Summary
The facility failed to follow the prescribed menu for residents on a puree diet, as observed during a lunch service. Specifically, three residents who required a puree diet were served regular tomato soup without crackers and cottage cheese instead of the menu-specified pureed tomato soup with crackers and pureed cantaloupe. Additionally, apple sauce was served in place of pureed cantaloupe. The Dietary Director confirmed these deviations from the menu, and a review of the facility's policy indicated that texture modification diets should be followed as ordered, with no changes made without a written order.
