Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Based on policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
ensure each resident the right to formulate an advance directive for one of three residents reviewed
(Resident 39).Findings Include: An Advance Directive is defined as a written instruction, such as a living will
or durable power of attorney for health care, recognized under State law, relating to the provision of health
care when the individual is incapacitated. Review of the facility's policy, titled Advance Directives, revised
September 2022, reads, in part, 1. Prior to or upon admission of a resident, the social services director or
designee inquires of the resident, his/her family members, and/or his or her legal representative, about the
existence of any written advance directives. 2. The resident or representative is provided with written
information concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an
advance directive if he or she chooses to do so. 3. Written information about the right to accept or refuse
medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate an advance directive, is provided in a manner that
is easily understood by the resident or representative. 4. Written information includes a description of the
facility's policies to implement advance directives and applicable state law. Review of Resident 39's
physician orders revealed diagnoses that included hypertension (elevated blood pressure) and chronic
kidney disease (a disease characterized by progressive damage and loss of function in the kidneys).
Review of Resident 39's most recent Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment, dated
December 27, 2025, revealed the Resident scored a 15/15. This score denotes intact cognition. Continued
review of Resident 39's clinical record revealed no documentation to support staff review of the Resident's
right to formulate an Advance Directive. An interview with Employee 3 (Social Worker) on January 14, 2026,
at 12:35 PM, revealed that she had no documentation of the Resident being offered the opportunity to
formulate an Advance Directive. An additional interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on January
14, 2026, at 1:53 PM, revealed that the social work staff will be educated regarding the implementation of
the facility's Advance Directives policy. 28 Pa. Code 211.12 (d) (5) Nursing services

weight status and implement timely interventions to maintain adequate weight resulting in actual harm as
evidenced by continued weight loss for one of five residents reviewed (Resident 8).Findings include:Review
of facility policy, titled Weight Assessment and Intervention, revised March 2019, read, in part, the nursing
staff will measure residents' weight on admission, and then weekly for four weeks. Any weight change of 5
pounds or more since the last weight assessment will be retaken for confirmation. If the weight is verified,
nursing will notify the Physician and Dietitian.Review of the facility's policy, titled Weight Assessment and
Interventions, revised March 2019, reads, in part, The multidisciplinary team will strive to prevent, monitor,

making recommendations as appropriate. The Physician and the multidisciplinary team will identify
conditions and medications that may be causing anorexia, weight loss, or increasing the risk of weight loss
.for example, increased need for calories and/or protein.Weight loss is calculated using a formula to
determine the percentage of weight loss. In one month, a 5 % weight loss is considered significant loss and
greater and 5 % is severed loss. Over a three month period, 7.5 % is significant loss and greater than that
is considered severe weight loss.Review of Resident 5's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Further clinical record review revealed Resident 5 was transferred to the
hospital on December 5th, 2025, and returned to the facility on December 10, 2025.Review of Resident 5's

on November 13, 2025, Employee 1 also requested an order that read, Fortified Foods, diet Regular
Texture, Thin consistency.Review of the facility's policy, titled Fortified Foods [Foods First] Program, read,
The Fortified Foods 'Food First' program is a program for weight loss prevention and pressure ulcer
prevention and treatment that helps meet the individual nutritional needs in small volumes. The policy
continued, The focus on Food First aims to fortify the foods your facility already serves rather than add to
the volume and cost of food by providing additional supplements.According to the policy, Fortified Foods
are calorie boosters that include margarine or butter, peanut butter, fortified milk, whole milk, and fortified
soup.Review of the Dietary Note from Employee 1 on December 13, 2025, noted another WEIGHT

thin liquids diet consuming 51-100% of meals. Will continue interventions as ordered and extend weekly
weights x 4 weeks to best trend weight status.Review of Resident 8's meal ticket dated January 14, 2026,
for her lunch meal revealed a regular diet without special instructions for the addition of fortified foods.An
interview with Employee 1 on January 14, 2026, at 11:49 AM, confirmed she ordered weekly weights x 4 in
November 2025 and December 2025, and was aware staff were not documenting the weights per the
physician orders and Employee 1's recommendations. The interview also revealed that Employee 1
neglected to add the special instructions for Resident 8's diet and meal ticket to include fortified foods
beginning November 13, 2025, per the recommendation and the physician's order.During the interview on
January 14, 2026, Employee 1 made changes to Resident 8's clinical record, specifically the meal ticket, to
include the special instructions for the addition of Fortified Foods.Employee 1 stated an awareness that
Resident 8 weighed 121 lb at admission on [DATE], and at the most recent documented weight, dated
January 3, 2026, Resident 8 weighed 96.6 lb; a total of 24.4 lb in less than three months. According to
Employee 1, the ideal weight for Resident 8 would be calculated between 104 and 131 lb. Review of
Resident 8's clinical record revealed that weekly weights at admission on [DATE], ordered in November
2025 and December 2025, were not obtained weekly.Clinical record review, meal ticket review, and an
interview with Employee 1 revealed that the physician-ordered fortified foods were not provided to Resident
8 until January 14, 2026.According to calculations, Resident 8 experienced a non-physician-prescribed
weight loss of 20.1%.An interview with the Director of Nursing on January 13, 2026, at 1:27 PM, confirmed
the weekly weights ordered for Resident 8 were inconsistent. An interview with the NHA on January 14,
2026, at 12:48 PM, confirmed the fortified foods should have been added when introduced by Employee 1
and ordered by the physician on November 13, 2025.Resident 8 was identified as at risk for weight loss.
The Resident had a continuous downtrend in weights. She was ordered weekly weights that were not
consistently obtained and ordered fortified foods which were not put into place. Based on her nutritional
assessments, her nutritional needs were based off her consumption of the fortified foods, but she was not
receiving those extra nutrients, which contributed to continued weight loss totaling 24.4 lb (or 20.1%) in
three months. There was no dietary assessment from Employee 1 since January 5, 2026, and no additional
weight obtained since January 3, 2026.Review of Resident 85's clinical record revealed diagnoses that
included dysphagia and dementia (a condition characterized by progressive loss of intellectual functioning,
impairment of memory and abstract thinking). Further review of the clinical record documented Resident 85

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
Based on staff interview, clinical record review, and facility policy review, it was determined the facility failed
to develop a timely hospice baseline care plan, document a hospice physician order, or have an authorized
hospice agreement for one of three residents reviewed for hospice services (Resident 13).Findings include:
Review of the facility policy, titled Hospice Program, last reviewed July 25, 2025, stated, the agreement with
the hospital provider will be signed by the facility representative and a representative from the hospice
agency before hospice services are furnished to the resident. Review of the clinical record for Resident 13
revealed clinical diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (a.k.a. stroke-brain tissue death from a blocked
blood vessel), atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm), and hospice status (end of life services focusing on
comfort, pain management, and quality of life when a cure isn't possible). Review of Resident 13's
admission Minimum Date Set (MDS-periodic assessment and care screening) dated December 3, 2025,
reveals a BIMS (brief interview of mental status) score of 11, indicating moderately impaired cognitive
status. Section O- Special Treatments, Procedures and Programs, of the MDS indicated the Resident was
hospice status on admission to the facility November 26, 2025. Review of Resident 13's baseline care plan
revealed that it was created December 4, 2025, (8 days post-admission) and not within 48 hours of
admission. Review of Resident 13's physician orders for November 2025; December 2025; and January
2026 failed to reveal an order for hospice services. On January 13, 2026, the facility was requested to
provide a hospice agreement for the specific hospice agency providing care to Resident 13. The facility was
unable to provide an agreement until January 14, 2026, and that agreement was not signed by the hospice
agency. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on January 14, 2026, the NHA
confirmed the baseline care plan was not developed within 48 hours of admission, no physician order for
hospice in the medical record, and the hospice agreement was never authorized by the facility and hospice
agency prior to services being initiated at the facility. 28 Pa, Code 201.18(b)(1)(3) Management28 Pa Code
