Summary
The facility failed to follow the approved menu for a resident on a pureed diet. The dietitian-approved menu for Week 2 specified that residents requiring a pureed diet should receive pureed cornbread. One resident, admitted with dysphagia and physician orders for a pureed diet, was observed during tray line service to have received pureed chicken, pureed broccoli, and pureed candied yams, but no pureed cornbread or any pureed bread product was included on the tray. Staff confirmed that a pureed bread item was not prepared or served, and the omission was only addressed after surveyor intervention. Attempts to contact the Registered Dietitian at the time were unsuccessful.
