needs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations of Resident #2 plate in the room, interviews with staff, and record reviews, the facility failed to
ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs for Resident #2 (1 of 1 Resident reviewed). The facility failed to follow the care plan and provide
Resident #2 with a mechanically soft diet that he could eat. This could cause the resident to experience
unplanned weight loss due to inability to eat properly.

During an interview on 5/14/2025 at 2:22 PM., CKB said she works the day shift. CKB said she has been at
the facility for two weeks. CKB stated that a nurse is responsible for providing them with the information slip,
which indicates the type of food the resident is supposed to receive. She was not aware of any changes to
Resident #2's meal ticket and had not been verbally informed of the changes to Resident #2's meal
information ticket.
Residents Affected - Few
A record review on 5/14/2025 at 2:30 PM of Resident #2's Dinner meal ticket in the kitchen, which was on
Resident #2's tray, surveyor observed that Resident #2 was to receive a regular diet, not a mechanically
soft diet. The information form dated 2/4/2025 for Resident #2 was in the kitchen for staff review, indicating
that Resident #2 had a regular diet, not a mechanically soft diet.
During an interview on 5/14/2025 at 3:04 PM., RN A stated that she has been at the facility for three weeks.
She indicated that if there is an update on the meal texture for Resident #2, the information is updated in
the care plan and then sent to the kitchen. She noted that if a resident is served the wrong texture, they
may not be able to eat properly, choke, or lose weight.
An interview on 5/14/2025 at 3:12 PM, DON stated that she believes she is the one who updated Resident
#2's meal information slip and sent it to the kitchen, but she does not know why the kitchen did not receive
the information slip. DON was able to produce the yellow carbon copy of the meal information sheet, which
stated that Resident #2 was supposed to receive mechanical soft food. DON noted that the dietary
manager has been off work, which could explain why the kitchen information was not up to date. DON
explained that if a resident does not receive the correct food texture, they could experience weight loss or
choke on the food.
An interview on 5/14/2025 at 3:18 PM, ADMN stated that he is the interim administrator and has been at
the facility for a week. ADMN noted that when a resident's diet is changed, it is typically initiated by either
the doctor or the speech therapist. Then it is entered into Point Click Care, the software the facility uses to
maintain medical records. The ADMN said that it is sometimes verbally communicated to the staff in the
kitchen when there is a short notice. The resident's meal slip is also taken to the kitchen so that the resident
can get the correct food texture. ADMIN stated that a resident can either choke or not eat at all if the wrong
texture is provided.
A record review of the facilities policy was done on 5-14-2025 showed the policy was implemented on
2/13/2024.
