F 0565 Honor the resident's right to organize and participate in resident/family groups in the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of resident council minutes, resident and group interviews and interviews with staff and facility policy, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the residents were offered a private group meeting during resident council for 10 of 10 residents interviewed (Resident R10, R19, R26, R31, R40, R43, R50, R52, R54, R56). Residents Affected - Few Finding include: Review of the facility policy titled, Resident Council reviewed 10/23/24, states the facility will provide space, privacy and support to conduct meetings. During Resident Group with ten alert and oriented residents on 2/5/25, at 1:00 p.m. Resident R10 and R43 indicated during resident council some of the members did not like to use their name if there was a concern or problem so the facility doesn't get told. Members of the resident council were asked , during the time they meet would it be more beneficial to meet in private than in the main dining room where staff and other residents continuously walk through and can hear the meeting going on, thus allowing residents to voice their concerns and the president can then take the concerns back to the facility. The President responded that Resident Council was always conducted with facility staff and other residents present, we never had it any other way. The residents that attended the group discussion were not aware they could have private meetings. Interview with Activities Director and Director of Nursing on 2/5/25, at 2:04 p.m. indicated the facility was always invited to group meetings but confirmed the meetings were not held privately with only residents. 28 Pa.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 observations and resident and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to provide a clean and homelike environment on one of two nursing units (A/E Nursing Unit) and for five of fourteen residents (Residents R15, R52, R53, R62, and R66). Findings include: During an observation on 2/3/25, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Resident R52's was noted to have trash on the floor, a drawer of the bedside table pulled out of the table and on its side, soiled washcloth and resident clothing on the floor, disposable cups and used gloves under the bed, and screws and a metal bracket on the windowsill. The foot board was removed from the bed and was lying on the floor in front of the wardrobe. The floor food residue adhered to it and dust and crumbs all over it. During an observation on 2/4/25, at approximately 8:40 a.m., an Environmental Service (EVS) Worker was seen entering Resident R52's room and emptying the trash can. No other services were performed. Observation at this time revealed no significant change from the previous observation on 2/3/25. During an interview on 2/4/25, at 8:47 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E6 was asked why Resident R52's room had not been cleaned. She stated that when EVS staff clean the room he pulls the clothes and drawers out again. Observation with LPN Employee E6 at this time confirmed the screws on the windowsill, the metal bracket, the tripping hazard of the footboard and other items on the floor, and the possibility that the food crumbs throughout the room would attract pests. During an observation on 2/4/25, at approximately 11:30 a.m. Resident R52 room had the items removed from the floor, the drawer placed back into the bedside table, and the footboard placed between the wall and the side of the wardrobe. The floor appeared to have been somewhat swept, but a significant amount food resident was present, and the floor was not mopped. During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:03 p.m. a bag of what appeared to be trash, and a mop/broom handle was in the hall at the entrance to the A/E Nursing Unit. During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:04 p.m. of the shower room near the A/E Nursing Unit station revealed the commode blocked by two double-bin linen carts, two bedside commode receptacles with a brown substance in them, and an opened, gallon-sized container of bleach, accessible to residents. During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:15 p.m. the bathroom trash can for Residents R62 and R53 was overflowing onto the floor. Review of clinical residents revealed that neither resident was able to exit their bed and use the bathroom without staff assistance. During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:20 p.m. the floor of Residents R66 and R15 had a significant amount of trash and crumbs on the floor. During an observation on 2/6/25, at approximately 12:24 p.m., Resident R52's room floor was noted to be extremely soiled, food residue and crumbs present, one drawer of the three-drawer bedside table to be missing a handle, and one drawer of the four-drawer dresser to have a missing handle.

F 0600 Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy, clinical records, observations, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure that one of 26 residents was free from sexual abuse that resulted in the actual harm of a newly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection for one of 26 residents (Resident R29). Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Abuse and Neglect-Clinical Protocol, last reviewed 10/23/24, indicated that residents have the right to be free from abuse, as the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Instances of abuse of all residents, irrespective of any mental or physical condition, or causes physical harm, pain or mental anguish. It includes verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse including abuse facilitated or enabled through the use of technology. Neglect is 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. Sexual Abuse is defined as non-consensual sexual contact of any type with a resident. The term Willful is used in the definition of abuse means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm. Additionally, the facility policy indicated that abuse prevention included assessing, care planning, cause identification, treatment/management and monitoring residents with needs and behaviors that may lead to conflict or neglect. Assessing residents with signs and symptoms of behavior problems and developing and implementing care plans to address behavioral issues. The facility will strive to maintain adequate staffing on all shifts to ensure the needs of each resident are met. Review of Resident R29's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included encephalopathy (disturbance of brain function that causes confusion, memory loss, and coma in severe cases), alcoholic cirrhosis (chronic liver disease caused by long-term, excessive alcohol consumption), depression, muscle weakness. Review of Resident R29's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) assessment dated [DATE], section C Cognitive Patterns revealed severe cognitive impairment. Review of the resident profile revealed Resident R29 has a court appointed guardian. In court appointed guardianship paperwork dated 12/21/21, it states that due to her diagnosis, Resident R29 suffers from permanent damage to her brain and recovery is not possible. Resident R29 is unable to receive or evaluate information or to communicate decisions to such an extent that she is unable to meet her essential requirement for her personal and financial needs. Resident R29 is in need of guardianship services and is totally incapacitated. There is no less restrictive alternative to the appointment of a Plenary Guardian and of the estate of Resident R29. Review of Resident R29's comprehensive person-centered care, plan of care that was initiated on 10/21/24, and revised on 1/22/25, does not mention the resident as having behaviors related to inappropriate sexual behaviors (making sexually inappropriate statements to caregivers, engaging in relationships with other residents,or desire to be sexually active or show sexual expression).

She states they are engaged and plan to move in together when they both get out of the facility. When asked if they are sexually active she denied that they were. Review of Resident R67's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on 4/3/24, with diagnoses that included schizoaffective disorder (combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, such as depression or bipolar disorder. Symptoms may occur at the same time or at different times), Alcohol use, muscle weakness, and depression. Review of Resident R67's MDS assessment dated [DATE], section C Cognitive Patterns revealed Resident R67 had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated the resident is cognitively intact. Review of clinical progress notes on 11/26/24, indicated Resident R67 was unhappy with increased sexual dysfunction secondary to his medication and asked his psychiatrist to change his medications to alleviate the sexual dysfunction. Review of Resident R67's clinical record on 11/29/24, states the resident bought beer for a female resident because she had a migraine and she needed it. Resident R67 was given the explanation that he was not to buy alcohol for another resident and that if that resident needed alcohol it had to go through the physician. During an interview on 2/5/25, at approximately 2:40 p.m. with the DON she stated that Resident R67 did buy the alcohol for Resident R29. During an interview with Resident R67 on 2/6/25, at 2:44 p.m. he confirmed that he is in a relationship with Resident R29 and that they are engaged and his plan is to come back and visit her until she is able to be discharged and move in with him. Review of the clinical record reveals no documentation that Resident R67 is in a relationship with Resident R29. Review of Resident R29's clinical record revealed the resident was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis(sexually transmitted infection causing a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and painful urination in women, men typically have no symptoms). Resident R29 saw a gynecologist on 1/21/25, and office reported to facility on 1/31/ 25, that results from [NAME] test (Pap test-a cervical cancer screening procedure that involves taking a cell sample from the cervix, cells are examined then under a microscope) back positive for this infection and resident would need to start antibiotics to treat the infection.

Resident also stated during this visit that she was engaged to a fellow resident, Resident R67, and they plan to move in together. Resident R29's clinical record failed to reveal documented evidence that social services, medical services or managerial staff followed up with the resident post-gynecological exam finding to determine the extent of relationship with Resident R67, and failed to reveal that her person-centered plan of care was reviewed and revised with new goals and approaches to manage her sexual behavior and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395289 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 22 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395289 B.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Review of RN Employee E1 statement on 2/4/25 at 11:30 a.m. reported that she was notified on 1/31/25 that Resident R29 had Trichomoniasis but the facility felt that she came that way (transferred from hospital on [DATE]), was aware that she was in a relationship with Resident R67, and there was concern that she might be pregnant due to abdomen being distended (no pregnancy test done at facility but at gynecological appointment on 1/21/25, the test was negative). Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 2/6/25 at 11:00 a.m. Resident R29's guardian stated she was aware that Resident R29 was in a relationship with another resident at the facility but she was not made aware of the new diagnosis of a sexually transmitted infection. Guardian stated she feels that Resident R29 does not have the capacity to differentiate what sexual intercourse entails, meaning is it kissing, oral sex, masturbation or intercourse or what the repercussions could be such as pregnancy (Resident R29 is still in child-bearing age with monthly menstruation) or a sexually transmitted infection. During an interview on 2/6/25, at approximately 11:45 a.m. the Director of Nursing discussed Resident R29's behaviors as was noted from a previous facility, she was noted to be hypersexual in that she enjoyed flirting with the male residents and aides, talking in a sexual manner and she enjoyed sitting on men's laps, she had to be redirected of her behaviors at that facility and currently she is focused on her relationship with Resident R67. Resident R29 has never been care planned for these known hypersexual behaviors at her current facility. During multiple interviews with multiple staff members (NA Employee's E5, E8, and E9) on 2/6/25, it was noted that Resident R29 and Resident R67 are together all the time, she sometimes goes into his room, they cuddle and watch movies together on his computer, they talk about moving in together, hug in the hallway, have been seen kissing. Staff stated that they had made management aware of the seriousness of the relationship. During an interview with the Social Worker Employee E10 on 2/6/25, at 11:30 a.m, revealed that she was aware that Resident R29 and Resident R67 were friends but stated they feel Resident R29 is unable to make a decision to be in a committed relationship, Resident R67 can make that decision, they are engaged (did not mention he bought her an engagement ring), and spent time together in various areas of the facility but are never alone, also stated Resident R67 is due to be discharged soon and plans on returning to visit Resident R29. Further review with DON and NHA confirmed the facility failed to ensure proper staff supervision of Resident R29 and Resident R67 and to develop and implement necessary interventions for a resident with a severe cognitive impairment from entering a relationship with a resident with cognitive impairment. The facility failed to develop and implement interventions after suspected sexual abuse occurred and to prevent further incidents of sexual abuse from occurring. This incident was identified as a harm for one of twenty-six residents. 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1) Management. 28 Pa.

Section C Cognitive Patterns revealed resident had an updated BIMS score (Brief Interview for Mental Status is a tool used to evaluate cognitive impairment and assist with dementia diagnosis) of 6, which indicated the resident has severe cognitive impairment. During a review of the clinical record it was noted the resident had been recently diagnosed with Trichomoniasis (sexually transmitted infection causing a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and painful urination in women, men typically have no symptoms) while at a routine gynecological exam. Interview with the gynecological office noted that the resident stated she had recently been in a consensual sexual relationship and was engaged to a fellow resident. Resident has a low BIMS score and cognitively has issues with time and when she thinks something might have occurred, thus making her unreliable as to when the consensual intercourse might have occurred. During an interview with Resident R29 on 2/7/25, at 3:18 p.m. she discussed her relationship, denied that they were having intercourse but did state that he touches her leg (pointed to upper thigh) and they cuddle and kiss sometimes.
