F 0804 Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to prepare pureed foods by methods that conserve nutritive, value, flavor, and appearance for 4 (Residents #5, #7, #19, and #30) of 4 residents with physician ordered Pureed Diet with Pureed Fortified Foods. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: During the observation of the lunch meal in the main kitchen on 05/06/24 at 11:30 AM, foods located on the steam table were observed and were taste tested by the surveyor. Specifically, the Pureed Cheese Ham & Macaroni Casserole, and Pureed Sauteed Spinach noted to be very thin and watery in consistency. The taste test confirmed that the pureed foods were too thin and had a watery consistency. Interview with the Lunch [NAME] (Staff C) at the time of the observation was noted to state she was unaware that the addition of too much liquid into the pureed food mixture results in decreased nutritional value of the pureed foods, and negative appearance and taste palatability. Staff C stated no state specific training in pureed foods and food are this consistency on a daily basis. It was also noted during the serving that no pureed garnishes were being utilized to increase the pureed foods and/or entree plate appearance. Staff D stated that pureed garnishes have never be used on the pureed entree plates or other pureed foods such as breads and desserts. During the observation of the lunch meal in the main dining room on 05/06/24 residents being served the pureed diet were observed by the surveyor. Observation of Residents #19 and #30 were noted to be seated at the same dining room table. Observation of the main entree plate noted that all pureed foods (Entree, starch, and vegetable) were all running together and beginning to make a slurry from running together. It was also noted that the foods were so watery and thin that they were flowing over the sides of the main entree plate. The surveyor asked LPN (Staff E) who was going to feed the residents what she thought of the pureed foods and stated in front of the 2 residents that she could not eat that mess. The surveyor requested the Corporate Food Service Director (CFSD) to come to the dining room and observe the pureed meals served to Resident #19 and #30. The CFSD stated that the pureed foods were not acceptable due to thin and water consistency, poor nutritive value, and poor appearance and palability. The CFSD failed to replace the pureed meals with acceptable pureed foods for the lunch meal. Further observation of Resident #19 and #30 [NAME] the lunch meal in the dining room noted that Staff E took a spoon and mixed all the foods together into a watery brown consistency and began to feed the two residents. It also noted that Staff E failed to offer the residents some swallows of beverages between food bites. Both residents #19 and #30, stated they could not eat sufficient amounts of the pureed food slurry and consumed less than 25% of the lunch meal. During the lunch meal round conducted on 05/06/24 at 1 PM, Resident #5 was observed by the surveyor and it was noted the same thin watery purred foods. Further noted that Resident #5 was visually impaired and received no assistance from staff during the meal. The resident was was noted to attempt to eat the watery pureed food with her hands and spilled the mixture over her face, body, tray and floor. Observation of the breakfast meal on 05/08/24 at 8:30 AM noted trays served to the room of Resident #19 and #30.

Further observation noted that the breakfast meal tickets also documented a fortified hot cereal. Observation of the hot cereal noted to be a white watery mixture that did not resemble hot cereal.
