8219 CHESTER NURSING CENTER 425061 1 MEDICAL PARK DRIVE CHESTER SC 29706 2012-05-03 363 F 0 1 WII411 On the days of the survey, based on observation, interview, and review of the menus, the facility failed to serve the menu as written. The menu stated 6 ounces (oz) of chili and 3 oz or 4 oz of mashed potatoes was to be served. The staff served 4 oz of chili and 2 and 2/3 oz of mashed potatoes. The findings included: Observation on 5/1/12, at approximately 11:40am revealed Cook #1 serving 4 oz of chili and 2 2/3 oz of mashed potatoes for all diet types. The State Agency surveyor and Cook #1 checked the ladle and scoops sizes together and confirmed that a 4 oz ladle was being used to portion the chili and a #12 (2 2/3 oz) scoop was being used to portion the mashed potatoes. This surveyor then asked the Registered Dietitian (RD) to provide the surveyor with the menu the staff was using to determine the portion sizes to be served. The RD and surveyor reviewed the menu together and verified that all diet types were to receive 6 oz of chili, Pureed diets were to receive 4 oz of mashed potatoes, and all other diet types were to receive 3 oz of mashed potatoes. The RD and Cook #1 confirmed that the required amount of chili and mashed potatoes were not being served at that time. 2016-06-01
