Review of the facility document titled, Diet Spreadsheet, dated 3/5/25, showed lunch served on 3/5/25 included Orange Chicken and Asian Vegetable Blend for regular textured diets (no texture modifications), ground Asian Vegetable Blend for Mechanical Soft textured diets (a modified textured diet consisting of soft, easily chewed foods), and Pureed Orange Chicken and Whipped Potatoes for pureed textured diets (modified textured diet consisting of smooth, pudding like consistency foods).

An observation on 3/5/25 at 12:05 p.m., showed retherm cart labeled 1D was unplugged by staff from the docking station and was ready to be transported to the resident ward for lunch food service.

On 3/5/25 at 12:07 p.m., a test-tray observation was conducted.

The temperature of food was measured with a calibrated thermometer for three test trays.

Test tray 1 included pureed foods and the temperatures showed pureed chicken was 116.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F), and mashed potatoes were 109.4 degrees F.

The pureed chicken and mashed potatoes were just barely warm when tasted. In addition, the regular textured vegetables and the mechanical textured vegetables tasted bland.

Food Service Supervisor (FSS) 1 tasted the vegetables and stated they had no flavor.

Also, the regular and mechanical vegetables had a fibrous, unappealing texture. FSS 1 stated the vegetables were a little crunchy for a regular person.

When the regular textured Orange Chicken was tasted, it felt dry and a bit tough. FSS 1 stated the chicken was a little dry.
