This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

Failure to ensure dietary staff meet the nutritional needs of residents in accordance with established national guidelines has the potential to affect residents' clinical outcomes. Serving the correct diet ensures safety, supports healing, and protects resident rights.The findings include: A tour of the kitchen was conducted on 11/19/2025 at 11:00 AM. During the tour, tray line observations revealed the following: One meal ticket read: Regular large protein, 3 ounces (oz.)

An observation of Resident #62's meal ticket on the 200 hallway read: Regular, double protein TID (three times a day), 3 oz. There was no difference in the amount of protein provided for the regular, large protein, 3 oz., regular, double protein TID, 3 oz., or regular 3 oz plates. A review of Resident #62's nutritional assessment, dated 9/3/2025, revealed a regular diet, regular texture with thin liquids and double protein portions for all meals. The resident's meal ticket documented regular, double protein TID, 3oz. A review of Resident #136's nutritional assessment, dated 11/14/2025, revealed staff were to add large protein portions to all meals, TID, to promote wound healing. The resident's meal ticket documented regular, large protein 3 oz.
