Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and chart review, the facility, failed to provide the correct diet consistency, for the
Pureed diet observed during 2 of 2 observations for Resident #34. This had the potential to effect 10
residents on a Pureed diet.
The findings included:
A review of the International Dysphagia Standardization Initiate (IDDSI) Descriptions provided by the
facility's Speech Therapy Pathologist revealed the following: Pureed diet level 4: falls off the spoon when
tilted. It continues to hold its shape in a plate. It cannot be drunk from a cup or sucked from a straw. It can
be molded and does not require chewing. It has no lumps or stickiness.
A chart review showed that Resident #34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of
Alzheimer's Disease, Bipolar Disorder, and Depression. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated
[DATE] revealed a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score indicating Resident #34 is rarely
understood.
In an observation conducted on 10/07/24 at 12:43 PM, Resident #34 was observed eating her lunch meal
in her room. The meal ticket was noted to have the following: pureed chicken, mashed potatoes, pureed
broccoli, pureed bread, and pureed cobbler. The meal plated was noted with pureed chicken, mashed
potatoes, pureed broccoli, pureed cobbler, and pureed bread, noted with lumpy pieces and not having one
uniform consistency (photographic evidence obtained).
In an observation conducted on 10/08/24 at 8:43 AM, Resident #34 was eating her breakfast tray in the
room. The breakfast tray consisted of pureed fortified oatmeal, pureed cheese omelet, pureed ham, and
pureed bread, which was noted to have lumps and not one uniform consistency (photographic evidence
obtained).
In an interview conducted on 10/14/24 at 8:25 AM with Staff B, the Speech-Language Pathologist, it was
stated that the pureed diet should be smooth and creamy with no solid particles. It should not have any
lumps or pieces. According to Staff B, most of the pureed foods are bought by an outside company, and
only certain food items are prepared in-house.
In an interview conducted on 10/14/24 at 9:10 AM, the Food Service Director stated that Pureed bread is
not bought from an outside company and is made in-house. She further said that 10 residents are on a
pureed diet. When photographic evidence of the pureed diet was shown, she acknowledged that it was not
within the guidelines of a pureed diet consistency.
