Based on review of clinical record, observations, and staff and resident interviews it was determined that the facility failed to provide appropriate equipment necessary to promote and maintain out-of-bed mobility and participation in activities of daily living (ADL) for one of one resident reviewed (Resident R1). Findings Include: Review of the facilities Facility Assessment last updated July 15, 2026, revealed that the facility identified activities of daily living including bathing and showering, and mobility and transfers as care needs of its resident population. The assessment indicated the facility would assess and provide adaptive equipment and or techniques necessary to support residents with these needs. Further review of the facility assessment under physical equipment revealed that the facilities identified wheelchairs associated positioning devices, bariatric beds, bariatric wheelchairs, lifts and lifts slings as physical resources necessary to provide care to its resident population. Review of the resident R1's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted into the facility on July 7, 2026, with diagnoses that include hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) followed a cerebral infarction(stroke) affecting the right dominant side, generalized muscle weakness, lack of coordination and difficulty walking. Review of resident R1's care plan initiated on July 8, 2026, revealed the resident has reduced balance, strength, and activity tolerance with reducibility to perform functional mobility and activities of daily living, placing the resident at risk for falls. The established goal was for Resident R1 to demonstrate increased strength, improve balance, increased activity tolerance, and safe functional mobility and ADL (activities of daily living) performance. Interventions included Hoyer lift transfers (mechanical patient lift to safely transfer a patient who cannot independently stand, bear weight, or safely transfer between surfaces) with assistance of two to four caregivers, skilled physical and occupational therapy, therapeutic exercises and activities, neuromuscular reeducation, self-care management, activity tolerance training, and wheelchair management. Review of the physical therapy evaluation and plan of treatment, with a start of care dated of July 8, 2026, revealed resident R1 was referred to physical therapy due to decreased strength, functional mobility, transfers, range of motion, ability to safely ambulate, balance, and functional activity tolerance. The treatment plan included wheelchair management training 3 to 6 times per week. A short-term goal was established for Resident R1 to safely propel a manual wheelchair 15 to 25 feet to improve upper body strength and cardiorespiratory endurance. The baseline assessment documented that a custom wheelchair was not available for the initial assessment. Review of physical therapy note dated July 20, 2026, revealed Resident R1 was seen in a supine position in bed, Resident R1 declined to participate in therapy as resident was upset due to not getting out of bed. Appropriate wheelchair is not available at this time for Resident R1 to use or get out of bed safely. Review of Occupational Therapy treatment note dated July 27, 2026, revealed Resident R1 was very upset because he/she did not have his/her wheelchair yet. The therapist discussed the process of obtaining the wheelchair with the resident. Resident R1 became aggravated yelled and declined to participate in the full therapy session. Interview with resident R1 and his/her family member on August 13, 2026, revealed Resident R1 has not received a shower since admission and received bathing care in bed. Interview with Director of Nursing, Employee E2, on August 13, 2026, confirmed Resident R 1 has not received a shower and stated the resident was considered a bed bath because Resident R1 could not safely utilize the shower chair or shower bed. Interview with physical therapy director, Employee E3, on August 13, 2026, revealed Resident R1 was not appropriate for shower chair because of the resident's extended leg could not bend significantly to permit safe positioning. However, Physical Therapy Director, Employee E3, stated resident R1 was appropriate for the shower bed and the recommendation had been communicated to the nursing staff. Further interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), Employee E2, on August 13, 2026, revealed the shower bed was not utilized because resident R1 allegedly exceeded its allowable weight capacity. When asked to identify the showers bed weight limit, the DON was unable to do so or provide documentation demonstrating that Resident R1 exceeded the manufacturer specified capacity. The facility failed to ensure adaptive equipment was available to meet Resident R1's assessed ADL and mobility needs despite identified needs for wheelchair mobility and specialized bathing equipment. The resident remained without appropriate seating for several weeks and was not afforded bathing using a shower bed that therapy determined was appropriate. 28 Pa.

Review of literature revealed as follows: Metoprolol Succinate ER (Extended-Release) oral tablets should not be crushed, broken, or chewed because it can disrupt the extended-release mechanism, potentially leading to a rapid release of the medication and an increased risk of side effects. Metoprolol Succinate ER tablets are designed to release the medication slowly over a prolonged period, usually 24 hours, to provide a consistent therapeutic effect. A rapid release of metoprolol can result in higher than intended blood levels, potentially leading to an overdose and increasing the risk of side effects, such as dizziness, fatigue, and low blood pressure. Finasteride Oral Tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed. Clopidogrel Bisulfate oral tablets, should not be crushed because this can lead to a rapid and higher concentration of the drug in the body, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding. At the time of the observation, interview with Employee E13, confirmed the above findings. The facility incurred a medication error rate of 12.00%. . 28 Pa Code 211.9(a)(1) Pharmacy services 28 Pa Code 211.10(c) Resident care policies 28 Pa Code 211.12(d)(5) Nursing services

An interview with Employee E3, Resident R1's physician and the Medical Director of the facility on February 20, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., confirmed the presence of the denture on the X-ray. Further interview with Employee E3, the resident's physician and the Medical Director of the facility, directly stated that he was told by the lung physician (in the intensive care unit at the hospital) that when the lung physician intubated the resident (inserted a breathing tube into the lungs to connect the resident to a breathing machine) the resident's dentures were found laying on the vocal cords.
