intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide one of three sampled
residents (Resident 2) with meals that accommodated the resident's food preferences. This failure had the
potential to result in decreased meal intake and malnutrition. Findings:During a review of Resident 2's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/26/2025 with
diagnoses including hyperlipidemia (a condition characterized by high levels of lipids in the blood including
cholesterol and triglycerides) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in
blood sugar control and poor wound healing). During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P),
dated 2/27/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 2 has the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 6/5/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 2 had moderate cognitive (ability to think, understand and make decisions)
impairment and was independent with eating and required a therapeutic diet (specially designed meal
plans used to treat or manage specific medical conditions). During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary
Report dated 4/11/2025 indicated a Renal 80-gram (Gm, unit of weight) protein, regular texture, thin liquids
consistency, controlled carbohydrate (CCHO-a dietary pattern that restricts carbohydrate intake to manage
blood sugar levels) double portion protein diet. During an interview and concurrent record review with
Resident 2 on 8/26/2025 at 12:11 p.m., photos taken of the resident's food indicated white bread served
with meal ticket indicating the resident's preference of wheat bread. Resident 2 stated food preferences
were not being considered by dietary staff when given meals. Resident 2 stated he was still being served
white bread and pasta despite requesting wheat bread and no pasta numerous times. Resident 2 stated
feeling frustrated with the kitchen staff not accommodating requests and was concerned about his health.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) on 8/27/2025 at 10:33
a.m., the DS stated the last dietary preference assessment for Resident 2 was completed 2/28/2025 which
indicated Resident 2 requested no cheese and wheat bread substitute for meals. The DS stated there was
a mistake in serving Resident 2 white bread. The DS stated tray line staff (food service workers responsible
for assembling patient meal trays based on specific dietary instructions) were responsible for checking
menu cards with meal trays. The DS stated honoring the resident's food preferences was respecting
residents' rights and preventing the risk of malnutrition. During a review of facility policy and procedure
