Summary
The facility failed to follow the prescribed menu and recipe for pureed potatoes during food preparation for nine residents on pureed diets, including two residents on no added salt pureed diets. During an observation, a staff member was seen adding low sodium broth to the pureed potatoes instead of the warm milk specified in the facility's recipe. This deviation from the established recipe was confirmed by the staff member involved. The review of facility documents and direct observation confirmed that the menu and recipe were not followed as required for residents receiving pureed meals.
