Based on interviews and the review of clinical records, it was determined that the facility failed to assess the request for an accommodation of need for one of two residents reviewed (Resident R1). Findings include: Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed the resident has the following diagnoses hypertension (high blood pressure); cerebral infarction (stroke - brain damage); diabetes (a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar/glucose); anxiety (intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations) and dementia (decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities). Review of facility documentation indicated that Resident R1 fell in the hallway, next to the nurse's station, when the resident stood up from the chair that she was sitting in and walked away. Continued review of facility documentation regarding the fall indicated that Resident R1 was sent out to the hospital on August 23, 2026, where it was found that Resident R1 sustained a left humerus fracture (a broken left arm). Review of Resident R1's nursing notes indicated that the resident returned to the facility the following day, August 24, 2026. Interview with Resident R1's representative on August 28, 2026, at 11:26 a.m. revealed on August 25, 2026, after Resident R1's readmission to the facility, the family requested for the resident to have a bed alarm (alerting devices intended to monitor a resident's movement. The devices emit an audible signal when the resident moves in certain ways). Resident R1's representative reported he/she was informed by the Director of Nursing that a bed alarm is considered a restriction. Resident R1's representative expressed concern regarding Resident R1's fall and the desire for a bed alarm, as the representative believes it could be beneficial for Resident R1. Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed no documented evidence an evaluation was completed to assess the appropriateness of the bed alarm, per the resident's daughter's request. Review of Resident R1's clinical record failed to contain documented evidence that the resident's physician was included in the evaluation. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on August 28, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. the Director of Nursing reported that she spoke with Resident R1's representative on August 25, 2026, regarding her request for Resident R1 to have a bed alarm in response to the fall and subsequent fracture. During the above referenced interview, the DON reported that she informed Resident R1's representative that the bed alarm is considered a restraint, and it not something that the facility would utilize as an intervention to prevent the resident from falling. It was confirmed with the DON during the above referenced interview that despite the facility informing the daughter of its practice to not utilize devices such as bed alarms, the facility did not evaluate the appropriateness of the bed alarm, as a result of the resident's daughter's request for it to be utilized for her mother. Continued interview with the DON it was discussed if there were any other interventions that the facility could use in lieu of the bed alarm that the daughter requested for her mother (e.g.15 minute checks, etc.), and the DON reported that there was no other interventions discussed with the daughter that could be utilized in place of the bed alarm to address the daughter's concern of her mother falling out of bed. 28 Pa.

Based on a review of facility policy, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions for one of two residents reviewed who had a midline catheter and an indwelling urinary Foley catheter (Resident R4). Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions, last revised on February 25, 2025, revealed that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms through the targeted use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities. The policy further revealed that the facility may use EBP for residents who do not have a chronic wound or indwelling medical device but are infected or colonized with a multidrug-resistant organism considered epidemiologically important. In addition, the policy revealed that an order for Enhanced Barrier Precautions is to be obtained for residents with wounds, including chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and chronic venous stasis ulcers, and/or indwelling medical devices, including central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, tracheostomy or ventilator tubes, hemodialysis catheters, PICC lines, and midline catheters, even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a multidrug-resistant organism. A review of Resident R4's clinical record revealed an admission date of September 23, 2019, with diagnoses including sepsis (a life-threatening condition caused by the body's extreme response to an infection). A review of physician orders revealed an order dated April 17, 2026, for a midline catheter for intravenous (IV) fluids, and an order dated January 23, 2026, for Enhanced Barrier Precautions for ESBL colonization, Foley catheter, and wound care during day and night shifts for infection control, with instructions to ensure signage was visible outside the room and personal protective equipment was available. On April 20, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., an observation conducted with Licensed Nurse, Employee E11, revealed a sign posted outside Resident R4's room stating Enhanced Barrier, providing guidance that anyone providing direct care was required to wear a gown and gloves when touching Resident R4. Employee E11 was asked to provide assistance in observing the resident's midline catheter for IV fluids. Employee E11 donned gloves and proceeded to touch the resident's arm while showing the surveyor the midline catheter, including the appropriately dated dressing; however, Employee E11 did not don a gown while providing direct care to Resident R4. On April 21, 2026, at 2:28 p.m., observation confirmed that Resident R4 had a midline catheter and an indwelling Foley catheter, both of which required staff providing direct care or handling the devices to wear a gown and gloves in accordance with the facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy. 28 Pa.

Further review of Resident CL-1's clinical record revealed an admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a periodic assessment of needs) dated 04/26/2016, which identified Resident CL-1 as alert and oriented, and requiring extensive assistance by two or more staff members for bed mobility and toileting. This MDS also identified resident CL-1 as weighing 336 pounds and having a fall within the last month. A review of Resident CL-1's plan of care initiated 04/20/2016, identified the resident as a fall risk and the resident was at risk for an alteration in functional mobility related to an amputation (removal of a limb or a section of a limb) of the left leg below the knee.
