Findings include Observation and interview on 10/04/23 at 11:53 A.M. to 12:10 P.M. revealed Dietary staff #292 made puree food for five residents (Resident #6,#25,#70,#74, and #88). Dietary staff revealed she aimed for a mashed potato consistency for pureed food. She revealed for the rice she started a ½ cup scoop for each serving and made six servings with about ½ cup of water. She then added two tablespoon scoops of thickener. Dietary staff stated she thought this was a good consistency. Surveyor asked to do a taste test for texture and taste and dietary staff completed taste test and stated oh that tastes like paste. The texture was gummy and sticky with full grains of rice still present and visible. Dietary staff then added another ½ cup of water to loosen it up. She then blended the mixture and a second taste test was completed. Dietary staff confirmed rice mixture still had chunks of grains of rice and dietary staff revealed this was probably the best it would get and revealed she would serve it.
