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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the menu for 18 of 18
residents who received pureed diets (food that has been ground, pressed, and/or strained to a soft, smooth
consistency, like pudding) during the lunch meal service on 9/23/24, when the vegetable served did not
reflect what was listed on the menu.
This failure had the potential for residents ' preferences not to be met and could result in decreased meal
intake.
Findings:
During an observation on 9/23/24 at 11:36 AM in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 placed cooked carrots into the
blender, poured thickener and hot water into the blender, and pureed the items together. [NAME] 1 poured
the pureed carrots into a serving dish and placed it on the steam table.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 1:45 PM with [NAME] 1 in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 confirmed she pureed
carrots instead of the squash listed on the menu. [NAME] 1 stated all the residents who were on a pureed
diet received pureed carrots instead of squash for the lunch meal. [NAME] 1 stated they didn ' t puree the
squash because she was just busy doing other prep items. [NAME] 1 stated residents should have received
the squash because it was on the menu for the day.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 2:23PM with the Administrator (Admin), the Admin stated menus were
important for resident preferences and to accommodate their needs. The Admin stated if the menu was not
known or not followed, needs of residents would not be met. The Admin stated Residents should be served
items shown on the menu. The Admin confirmed expectations were not met.

Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure food served from the kitchen was
appetizing when,
Residents Affected - Few
1. Pureed foods (food that has been ground, pressed, and/or strained to a soft, smooth consistency, like
pudding) were not prepared according to recipe directions for the lunch meal on 9/23/24 for 18 of 18
residents who received a pureed diet, resulting in an unappetizing texture; and,
2. The lunch meal served on 9/17/24 was served late and was not at an appetizing temperature for two of
four sampled residents.
This failure had the potential to result in decreased meal intake. A decrease in meal intake could result in
weight loss and malnutrition over time.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 9/23/24, at 11:36 AM, [NAME] 1 prepared pureed carrots for the lunch meal.
[NAME] 1 placed cooked carrots into the blender, added an unmeasured amount of hot water and a
thickening product, and turned the machine on, blending the items together. [NAME] 1 poured the contents
of the blender into a serving dish on the steam table.
During an observation on 9/23/24 at 11:48 AM in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 spooned pureed carrots onto
plates. The consistency of the carrots was too runny to hold its form, and they ran over 1/3 of the plate. The
pureed carrots mixed with the other food items on the plate.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 1:35 PM, with [NAME] 1 in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 stated they prepared
the pureed carrots by putting them into the blender, put water and thickener into the blender, and did not
use a measuring cup for the water or thickener.
During an interview on 9/23/24, at 1:45 PM with [NAME] 1, [NAME] 1 confirmed the carrots came out a little
bit runny and wasn ' t the right consistency for pureed food.

available for use and will be utilized .
2. During an observation on 9/17/24 at 12:30 PM in the Seaside Dining Room the meal cart arrived, 45
minutes after the scheduled mealtime.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/17/24 at 12:31 PM with Resident 1 in the Seaside
Dining Room, Resident 1 ' s meal tray was served at 12:31 PM. Resident 1 touched the ham with her index
finger and stated the food was cold again and it was like this all week. Resident 1 reported telling staff the
food was always cold when it arrived at the dining room late.

tray at 12:33 PM. Resident 2 ' s lunch tray contained two tacos. Resident 2 stated, I can ' t even eat this

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prepare and serve pureed food
(food that has been ground, pressed, and/or strained to a soft, smooth consistency, like pudding) at the
correct texture for 18 of 18 residents who received a pureed diet, when pureed foods were not prepared
according to recipe directions for the lunch meal on 9/23/24.
This failure increased the risk of swallowing difficulty for residents who required a modified food texture and
could also result in decreased meal intake.
Findings:
During an observation on 9/23/24, at 11:36 AM, [NAME] 1 prepared pureed carrots for the lunch meal.
[NAME] 1 placed cooked carrots into the blender, added an unmeasured amount of hot water and a
thickening product, and turned the machine on, blending the items together. [NAME] 1 poured the contents
of the blender into a serving dish on the stream table.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/23/24 at 11:44 AM with the Registered Dietitian (RD)
in the kitchen, the RD confirmed water is not listed on the recipe while reviewing a facility document titled
SEASONED CARROTS ., dated 4/17/2024, indicated, .FOOD THICKENER BULK .PROCESS UNTIL

During an observation on 9/23/24 at 11:48 AM in the kitchen, pureed carrots were served from a serving
spoon, not a scoop. The consistency of the carrots was too runny to hold its form. When the pureed carrots
were spooned onto the plate, the contents ran over 1/3 of the plate. The pureed carrots mixed with the other
food items on the plate.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 1:35pm, with [NAME] 1 in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 stated they prepared the
pureed carrots by putting them into the blender to blend, put in water and thickener into the blender, just put
in a little bit, and did not use a measuring cup for the water or thickener.
During an interview on 9/23/24, at 1:45 PM with [NAME] 1, [NAME] 1 confirmed the carrots came out a little
bit runny and wasn ' t the right consistency for pureed food. [NAME] 1 stated pureed food should resemble
the consistency of mashed potatoes and stated, If I send the food out too runny or too thick, can be hard for
the resident to properly eat.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to store clean dishes in accordance with professional
standards for food safety for a total of 144 residents who received food from the kitchen when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Food trays were stacked and put away wet;
2. Plastic drinking glasses were stacked on a tray and still wet.
This failure had the potential to put residents eating facility prepared meals at risk for foodborne illnesses.
Findings:
During an observation on 9/23/24 at 1:45 PM in the kitchen, clean dishes were observed coming out of the
dishwasher and placed directly on trays, top side down. No air could circulate within the cups to allow them
to air dry completely.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 1:45 PM with the Registered Dietician (RD) in the kitchen, the RD
identified liquid on drying trays as water. The RD stated water should not be on the tray where dishes were
placed to dry. The RD identified moisture build-up inside the plastic cups. The RD stated the problem it
created was an environment for pathogen growth. The RD stated this could make residents sick.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 1:47 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) in the kitchen, the DON
stated there was moisture visible inside plastic cups placed upside down on the tray used for dry dishes.
The DON stated this created an environment for bacteria growth and this could make residents sick. The
DON further stated the drying process can ' t be rushed.
