Summary
The facility failed to follow the prescribed menu for residents on pureed diets, as observed during meal service. On the specified date, the menu included an oven roasted turkey with gravy, sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts, dinner roll, chilled peaches, and beverages. However, all residents receiving pureed diets did not receive a bread or roll item with their meal, despite the menu and available recipes for pureed bread. Staff interviews confirmed that pureed bread was not provided because the facility did not have the bread puree mix, and it had not been prepared for some time, even though recipes were available. This deficiency affected all seven residents on pureed diets in the sample reviewed.
