Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to complete an accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for two of 12 sampled residents. (Residents 19 and 29) Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record revealed that Resident 19 had diagnoses that included cognitive communication deficit and major depressive disorder. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that Sections C (the Brief Interview for Mental Status) and D (the Mood assessment/interview) were incomplete. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 29 had diagnoses that included dementia and nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding within the brain in the absence of trauma or surgery). On December 21, 2024, the physician ordered that the facility provide hospice services. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed no documentation that resident had hospice services in place during the review period. The MDS assessment inaccurately reflected that the resident was not receiving hospice services. In an interview on May 21, 2025, at 12:50 p.m., the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) confirmed that Resident 19's and 29's MDS assessments were inaccurate. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure physician's orders were implemented for one of 12 sampled residents. (Resident 7) Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the policy entitled, Medication Administration, last reviewed January 31, 2025, revealed staff was to obtain vital signs if necessary, and document in the medical record the physician ordered medication administration information. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 7 had diagnoses that included atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat), chronic kidney disease, and hypertensive retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by chronic high blood pressure). On July 15, 2024, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medicine (metoprolol tartrate) twice a day. Staff was not to administer the medication if the heart rate was less than 60 beats per minute or if the resident's systolic blood pressure (the first measurement of blood pressure when the heart beats and the pressure is at its highest) was less than 110 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg). Review of Resident 7's April and May 2025 Medication Administration Records revealed that staff administered or held the medication 86 times with no documentation that the heart rate and blood pressure were assessed prior to medication administrating or holding of the medication per physician's order. In an interview on May 21, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed there was no documented evidence that the heart rate or the blood pressure were taken prior to medication administrating or holding of the medication per physician's order and they should have been there for Resident 7. 28 Pa.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement interventions to prevent further decline and/or improve range of motion for one of two sampled residents with limited range of motion. (Resident 26) Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 26 had diagnoses that included dementia, muscle weakness, and other abnormalities of gait and mobility. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident had cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and dressing. Review of the physical therapy progress note dated February 11, 2025, indicated that resident had limited range of motion to his right foot. On March 3, 2025, the physician ordered that staff apply a MAFO (molded ankle foot orthosis-a custom made brace that provided support and control) in Velcro closure sneakers to be worn at all times on the right foot when Resident 26 was out of bed. Observations on May 20, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. and 12:11 pm, and on May 21, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., revealed that Resident 26 was in his wheelchair without the MAFO brace on. In an interview on May 21, 2025, at 10:58 a.m., the Therapy Director confirmed that the resident was identified with a contracture (a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints) of his right foot, and that the MAFO brace should have been on when the resident was observed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on policy review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to administer medications in a manner that prevents the spread of infections on one of two nursing units. (West Wing) Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the facility policy entitled, Infection Control Plan: Standard Precautions, last reviewed January 31, 2025, revealed that gloves should be worn whenever exposure to the mucus membranes (soft tissue that lines the body's canals and organs, such as the eye) is planned or anticipated. On May 20, 2025, at 9:11 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 1 was observed administering medications to Resident 33. The nurse applied Ocusoft lid scrubs to the eyes of the resident with her ungloved hands.
