severe cognitive impairment, required extensive staff assistance with bathing, toileting, and transfers and
required supervision with set-up assistance for eating. Resident #125 received a mechanically altered diet.

facility received an anonymous letter on 06/06/23, which detailed concerns related to STNA #800 feeding
Resident #125 non-pureed food on 05/20/23 or 05/21/23. AED #292 stated the facility immediately initiated
an investigation into the allegation and obtained multiple witness statements. AED #292 stated based on
witness statements, the facility was able to substantiate the allegation that STNA #800 fed Resident #125
food that was not in a form that met the resident's needs. AED #292 confirmed the letter was received after
Resident #125 had expired. AED #292 verified no on-going monitoring was completed to ensure staff were
providing residents with diets as ordered.
Review of facility policy titled, Resident Therapeutic Diet, dated 04/02/19, revealed a pureed diet is a
regular diet that is mechanically altered for residents who have difficulty chewing or swallowing. All food is
to be pureed to a mashed potato consistency.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00143691.
