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 a review of clinical records and the Resident Assessment Instrument and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessments (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) accurately reflected the status of one resident out of 22 sampled (Resident 5). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) manual indicates that they are to base the weight on the most recent measure in the last 30 days. If the last recorded weight was taken more than 30 days prior to the ARD of this assessment or previous weight is not available, weigh the resident again. A review of Resident 5's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A review of Resident 5's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section K0200, Height and Weigh Section B Weight revealed a dash indicating that no weight taken. The resident's documented weights were noted as January 1, 2023 178.4 pounds and February 8, 2023, the resident's weight was noted as 177.1 pounds. The date The date of the MDS was February 7, 2023, and the resident's last weight was obtained on January 1, 2023, and more than 30 day prior to the assessment date. There was no indication the facility weighed the resident timely to accurately complete the February 7, 2023, MDS assessment. Interview with the Director of Nursing on August 31, 2023 at 1:20 p.m. she could not explain why the resident was not weighed as part of the February 7, 2023, MDS assessment. 395249 Page 3 of 15 395249 09/01/2023 Edenbrook at Hampton 1548 Sans Souci Parkway Wilkes Barre, PA 18702

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to follow physician orders for bowel protocol for one resident out of 22 sampled (Residents 90) to promote normal bowel activity to the extent practicable and failed to follow physician orders for medication administration for one resident out of 22 sampled (Resident 42). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: According to the American Academy of Family Physicians {The American Academy of Family Physicians is one of the largest medical organizations in the US founded to promote the science and art of family medicine}the primary goal of constipation management should be symptom improvement, and the secondary goal should be the passage of soft, formed stool without straining at least three times per week).

F 0744 Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and implement an individualized person-centered plan to address a resident's dementia-related behavioral symptoms for one out of 22 residents (Resident 84). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 84 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had diagnoses, which included dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning).

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain acceptable practices for the storage and service of food to prevent the potential for contamination and microbial growth in food, which increased the risk of food-borne illness. Findings include: Food safety and inspection standards for safe food handling indicate that everything that comes in contact with food must be kept clean and food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. Safe steps in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. You cannot always see, smell, or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness according to the USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture, also known as the Agriculture Department, is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to food). Initial tour of the food and nutrition services department in the presence of the foodservice director on August 29, 2023, at 9:00 AM revealed two opened 46 containers of nectar-thickened juice and a 32 ounce of nectar-thickened dairy beverage on the shelf in the walk-in cooler, which were not dated when opened. Review of the manufacturer labels on the beverage containers revealed nectar-thickened juice is to be used within 10 days after opening and dairy beverage is to be used within four days of opening. Interview with the foodservice director at this time confirmed that the food and nutrition services department is to maintain acceptable practices for food storage and open dates were to be placed on each beverage container once opened. 395249 Page 13 of 15 395249 09/01/2023 Edenbrook at Hampton 1548 Sans Souci Parkway Wilkes Barre, PA 18702
F 0883 Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.

Nurses notes on October 31, 2022 at 12:57 p.m. indicated that a call was placed to the resident's responsible party to offer the resident the influenza vaccine, a message was left and awaiting a return call. An influenza consent form dated November 18, 2022, noted that no return call and that no consent was obtained.
