Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to prepare pureed food to ensure the proper consistency and nutrient density of a serving. This affected nine Residents (#14, #222, #3, #17, #29, #13, #33, #26 and #11) who were prescribed a pureed diet of 67 residents who consumed foods by mouth. The facility census was 68. Findings include: Observation on 09/03/19 at 10:35 A.M. revealed [NAME] #402 prepared pureed beef teriyaki for lunch on 09/03/19. The cook put the meat, gravy and food thickener into a large food processor and started blending. Then she took out the blades and went to get a spoon for the surveyor to taste, indicating the puree process was complete. The mixture did not appear to be smooth. The mixture was not the proper texture. The concern was verified by Dietary Manager (DM) #401 who told [NAME] #402 to puree the mixture to the proper texture. Cook #402 poured part of the teriyaki mixture into a smaller food processor/blender and started to process. The mixture was thick, so the cook poured an unmeasured amount of water in and blended. The teriyaki mixture was now of a smooth consistency but was too thin. [NAME] #402 was going to put more thickener in. DM #401 stopped her. The puree was to be redone. Review of the diet list revealed Residents (#14, #222, #3, #17, #29, #13, #33, #26 and #11) received pureed diets. Interview on 09/03/19 at 10:53 A.M. DM #401 verified the puree was not initially processed to the proper consistency and then was diluted which diluted the flavor and the nutrient density per serving.
