Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure speech therapy
recommendations were followed for a resident who was known to pocket her food and was at risk for
aspiration. This affected one (#33) of three residents reviewed for aspiration risk.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident #33's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included dementia with behavioral disturbances and generalized anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident #33's physician's orders revealed she was on a smooth, pureed textured diet. The diet
order specified she was to receive lemon ice with every meal and every bite. The order originated on
04/28/23. A diet clarification order dated 04/28/23 revealed the resident was to have a smooth pureed diet.
They were instructed to place lemon ice on the tip of the spoon for every bite of solid food to stimulate
swallow and decrease pocketing/ holding of bolus. Speech therapy services ended on 05/04/23.
A review of Resident #33's speech therapy discharge summary report for a date of service between
04/21/23 and 05/04/23 revealed the resident's diagnoses included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The
discharge recommendations under strategies revealed the strategies were recommended to facilitate safety
and efficiency. It was recommended the resident use the following strategies during oral intake: lemon ice
as antecedent (a thing or event that existed before or logically proceeds another), rate modification, bolus
size modifications, and alternation of liquids/ solids.
On 05/11/23 at 11:48 A.M., an observation of the lunch meal service revealed Resident #33 was served
her meal in the dining room. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #12 was observed to sit next to the
resident and assist her and another resident with their meal. Resident #33 was noted to receive a pureed
diet with a cup of frozen lemon ice on her tray. STNA #12 spoon fed the resident offering her the pureed
vegetables and the pureed meat that was served on her tray. The STNA would alternate bites of food with
drinks of the beverage that was served with her meal. She was not noted to use the lemon ice with each
bite of food as directed by the speech therapist in the resident's physician's orders/ diet order clarification
given on 04/28/23. Several bites were observed of the resident just being given bites of her food without the
lemon ice as ordered.
On 05/11/23 at 1:45 P.M., an interview with STNA #12 revealed Resident #33 was supposed to be on a
pureed diet and received regular liquids with her meals. They had lemon ice on her tray for her and the
resident had a tendency not to want to swallow. She stated the lemon ice was to be used if they noticed the
resident was not swallowing her food. The resident was known to pocket her food a lot.

On that day, the resident was very alert and they only had to tell her to swallow her food several times. She
claimed she did give the resident bites of the lemon ice to help her swallow, but was giving it to her in
between bites of food and only to try to keep her routine consistent. She denied she put the lemon ice on
the tip of the spoon with every bite as was ordered per the speech therapist's recommendations. She was
not aware they were instructed to do that. It was passed to her on how to use the lemon ice by another
aide. She was only told to give the lemon ice to the resident after each bite and not a little with each bite as
was specified in her physician's orders. She denied she received any instruction from the speech therapist
herself.
On 05/11/23 at 2:01 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #17 revealed she was familiar
with Resident #33 and her diet order. The resident was known to pocket food and had her good days and
bad days. The resident was to receive a pureed diet with thin liquids and was also to get lemon ice with her
meals to encourage her to swallow. The resident had to be fed by the staff and she thought the lemon ice
was to be given after the food was given. The speech therapist would be the one to instruct them on how to
properly feed the resident. She personally was not instructed on how to feed the resident and was only
recently told by the aides that lemon ice was to be used during the meal. She was not aware the resident's
orders specified that they were to place lemon ice on the tip of the spoon with every bite of solid to
stimulate swallow and decrease pocketing/ holding bolus (food).
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00142689.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident received food in the
form that she required for swallowing difficulties. This affected one (#33) of three residents reviewed for
aspiration risk.
Findings include:
A review of Resident #33's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included dementia with behavioral disturbances and generalized anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident #33's physician's orders revealed she was to receive a smooth, pureed textured diet.
The order originated on 04/28/23. A diet clarification order dated 04/28/23 revealed, in addition to the
smooth, pureed diet, no lumps or textures were to present in the pureed foods.
On 05/11/23 at 11:48 A.M., an observation of the lunch meal service revealed Resident #33 was served
her meal in the dining room. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #12 was observed to sit next to the
resident and assist her and another resident with their meal. Resident #33 was noted to receive a pureed
diet but the pureed meat (pork chop) that was served was lumpy and not smooth as ordered. STNA #12 fed
the resident the lumpy pureed food as it was sent on her meal tray.
On 05/11/23 at 1:45 P.M., an interview with STNA #12 revealed Resident #33 was supposed to be on a
pureed diet and received regular liquids with her meals. She reported her pureed food was to be smooth.
She was asked if she considered what the resident received as being smooth and she replied no. She
stated the pureed pork chop was chunky and she could tell that it was a meat form. She indicated the
smooth pureed texture should have had more liquid in it and be more the consistency of baby food. She
denied she returned the pureed pork chop to the kitchen and fed it to the resident as served. She knew the
resident had a tendency to pocket her food and she had to tell her several times to swallow her food. She
indicated that day was a good day for the resident and she was very alert during her meal.
On 05/11/23 at 2:18 P.M., an interview with Dietary Aide #24 revealed Resident #33 was supposed to be on
a pureed diet and the pureed food she received was supposed to be smooth. She denied she looked
closely enough at the resident's meal (after the dietary cook placed it on the plate) before she put it on the
cart to be delivered to the resident in the dining room to see if the pureed food was smooth or not. She
indicated their pureed food processor had been acting up for a while and the dietary manager had been
talking to someone about getting a new one.
On 05/11/23 at 2:25 P.M., an interview with Dietary Manager #40 revealed Resident #33 was supposed to
be on a pureed diet. Her pureed diet was supposed to be really smooth like pudding. She confirmed they
were having issues with their food processor and she was in the process of checking with their corporate
chef to get a couple new bowls. The one they had now had been used so much that the bowl got worn out.
The blades to the processor did not quite reach the edge of the bowl allowing the food to not be pureed as
well as it should be.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00142689.
