F883E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure residents were offered the pneumococcal and influenza immunization unless contraindicated for three of five residents reviewed for immunizations (Residents 3, 16, and 59).Findings include: Current CDC website information notes that there are four pneumococcal vaccines available in the United States. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs: PCV15, PCV20 (Prevnar20), and PCV21) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). Each of these vaccines helps protect against specific serotypes, or strains, of pneumococcal bacteria. The number at the end of the vaccine name tells how many strains the vaccine includes. CDC Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults (https://www-new.cdc.gov/pneumococcal/downloads/Vaccine-Timing-Adults-JobAid.pdf) instructs that a complete series would be a PCV13 (Prevnar 13, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) at any age, a PPSV23 (Pneumovax 23, pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) at greater than or equal to 65 years, and together with the resident, vaccine providers may choose to administer PCV20 (Prevnar 20, 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) or PCV21 (CAPVAXIVE, 21-valent conjugate vaccine) to adults greater than or equal to [AGE] years old who have already received the PCV13 (but not PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21) at any age and PPSV23 at or after the age of [AGE] years old. The CDC stipulates that, Based on shared clinical decision-making, decide whether to administer one dose of PCV20 or PCV21 at least 5 years after the last pneumococcal vaccine dose. Current CDC information indicates that for someone greater than [AGE] years old, with no known prior pneumococcal vaccines, the first option is to administer the PCV20 or PCV21; and the second option is to administer the PCV15 followed by the PPSV23 after greater than one year. Clinical record review for Resident 16 revealed that the facility admitted them on June 28, 2021, when they were [AGE] years old. Review of Resident 16's immunization history revealed that they received the Pneumovax (also known as PPSV23) after their admission to the facility, on July 2, 2021. Resident 16's clinical record contained no evidence that Resident 16 received any additional pneumococcal vaccinations in the five years since their last immunization. No Pneumococcal Immunization Consent/Declination form for Resident 16 was provided by the facility for the pneumococcal vaccine. Per CDC guidelines, Resident 16 should have received one dose of PCV15, PCV20 or PCV21 immunization at least one year after the last dose of PPSV23. Interview with Resident 16 on July 23, 2026, at 1:48 PM revealed that they had never offered them a pneumococcal vaccine. Clinical record review of Resident 3's immunization documentation revealed no historical data that indicated the resident had been offered or received any pneumococcal vaccinations, or that any Pneumococcal Immunization Consent/Declination information had been collected. Per CDC guidelines, the facility should have offered/administered the PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21 immunization to Resident 3. Resident 59's clinical record revealed they were admitted on [DATE]. Immunization documentation showed no indication that the resident received/refused their 2025 influenza vaccination, despite having received it the previous four years. The facility was unable to provide an influenza consent/declination form for resident 59, signed by the resident or resident's representative. The facility was unable to explain why the resident did not receive their influenza vaccination. Interview with Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5, registered nurse, on July 23, 2026, at 2:30 PM, confirmed the above findings regarding pneumococcal and influenza immunizations for Residents 3, 16, and 59. 28 Pa.

F756E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure an appropriate, timely, physician response to consultant pharmacist recommendations for two of five residents reviewed (Residents 5 and 12). Findings include: The facility policy entitled, Medication Regimen Review and Recommendation, last reviewed without changes on December 3, 2025, noted that non-emergent recommendations are to be addressed within the next 30 days. If a recommendation has not been answered within 30 days, the consultant will notify the Director of Nursing that the recommendation is still pending. If after 60 days, there is still no response, the recommendation will be made again. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on July 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM revealed that monthly consultant pharmacist reviews are documented in residents' physical charts on the nursing unit (not in the electronic medical record). Review of Resident 5's physical chart on the nursing unit revealed no evidence of a consultant pharmacist review after April 14, 2026 (no documentation for May, June, or July 2026). The surveyor requested evidence of the monthly consultant pharmacist reviews after April 14, 2026, for Resident 5 during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 (registered nurse) on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM. A Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber report dated May 14, 2026 (provided by the facility the morning of July 24, 2026), requested that the physician provide a diagnosis to warrant Resident 5's use of Amiodarone (medication used to treat irregular heart rhythms) with a comment regarding the benefits versus the risk. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on July 24, 2026, at 10:30 AM confirmed that the facility had no evidence of a physician response to the consultant pharmacist's request dated May 14, 2026. Clinical record review for Resident 5 revealed an active physician order dated January 28, 2026, for staff to apply Voltaren gel every six hours as needed for bilateral shoulder pain. A Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber report dated June 10, 2026 (provided by the facility the morning of July 24, 2026), requested that the facility staff discontinue Resident 5's Voltaren gel (topical gel used to treat localized pain) medication due to non-use. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on July 24, 2026, at 10:30 AM confirmed that the facility had no evidence of a response to the consultant pharmacist's request dated June 10, 2026. Clinical record review for Resident 12 revealed a consultant pharmacist report dated September 22, 2025, that requested that Resident 12's physician complete a semi-annual evaluation for the continued use of Zoloft (Sertraline, an antidepressant) and Haldol (an antipsychotic). The physician's response on October 13, 2025, noted that Resident 12's psychotropic medications were managed by psychiatry. A consultant pharmacist report dated October 21, 2025, requested that Resident 12's physician complete a semi-annual evaluation for the continued use of Trazodone (an antidepressant) and Clonazepam (an antianxiety medication). The physician's response on October 31, 2025, again noted that Resident 12's psychotropic medications were managed by psychiatry. Resident 12's clinical record contained progress note documentation by the facility's contracted psychiatry provider dated July 22, 2025, and May 11, 2026. There was no evidence that the facility's contracted psychiatry provider responded to the consultant pharmacist's recommendation dated September 22, 2025, or October 21, 2025. A consultant pharmacist report dated March 19, 2026, requested that Resident 12's physician evaluate Resident 12's psychotropic drug therapy medications (due for evaluation of dose decrease, increase, or change in therapy): Sertraline (Zoloft, an antidepressant), Trazodone, Topamax (anti-seizure medication), Clonazepam (an antianxiety medication), Wellbutrin (an antidepressant), and Haldol (an antipsychotic). The physician's response dated May 4, 2026 (more than a month later), instructed to address the report with psychiatry. A May 11, 2026, progress note (almost two months from the date of the consultant pharmacist report dated March 19, 2026) from the facility's psychiatric provider did not reference the consultant pharmacist report dated March 19, 2026. The surveyor reviewed the above concerns related to Resident 12's consultant pharmacist recommendations during interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 (registered nurse) on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM and July 24, 2026, at 10:30 AM. 28 Pa.

Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the highest practical care to promote pressure ulcer healing for one of one resident reviewed for pressure ulcers (Resident 104). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 104 revealed social services documentation dated June 4, 2026, at 9:42 PM that noted the resident was admitted to the facility. Clinical record review for Resident 104 revealed a diagnoses list that included a displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur (a type of broken hip). A Medicare 5-Day Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated June 8, 2026, revealed that facility staff assessed Resident 104 as having a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 3, which indicated cognitive impairment. A skin and wound note dated June 5, 2026, at 2:36 PM noted the resident has two unstageable (severe full-thickness skin and tissue loss with undetermined depth) pressure ulcers present on admission which included one to the left sacrum (a bone in the lower back) and one to the coccyx (a bone at the base of the spine). The treatment recommendations from the medical provider for both wounds included cleanse with wound cleaner / normal saline; apply Santyl (a topical medication to promote healing of skin wounds) to the base of the wound; secure with superabsorbent; change daily. A physician order dated June 5, 2026, at 12:45 PM noted to cleanse the sacral wound with wound cleanser, pat dry with a 4x4 gauze pad and apply a layer of Santyl; cover with sacral opti-foam (a multi-layer wound covering) every dayshift for wound to sacrum. The order was discontinued on June 23, 2026.

F689D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure an environment free from potential accident hazards for two of seven residents reviewed for accident hazards (Residents 5 and 14).Findings include: Observation of the nurses' station on July 22, 2026, at 9:42 AM revealed a device on the wall with a red flashing light with an audible hi-pitched alarm sounding. A computer screen below the flashing red light noted, Door Alarm, Common Smokers Patio, with the Age of the alarm at 27 minutes at that time. The alarm continued to sound with the visual signal until 9:47 AM without evidence that staff who were in the nurses' station at the time responded to the area indicated by the system to have a concern for a potentially unsecured exit door. Observation of the nurses' station on July 22, 2026, at 10:34 AM again revealed that the smoker's patio door was alarming by the visual and audible alarm. Observation of the smoker's patio from the common hallway on July 22, 2026, at 10:36 AM revealed a male resident sitting on his walker seat outside the glass door. Several staff walked through the area without responding to the door alarm or verifying the safety of the resident(s) outside the building. The surveyor began to exit the patio door and observed Employee 3 (activities director) sitting on the patio with a total of three residents. Employee 3 was not visible from the common hallway. Interview with Employee 3 on the date and time of the observation revealed that she had no way to turn off the door alarm (via a white button on the box mounted on the door that she cannot access once she takes residents through the door) once she exited the building. Employee 3 stated that staff are to respond once the alarm activates (by the opening of the patio door) to turn off the alarm. The alarm continued to sound without staff response on July 22, 2026, until 10:52 AM (sixteen additional minutes) when the three residents returned inside with Employee 3 and she discontinued the alarm. Two staff remained in the nurses' station and several employees walked through the common hallway and common dining room areas without checking for the safety of residents during the activation of an unsecured exit door alarm. Observation of the nurses' station on July 22, 2026, at 11:53 AM revealed that the smoker's patio door alarmed. Three staff were present at the nurses' station within the alarm's auditory and visual signals; however, no staff reported to the area to determine the cause of the alarm. The alarm continued to signal a potential security concern until 12:00 PM. Clinical record review of Resident 5's active physician orders revealed instructions for Resident 5 to have a Secure care (bracelet-type device meant to alarm should the device come in close proximity to an alarm box typically mounted at an exit door) on at all times, and staff are to check the placement and function of the device every shift. Review of a plan of care created by the facility on January 12, 2025, to address Resident 5's elopement risk and history of attempts to leave facility unattended revealed interventions that included a secure care device. Observation of Resident 5 on July 22, 2026, at 10:57 AM revealed her ambulating independently with her roller walker in and out of her room and in the hallways. Observation of Resident 5 on July 22, 2026, at 11:01 AM revealed her ambulating to the area near the smoker's patio exit door. Resident 5 sat in a chair in the area near the smoker's patio exit door. The smoker's patio exit door was not equipped with a secure care alarm box. Clinical record review for Resident 5 revealed nursing documentation dated April 4, 2026, at 11:37 AM that she had an unwitnessed fall outside the dining room (in the area near the exit door to the smoker's patio). Nursing documentation dated April 6, 2026, at 1:30 PM revealed that Resident 5 self-transfers and ambulates independently. Nursing documentation dated May 26, 2026, at 4:05 PM indicated that Resident 5 was exhibiting exit-seeking behavior. Social services documentation dated June 11, 2026, at 10:23 AM noted that Resident 5 had cognitive impairment, poor adjustment to placement with times of agitation and confusion with poor safety awareness, was able to use a walker to move freely about the facility and exhibited daily wandering at will. Resident 5 had the potential to leave the facility unattended at all hours and had several documented exit-seeking behaviors since her last review. The interdisciplinary team discussed that Resident 5 had confusion and was often at the front entrance; and that the secure care device remained appropriate for safety. Nursing documentation dated June 13, 2026, at 10:30 AM noted that Resident 5 became increasingly agitated throughout the shift and wanted to leave the facility. Nursing documentation dated June 16, 2026, at 10:59 PM noted that Resident 5 was exit-seeking in the beginning of second shift. Nursing documentation dated June 19, 2026, at 2:06 PM noted that Resident 5 was continuously exit-seeking; and was walking back-and-forth. Nursing documentation dated June 26, 2026, at 9:24 PM noted that Resident 5 was exit-seeking and became verbally and physically aggressive when staff tried to redirect her (throwing her walker). Nursing documentation dated July 12, 2026, at 12:06 PM noted that Resident 5 was exit-seeking through the front entrance. The evidence above indicated that the lack of staff response to an alarm for an unsecured exit door posed a potential safety hazard for Resident 5. Clinical record review for Resident 14 revealed an admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs) dated April 15, 2026, that assessed her to have wandering behaviors that placed her at significant risk of getting to a potentially dangerous place (e.g., stairs, outside of the facility). Review of a plan of care created by the facility on April 13, 2026, to address Resident 14's elopement risk with potential for invasive behaviors and impaired safety awareness revealed a goal that Resident 14 would not leave the facility unattended. Interventions included in the plan of care identified that Resident 14 liked to sit outdoors and displayed recreational wandering. The interventions also included a secure care device that would be monitored for function per protocol. A plan of care developed by the facility to address Resident 14's risk for elopement created on April 13, 2026, included the goal that she would remain safe and secure within the facility and listed interventions that included staff would always be aware of her location. Observation of the nurses' station on July 23, 2026, at 10:22 AM revealed that the audible and visual alarm continued alerting a potential concern at the smoker's patio exit door until 10:25 AM while staff remained in the nurses' station. The surveyor requested that the staff at the nurses' station call the maintenance director on July 23, 2026, at 10:37 AM (while the smoker's patio door alarm continued). Employee 2 (maintenance director) arrived at the nurses' station on July 23, 2026, at 10:40 AM and confirmed that the audible and visual alarm at the nurses' station was for the exit door to the smoking area patio. Observation of the door with Employee 2 on July 23, 2026, at 10:40 AM confirmed that the door is never hard locked and that the door led to an outside patio and yard area that was secured with a locked gate. Employee 2 stated that only certain staff (maintenance, activities, and nursing supervisor on second shift) would have the key to disengage the alarm on the door. If that alarm is disengaged, staff would hear an alarm at the nurses' station only (the one identified as not responded to by staff) when that door is opened. Interview with Employee 3 on the date and time of the observation with Employee 2 reiterated that staff are to check the door when she exits with residents (that causes the alarm at the nurses' station to alarm), press the button that she cannot reach from outside the door, and the alarm will cease to continue the audible and visual alarm at the nurses' station. Observation of Resident 14 on July 23, 2026, at 10:50 AM revealed her independently self-propelling her wheelchair in the vicinity of the smoker's patio exit door. Observation of Resident 14 on July 24, 2026, at 12:06 PM revealed her to be self-propelling her wheelchair by the smoker's patio exit door. The evidence above indicated that the lack of staff response to an alarm for an unsecured exit door posed a potential safety hazard for Resident 14. The surveyor reviewed the above safety concerns during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 (registered nurse) on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM. 483.25(d)(1)(2) Free of Accident Hazards/supervision/devicesPreviously cited deficiency 8/8/25 28 Pa.

Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, observation, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement care consistent with professional standards of practice to prevent potential complications from a dialysis access site for one of one resident reviewed for dialysis concerns (Resident 117).Findings include: Review of the facility's current procedure entitled Disconnecting PD (peritoneal dialysis) includes step by step directions for the procedure after completion of Resident 117's peritoneal dialysis (a treatment that uses the lining of your belly to filter blood when kidneys fail, accessed through a port located directly through the abdominal wall and connected to external tubing, also referred to as PD). This order of events in this document state that the resident's door should closed, staff should apply a mask, and then wash hands and apply gloves, prior to accessing the PD port. Observations on July 23, 2026, at 8:10 AM of Resident 117's disconnecting PD procedure, revealed that Employee 6, registered nurse, without performing any hand hygiene, placed gloves on before entering Resident 117's room. Employee 6 then entered the resident's room without closing the door and then applied a mask located in the resident's bedside table. Employee 6 continued to complete the procedure with the same gloves. Further review of facility documentation revealed that Employee 6 had not received any training from the facility related to Resident 117's PD. The above information was reviewed with the Nursing Home administrator and Employee 5, registered nurse, on July 23, 2026, at 2:30 PM. 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(3)(5) Nursing services

Based on a review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, observation, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assess all potential risk areas for entrapment for two of seven residents with enabler bars for accident hazards (Residents 86 and 99); and obtain informed consent for use of enabler bars for one of seven residents reviewed for accident hazards (Resident 86). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 99 revealed a diagnosis list that included difficulty in walking and muscle weakness. A quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated June 28, 2026, revealed that facility staff assessed Resident 99 as having a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 15, which indicated no cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan for Resident 99 revealed the resident is at risk for falls related to difficulty in walking. An intervention included: requires the use of assist rails while in bed to enable to turn and reposition and assist staff with turning and repositioning. Further review of the care plan for Resident 99 revealed the resident has an ADL (activities of daily living) self-care performance deficit related to muscle weakness and difficulty in walking. An intervention included bilateral grab bars to bed to aid in independence and bed mobility. Observation and concurrent interview with Resident 99 on July 22, 2026, at 11:17 AM revealed bilateral enabler bars attached to the resident's bed. The resident reported he uses the enabler bars to help position. A request by the surveyor for documentation (evidence of informed consent, entrapment zone measurements, and any risk assessments) related to Resident 99's enabler bars was made to the facility during a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5, registered nurse, on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The facility provided documentation titled, Nursing Acknowledgement of Physical Device - V2, dated January 17, 2025, at 1:28 PM. However, this document did not contain any entrapment zone measurements. A follow-up meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator on July 24, 2026, at 10:57 AM revealed that the facility could provide no further documentation to indicate the potential entrapment zones were assessed for Resident 99's enabler bars. Clinical record review for Resident 86 revealed a diagnosis list that included repeated falls. A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed that facility staff assessed Resident 86 as having a BIMS of 14, which indicated no cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan for Resident 86 revealed the resident has an ADL self-care performance deficit related to generalized weakness. An intervention included grab bars on the bed to enable to assist with bed mobility. Observation and concurrent interview with Resident 86 on July 22, 2026, at 10:33 AM revealed bilateral enabler bars on the resident's bed. The resident reported she uses the enabler bars to get in and out of bed. A request by the surveyor for documentation (evidence of informed consent, entrapment zone measurements, and any risk assessments) related to Resident 86's enabler bars was made to the facility during meetings on July 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM and July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The facility provided documentation for Resident 86 titled, Nursing Physical Device Review - V6, dated March 23, 2026, at 6:16 PM. However, this document did not contain any entrapment zone measurements or documentation of informed consent related to the enabler bars. A follow-up meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator on July 24, 2026, at 10:57 AM revealed that the facility could provide no further documentation to indicate the potential entrapment zones were assessed or informed consent was obtained for Resident 86's enabler bars. 28 Pa.

Only three potential target behaviors (hallucinations, delusions, and agitation) were recorded on the monthly flow records. A consultant pharmacist report dated September 22, 2025, requested that Resident 12's physician complete a semi-annual evaluation for the continued use of Zoloft (Sertraline) and Haldol. The physician's response on October 13, 2025, noted that Resident 12's psychotropic medications were managed by psychiatry. A consultant pharmacist report dated October 21, 2025, requested that Resident 12's physician complete a semi-annual evaluation for the continued use of Trazodone and Clonazepam. The physician's response on October 31, 2025, again noted that Resident 12's psychotropic medications were managed by psychiatry. Resident 12's clinical record contained progress note documentation by the facility's contracted psychiatry provider dated July 22, 2025, and May 11, 2026. There was no evidence that the facility's contracted psychiatry provider responded to the consultant pharmacist's recommendation dated September 22, 2025, or October 21, 2025. A consultant pharmacist report dated March 19, 2026, requested that Resident 12's physician evaluate Resident 12's psychotropic drug therapy medications (due for evaluation of dose decrease, increase, or change in therapy): Sertraline, Trazodone, Topamax, Clonazepam, Wellbutrin, and Haldol. The physician's response dated May 4, 2026 (more than a month later), instructed to address the report with psychiatry. A May 11, 2026, progress note (almost two months from the date of the consultant pharmacist report dated March 19, 2026) from the facility's psychiatric provider did not reference the consultant pharmacist report dated March 19, 2026. The surveyor reviewed the above concerns related to the lack of ongoing behavior and potential side effect monitoring for Resident 12's psychoactive medications and routine reviews for potential gradual dose reductions during interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 (registered nurse) on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM and July 24, 2026, at 10:30 AM. 28 Pa.

Based on clinical record review and family and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected a resident's status for three of 22 residents reviewed (Residents 6, 14, and 65).Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 6 revealed a diagnoses list that included Parkinson's disease (progressive neurological disorder that affects movement due to degeneration of nerve cells in the brain) since October 1, 2023, contracture (permanent shortening of muscles, tendons, or other soft tissues that restrict normal joint movement and cause deformity) of the left hand since October 25, 2022, and contracture of muscle, unspecified, since November 8, 2021. An active physician's order dated September 15, 2023, instructed staff to place a carrot splint (soft, tubular, positioning device) to Resident 6's left hand every shift with gentle passive range-of-motion for management of hand range-of-motion. A quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs) dated January 6, 2026, identified that Resident 6 had range-of-motion (ROM) impairments of both upper extremities and both lower extremities. A quarterly MDS dated [DATE], assessed Resident 6 as having no ROM impairments. Nursing documentation dated May 21, 2026, at 1:18 PM indicated that Resident 6 returned from a pain management appointment that incorporated Botox injections (injections of the protein toxin from a bacterium that relaxes muscles and/or blocks nerve signals) for left arm and hand contractures. A quarterly MDS dated [DATE], assessed Resident 6 as having ROM impairments of both upper extremities and both lower extremities. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 (registered nurse) on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM confirmed that staff errantly coded Resident 6's April 8, 2026, MDS to indicate that she had no ROM impairments. Clinical record review for Resident 65 revealed a quarterly MDS dated [DATE], that indicated that she had received one insulin (injectable hormone, insulin, used to lower blood sugar) injection in the seven-day lookback period. Review of Resident 65's medication regime for May 2026 revealed no evidence that Resident 65 received insulin. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 on July 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM confirmed that staff errantly coded Resident 65's May 13, 2026, MDS to indicate that she had received insulin. Interview with Resident 14's husband on July 21, 2026, at 12:54 PM revealed that Resident 14 wears glasses, however, she lost her glasses while living at the facility and staff cannot find them. Clinical record review for Resident 14 revealed that the facility admitted her on April 10, 2026. Resident 14's profile picture in her electronic medical record revealed that she wore glasses. A nursing admission progress note dated April 10, 2026, at 4:30 PM indicated that Resident 14 had glasses; that she was wearing a corrective vision appliance on admission. An admission MDS assessment dated [DATE], noted that staff completed the assessment of Resident 14's vision while she was not wearing any corrective lenses (defined as contacts, glasses, or magnifying glass). Review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) manual for the vision section of the MDS assessment instructs that: Steps for Assessment include to ensure that the resident's customary visual appliance for close vision is in place (e.g., eyeglasses, magnifying glass). Planning for Care includes knowing if corrective lenses were used when determining the ability to see to allow better identification of evaluation and management needs. Residents with eyeglasses or other visual appliances should be assisted in accessing them. Use and maintenance should be included in care planning. Review of available plans of care for Resident 14 since her admission to the facility failed to provide evidence that the facility incorporated Resident 14's use of glasses in her plan of care. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 5 on July 24, 2026, at 10:30 AM confirmed the above findings for Resident 14. The facility failed to ensure that Resident 14 wore typically used glasses during the completion of the MDS assessment and failed to include the use of glasses in her plan of care. 28 Pa.

Based on clinical record review, review of facility documentation, and staff and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for two of 22 residents reviewed (Residents 2 and 97). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 2 revealed a diagnosis list that included the presence of a cardiac pacemaker (an electronic device to help regulate the beating of the heart). A quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) for Resident 2 dated May 17, 2026, revealed an active diagnosis of the presence of a cardiac pacemaker. Documentation dated March 31, 2026, at 5:16 PM revealed a chest x-ray that was completed and noted a pacemaker. Review of Resident 2's care plan revealed no current comprehensive, person-centered care plan that addressed the resident's pacemaker, any pertinent assessments related to the pacemaker and/or clinical care, or any associated precautions.

Based on clinical review, review of select facility policy and procedures, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to promote sufficient fluid intake to maintain hydration for one of 18 residents sampled (Resident 1). Findings include: The "Hydration Policy," reviewed December 2, 2010, indicates that 25 cc (cubic centimeters) of fluid per kg (kilogram) of weight is recommended for residents with congestive heart conditions. If a resident consumes less than 900 cc of fluid per day, the facility will place that resident on a Fluid Alert List and report it to the unit nurse. The unit nurse will investigate the resident's fluid consumption as well as skin turgor (the skin's ability to change shape and return to normal), and document the findings on the Fluid Alert List. The residents with a three day pattern of insufficient fluid consumption will be placed on "Fluid Alert." The policy entitled "Fluid Alert Program," reviewed December 2, 2010, indicates that the nursing staff will automatically refer residents with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. "Dining Skills" will review the resident's hydration status and fluid intake, and then make specific recommendations for interventions to ensure hydration. The Registered Dietitian, Diet Technician, or Food Service Supervisor will document the interventions in the resident's progress notes and update the plan of care. A Nutritional Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the Registered Dietitian assessed Resident 1 as needing at least 1775 cc of fluid per day to maintain hydration. The Registered Dietitian used Resident 1's average body weight of 155 pounds, and not her actual body weight of 229 pounds. Using the recommended 25 cc of fluid per kilogram of Resident 1's actual weight, would indicate that she needed to consume at least 2600 cc of fluid per day to maintain her hydration. A laboratory report dated February 7, 2011, indicated that Resident 1's blood urea nitrogen (BUN, if elevated could be an indicator of dehydration) was normal at 19 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter, normal range is 8-25 mg/dl). A laboratory report dated February 10, 2011, indicated that Resident 1's BUN was now slightly elevated at 27 mg/dl. The nursing documentation dated February 13, 2011, at 10:00 PM, indicated that Resident 1's physician started her on an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection. There was no evidence in Resident 1's clinical record to indicate that the facility referred Resident 1 to "Dining Skills," the Registered Dietitian, or the Diet Technician to review her hydration status or fluid intake, and then make specific recommendations for interventions to ensure Resident 1's hydration. Review of Resident 1's daily fluid intakes from February 7 through March 8, 2011, revealed that Resident 1 only met her recommended daily fluid intake of 1775 cc's, three days in that 30 day period. Resident 1 went below the threshold of 900 cc of fluid intake on the following days: February 27, 2011, 720 cc March 3, 2011, 740 cc March 5, 2011, 720 cc March 7, 2011, 360 cc March 8, 2011, 860 cc There was no evidence in Resident 1's clinical record to indicate that the facility placed her on the Fluid Alert List and reported it to the unit nurse when her daily fluid intakes were below 900 cc's. There was no evidence that the unit nurse investigated Resident 1's fluid consumption. The nursing documentation dated February 20, 2011, at 10:35 PM, indicated that Resident 1 had increased confusion. The nursing documentation dated February 27, 2011, at 8:30 PM, revealed that Resident 1 was lethargic (lacking in alertness). The nursing documentation dated March 4, 2011, at 6:30 PM, revealed that Resident 1 was again lethargic and that her diet intake was poor. A dietary note dated March 8, 2011, at 7:51 AM, revealed that Resident 1's fluid intakes were poor, and that the Dietary Technician was going to discuss further fluid interventions with the Food Service Supervisor and implement interventions as needed. There was no evidence in Resident 1's clinical record that the Dietary Technician or the Food Service Supervisor implemented interventions to promote Resident 1's hydration. The nursing documentation dated March 9, 2011, indicated that the facility sent Resident 1 to the emergency department due to unresponsiveness. The hospital assessment dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 1 was lethargic, unresponsive, had no [MEDICAL CONDITION] (swelling of the feet and/or legs), had an elevated BUN of 89 mg/dl, and that the emergency department would be initiating an intravenous of normal saline. A physician's progress note dated March 23, 2011, indicated that Resident 1 had a recent volume depletion. There was no evidence in Resident 1's clinical record to indicate that the facility developed a plan of care to address her hydration status, assessed Resident 1's hydration status when she was not meeting her daily fluid requirements, or implemented interventions to promote Resident 1's hydration. Interview with the Director of Nursing on June 16, 2011, at 9:45 AM, confirmed the above findings. 483.25(j) Sufficient Fluid to Maintain Hydration Previously cited 5/14/10 28 Pa.
