She walked away and walked towards [Resident 63's] room, as she was walking she looked in the room, she stopped walking, turned around, and said to me 'please come help' I walked over, when I entered [Resident 63's] room, she was on the floor, supine position, directly in front of her wheelchair holding her neck and her head up off the floor. She was awake and alert, and aside from being on the floor- she did not appear to be in any acute distress. Her wheelchair was directly in from of [roommate's] bed facing the window. She was lying on the floor in the same direction as the chair, as if she just slid right off the seat on to the floor. After talking with staff, I found out that resident was just returned to her room not long before the incident. Her chair was close to the door, and call light, which was on the bed, was not within reach. She did have appropriate footwear on, sneakersno injuries were noted. All areas of skin intact, no bumps/bruises or abrasions noted. Wheels on chair were locked. Immediate Action Taken: Description: Resident assisted off of the floor by myself and three other staff members- 4 total. [Employee 10 (Nurse Aide), Employee 8, and another Employee 9 (Nurse Aide)] all helped put the resident back into bed. Bed was put in the lowest position, and call bell was placed within resident's reach. After verifying [Resident 63] knew how to use it, I spoke with staff who I know intended to put her in bed but walked away briefly due to the time (shift change) and emphasized the importance of always ensuring resident has their call bell in reach whenever they are in the room alone. Also discussed how [Resident 63] should not be left in the chair unsupervised at this time until reevaluated by [occupational therapy/physical therapy] to see if current chair is appropriate or if resident needs a different chair. Resident representative notified; medical doctor notified.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents who require dialysis receive such services consistent with professional standards and failed to maintain complete and accurate records related to dialysis communication for one of two residents reviewed for dialysis (Resident 158).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled End stage renal disease, Care of a Resident with, last revised January 2019, read, in part, Residents with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) will be cared for according to currently recognized standards of care. Examples of education and training of staff may include: The type of assessment data that is to be gathered about the resident's condition on a daily or per shift basis as required; Agreements between this facility and the contracted ESRD facility include all aspects of how the resident's care will be managed and may include: How information will be exchanged between the facilities. The resident's comprehensive care plan will reflect the resident's needs related to ESRD/dialysis care. Review of Resident 158's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included ESRD (failure of kidney function to remove toxins from blood), hypertension (elevated/high blood pressure), and diabetes mellitus (a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin). Review of Resident 158's care plan revealed a focus area of Resident has hemodialysis with the potential for infection, fluid volume excess/deficit, pain, trauma ESRD, with an intervention for Dialysis and No venipuncture/blood pressures in extremity with shunt (dialysis access), initiated on January 24, 2024. Review of Resident 158's dialysis communication sheets provided revealed there were missing communication sheets on January 26, 2024; February 2, 9, 12, 14, and 21, 2024; April 26, 2024; and May 20 and 31, 2024. Further review of Resident 158's dialysis communication sheets provided failed to reveal the following: preor post- dialysis weights on June 21, 2024, and July 5, 2024; post-dialysis weights on May 1, 2024, and June 3, 2024; and a pre-dialysis weight on July 29, 2024. Review of Resident 158's blood pressure measures revealed blood pressures were documented in his arm with his dialysis access (left arm) 73 times since his admission to the facility January 23, 2024. Interview with Employee 1 (Regional Director of Clinical Services), in the presence of the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), on September 26, 2024, at 10:08 AM, revealed they are unable to locate the missing communication sheets or missing documentation from the reviewed communication sheets. Follow-up interview with the NHA on September 26, 2024, at 1:15 PM, revealed the documentation of blood pressures taken in the left arm are inaccurate, as staff do not take Resident 158's blood pressure in his left arm. He further revealed he would expect dialysis communication sheets to be available and nursing documentation to be accurate.

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents who are trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident for one out of 35 residents reviewed (Resident 43).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of Facility Policy, titled Care Plans- Comprehensive Person-Centered, last revised September 2022, read, in part, Trauma-informed care is an approach to delivering care that involves understanding, recognizing and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. A trauma-informed approach to care delivery recognizes the widespread impact, and signs and symptoms of trauma in residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies, procedures and practices to avoid re-traumatization. Review of Resident 43's clinical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD- a mental health condition that develops following a traumatic event characterized by intrusive thoughts about the incident, recurrent distress/anxiety, flashback and avoidance of similar situations) and major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in things). Review of Resident 43's clinical record revealed an admission Social Services Evaluation dated April 26, 2024, that noted Resident 43 has a diagnosis of PTSD related to being verbally abused by her former male roommate, with a noted trigger of raising voice. Review of Resident 43's care plan failed to reveal a comprehensive care plan related to PTSD. Interview with Employee 3 (Licensed Practical Nurse) on September 26, 2024, at 9:22 AM, revealed she was unaware of any triggers Resident 43 has related to past trauma. During an interview with Employee 1 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) in the presence of the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on September 26, 2024, at 10:09 AM, she revealed the process for identifying residents in need of trauma informed care is a social worker assessment upon admission and development of a care plan. She further revealed Resident 43 should have had a care plan developed related to her PTSD including any triggers, and since it was not developed that is why staff was not aware of her past trauma and identified trigger. During an interview with Employee 5 (Social Worker) on September 26, 2024, at 11:35 AM, she revealed social service assessments for newly admitted residents are typically completed within three days, and that Resident 43's admission assessment probably got missed as she was following-up with another assignment at the time. Interview with Employee 1 and the NHA on September 26, 2024, at 1:16 PM, the surveyor revealed the concern with the lack of a trauma informed care approach for Resident 43. No further information was provided. 28 Pa Code 211.10 (a) Resident care policies

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist.
Based on facility documentation review, policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services to ensure a system of records of receipt and disposition of all controlled drugs in sufficient detail to enable accurate accounting of controlled drugs when acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and or administering to identify possible diversion for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 177).
Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Disposal of Medications and Medication-Related Supplies, last reviewed August 2024, revealed the medication disposition form is kept with the medications for return until picked up by the pharmacy; the receiving pharmacy representative signs the form to indicate receipt and gives the yellow copy to a nurse representative. Review of Resident 177's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Review of Resident 177's clinical record revealed they passed away in the facility on August 9, 2024. Review of Resident 177's medication disposition record form provided by the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on September 26, 2024, at 1:10 PM, revealed the following instructions on the form: An entry is required for each medication along with the reason for disposition, signature of the person completing the form and witness if medication is being destroyed by facility or agency staff. Once the pharmacy representative has signed this form and accepted the medication to be returned, retain the yellow copy for facility or agency record and send the white copy with the medications. Further review of Resident 177's medication disposition record form that was dated August 10, 2024, included the following medications: Trazadone, Fluoxetine, Lisinopril, and Risperidone. The form failed to include any signatures. During an interview with the NHA on September 26, 2024, at 1:10 PM, he revealed he did not have any further information to provide and would expect Resident 177's medication disposition form to have been signed. 28 Pa.

Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free of unnecessary psychotropic medications for one of four residents reviewed (Resident 96).
Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Antipsychotic Medication Use, with a last revised date of December 2016 and a last review date of August 21, 2024, indicated, 17. Nursing staff shall monitor for and report any of the following side effects and adverse consequences of antipsychotic medications to the Attending Physician: a. General/anticholinergic: constipation, blurred vision, dry mouth, urinary retention, sedation; b. Cardiovascular: orthostatic hypotension [form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down]; arrhythmias [abnormal heart rhythm; c. Metabolic: increase in total cholesterol/triglycerides, unstable or poorly controlled blood sugar, weight gain; and d. Neurologic: Akathisia [a movement disorder causing a feeling of restlessness and an inability to stay still], dystonia [unintentional sustained muscle contractions leading to abnormal postures], extrapyramidal effects [involuntary and uncontrollable movement disorders caused by certain drugs, especially anti-psychotic drugs], akinesia [loss of ability to move your muscles independently]; or tardive dyskinesia [a neurological syndrome that results in involuntary and repetitive body movements], stroke or TIA [transient ischemic attack- a short period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke caused by a brief blockage of blood flow to the brain]. Review of Resident 96's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia (a chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning), delusional disorder (type of psychotic disorder; a delusion is an unshakable belief in something that is untrue), and unspecified psychosis (severe mental condition in which thought and emotions are so affected that contact can be lost with reality). Review of Resident 96's physician orders revealed an order for risperidone (a medication used to treat certain psychiatric conditions) 0.25 milligrams give two tablets twice a day, dated July 3, 2024. Review of Resident 96's care plan failed to reveal their use of an antipsychotic medication.
