Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, resident interview, staff interview, and review of facility menu spreadsheets, the facility failed to provide a varied menu for a resident on a pureed diet. This affected one resident (Resident #7) and had the potential to affect two residents (#1 and #7) receiving a pureed diet. The facility census was 18.
Findings include: Review of Resident #7's medical record revealed that she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dysphagia and gastrostomy status. Review of Resident #7's Minimum Data Set (MDS) significant change assessment dated [DATE] revealed that she had intact cognitive status. Review of Resident #7's physician orders dated 06/10/25 revealed that she was on a regular diet of pureed consistency and thin liquids. Review of the pureed menu spreadsheets from 04/06/25 through 05/18/25 (42 days), approved by Registered Dietitian #110, revealed that green beans were served 20 times and mashed potatoes were served 34 times. Interview with Resident #7 on 06/16/25 at 9:59 A.M. and on 06/18/25 at 9:23 A.M. revealed that she felt that there was no variety in the pureed diets. She stated that she received mashed potatoes and/or green beans every day. Observation on 06/16/25 at 11:48 A.M. revealed that Resident #7 was served mashed potatoes at her lunch meal. Resident #7 was overheard saying to Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) #75 that she wished that she could have been served the pureed version of the starch that the regular textured diet residents were served at that meal, which was sweet potato fries. CNA #75 did not offer to serve her an alternative food item. Interview with CNA #76 on 06/17/25 at 10:21 A.M. revealed that the same items were usually served for lunch and dinner for pureed meals, with little variety offered. She stated that there was usually always mashed potatoes on the plate. Interview with CNA #75 on 06/17/25 at 10:27 A.M. revealed that residents who were served pureed textures seemed to receive the same meals repeatedly, with little variety. She stated that she had brought it to the dietary department's attention on repeated occasions in the past, but that nothing changed. Interview with Registered Dietitian #110 on 06/18/25 at 11:19 A.M. revealed that upon review of the pureed diet menu spreadsheets, green beans were served too frequently. She also confirmed that there were other alternatives for mashed potatoes, as a starch, that could have been used for pureed options.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual needs.
Based on observation, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to prepare pureed diets at the proper consistency. This had the potential to affect two residents (Resident #1 and #7) that the facility identified as receiving a pureed diet consistency. The facility census was 18.
Findings include: Interview with Sous Chef #112 on 06/17/25 at 11:04 A.M. revealed that all pureed foods should be served at a smooth pudding-like consistency with no chunks. Observation and interview on 06/17/25 at 11:03 A.M. revealed Line [NAME] #115 began the preparation of the pureed chicken tenders. At 11:10 A.M., Line [NAME] #115 indicated verbally that the chicken tenders were at puree consistency and ready to be tested. Observation via taste of the pureed chicken tenders on 06/17/25 at 11:10 A.M. revealed that there were visible lumps and chunks in the puree chicken tenders, and that the consistency was not homogenous. Interview with Sous Chef #112 on 06/17/25 at 11:10 A.M. verified that the puree chicken tenders had chunks in them. Observation and interview on 06/17/25 from 11:10 A.M. to 11:17 A.M. revealed that Line [NAME] #115 continued to process the pureed chicken tenders. At 11:17 A.M., Line [NAME] #115 indicated that the food was ready to be tested again. Observation via taste of the pureed chicken tenders on 06/17/25 at 11:17 A.M. revealed that there were still visible lumps and chunks in the puree chicken tenders, and that the consistency was still not homogenous. Interview with Sous Chef #112 on 06/17/25 at 11:17 A.M. confirmed that there were still chunks in the pureed chicken tenders. Interview with Executive Chef #150 on 06/17/25 at 11:30 A.M. revealed that the pureed chicken for the meal should have been unbreaded chicken, as the breading on the cooked chicken tenders is tough to break down mechanically into a pureed texture. He indicated that he would educate the dietary staff about not using breaded chicken for pureed textures. Review of the undated facility policy titled Texture and Consistency Modified Diets revealed that the food and nutrition services department will be responsible for preparing and serving the correct consistency of food and beverages as ordered.
