However, the resident had been in the hospital from [DATE] through 08/22/19 and from 08/28/19 through 09/03/19. In September the activity participation records log revealed the resident had three room visits, watched television (resident was blind) and was offered an independent activity four times (09/12/19, 09/21/19, 09/23/19 and 09/24/19) which the resident refused.

Interview on 09/26/19 at 12:53 P.M. with AA #802 and the administrator verified the activity log was accurate and that that the activities documented were what had been offered to Resident #149. Interview on 09/26/19 at 3:23 P.M. with Activity Director #803 revealed she had started as activity director this week and had not worked with Resident #149. Activity Director #803 stated she went in to talk with Resident #149 today and asked Resident #149 about music therapy or audio books. The resident stated she did not like the person who came in for music therapy and she did not want him to visit again. The resident said she might be interested in audio books. Activities Director #803 stated she was trying to think of other things the resident might enjoy. She would be bringing new activities to the facility. The facility did not have audio books but Activity Director #803 indicated they should be able to get some on loan from the library.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure mechanical soft meat was prepared to the appropriate consistency. This had the potential to affect 36 of 36 residents who received mechanical soft diets (Residents #102, #40, #202, #21, #71, #76, #41, #89, #87, #68, #91, #75, #70, #109, #20, #11, #150, #143, #33, #83, #57, #47, #122, #14, #43, #154, #8, #53, #121, #51, #101, #131, #208, #4, #38, #206) and 36 of 148 residents who ate meals prepared in the kitchen.

Findings include: Observation on 09/24/19 from 4:30 P.M. to 4:35 P.M. of tray line with Dietary [NAME] (DC) #806 revealed the mechanical soft meat appeared to be chopped chicken roast. Review of the menu extension sheet revealed the chicken roast should have been ground. DC #806 stated the chicken came chopped up and he just chopped it up more with a spoon. At this time Dietary Manager (DM) #804 verified on the menu extension the chicken roast should be ground. Interview on 09/24/19 at 4:45 P.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #805 confirmed the menu extension sheets indicated the chicken roast should be ground for the mechanical soft diets. During observation and interview at this time RD #805 stated the chopped chicken was a little chunky and asked DC #806 if he ran it through the Robocoup (food processor). DC #806 replied, no. RD #805 then asked DC #806 to run the chopped chicken through Robocoup.
