residents food products based on their preferences for two of two nursing units (The Gardens, and Scenic
Heights).Findings include: During an observation on 8/12/25, at 12:30 p.m. Nurse Aide (NA) Employee E2
brought a lunch tray to The Gardens Nurses Station and stated to Unit Clerk (UC) Employee E3 Look at
this. They did it again. State Agency inquired as to the what the problem was, and NA Employee E2 stated
They gave Resident R2 minced and pureed food, and she is on a regular diet. They do this all the time.

During an observation on 8/12/25, at 12:28 p.m. UC Employee E3 placed a call while on speaker phone to
the Dietary Department to inform them that the wrong food was provided to Resident R2. The call was
answered with a recording of The person at this extension is unavailable. The call did not leave an
opportunity or an ability to leave a message for the Dietary Department. During an interview on 8/12/25, at
12;20 p.m. UC Employee E3 stated that in regards to the phone not being answered in Dietary, and not
being able to leave a message for the department This happens all the time. You have to call three and four
times. It can take an hour or two to get someone what they want. During an interview on 8/12/25, at 12:46
p.m. Resident R2 confirmed that she was provided the incorrect food items at lunch. She added This
happens all the time where they are giving me things I won't eat. During an interview at the Scenic Heights
Nursing Station on 8/12/25, at 1:04 p.m. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E4 stated that she also

request additional foods, it would be expected that the resident or staff member would call the kitchen and
leave a message. RD Employee E5 confirmed that the facility failed to provide the correct diet to Resident
R2 as she is not pureed or minced, and that the facility failed to honor preferences for both nursing units, by
not being to take phone calls for food requests. Pa Code: 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee
