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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
facility policy review, clinical record reviews, resident rights, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to offer the option to formulate an advanced directive and provided no documentation
pertaining to resident's choices for advanced directives, or documenting how the resident was informed of
his/her right to develop a living will or advanced directive, for three of 38 records reviewed; and failed to
document the correct code status on the care plan to match the POLST (Pennsylvania Orders for
Life-Sustaining Treatment) for one of 38 residents reviewed (Residents 40, 54, 72, and 88).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record for Resident 40 on November 14, 2023, revealed Resident with diagnoses
that include Dementia (irreversible, progressive degenerative disease of the brain, resulting in loss of reality
contact and functioning ability) and Atrial Fibrillation (irregular and rapid heart-beat).
A review of the POLST form dated May 20, 2022, revealed full code status (attempt resuscitation) was
checked then scribbled out and changed to DNR (do not resuscitate) status.
A review of Resident 40's current care plan dated November 2023 is documented that Resident 40 is full
code status originally created entered March 29, 2022, and revised on September 18, 2023, as full code
status.
A review of the Physician orders dated September 14, 2023, revealed that the Resident is currently a DNR
status.
A review of the clinical record revealed a nurses note dated May 18, 2022, that stated, RP (responsible
person) notified for code status and RP requested DNR verbal consent/witnessed.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 15, 2023, at 1:30 PM, the
NHA agreed that Resident 40's code status should be accurately documented to match the POLST status.
A review of the facility policy titled, Advance Directives, last reviewed September 23, 2023, defined an
Advance Directive as a written instruction, such as a living will or durable power of attorney for health care,
recognized by State law, relating to the provisions of health care when the individual is incapacitated. The
policy further stated, in part: 1) Upon admission, the resident will be provided with written information
concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or surgical

Respond appropriately to all alleged violations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policy, clinical record review, review of facility incident report, and staff
interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to conduct a timely and thorough investigation to rule out
abuse, neglect, or mistreatment following an unwitnessed fall for one of 12 residents reviewed for falls
(Resident 138).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Review of facility policy, titled Abuse Policy with last review date of September 23, 2023, revealed, The
Facility shall have processes in place to include screening, training, prevention, identification, protection,
investigation, reporting and response to allegations of potential or actual abuse and neglect.
The policy defined neglect as the failure of the facility, its employees or service providers to provide goods
and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish or emotional
distress.
Review of Resident 138's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included unsteadiness on feet, repeated
falls, mild cognitive impairment (a condition in which someone has minor problems with their mental
abilities, such as memory or thinking), and orthostatic hypotension (form of low blood pressure that
happens when standing up from lying or sitting down).
Review of Resident 138's progress notes revealed a note dated September 4, 2023, at 7:15 PM, which
indicated that Resident 138 was found on the floor in his room with his blanket, and that he stated he was
looking for his blanket and had found it on the floor. The note further indicated that Resident 138 was noted
to have a skin tear/abrasion to his right elbow (for which a treatment was provided), and that he was placed
back in bed and was using the urinal.
Review of facility provided incident report for Resident 138's fall on September 4, 2023, at 7:15 PM,
indicated in the section of the report titled Nursing Description, that the Resident was found on the floor in
doorway.
Review of the section of the report titled Resident Description, revealed the following: Resident stated he
needed to urinate and requested assistance to the toilet. Resident states that assistance was denied by the
aide and that he should use his urinal in bed. It further stated, Resident insisted on using toilet as usual and
attempted to ambulate to toilet independently and fell.
In the section titled Description of Action Taken it was documented aide assigned should position self in
assigned area hallway and not congregate with other aides in resident common area.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 16, 2023, at 9:35 AM, the
aforementioned accident documentation discrepancy between Resident 138's progress notes and the
incident report was shared. NHA was questioned at that time if the event had been investigated as a
potential neglect allegation. She indicated that she would have to look into this concern and get back to me.
During a follow-up interview with the NHA and Director of Nursing (DON) on November 16, 2023, at 11:45
AM, it was again requested that any additional information regarding this incident be provided

and not congregate with other aides in resident common area.
During a follow-up interview with the NHA and DON on November 16, 2023, at 1:33 PM, the DON provided
a copy of notes from a phone interview with the Aide that was working on the evening the fall occurred,
which was dated for November 16, 2023, at 1:05 PM. These notes indicated that the Aide did not recall the
Resident's incident, but that they always use two staff with Resident contact. The notes further indicated
that the Aide never told the Resident to use the urinal instead of assisting him to the bathroom. The NHA
and DON both confirmed that no investigation for possible neglect was completed at the time of the
September 4, 2023; however, the NHA indicated that all incidents are reviewed in their morning meeting.
DON indicated that they are trying to get a process together for a more thorough review of incidents with
the team members. NHA further indicated that the Unit Manager addressed the concern at the time it
occurred as stated in the incident report, but that they had no other documentation to provide and that this
Unit Manager was no longer employed at the facility.

Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a
significant change assessment (change to hospice status) was completed for one of 38 residents reviewed
(Resident 18).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident 18's clinical record on November 14, 2023, revealed diagnoses that included
Dementia (irreversible, progressive degenerative disease of the brain, resulting in loss of reality contact and
functioning ability) and Atrial Fibrillation (irregular and rapid heart-beat).
Review of the clinical record for Resident 18 on November 14, 2023, revealed the Resident was ordered a
consult with the hospice service (special kind of care that provide comfort, support, and dignity at the end
of life) on July 21, 2023.
On July 25, 2023, the facility completed a Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic
assessment of resident's needs), but the significant change MDS was not coded for hospice under Section
O. Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs.
On August 5, 2023, the physician wrote an order for an evaluation and treatment with the hospice service.
There was no significant change MDS completed after that date or before the next Quarterly MDS
assessment.
Review of the Quarterly MDS completed in October 2023 revealed it was coded for hospice under Section
O. Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 15, 2023, at 1:30 PM, the
NHA confirmed a significant change assessment should have been completed and coded for hospice
status.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the
resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for six of 39 residents reviewed (Resident 4,
72, 77, 138, 143, and 151).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings Include:
Review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Multiple sclerosis (a disease in
which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves) and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe).
Review of Resident 4's MDS (Minimum Data Set is part of the federally mandated process for clinical
assessment of all Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes) dated August 21, 2023, revealed that
section M0150. Risk of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries (Is this resident at risk of developing pressure
ulcers/injuries?) was marked 0. No. Further review of Section M0300. C1. Number of Stage 3 pressure
ulcers was marked 1, indicating Resident 4 has one stage 3 pressure ulcer.
Review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], revealed that section M0150. Risk of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries
(Is this resident at risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries?) was marked 1. Yes.
Review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], revealed that section M0150. Risk of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries

medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
residents were free from unnecessary antipsychotic medication for one of five residents reviewed for
unnecessary medications (Resident 143).
Findings include:
Review of Resident 143's clinical record on November 14, 2023, at approximately 9:30 AM, revealed
diagnoses that included hypertension (elevated/high blood pressure) and chronic kidney disease stage 3
(moderate decrease in the ability of the kidneys to filter toxins from the blood).
Review of Resident 143's physician orders revealed that on June 22, 2023, Resident 143 was ordered
Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and other mental health disorders) 50
milligrams (mg - metric unit of measure) twice a day with the indication for use documented as unspecified
encephalopathy (broad term used for a disease that alters functioning of the brain).
Review of Resident 143's clinical record revealed a Consultant Pharmacist Communication to Physician
(also referred to as a medication regimen review), dated July 14, 2023.
Review of the medication regimen review revealed the pharmacist's communication to the physician for the
physician to clarify the diagnosis for the Seroquel as encephalopathy was not an appropriate diagnosis for
the medication per Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
As a result of the pharmacist's recommendation, the attending physician changed the diagnosis for the
Seroquel order to bipolar disorder, which was recorded in Resident 143's electronic physician orders as,
Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, which is a condition defined by psychotic symptoms such as
hallucinations, delusions, as well as symptoms of a mood disorder such as periods of mania and/or
depression.
Review of Resident 143's clinical record, including pre-admission hospital records, revealed no indication or
clinical assessment to diagnose Resident 143 with schizoaffective disorder. Further review of Resident
143's clinical record, including pre-admission hospital records, revealed no indication of hallucinations,
delusions, mania, or depressive symptoms.
During a staff interview on November 16, 2023, at approximately 1:35 PM, Director of Nursing revealed he
was unable to identify a clinically appropriate rationale for the diagnosis and for the use of an antipsychotic
medication at that time.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, staff interviews, and clinical record review, it was determined that the facility failed
to ensure that it was free from a medication error rate of five percent or greater based on two medication
errors out of 31 opportunities.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Observation of medication administration on November 15, 2023, at 8:42 AM, revealed Employee 1
(Licensed Practical Nurse) administering Symbicort Aerosol 80-4.5 MCG/ACT (Budesonide-Formoterol
Fumarate) Inhaler and diclofenac sodium gel 1% to Resident 7.
Review of Resident 7's physician orders revealed orders for Symbicort Aerosol 80-4.5 MCG/ACT
(Budesonide-Formoterol Fumarate) two puffs (an inhaled medication) for acute respiratory failure with
hypoxia (condition that occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood) with specific
directions to rinse mouth and spit after administration; and diclofenac sodium gel 1% apply to bilateral
knees topically two times a day with specific directions to apply four grams for generalized osteoarthritis
(degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, causing pain and stiffness especially in the hip,
knee, and thumb joints).
Employee 1 was not observed to provide Resident 7 with water or to instruct her to rinse and spit after the
Symbicort inhaler was administered. Employee 1 was also not observed to measure the diclofenac sodium
gel 1% to obtain and administer the ordered dose of four grams. Employee 1 just squirted a small
unmeasured amount on her gloved hand and applied it to Resident 7's knee.
During an interview with Employee 1 on November 15, 2023, at approximately 9:02 AM, Employee 1
confirmed that she should have had Resident 7 rinse her mouth after the inhaler was administered as
directed in the order. She further confirmed that she should have measured the diclofenac sodium gel to
obtain the ordered dose. She said that there is usually a paper ruler located in the box with the gel cream to
measure by, but that there was not one in the box.
During medication administration observation there were two errors and 31 opportunities, resulting in a
medication error rate of 6.45%.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 15, 2023, at 9:58 AM, the
aforementioned medication errors were shared. The NHA confirmed that she would expect meds to have
been administered as per physician orders and that special instructions or directions would be followed.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on record review, staff interview, and policy review, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
documentation of controlled medication disposition and reason for one of three closed records reviewed
(Resident 168).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Disposal of Medications and Medication-Related Supplies, last reviewed
March 2023, confirms that disposition of the medication and reason for the disposition should be
documented on the Resident's controlled substance record.
A review of the clinical record for Resident 168 on November 15, 2023, revealed that the Resident was
transferred to the hospital on October 7, 2023, and passed away at the hospital October 8, 2023.
A review of the closed record controlled substance forms revealed the Resident was receiving Tramadol
(controlled pain medication) 50 milligrams and had 17 tablets remaining at the time of transfer. The licensed
staff failed to document the disposition (how the medication was disposed) or reason why the medication
was disposed.
A review of the closed record controlled substance forms revealed the Resident was receiving A/B/H Gel (a
topical controlled pain medication made up of Ativan 0.5 mg, Benadryl 12.5 mg, and Haldol 0.5 mg) and
had 42 syringes remaining at the time of transfer. The licensed staff failed to document the disposition (how
the medication was disposed) or reason why the medication was disposed.

Provide or obtain dental services for each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on resident and staff interviews, policy review, and record review, the facility failed to assist residents
in obtaining routine and emergency dental services for one of 39 residents (Resident 4).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility's Dental Examination/Assessment Policy, last reviewed September 2023, revealed that
residents should be offered dental services as needed and, upon conducting a dental examination, a
resident needing dental services will be promptly referred to a dentist.
Review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Multiple sclerosis (a disease in
which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves) and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe).
During an interview with Resident 4 on November 13, 2023, at 10:13 AM, Resident 4 stated that he was not
currently wearing his dentures because he only has them for his top teeth and is still waiting to get them for
his bottom teeth. Resident 4 pointed to his TV stand and showed the surveyor a green case that his top
denture was in.
Review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed a dental consult dated March 9, 2022, the treatment notes
stated that Resident 4 lost both his upper complete denture and lower partial denture and would like new
ones to be fabricated as he has difficulty chewing and eating without his teeth. The recommended
treatment included for Resident 4 to have fabrication of full upper denture and fabrication of partial lower
denture completed.
Review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed a dental consult dated July 13, 2022, for denture step 1:
impression for a upper complete denture.
Review of a dental consult dated September 2, 2022, revealed it was for denture step 3 for Resident 4.
Review of Resident 4's clinical record and dental consults provided no further documentation regarding
Resident 4's lower partial dentures.
Electronic mail received from the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 16, 2023, at 6:19 AM,
revealed a document showing Resident 4 on the list to see the dentist on the next scheduled visit, which
was November 22, 2023, and had a written note at the bottom that they will electronically mail a request for
the dentist to evaluate Resident 4's dentures.
During and interview with the NHA on November 16, 2023, at 11:38 AM, revealed she would have expected
Resident 4's lower partial dentures to have been acted upon if the recommendation was made in March
2022.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on resident and staff interviews, policy review, observations, and clinical record review, it was
determined that the facility failed to implement infection control practices to prevent the transmission of
infectious disease for one of one resident reviewed for transmission based precautions (Resident 105);
failed to maintain a data collection system of surveillance for three of 12 months reviewed (December 2022,
January 2023, and April 2023); and failed to maintain an effective infection control program related to the
preparation and administration of medications to one of three Residents observed (Resident 7).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy titled, Infection Control, last reviewed September 2023, revealed the facility will
maintain a monthly line list of residents with infections for trending and outbreak potential, follow-up review
of lab data is compared, and a monthly review is completed to identify trends to facilitate infection control
surveillance. The purpose of the surveillance of infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of
epidemiologically significant organisms and health-care associated infections, to guide appropriate
interventions and required reporting, and to prevent future infections.
The infection control line list for the past 12 months was requested on November 13, 2023.
During a review of the facility's monthly infection control logs the December 2022, January 2023, and April
2023 were unable to be provided by the facility. The facility did have QAPI notes that verified the facility had
infections during these months, but only the number of infections was documented.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 16, 2023 at 12:00 PM, the
NHA confirmed the monthly infection control line list data should be maintained and the December 2022,
January 2023, and April 2023 data is unable to be found.
Review of facility policy titled, Isolation - Categories of Transmission-Based Precautions, last revised
September 2022, the policy statement was, Transmission-based precautions are initiated when a resident
develops signs and symptoms of a transmissible infection; arrives for admission with symptoms of an
infection; or has a laboratory confirmed infection; and is at risk of transmitting the infection to other
residents.
Further review revealed policy section, Policy Interpretation and Implementation section 2 stated,
Transmission-based precautions are additional measures that protect staff, visitors and other residents from
becoming infected. These measures are determined by the specific pathogen and how it is spread from
person to person. The three types of transmission-based precautions are contact, droplet and airborne.
Section 5 stated, When a resident is placed on transmission-based precautions, appropriate notification is
placed on the room entrance door and on the front of the chart so that personnel and visitors are aware of
the need for and the type of precaution .The signage informs the staff of the type of CDC precaution(s),
instructions for use of [personal protective equipment] PPE, and/or instructions to see a nurse before
entering the room .
Review of Resident 105's clinical record on November 13, 2023, at approximately 2:00 PM, revealed
diagnoses that included necrotizing fasciitis (type of aggressive skin infection that causes
