety manifested by agitation as evidence by attempting to hit the staff and to record
the number of behavior occurrences. Review of Resident 12's MAR for 8/2025 and 9/2025 showed the
dates and times Resident 12 had received the Ativan medication without documented evidence Resident
12 displayed the targeted behaviors for the use of the Ativan medication:- on 8/2/25 at 1305 hours;- on
8/11, 8/25, and 9/16/25 at 1800 hours;- on 8/12 and 9/9/25 at 1700 hours;- on 9/1/25 at 1600 hours; andon 9/2/25 at 0720 hours. Further review of Resident 12's medical record failed to show documented
evidence Resident 12 displayed the targeted behaviors for the use of the Ativan medication prior to
administering the psychotropic medication. On 9/16/25 at 1013 hours, 9/17/25 at 0902 hours, 9/18/25 at
0836 hours, and 9/19/25 at 0834 hours, Resident 12 was observed sleeping in her bed. On 9/18/25 at 1411
hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 12 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1
stated Resident 12 had occurrences where Resident 12 would try to scratch or grab the facility staff. LVN 1
stated Resident 12 received the Ativan medication as needed for anxiety manifested by agitation as
evidence by hitting the facility staff. LVN 1 further stated if Resident 12 did not display the targeted
behaviors for the use of the Ativan medication, then the licensed staff should not administer the medication
because Resident 12 did not need the psychotropic medication and it could alter Resident 12's behavior.
LVN 1 verified the above findings. On 9/18/25 at 1442 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record
review for Resident 12 was conducted with the DON. The DON stated if Resident 12 did not display the
targeted behaviors for the use of Ativan medication, it was expected that Resident 12 would not receive the
PRN psychotropic medication. The DON verified the above findings. On 9/22/25 at 1315 hours, an interview
was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON were informed and
acknowledged the above findings.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, facility document review, and P&P review, the facility failed to ensure acceptable
parameters of nutritional status were maintained for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 7) when: *
A significant unplanned weight loss of 21.8 lbs., 10.2% in six months was not assessed by the Registered
Dietitian (RD). * The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) did not evaluate the significant unplanned weight loss of
21.8 lbs., 10.2% in a timely manner. These failures resulted in Resident 7's compromised nutritional status
not monitored and addressed timely, which had the potential to lead to further medical
complications.Findings: a. Review of the facility's P&P titled Evaluation of Weight and Nutritional Status
effective 2/20/25, showed: 1. The facility will maintain an acceptable nutritional status for resident per
professional standards by: a. Assessing the resident's nutritional status and the factors that put the resident
at risk of not maintaining acceptable parameters of nutritional status. b. Analyzing the assessment
information to identify the medical conditions, causes and/or problems related to the resident's condition
and needs. c. Implementing interventions for maintaining or improving nutritional status that are consistent
with resident needs, goals, and recognized standards of practice. d. Developing interventions involving the
resident and/or the resident representative to ensure the resident's needs, preferences and goals are
accommodated. e. Monitoring and evaluating the resident's response, or the last of response to
interventions. f. Revising or discontinuing the approaches as appropriate or justifying the continuation of
current approaches.Purpose: To ensure that residents maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status

resident. Significant weight loss (5% and/or 5 pounds in one month, 7.5% in three months, or 10% in six
months). 2. Clinical Evaluation: a. In connection with the assessments mentioned above, IDT will further
assess nutritional needs and goals of the resident within the context of his/her overall condition including
the following: .v. Nutrition prescription/macronutrients. Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on
9/15/25. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis (a
disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves), protein calorie
malnutrition (a condition where a person does not consume enough protein and calories to meet their
body's needs) and Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important
mental functions). Review of Resident 7's Weights and Vitals Summary dated 6/5/25, showed Resident 7's
weight of 191.4 lbs. (21.8 lbs. or 10.2% significant weight loss in six months, comparison to the resident's
weight of 213.2 lbs. on 1/7/25). Review of Resident 7's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed under

provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the appropriate care and
services for the use of the GT for one of one final sampled resident (Resident 3) reviewed for GT feeding. *
The facility failed to ensure the enteral water flush was programmed on Resident 3's enteral feeding pump
as ordered by the physician. This failure posed the risk for developing dehydration complications for
Resident 3.Findings: On 9/19/25 at 1425 hours, Resident 3 was observed lying on the bed with the GT
feeding infusing at 55 ml/hr. A water bag was observed hanging and dated 9/19/25. However, the water
flush (ml/hr) was not programmed into the GT pump to show how much water flush the resident was
receiving. Medical record review for Resident 3 was initiated on 9/19/25. Resident 3 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 3's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 3 had a
diagnosis of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and had a GT. Review of Resident 3's Order Summary Report
showed the following physician's orders:- dated 7/18/25, to administer Jevity 1.2 (type of enteral feeding) at
55 ml/hr via pump for 20 hours, turn on at 1400 hours.- dated 8/28/25, to administer the water flush at 70 ml

and nourishment. The interventions included to follow the current MD feeding orders. Review of Resident
3's Nutritional Risk Assessment V-8 dated 8/25/25, showed Resident 3 had an elevated blood urea nitrogen
(BUN - a test to assess kidney function) on 7/24/25, possibly due to medications or dehydration. The
nutritional intervention was to adjust the water flush to 70 ml per hour via GT pump. On 9/19/25 at 1456
hours, an observation, interview, and concurrent medical record review for Resident 3 was conducted with
LVN 3 in Resident 3's room. Resident 3's GT feeding was on. The GT pump showed the enteral feeding
was set at 55 ml per hour. LVN 3 was unable to show Resident 3's water flush was programmed into the GT
pump. LVN 3 verified Resident 3's physician's order to administer the water flush at 70 ml per hour for 20
hours via GT pump. LVN 3 stated Resident 3 received water flushes via GT pump to prevent the GT from
clogging and to hydrate Resident 3. LVN 3 was then observed programming Resident 3's GT pump to set
the water flush at 70 ml per hour. On 9/22/25 at 1315 hours, an interview was conducted with the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the failed to ensure the appropriate
dialysis care was provided for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 2) reviewed for dialysis
services. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 2's physician's order for 1500 ml fluid restriction was
followed and carried out accordingly. In addition, the facility failed to monitor the resident's fluid intake
accurately. This failure had the potential for the resident to not be provided with the appropriate care and
treatment, and possibility experience medical complications related to dialysis. Findings: Review of the
facility's P&P titled Fluid Restrictions revised on 4/21/22, showed the purpose of this policy is to ensure the
adequate provision of care and comfort measures for the residents who are in fluid restrictions. Under the
Procedures section, included the licensed nurses would do the following:- Initiate strict intake
measurements per physician's order.- Record any fluids given on the Intake and Output record.- Total the
amount of fluid each 24 hours and compare it against the Fluid Restriction Guidelines.- When a resident
has been placed on restricted fluids, remove the water pitcher and cup from the room. - Review the intake
and output summary weekly and address the adequacy of fluids and accuracy of documentation. Medical
record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 9/16/25. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with a diagnosis of end stage renal disease (condition when the kidneys can no longer adequately filter
waste and excess fluids from the blood) and required hemodialysis. Review of Resident 2's MDS
assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 2 was cognitively intact. Under Section O of the assessment,
Resident 2 was coded as having dialysis. Review of Resident 2's Fluid intake Task dated from 9/3 through
9/16/25, showed the documented daily fluid intake (only the meal trays during meals) from the CNA's
ranged from 250 to 720 ml per day, which showed the prescribed fluid restriction was not met. In addition,
there were some days with a missing fluid intake data. For example:- on 9/3/25, Resident 2 had a total fluid
intake of 510 ml;- on 9/7/25, Resident 2 had a total fluid intake of 250 ml and had missing fluid intake data
on different times of the day; and - on 9/14/25, Resident 2 had a total fluid intake of 310 ml and had missing
fluid intake data on different times of the day. Review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report dated 9/16/25,
showed a physician's order dated 8/23/25, for fluid restriction of 1500 ml per day as follows:* Dietary
department to provide 720 ml of fluid, and* Nursing department to provide 780 ml of fluid: - 130 ml for the
11 am - 7 pm shift; - 400 ml for the 7 am - 3 pm shift; and - 250 ml for the 3 pm - 11 pm shift. Further review
of Resident 2's medical record failed to show other documented evidence to show the fluid restriction of
1500 ml per day was met. In addition, the intake and output weekly summaries to address the adequacy of
the fluids and accuracy of documentation was not documented. On 9/16/25 at 1040 hours, an interview for
Resident 2 was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 verified Resident 2 was on fluid restriction per instruction
from the charge nurse. CNA 1 stated he measured the fluid intake from the meal tray of the resident on
each meal and recorded the amount on the fluid intake log in the computer. CNA 1 verified he only
recorded the fluids consumed from the meal tray of the resident. On 9/16/25 at 1050 hours, an interview
and medical record review for Resident 2 was conducted with LVN 4. LVN 4 verified Resident 2's
physician's order for the fluid restriction of 1500 ml per day. LVN 4 stated the CNAs recorded the fluid intake
of the resident consumed from the meal tray. LVN 4 verified the fluid intake of Resident 2 was not properly
monitored and documented. On 9/22/25 at 0818 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was
conducted with Resident 2. Resident 2 was in bed, awake and watching television. There was no water
pitcher observed on the side of the bed for the resident. Resident 2 stated he was informed by the licensed

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of
three final sampled residents (Resident 7) remained free from an accident/hazards due to the use of the
side rails/ grab bars. * The facility failed to ensure the informed consent was obtained and completed for
Resident 7's bilateral U grab bars. This failure had the potential to put the resident at risk for entrapment
and serious injuries. Findings: According to FDA.gov, deaths and serious injuries related to side rail
entrapment have occurred with the use of side rails. The FDA issued a Safety Alert entitled Entrapment
Hazards with Hospital Bed Side Rails. Residents most at risk for entrapment are those who are frail or
elderly or those who have conditions such as agitation, delirium, confusion, pain, uncontrolled body
movement, hypoxia, fecal impaction, acute urinary retention, etc., that may cause them to move about the
bed or try to exit from the bed. Entrapment may occur when a resident is caught between the mattress and
bed rail or in the bed rail itself. Inappropriate positioning or other care related activities could contribute to
the risk of entrapment. Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Rails revised on 5/30/24, showed the ordering
physician will obtain informed consent from the resident/ resident representative prior to the use of bed
rails. On 9/15/25 at 0943 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 7 was observed lying in bed
awake and verbally responsive. Resident 7's bed was observed with the bilateral U grab bars elevated. On
9/17/25 at 0951 hours, a follow up observation was conducted with Resident 7. Resident 7 was observed
lying in bed awake and verbally responsive. Resident 7's bed was observed with the bilateral U grab bars
elevated. Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on 9/15/25. Resident 7 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 7's H&P examination dated 7/24/25, showed Resident 7 was unable
to make her own medical decisions. Review of Resident 7's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE],
showed Resident 7 had a BIMS of 9, indicating moderate impaired cognition. Review of Resident 7's Order
Summary Report for 9/2025 showed a physician's order dated 7/28/22, for the bilateral grab bars for the
ADL care changes, mobility, positioning, and as an enabler. Further review of Resident 7's medical record
failed to show the informed consent was obtained for the use of the bilateral U grab bars. On 9/17/25 at
1059 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 6. CNA 6 stated Resident 7 used the bilateral U grab
bars for turning and repositioning while in bed. On 9/18/25 at 1026 hours, an interview and concurrent
medical record review was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 7 currently used the bilateral U
grab bars for turning in bed. LVN 1 verified the above findings and stated the informed consent should be
obtained for safety measures and updated when the physician's order changed. On 9/22/25 at 1313 hours,
an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON were informed
and acknowledged the above findings.

licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the pharmaceutical
services to meet the residents' needs for two of 19 final sampled residents (Residents 9 and 12) and one
nonsampled resident (Resident 71). * The facility failed to ensure the injection sites were rotated for the
subcutaneous insulin medication administration for Resident 9. * The facility failed to ensure the
administration of the divalproex delayed release tablet for Resident 12 was in accordance with the best
practice standards. * The facility failed to ensure the administration of the controlled medication for Resident
71 was documented on the EMAR. These failures had the potential to negatively affect the residents' health
condition and well-being. Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Subcutaneous Medication Administration dated 12/2015 showed to
administer a parenteral medication into the subcutaneous (under the skin) tissue in order to promote slow
medication absorption and prolong medication action. Prepare medication as follows:
- Select an appropriate site for injection.
- Document the injection site on the MAR along with the site used.
According to the Insulin Lispro (medication used to treat high blood sugar) Injection Package Insert dated
9/2023 showed for subcutaneous injection, administer insulin lispro by subcutaneous injection, rotate
injection sites to reduce risk of lipodystrophy (loss of fat) and localized cutaneous amyloidosis (skin
condition characterized by accumulation of abnormal proteins in the skin).
Medical record review for Resident 9 was initiated on 9/15/25. Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and was readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 9's Order Summary dated 9/16/25, showed to administer insulin lispro solution
subcutaneous before meals and at bedtime, inject as per the sliding scale: if 0 -150 = 0 no insulin; 151 200 = 2 units,; 201- 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301- 350 = 8 units; 351 - 400 = 10 units; 401 - 450 =
12 units, and call MD.
Review of Resident 9's Location of Administration Report for August 2025 for the insulin lispro injection
showed the injection sites were not rotated on the following dates and times:
- on 8/6 at 2149 hours, 8/7 at 1156 hours, and 8/7/25 at 1630 hours, the insulin lispro medication was
administered subcutaneously to the right lower quadrant.
- on 8/16 at 1137 hours and 8/16/25 at 1940 hours, the insulin lispro medication was administered
subcutaneously to the right lower quadrant.
- on 8/17 at 1158 hours and 8/17/25 at 1653 hours, the insulin lispro medication was administered
subcutaneously to the left lower quadrant.
- on 8/21 at 1147 hours, and 8/21/25 at 1707 hours, the insulin lispro medication was administered
subcutaneously to the left lower quadrant.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, facility document, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
menus were followed for eight of eight residents (two final sampled residents, Residents 10 and 28, and six
nonsampled residents Residents 15, 20, 24, 48, 54, and 59) who received a pureed diet when:1. The
pureed Curry Lemon Chicken recipe was not followed;2. The pureed Peas with Onions recipe was not
followed;3. The pureed Garlic [NAME] recipe was not followed; and4. The pureed starch recipe used for the
pureed wheat rolls was not followed. This failure had the potential not to meet the residents' nutritional
needs.Findings: Review of the facility's matrix dated 9/15/25, showed 76 of 77 residents consumed food
prepared in the kitchen and eight of the 76 residents received a pureed diet. 1. Review of the facility's P&P
titled Menus (undated) showed food served should adhere to the written menu. Review of the facility's
document titled Recipe: Curry Lemon Chicken showed one portion size was three ounces of the chicken.
Review of the facility's document titled Recipe: Pureed (IDDSI Level 4) Meats showed 12 servings; 12
servings of meat per regular recipe, 1.5 to 3 cups of warm fluid such as gravy, or low sodium broth. If the
meat is moist, you can start with only a few ounces of liquid. These amounts are only an average and may
vary, 0 to 6 tablespoons of a stabilizer, such as instant potato, non-fat dry milk, breadcrumbs, toast, instant
cream of rice or farina, or commercial instant food thickener. Directions: 1. Complete regular recipe.
Measure out the total number of portions (based on the portion size indicated on the cook's spreadsheet)
needed for pureed diets. 2. Puree on low speed to a past consistency before adding any liquid. 3. Gradually
