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 resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to afford a resident the ability to participate in his treatment, be fully informed of treatment decisions and proposed and to chose preferred treatment options for one resident out of 18 sampled (Resident 14). Residents Affected - Some The findings include: Review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include Schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness, and social interactions), dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interfere with daily functioning), and chronic hip pain. An annual comprehensive MDS (Minimum Data Set-a federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) assessment, dated June 5, 2023, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. A physician progress note dated April 18, 2022, indicated that Resident 14's chief complaint was a right hip abnormality. The physician note indicated that No orthopedic follow up services at this time. Patient is able to stand and move. At this time, surgical intervention without any current pain or omitted range of motion would place the patient at an unnecessary risk. {Resident 14} remains in wheelchair most of the day. {Resident 14} is comfortable, chronic pain is managed and patient agrees with this plan. A quarterly MDS assessment, dated May 4, 2022, revealed the resident's self performance and staff assistance with activities of daily living was assessed as follows: • independently roll from lying on back to left and right side, and return to lying on back on the bed • with supervision or touching assistance move from sitting on side of bed to lying flat on the bed • with supervision or touching assistance move from lying on the back to sitting on the side of the (continued on next page) 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.

Findings included: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 244 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include end stage heart failure, and diabetes. A review of the resident's care plan ADL self performance deficit related to weakness initiated July 27, 2021 revealed that Resident 244 required the assistance of one person for bed mobility. A review of an interdisciplinary therapy screen dated January 9, 2023 revealed that Resident 244 had a change in status for transfers, wheelchair usage, pain and bed/chair positioning. Resident 244 was placed on hospice services on January 10, 2023 related to end stage cardiac disease. A significant change minimum data set assessment (Minimum Data Set - a federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated January 18, 2023 revealed, Resident 244 was cognitively intact and required maximum assistance of two staff for bed mobility and transfers. The resident's ADL care plan was revised on January 26, 2023, and the resident's bed mobility status changed to assist of two persons with bed mobility, one person required to immobilize the resident's right lower extremity as a result of a recent fracture on January 7, 2023, and application of leg brace for treatment. A review of ADL records dated January 7, 2023 through February 6, 2023 revealed that only one person assisted the resident with bed mobility on most shifts. A review of nursing documentation dated February 6, 2023, at 3:23 P.M. revealed that the resident had a recent fracture, right femur with right lower leg brace. New open area noted of right lateral knee noted with moderate bloody drainage. A subsequent nurses note dated February 6, 2023 at 6:47 PM revealed that a change in the resident's condition was noted. A bone was protruding from Resident 244's right femur fracture site. There was no evidence at the time of the survey ending July 14, 2023, that the resident's bed mobility was consistently performed with the assistance of two staff members following the resident's leg fracture, application of the leg brace and as care planned on January 26, 2023, to maintain the resident's comfort and prevent further injury to the resident.

F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. 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 select facility policy and staff and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide individualized effective pain management for one resident out of 18 sampled (Resident 14). Residents Affected - Few The findings include: A review of the facility's current Pain Management policy, last reviewed by the facility on January 29, 2023, revealed that the facility will help residents attain or maintain his/her highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, and to prevent or manage pain, the facility will recognize when the resident is experiencing pain and identify circumstances when the pain can be anticipated. The facility's policy also stated that interventions for pain management will be incorporated in the components of the comprehensive care plan, addressing conditions or situations that may be associated with pain or may be included as a specific pain management need or goal. A clinical records review revealed Resident 14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include Schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness, and social interactions), Dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interfere with daily functioning), and chronic hip pain. An annual comprehensive MDS (Minimum Data Set-a federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status). The resident had physician orders for Acetaminophen Tablet 325 mg 2 tablets by mouth every 4 hours as needed for mild pain since admission March 10, 2021, and an a physician order for non-pharmacological interventions to be utilized prior to administering as needed pain medications. During an interview on July 11, 2023, at 9:40 a.m., Resident 14 stated, My hip hurts. I am going to have my hip operated on to help with the pain. The resident did not state when the surgery was scheduled or planned. Resident 14 had a fall on May 15, 2022, while in the facility. After the fall, the resident was no longer able to independently ambulate and was on non-weight bearing orders for the right lower leg extremity from June 2022 until September 2022. Resident 14's attending physician and community orthopedic surgeon initially recommended hip replacement for the injury, but after consultation, it was determined that Resident 14 was not a surgical candidate. Resident 14's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2022, indicated that staff administered two Acetaminophen 325 mg tablets on ten occasions for mild pain and once for moderate pain during the month. The August 2022 MAR also revealed no evidence that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted as ordered by the physician prior to administering prn Acetaminophen 325 mg on August 25, 26, 29, and 30, 2022. On September 7, 2022, a physician order was noted for the resident to be full weight bearing with a 1-inch heel lift.

F 0697 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The resident's September 2022 MAR revealed an increase in the resident's use of the prn Acetaminophen, revealing that staff administered two Acetaminophen 325 mg tablets on 14 occasions for mild pain and twice for moderate pain. There was also no evidence that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted, as ordered by the physician, prior to administering Acetaminophen 325 mg on September 3 or 11, 2022. Residents Affected - Few A physical therapy evaluation dated October 7, 2022, at 8:38 a.m., indicated that the resident continues to complain of significant right hip pain. Patient may be having surgery in the future, but unsure of when that will be scheduled. Resident has not been walking over the last few days secondary to right lower extremity causing pain. The assessment indicated that the resident's pain level was 6/10 (a scale of 0 being no pain and 10 being the most severe) from September 6, 2022, through discharge of therapy services on October 6, 2022. There was no documented evidence that the facility had fully assessed, and addressed, the resident's increased pain during physical therapy services from September 6, 2022, through September 16, 2022. On September 16, 2022, the physician ordered Acetaminophen 500 mg two tablets to be taken by mouth two times a day for pain management. However, the resident's pain remained 6/10 through the end of therapy services on October 6, 2022, despite the increase in pain medication. There was no documented evidence of additional pain relieving modalities developed and implemented to address Resident 14's increased pain and the development of alternate measures to manage the resident's hip pain when it was determined that he was not a candidate for surgery. During an interview on July 14, 2023, at approximately 12:00 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) was unable to provide evidence that the facility consistently attempted non-pharmacological interventions prior to administering prn pain medications or evidence of a reassessment of the resident's pain management needs. for Refer F552 28 Pa.

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 18 sampled residents (Resident 67). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A review of Resident 67's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses, which included Parkinson's disease [is a chronic and progressive movement disorder that initially causes tremor in one hand, stiffness or slowing of movement], dementia with behavioral disturbances [is 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] and psychotic disorder with hallucinations [illnesses that affect the mind and impact thinking clearly, make good judgments, respond emotionally, communicate effectively, understand reality, and behave appropriately], communication deficits, and a history of multiple falls. A review of the resident's current care plan in effect at the time of the survey ending July 14, 2023, revealed no documented evidence that the facility had developed an individualized person-centered plan for the resident's dementia care, which maximized the resident's dignity, autonomy, privacy, socialization, independence, choice, and safety and using individualized, non-pharmacological approaches to care, including purposeful and meaningful activities that address the resident's customary routines, interests, preferences, and choices to enhance the resident's well-being.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, review of select facility policy 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 in the food and nutrition services department and two resident pantries. 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). Review of a facility policy titled Use and Storage of Food Brought in by Family or Visitors that was last reviewed on January 27, 2023, indicated food must be handled in a way to ensure the safety of the resident. The facility may refrigerate, label, and date prepared items in nourishment refrigerator and that food must be consumed by the resident within 3-days. The initial tour of the kitchen was conducted with the facility's Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) on July 11, 2023, at 9:30 AM, and revealed the following unsanitary practices with the potential to introduce contaminants into food and increase the potential for food-borne illness. The wire spice rack, mounted to the wall near the cook's area, had debris and dust adhered to the surface. Below the spice rack, there was a mounted knife rack that had debris and dust accumulated on the rack. In the dish room, several ceiling tiles were observed coated with food splatter and were ill-fitting in select areas. The mounted wall fans inside of the dish room and in the kitchen area had an accumulation of dust. The juice station dispenser gun felt sticky and had an accumulation of product on the inside of the dispenser. In of the 100 hallway nourishment room there were two opened gallons of milk and two poured beverages from resident meal trays that did not have a discard date noted. In the 400 hallway nourishment room there were two opened gallons of milk and a takeout container of meatballs dated July 9, 2023. Interview with the facility's Registered Dietitian (RD) confirmed that the container of meatballs should have been discarded and that the manufacturer's date on the gallons of milk was the date that the staff should reference for discarding.
