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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to serve adequate food portions as documented on the menu and meal tickets. This failure has the potential to affect all 213 residents receiving food prepared in the facility's kitchen.
Findings Include: On 02/23/25 at 8:45 AM, surveyor entered kitchen and observed the breakfast tray line still in progress. Observed a 4-ounce ladle being used to portion out the grits and oatmeal for all of the diet (regular, ground and pureed) and a number 12-scoop used to portion out pureed toast. On 02/23/25 at 8:50 AM, V14 (Cook) stated she is the one who sets up the tray line with the serving utensils which should be used to portion out the resident's food. V14 stated she looks at the meal tickets to determine the correct portion sizes to be served. V14 stated the meal tickets do not say which serving utensil should be used, it only gives portion measurements. V14 stated for example, the meal ticket will read ¾ cup portion for grits/oatmeal, it does not say to use a 6-ounce ladle which is what we use to serve the hot cereal. V14 stated because she has been working in the kitchen for a long time, she knows which serving utensil gives what portion. V14 stated there used to be a diagram/poster guide which listed the different scoop numbers and the servings they each yielded but that is not up anymore. V14 stated, it must have fallen off the wall. On 02/23/25 at 8:57 AM, reviewed with V14 the serving utensils being used on the tray line. V14 observed the 4-ounce ladle being used to portion out the grits and oatmeal. V14 stated that is a 4-ounce ladle and it should be a 6-ounce ladle. V14 observed all of the pureed food items being portioned out with a number 12-scoop. V14 stated those are not the correct serving utensils and they are a mistake. V14 stated the kitchen should be using the correct serving utensils so the residents can get the full portion of food they are supposed to base on the menu created for them. On 02/23/25 at 9:00 AM, observed large container of different serving utensils including number ten scoops and six-ounce ladles. On 02/23/25 at 1:22 PM, V23 (Dietary Director) stated it is the cook's responsibility to set up the tray line with the correct serving utensils to be used to portion out the food. V23 stated they should be looking at the Diet Manual Spreadsheet to check which serving utensils are needed and that these are kept in a binder in the kitchen for their reference. V23 stated the Diet Manual Spreadsheets are based on menus which are created by and approved by a corporate Registered Dietitian. V23 stated it is important for the kitchen to follow the Diet Manual Spreadsheets to determine which serving utensil should be used to make sure the resident's nutritional needs are being met. V23 stated if the kitchen staff is using the wrong serving utensil when portioning out the resident's food then the residents may not be receiving enough food which as the potential to lead to malnutrition and weight loss. Facility provided list of resident's diet orders based on census on 02/23/25. There are six residents who receive nothing by mouth (NPO). Facility provide policy titled, Menus dated October 2019 which documents in part,
