Summary
The facility failed to provide food in the form ordered by the physician for a resident who required a Mechanical Soft texture diet with nectar thickened liquids. Instead, the resident was served a pureed lunch meal, which did not match the prescribed diet. The resident's care plan also indicated the need for a Regular Diet, Mechanical Soft texture, and Nectar-like fluids. Staff confirmed that the meal provided was of pureed consistency and that it was delivered to the dining room without any changes, despite the dietary order specifying otherwise.
