attempt to supervise or assist the resident with the meal intake. It was observed that Resident #23
consumed one 4-ounces of juice during the meal and approximately 5-10 % of the Mechanical Soft /
Fortified Foods meal served.
It was also observed during the same meal observation that Resident #97 had severe cognitive impairment
and had position issues during the meal and would spill foods when attempting self-feeding onto his
clothing protector and large amounts of pureed foods remained smeared on the resident's face throughout
the meal. It was also noted that Resident #97 did not receive any individual restorative supervision and

Continued meal observations of Resident's #23 and #97 in the MDR on 10/22/24 (breakfast & lunch),
10/23/24 (breakfast and lunch) and 10/24/24 (lunch) again noted the residents did not receive any
restorative dining service that would include supervision and assistance for meals from the restorative
nursing staff.
On 10/22/24, an interview was conducted with the facility's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator
concerning the facility's Restorative Dining Program. The surveyor requested a list of residents currently
enrolled in the program and the restorative dining policies and procedures, that specifically addressed what
restorative programs the facility has, who is in charge of the program, what staff are involved, how are
residents are assessed to be enrolled into the programs, are physician orders required, what resident
documentation is required on a regular basis, how are resident evaluated to remain on the programs, and
evaluation of the restorative program on a regular basis.
On 10/22/24, the MSD Cordinator submitted a list of the residents currently enrolled in the nursing
restorative dining program. A review of the list noted that 2 of the residents listed were
discharged from the facility months ago and the 2 other residents currently enrolled were Resident's #23
and #97. The coordinator also stated that there were no current up-to-date policies and procedures for the
Nursing Restorative Dining Program.

Mental Status (BIMS) score was 13, which indicated that she was cognitively intact.
An interview conducted on 10/21/24 at 11:00 AM, in the resident's language, revealed Resident #82 said
that the language was a big barrier. When asked to explain further, Resident #82 said The ladies don't
understand me, and I don't understand them. The resident was asked to provide an example of an incident
when the language barrier presented a problem. She responded, if I want to request for my feet to be
moved into a more comfortable position, or if I need my pillow to be adjusted, the nurses do not understand
me.

During a second interview, on 10/22/24 at 11:50 AM, the surveyor asked the resident if she participates in
activities. Resident #82 said that she participated in the activities that she could understand, like watching
TV in her room. When asked if there's an activity that she chose not to participate in because she could not
understand English, Resident #82 answered, I can't see the movies because I don't understand them.
Record review conducted on 10/24/24 at 9:15 AM revealed that Resident #82s care plan was last revised
on 03/29/23. It was noted that no changes were made since its last review. The care plan stated: Resident
#82 has a potential for alteration in communication r/t (related to): use of psychotropics, Speech is clear
and easily understood and speaks mostly Spanish, patient [sig] uses a communication board. The Goal
listed in the care plan said that the resident will continue to voice needs to staff without difficulty through the
next review date. One intervention listed in this care plan documented that a Communication Board was
provided to the resident along with education on how to use the Board. It also said Resident verbalize to
therapist on understanding of the use of communication board. Keep call light within reach; respond to
communicated needs.
An interview with the Activities Director was conducted on 10/24/24 at 9:33 AM, who said that she knew
Resident #82 and that she had worked in this facility for the past four months. When asked if this resident
attended activities, the Activities Director responded, not necessarily and doesn't leave her room for
activities very often. She added that Resident #82 preferred to stay in her room. The Activities Director said,
She joined us 2 days ago in the activity room for coffee. She said Resident #82 preferred to be in her room
and watch TV. When the Activities Director was asked if she spoke Spanish, she answered No. In response
to how she communicated with Resident #82, the Activities Director said She's able to understand the
basics. I ask her simple questions like are you ok and she says yes. The Activities Director informed the
surveyor that there were no employees in the Activity Department who spoke Spanish, and she added that
she printed out monthly calendars of activities written in Spanish for the seven or eight Spanish speaking
residents. The surveyor inquired about showing movies in a group setting and the Activities Director said
that showing movies was an activity that she provided to the residents. When asked if she might consider
showing a movie in Spanish for her Spanish speaking residents, she answered Yes. That would be great.
During an interview with Resident #82 at 10/24/24 at 9:55 AM, the Resident #82 said she wanted to speak
more English and that she tries to speak English. She said she knew a few words in English. The surveyor
said in Spanish that she would attempt to speak to her in English. The surveyor said, I spoke to the Director
of Activities, and the resident shook her head. She did not understand. For that reason, the surveyor
continued the interview in Spanish. The resident was asked if she had a communication board. Resident
#82 pointed to a communication board posted on the wall next to the window. She said it was too far for her
to reach it. She added that it would help her if it was within reach. Photographic Evidence Obtained,
showing there was a communication board posted on the wall to the right of the window, that was out of
reach for this resident.
An interview with the Director of Social Services on 10/25/24 at 11:33 AM revealed that she spoke a few
words of Spanish, and that she called Spanish speaking employees when she needed assistance to
communicate with Resident #82. She was unaware that Resident #82 had a communication board.

On 10/22/24, the CDM submitted to the surveyor a nutritional tool utilized for the development of the menus
to be nutritionally adequate, and stated that an approved government tool was not utilized. Further interview
and review noted an Optima Solutions Menu Template Nutrition Summary that was outsized for the menu
development but the CDM explained to the surveyor that the facility menus did not included the required 2-8
ounces (16 ounce total) of milk per day.
The CDM could not explain why the minimum milk requirement was not included on the facility's Cycle
menus that included Cycles #1, #2, #3, and #4. The CDM additionally indicated that the menus would be
revised on 10/22/24. It was noted that the issues with the milk servings potentially affected 105 of the
facility's 113 residents.
2. During the review of the approved Cycle #3's menu for the breakfast meal, it was noted that all residents
were to be served an 8-ounce portion of milk which would include whole, 2 %, or fat-free.
Observation of the breakfast meal in the main dining room of 10/22/24 at 8:30 AM noted that there were 18
resident's in attendance for the meal.
Further observation noted that all of the the residents were receiving only 4-ounces of milk in a juice cup.
The milk serving issue was brought to the attention of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator who was
present during the meal service in the main dining room. The coordinator stated that nursing staff were
giving only 4-ounce cups for the milk serving and that a 8-ounce carton was utilized for 2 servings per 2
residents.
Interview with the Food Service Manger during the meal revealed that the staff should have issued 8-10
ounce large beverage cups for residents' use to ensure that an 8-ounce portion of milk was being served
according to the approved breakfast menu.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prepare food in a pureed form
designed to meet the needs of 2 sampled residents of 14 residents with physician ordered pureed diets,
Residents #4 and #110. The census at the time of survey was 113 residents.
The findings included:
Record review of the Nutrition Service Policy and Procedure effective 07/01/23, described the pureed diet
as able to be piped, layered, molded if able to retain shape, but should not require chewing if presented in
this form. The weekly menus that were labeled Spring / Summer Menus Week 3, from the Optima Solutions
Dietary Management System, listed a description of the pureed diet on each menu. It said: Holds shape on
spoon; smooth texture; No separated liquid; not firm/sticky.
In the dining room on 10/21/24 at 1:04 PM, Resident #4's lunch plate was observed with beef stroganoff
that was supposed to be pureed according to the diet listed on the meal ticket. The beef had small lumps in
it.
The surveyor then went into the kitchen and spoke to the Dietary Manager. Observation revealed that on
the tray assembly line at 1:05 PM, a dietary aide placed a plate of pureed Beef Stroganoff on a tray for
delivery to the unit. The plate with pureed Beef Stroganoff had a pebbly appearance. A spoonful of pureed
Beef Stroganoff was requested and tasted. The texture had small lumps and strings. The Dietary Manager
also tasted the pureed beef, and she agreed with this finding. The Dietary Manager removed the pureed
Beef Stroganoff from the serving area and gave it to the cook, and asked the cook to puree it to a smooth
texture.
Photographic Evidence Obtained.
In the Dining Room, at 1:25 PM, the pureed chicken on Resident #110's tray appeared to be lumpy. This
was brought to the attention of the Dietary Manager in the kitchen. The Dietary Manager requested a taste
of the pureed chicken and verified that the pureed chicken was not smooth. The surveyor also tasted the
pureed chicken which was not smooth.
Photographic Evidence Obtained.
