Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on record review, observation, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure
residents had a dignified dining experience when residents were not served their meals at the same time
as other residents at their table. This affected one resident (#25) of 22 residents who were eating lunch in
the main dining room. The facility identified 18 residents who required assistance with eating. The facility
census was 59.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #25's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/30/15. Diagnoses included
contracture of left hand, aphasia, hemiplegia and hemiparesis, Alzheimer's disease, dysphagia, cerebral
infarction, heart disease, hypertension, dementia with behavioral disturbances, and major depressive
disorder.
Review of the physician orders, dated 01/09/19, revealed an order for pureed texture with honey thick
consistency.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 04/21/19, revealed Resident #25 was rarely or
never understood and was totally dependent on staff for eating.
Review of the resident's care plan, revised on 04/18/19, revealed the resident was at risk for aspiration due
to dysphagia, required a mechanically altered diet and was dependent for feeding.
Observation on 06/10/19 from 11:56 A.M. through 12:33 P.M. of the main dining room revealed Resident
#25, #26, #33 and #46 seated at a table. Resident #33 was provided her meal of mashed potatoes with
gravy, grilled cheese, cottage cheese and fruit. At 11:57 A.M., Resident #26 was provided her meal. At
12:01 P.M., Resident #46 was provided her meal. All three residents, Resident #26, #33 and #46 were
observed feeding themselves while Resident #25 waited. At 12:17 P.M., Resident #25 still seated at the
table with no meal. Resident #25 was observed chewing on her right thumb and hand while Resident #33,
#26 and #46 ate. At 12:21 P.M., State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #110 assisted Resident #46 with
reaching her french fries. STNA #110 looked at Resident #25 and adjusted her clothing protector. Resident
#25 still did not have a meal. At 12:23 P.M., the kitchen staff started delivering dessert of mint pie to
residents who had completed their meals. Resident #33, #46 and #26 were offered pie. Resident #25 still
did not have a meal. At 12:28 P.M., Resident #25 was still seated at the table with Resident #26, #33, and
#46. Resident #26, #33, and #46 had completed their meals including dessert and Resident #25 still had

and the other three residents at Resident #25's table were done eating. STNA #110 stated Resident #25
required physical assistance with eating so Resident #25 had to wait for staff to be available to assist her
before she could get her meal. STNA #110 verified Resident #25 had waited over thirty minutes and had
not yet received her food. STNA #110 reported Resident #25 always sat at the same table in the main
dining room and stated this was a longer wait than Resident #25 typically had.
Residents Affected - Few
Observation on 06/10/19 at 12:33 P.M. found Resident #25 was provided her lunch including dessert. STNA
#110 was seated next to Resident #25 providing eating assistance. Resident #25 was observed eagerly
taking bites of her food.
Review of the facility policy titled, Dining Choices, revised 03/05/18, revealed restaurant style dining was
available to residents during meals daily. Dietary staff members served the requested food items the
resident ordered and assisted residents as needed. The policy was silent to the timeliness of meals
provided to residents who required staff assistance verses unassisted residents.
