V9 said hard pizza crust, hard breadsticks, and shredded lettuce were not appropriate to be served to residents requiring a mechanical soft diet.The facility's 2022 Pureed policy documented in part .The Pureed Diet is designed for those individuals who have difficulty swallowing or cannot chew foods of the dental soft consistency. Foods that cannot be adequately pureed are substituted or altered as indicated on the menu spreadsheet. Pureed regular bread and specialty breads such as corn bread, muffins, garlic bread, etc., continue to be pureed as a separate menu item. Add measured amounts of hot liquid for cooked foods and cold liquid for cold foods (if required) and process until there is a smooth, pudding-like or smooth mashed potato consistency. Please note: some menu items do not require any liquid added during the pureeing process in order to achieve the desired pureed consistency.The facility's 2022 Dental Soft (Mechanical Soft) policy documented in part .This consistency modified diet is for individuals with limited or difficulty in chewing regular textured foods. As with any diet modification, this diet should be individualized to meet the resident's needs and chewing abilities. Generally, the diet consists of food of nearly regular textures but eliminates very hard, sticky, crunchy or hard to chew foods. Foods should be moist and fork tender. Meat is ground or chopped into bite-size pieces (1/2 inch or smaller) and should be held with a minimal amount of prepared broth, gravy, or other type of moistening agent (NO WATER) to keep the product moist. Hot ground meats should be topped with gravy or sauce at the point of service. Dry, hard crusty breads are excluded.The facility's November 2015 Therapeutic Diets policy documented in part .Therapeutic diets shall be prescribed by the Attending Physician. 1. Mechanically altered diets, as well as diets modified for medical or nutritional needs, will be considered therapeutic diets. Examples of therapeutic diets include: a. Diabetic/ calorie controlled diet; b. Low sodium diet; and c. Altered consistency diet. 2. Diet will be determined in accordance with the resident's informed choices, preferences, treatment goals and wishes. Diagnosis alone will not determine whether the resident is prescribed a therapeutic diet. 6. Routine menus are planned by the Food Services Manager, and approved by a Registered Dietitian for nutritional adequacy. The Food Service Manager will establish and use a tray identification system to ensure that each resident receives his or her diet as ordered.
