F605D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a resident's medication regimen was free from potentially unnecessary medication for one of five residents reviewed for medication regimen review (Resident 36).Findings include: The facility policy entitled, Psychotropic Medication Use, last reviewed without changes on May 20, 2026, noted that psychotropic medication management is an interdisciplinary process and includes determining adequate indications for use, adequate monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences, and determining appropriateness of gradual dose reduction. When determining whether to initiate, modify, or discontinue medication therapy, the interdisciplinary team conducts and documents an evaluation of the resident that includes the resident's: physical, behavioral, mental, and psychosocial status; expressions or indications of distress; changes in functional status; and resident complaints, behaviors, and symptoms. Circumstances that warrant an evaluation of the resident's underlying medical condition and medications include an irregularity identified during the drug regimen review. Psychotropic medication may be considered appropriate when: a resident's behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident or others; a resident is exhibiting indications of distress that are significant to the resident; non-pharmacological approaches have been attempted but did not relieve the medical symptom which are presenting a danger or significant distress; and/or a gradual dose reduction was attempted, but clinical symptoms returned. The clinical rationale for the use of psychotropic medication is documented in the medical record. Documentation must include that behavioral interventions were attempted but not successful, and these interventions were deemed clinically contraindicated. Alternatively, documentation from a physician must describe that alternative treatments are clinically contraindicated and the rationale for this conclusion. Clinical record review for Resident 36 revealed that her medication regimen included the use of Lorazepam (an antianxiety psychotropic medication) 0.5 mg (milligrams) daily for an anxiety disorder since July 8, 2024. Resident 36's medication regimen also included the use of Duloxetine (an antidepressant psychotropic medication) 20 mg daily since October 26, 2024. Review of a plan of care initiated by the facility March 24, 2026, to address Resident 36's use of an anti-anxiety medication revealed interventions that included to observe for and record occurrences of target behavior symptoms (e.g., pacing, wandering, disrobing, inappropriate response to verbal communication, violence/aggression towards staff/others, etc.) and document per facility protocol. Review of a plan of care initiated by the facility March 24, 2026, to address Resident 36's use of an antidepressant medication revealed interventions that included to observe for and document/report to the physician ongoing signs and symptoms of depression unaltered by an antidepressant medication such as, sad, irritable, anger, never satisfied, crying, shame, worthlessness, guilt, suicidal ideations, negative mood/comments, slowed movement, agitation, disrupted sleep, fatigue, lethargy, does not enjoy usual activities, changes in cognition, changes in weight/appetite, fear of being alone or with others, unrealistic fears, attention seeking, concern with body functions, anxiety, constant reassurance. Review of Resident 36's MAR/TAR (Medication Administration Record/Treatment Administration Record, electronic documentation completed by licensed staff) revealed that the facility identified one target behavior, restlessness, to monitor for psychotropic medication use since May 2, 2025. Resident 36's clinical record indicated that her dose of the antianxiety and antidepressant medications remained the same since 2024. A Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber from the facility's consultant pharmacist dated January 8, 2026, requested that the physician consider an attempted dose reduction or trial discontinuation of the Duloxetine and/or Lorazepam medication as, CMS guidelines require periodic review of psychoactive medications. Please consider an attempted dose reduction or trial discontinuation, as you deem appropriate. If gradual dose reduction is clinically contraindicated at this time, please document the clinical rationale below. This must address the reason(s) why an attempted GDR would likely impair the resident's function or cause psychiatric instability, by exacerbating an underlying medical or psychiatric disorder. The physician's response dated January 13, 2026, noted the only clinical rationale as, medically stable. There was no supporting rationale to disagree with the recommendation such as ongoing distressing target behaviors or a failed GDR in the past. Interview with the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator on June 17, 2026, at 9:50 AM confirmed that the facility had no evidence of target behavior monitoring for the use of antianxiety and antidepressant medications for Resident 36 as stipulated in her plan of care. The interview confirmed that the facility had no additional information to support Resident 36's physician's response to the consultant pharmacist recommendation in January 2026. 483.10(e)(1), 483.12(a)(2), 483.45(c)(3)(d)(e) Right to be Free From Chemical RestraintsPreviously cited deficiency 7/18/25 28 Pa.

F645D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on clinical record review and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to ensure each resident was appropriately screened through the PASRR process prior to, and during, admission to the facility for two of three residents reviewed for PASRR concerns (Residents 15 and 9). Findings include: The PASRR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) official website at https://www.dhs.pa.gov/providers/Providers/Pages/PASRR-Process.aspx, noted that the PASRR requires that all applicants to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility be evaluated for serious mental illness (SMI), intellectual disability (ID) and/or other related condition (ORC). PASRR can advance person-centered care planning by assuring that psychological, psychiatric, and functional needs are considered along with personal goals and preferences in planning long term care. In brief, the PASRR process requires that all applicants to Medicaid-certified Nursing Facilities be given a preliminary assessment to determine whether they might have SMI, ID, or ORC before admission. This is called a PASRR Level I screen. The PASRR Level I form is to be used as a worksheet. You are to make any additions or corrective changes directly on the PASRR Level I form itself. Date and initial/sign to indicate that a change has been made to the form. Nursing Facilities are responsible for making sure the form is filled out correctly at the time of admission. Clinical record review for Resident 15 revealed that the facility admitted him on April 29, 2026. Clinical record review of the PASRR Level I form available for Resident 15 during the onsite survey revealed that staff documented the form as completed on April 29, 2025, (a year earlier than his admission to the facility). Section III-A, question one, listed no mental health diagnoses for Resident 15. Review of Resident 15's diagnoses list upon his admission to the facility noted the following diagnoses dated April 27, 2026: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, a mental health condition that is caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event and symptoms cause significant distress or problems with daily functioning)Anxiety Disorder, unspecified (excessive worry about various aspects of life interfering with daily activities and well-being)Major depressive disorder, recurrent (persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and various emotional and physical problems) Review of an admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs) dated May 9, 2026, noted that staff included Resident 15's diagnoses of anxiety disorder, depression, and PTSD, in the assessment. Review of Resident 15's medication regimen noted the following antidepressant psychotropic medications for the following diagnoses: Mirtazapine 15 mg (milligrams) at bedtime related to major depressive disorder, recurrent Sertraline 100 mg daily for depression related to major depressive disorder, recurrent The surveyor requested current Resident 15's PASRR assessments for Resident 15 during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on June 15, 2026, at 2:15 PM. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on June 16, 2026, at 2:15 PM confirmed that the above referenced PASRR assessment was the only version available for Resident 15 for his admission to the facility. The facility failed to ensure that Resident 15's PASRR form was completed correctly at the time of his admission to the facility. Clinical record review for Resident 9 revealed the resident had a PASRR completed on admission dated June 14, 2024, which indicated the resident had a diagnosis of dementia (a decline in memory, thinking and reasoning), and no other diagnosis to be captured on the PASRR. Further clinical record review for Resident 9 revealed a diagnosis of depression was added to the resident's list of diagnoses on October 25, 2024. There was no evidence that Resident 9's PASRR was updated to reflect that additional depression diagnosis. The above information was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on June 16, 2026, at 2:20 PM. The facility provided an updated PASRR for Resident 9 which indicated the resident's diagnosis of unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition, depression, was added to the PASRR by social services on June 16, 2026, after it was brought to the facility's attention by the surveyor as noted above. 28 Pa.

Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the resident's attending physician addressed and responded appropriately to consultant pharmacy recommendations for two of five residents reviewed (Residents 12 and 36). Findings include: The facility policy entitled, Consultant Pharmacist Reports, Medication Regimen Review (Monthly Report) last reviewed without changes on May 20, 2026, revealed that the consultant pharmacist performs a comprehensive medication regimen review (MRR) at least monthly. Findings and recommendations are reported to the Director of Nursing, the attending physician, the medical director, and if appropriate the administrator. The findings are faxed or emailed within 72 hours to the Director of Nursing or designee and documented and stored with the other consultant pharmacist recommendations in the resident's chart. The consultant pharmacist's evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the following: A written diagnosis, indication, or documented objective findings support each medication orderDocumentation by physician, nurse, and/or consultants indicating progress toward or maintenance of goals of therapyLaboratory results, diagnostic studies, or other medication therapy measurements are obtained by staff/physician and acted uponThe duration of therapy is indicated and is appropriate for the residentMedical condition and response to drug therapy are evaluated to assure the appropriateness of the medication regimen Recommendations are acted upon and documented by the facility staff and/or the prescriber. Physician accepts and acts upon suggestion or rejects and provides an explanation for disagreement. The Director of Nursing or designated licensed nurse address and document recommendations that do not require a physician intervention (e.g., monitor blood pressure). The facility policy entitled, Consultant Pharmacist Reports, Documentation and Communication of Consultant Pharmacist Recommendations, last reviewed without changes on May 20, 2026, revealed that the consultant pharmacist works with the facility to establish a system whereby the consultant pharmacist observations and recommendations regarding residents' medication therapy are communicated to those with authority and/or responsibility to implement the recommendations, and responded to in an appropriate and timely fashion. A record of the consultant pharmacist's observations and recommendations is made available in an easily retrievable form to nurses, physicians, and the care planning team. The timing of these recommendations should enable a response prior to the next medication regimen review. Clinical record review for Resident 36 revealed a Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber from the facility's consultant pharmacist dated January 8, 2026, that requested that the physician consider an attempted dose reduction or trial discontinuation of Duloxetine (antidepressant medication) and/or Lorazepam (antianxiety medication) medications as, CMS guidelines require periodic review of psychoactive medications. Please consider an attempted dose reduction (GDR) or trial discontinuation, as you deem appropriate. If gradual dose reduction is clinically contraindicated at this time, please document the clinical rationale below. This must address the reason(s) why an attempted GDR would likely impair the resident's function or cause psychiatric instability, by exacerbating an underlying medical or psychiatric disorder. The physician's response dated January 13, 2026, noted the only clinical rationale as, medically stable. There was no supporting rationale to disagree with the recommendation such as indicating progress toward or maintenance of goals of therapy, ongoing distressing target behaviors, or a failed GDR in the past. Electronic documentation by the facility's consultant pharmacist dated April 6, 2026, for Resident 36 noted, Recommendations made, review Clinical Pharmacy Report.

Interview with Employee 9 (assistant director of nursing) on June 17, 2026, at 12:01 PM revealed that the consultant pharmacist review on April 6, 2026, for Resident 36 requested that a periodic lipid panel (a blood test that measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assess risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions) be done to monitor the medication Atorvastatin (medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke). The facility did not have this recommendation on a Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber. The interview confirmed that nursing staff would not write a physician's order to obtain routine laboratory testing; thus, it would need to be an action by the physician. Clinical record review for Resident 12 revealed a consulting pharmacist report dated October 6, 2025, requesting a gradual dose reduction or a documented rationale for declining the resident's Tizanidine (a muscle relaxer medication to treat muscle spasticity) 4 mg (milligram) three times a day, Pregabalin (a medication that can be used to treat nerve pain) 75mg daily every eight hours, and Oxycodone 10 mg (medication to treat severe pain) every four hours as needed. Resident 12's physician indicated agreement to stop or decrease Resident 12's Tizanidine and Pregabalin orders, while declining the recommendation to stop the Oxycodone on October 10, 2025, indicating that the oxycodone should continue for pain management. Further clinical record review revealed no evidence that any order was written to decrease or stop the Tizanidine or Pregabalin orders as the physician indicated on October 10, 2025. The surveyor requested any information indicating an additional information regarding Resident 12's medications noted above on June 17, 2026, at 9:30 AM, but no further information was provided.
