Summary
The facility failed to follow the posted menu for two observed meal services, affecting all 48 residents who received meals from the kitchen. During observation, the regular meal served included meatloaf, mixed vegetables, au gratin potatoes, and a brownie, but no bread was provided, despite the menu specifying 'bread of choice.' For the pureed diet, the meal included pureed meatloaf, pureed corn, pureed bowtie pasta, and banana pudding, which did not match the menu that called for a vegetable blend and bread. Staff interviews confirmed that bread was forgotten during lunch service and that the pureed meal did not follow the planned menu, as frozen pureed items were used instead of pureeing the prepared meal.
