Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation and resident and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to provide
housekeeping and maintenance services to maintain a safe, clean and homelike environment in resident
areas on two of two resident floors (first floor shower room and second floor dining room and residential
units).Findings included:An observation on November 19, 2025, at 8:55 AM in the first-floor shower room
revealed a large hole in the wall along the baseboard trim near the toilet and a missing ceiling tile in front of
the privacy curtain. An observation on November 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM on the second floor East Wing
revealed a 4-inch brown stain, resembling a water stain, with noted black stains within the brown on a
ceiling tile near the nurses station.An observation on November 19, 2025, at 12:35 PM of the second floor
East Wing dining room revealed three ceiling tiles that contained large brown stains, resembling water
stains.An observation on November 19, 2025, at 12:40 PM of Resident 5's room revealed a used rubber
glove, a used plastic cup, a towel, and multiple crumbs and debris under the resident's bed. An observation
on November 19, 2025, at 12:45 PM of Resident 8's room revealed a Kennedy cup (lightweight, spill-proof
drinking cup designed to be easy to hold and grip) with the lid removed on the floor containing brown liquid.
The brown liquid was splattered on the floor between Resident 8 and Resident 6's bed and was also noted
to be splattered on Resident 6's fitted bed sheet. Under Resident 8's nightstand were multiple used tissues,
napkins, and a used face mask. Interview with Resident 7, Resident 6 and 8's roommate, during the time of
the observation, reported that housekeeping does not come into their room to clean every day. The
residents stated, somedays the floor is so bad, it's embarrassing.Continued observation of Resident 7's
room revealed a tabletop oscillating fan positioned on top of a transfer board (a flat, smooth board used in
therapy and rehabilitation to help a person move safely from one surface to another when they cannot
stand or bear full weight) which was on top of the push handles of her roommate's wheelchair. The fan was
plugged into the wall outlet. When questioned about the unsafe location and position of the fan, Resident 7
stated that the fan had previously been on an over-the-bed table, but staff removed the table to give it to
another resident and propped the fan on the back of the wheelchair handles. Further observation revealed
two positioning wedges (wedges utilized to support a resident to maintain a side lying position to offload
pressure on their backside) in direct contact with floor in the corner of her room by the window. Interview
with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on November 19, 2025, at 3:50 PM confirmed
the facility's environment should be kept in good repair and maintained in a clean and homelike manner. 28

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of nursing staffing hours and staff to resident ratios, resident census, clinical records, select facility
policy, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide sufficient nursing
staff to ensure that each resident received timely, person-centered care, services, and supervision
necessary to maintain the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of the resident population for five
of 18 sampled residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9).Findings include: A review of the clinical record
revealed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including cerebral vascular
accident (stroke) with left-sided weakness and dementia (A condition in which a person loses the ability to
think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems). A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set
assessment (MDS, a federally mandated standardized assessment used to plan resident care) dated
September 14, 2025, revealed the resident required staff assistance for activities of daily living and had a
BIMS score of 14 (Brief Interview for Mental Status, a tool used to measure cognitive function; a score of
13-15 indicates cognition is intact). A review of a facility investigation dated October 26, 2025, at 3:30 PM
revealed Employee 1, nurse aide, answered Resident 1's call bell and found the resident on the floor lying
on her stomach, partially under the bed with blankets underneath her. The resident stated she had
attempted to transfer from her bed into her chair and slipped, causing her to fall. Resident 1 resided on the
east wing of the second floor. A review of the clinical record revealed Resident 2 was admitted on [DATE],
with diagnoses including dementia. A quarterly MDS dated [DATE], revealed the resident required staff
assistance for activities of daily living and had a BIMS score of 3 (a score of 0-7 indicates severe cognitive
impairment). A review of a facility investigation report dated October 26, 2025, at 4:00 PM revealed
Resident 2 was seated in a chair in the east wing resident dining room next to the wheelchair weight scale,
which was stored and utilized in that area. Employee 2, nurse aide, was assisting the resident to the
bathroom. Resident 2 stood up from the chair as Employee 2 turned to retrieve her walker. Resident 2
tripped over the wheelchair weight scale and fell, striking her head on the glass door. Documentation
revealed she sustained a 2 centimeter by 0.4 cm (centimeter) laceration 9wound caused by tearing of the
skim) on the top left side of her head and a 1.8 cm by 0.2 cm laceration to her left cheek. She was sent to
the hospital and received three staples and steri strips (soft adhesive wound closure strips). A review of the
clinical record revealed Resident 3 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including dementia. A quarterly
MDS dated [DATE], revealed the resident required staff assistance for activities of daily living and had a
BIMS score of 3, indicating severe cognitive impairment. A review of facility investigative documentation
dated October 26, 2025, at 4:30 PM revealed Resident 3 was wandering between the east and west
nursing units and was on a 15-minute observation schedule related to a previous elopement from the
facility on October 11, 2025. Employee 3, nurse aide, observed Resident 3 enter the shower room located
between the east and west wing units. The resident sat down on the bathtub and fell backward into the tub.
A licensed nurse assessed the resident, and no injury was documented. A review of a written witness
statement dated October 26, 2025, at 4:30 PM from Employee 3, nurse aide, revealed documentation
indicating that the employee reported seeing Resident 3 walking in the hallway from the west unit toward
the east unit and that the employee followed the resident with the intention of bringing her back to the west
unit, where the resident resided. The statement documented that Resident 3 turned into the west shower
room, located between the east and west nursing units, and that when the employee turned the corner into
the shower room, the resident was sitting on the edge of the bathtub. The written

statement further documented that, as I approached her, she fell backwards into the tub, striking her head
then her back on the inside of the tub. The statement noted that the resident had last been observed by the
employee 15 minutes prior as part of the resident's every-15-minute monitoring. A review of the facility
document titled Resident Observation/Monitoring Tool (every 15-minute watch record) dated October 26,
2025, revealed documentation that Resident 3 was recorded as ambulating and wandering in the hallway
continuously from 2:15 PM through 3:30 PM, at which time the record documented that Employee 3
rendered care. The documentation further revealed that Resident 3 was recorded as continuing to wander
in the hallway from 3:30 PM through 5:45 PM. A review of the facility census for October 26, 2025, for the
3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift revealed a total census of 105 residents, with 39 residents on the second-floor
west unit and 44 residents on the east unit. A review of nursing documentation revealed that during this
shift there were two residents on the west unit who were placed on every-15-minute observation and one
resident on the east unit who required one-to-one supervision (continuous direct visual observation by a
designated staff member).A review of nursing staffing records dated October 26, 2025, revealed that one
RN Supervisor was scheduled for the entire building. Documentation for the east wing showed two licensed
practical nurses (LPNs) scheduled for four-hour shifts and one LPN scheduled for an eight-hour shift, along
with three nurse aides scheduled for eight-hour shifts and two nurse aides scheduled for four-hour shifts for
a census of 44 residents. Documentation indicated that the resident requiring one-to-one supervision
required a staff member to remain with the resident continuously, rendering that employee unavailable to
provide care to additional residents.A review of staffing documentation for the west unit revealed one LPN
and three nurse aides scheduled for a census of 39 residents. Documentation further indicated that two
residents on the west unit were on every-15-minute observation, including Resident 3, who was recorded
throughout the day wandering on her unit and in other areas of the second floor. The documentation
indicated that these monitoring responsibilities required dedicated staff time.A review of facility investigative
documentation revealed that three resident falls occurred within one hour, between 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM,
on October 26, 2025, during the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift. At that time, residents on the second floor were
documented as requiring safety checks, toileting, and other activities of daily living, including preparation for
the evening meal. Based on review of the staffing records and monitoring assignments, the documented
staffing levels did not demonstrate that sufficient personnel were available to complete these duties during
this shift.During an interview on November 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM, the findings regarding staffing levels at
the time of the three falls were reviewed with the Director of Nursing. No additional information was
provided to indicate that staffing available during the shift exceeded the staffing levels documented in the
staffing records. A review of Resident 7's clinical record revealed admission on [DATE], with diagnoses
including congestive heart failure (a condition in which the heart cannot pump adequately), Type 2 diabetes
(a condition affecting the body's ability to regulate blood sugar), and morbid obesity. An annual MDS dated
[DATE], revealed total staff dependence for toileting, bed mobility, and transfers and a BIMS score of 15,
indicating intact cognition. During an interview on November 18, 2025, at 12:45 PM, Resident 7 stated she
often waited over one hour for call bell response and that she experienced incontinence and soiled bedding
while waiting. She stated this occurred most often on second shift and also on third shift. A review of
Resident 9's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
which included heart failure and muscle weakness.A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated
[DATE], revealed that Resident 9 was totally dependent on staff for toileting, bathing/showers, bed mobility
and transfers. The resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 14.

During an interview on November 18, 2025, at 3:14 PM, Resident 9 reported that his favorite activity in the
facility was playing Bingo. The resident stated, I just love to play Bingo, and they don't have enough people
to get me up and out of bed. So, I don't get to go. I know they're short (staffed) and I don't want to bother
them. A review of the facility's shower schedule dated November 17, 2025, revealed that Resident 9 was
scheduled to receive a shower during the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift. Resident 9 reported during the
interview on November 18, 2025, that he did not receive a shower or a bed bath the night before. A review
of the shower schedule for November 17, 2025, revealed seven residents were scheduled to receive a
shower during the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift. A review of the shower logs revealed documentation that only
one of the seven scheduled residents received a shower. The logs further revealed that four residents
received bed baths instead of a shower, and two shower logs, including Resident 9's, were not completed.
There was no documented evidence that any residents scheduled for showers on November 17, 2025,
during the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift declined a shower or preferred a bed bath. During a telephone
interview on November 18, 2025, at 6:00 PM, Employee 5, reported that insufficient nurse aide staffing on
the east wing resulted in delays in answering call bells, missed showers, and missed turning and
repositioning schedules. Employee 5 reported that many residents on the east wing required the assistance
of two staff members for toileting, bed mobility, and transfers and that two residents required one-to-one
direct supervision (defined as continuous direct visual observation). Employee 5 reported that additional
staff were not consistently scheduled to provide one-to-one supervision and that existing staff were
expected to provide the one-to-one monitoring while also caring for the additional 42 residents on the wing.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on November 18,
2025, at 10:00 AM confirmed that there were two residents on the East Wing who require 1:1 supervision
24 hours/day. Review of the facility's policy titled Resident Observation Policy last reviewed by the facility on
July 2, 2025, stated that if a resident is on 1:1 monitoring, the additional staff member assigned will remain
with the resident in view at all times. Should the assigned staff member need to leave the area they are
responsible for to ensure the resident is directly observed during their absence by another staff member.
Staff members will complete the observation/monitoring tool. Review of the nursing schedule for November
17, 2025, for the 11:00 PM-7:00AM shift revealed only two nurse aides and one LPN (Licensed Practical
Nurse) were assigned to the East Wing, which had a census of 44 residents. While an RN Supervisor was
on duty, she was not assigned exclusively to the East Wing. The NHA and DON stated that the RN
Supervisor's workstation had been moved to the East Wing on November 17, 2025, to assist staff as
needed. Review of the Resident Observation/Monitoring Tool for the two residents on 1:1 dated November
18, 2025, revealed that Employee 6 (RN Supervisor) initialed entries for both residents at 2:45 AM, 3:00
AM, 5:00 AM and 5:15 AM despite the residents not being roommates or in adjacent rooms. During an
interview on November 18, 2025, at 3:50 PM the NHA and DON confirmed that both residents could not
have been continuously observed at the same time by Employee 6. A review of nursing time schedules,
resident census data, and staff interview information revealed that the facility did not meet minimum nurse
aide staffing ratios on five of fourteen reviewed dates (October 24, October 25, October 26, October 28,
and November 17, 2025). A review of census records and staffing schedules revealed the number of nurse
aides scheduled on those dates was below the minimum required ratios for the applicable shifts, and there
was no documentation that additional higher-level staff were available to compensate. During an interview
with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on November 18, 2025, at 3:45 PM, the findings regarding
nurse aide staffing ratios were reviewed, and no additional information was provided to demonstrate that
required staffing levels were met.A review

of nursing schedules, resident census data, and staff interview information revealed that the facility did not
meet the minimum licensed practical nurse (LPN) staffing ratios on five of fourteen reviewed dates (October
25, November 12, November 15, November 16, and November 17, 2025). A review of staffing schedules
revealed that the number of LPNs scheduled on those dates was below the minimum required ratios for the
applicable shifts, and there was no documentation that additional higher-level staff were available to
compensate. During an interview with the NHA on November 18, 2025, at 3:45 PM, the findings regarding
LPN staffing ratios were reviewed, and no additional information was provided to demonstrate that required
staffing levels were met.A review of nursing staffing documentation, resident census data, and staff
interview information revealed that the facility did not consistently provide the minimum 3.2 hours of general
nursing care per resident per day as required under Pennsylvania state licensure regulations. A review of
the facility's weekly staffing records revealed general nursing care hours below the required 3.2 hours on
October 25, October 26, October 28, and October 30, 2025. During an interview with the NHA on
November 18, 2025, at 3:45 PM, the findings regarding general nursing hours were reviewed, and no
additional information was provided to demonstrate that the required hours were met. A review of clinical
records, staffing schedules, census data, and interview information revealed the facility did not ensure
sufficient nursing staff, based on actual resident census and acuity (the level of care and supervision
required), to provide necessary services and supervision, and staffing documentation showed state
minimum staffing ratios and required nursing hours per resident per day were not met on multiple reviewed
dates. 28 Pa. Code 211.12 (c)(d)(1)(3)(4)(5) Nursing services 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(1)(e)(1)(2)(3)(6)
