Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to prepare pureed foods in a safe
form for the breakfast meal on 03/08/22 for 9 of 9 residents on pureed diets which affected 2 sampled
residents (Resident #20 and Resident #293).
The findings included:
Review of the facility's form titled Pureed - Dysphagia Level 1 documented the following: The pureed
consistency is planned according to the regular consistency, but the texture is modified to a smooth,
pudding-like texture for all food items. Pureed recipes are needed for each item that requires addition of
fluid and mechanical manipulation to achieve a pudding-like, smooth, lump-free, puree consistency.
Review of the approved breakfast menu for pureed diets for 03/08/22 showed that the following item was to
be served: pureed sausage patty.
Review of the facility's Diet Order Census dated 03/08/22 documented that 9 residents (including 2
sampled residents: Resident #20 and Resident #293) were to receive a pureed texture diet.
During an observation of the breakfast tray line on 03/08/22 at 7:40 AM, the pureed food items were
observed on the tray line. Closer observation of the pureed sausage patty revealed that the mixture was
lumpy and had visible chunks of sausage patty. At the request of the surveyor, the pureed sausage patty
was plated. Using a plastic spoon, the surveyor pressed down on the mixture and identified that the lumpy,
visible chunks of sausage patty were firm. When asked about pureed diets, the Certified Dietary Manager
(CDM) stated that pureed diets should be smooth in texture. The CDM stated that the pureed sausage patty
was made by putting the sausage patties into the blender. He further stated, Because it's made from a
sausage patty with fillers, there's going to be lumps in it. The only way to get it 100% would be to put it
through a strainer.
During an interview conducted on 03/08/22 at 1:20 PM, the Director of Rehabilitation stated that the facility
had regular diets, mechanical soft diets, and pureed diets. According to her, pureed diets should be smooth
in consistency and should not contain any pieces of solids.
During an interview conducted on 03/08/22 at 1:29 PM, Staff A, Speech Pathologist, stated that the facility
had regular diets, mechanical soft diets, and pureed diets. According to her, pureed diets would be smooth
in consistency so that there would be no chewing involved so that it would be easier for a patient with oral
dysphagia. When asked if pureed sausage with firm lumps would be considered pureed, Staff A said no.
During an interview conducted on 03/09/22 at 8:12 AM, the Dietary Consultant stated that the facility had
regular diets, mechanical soft diets, and pureed diets. She stated, Pureed is smooth, almost like baby food
consistency.
