During an interview with the speech language pathologist (Employee E11) on April 11, 2025, 11:08 a.m. with the DOR present, the speech language pathologist who was the only treating speech pathologist for the resident could not provide information during the interview regarding the correct diet the resident should be on. The discharge summary, along with her recommendations were reviewed with her.

When asked if the resident's diet should be puree and nectar thick liquids, as she recommended on her discharge summary, she stated I don't know.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on the review of facility documents and resident clinical record and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a resident had the capacity to understand the terms of a binding arbitration agreement for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R89).

Findings Include: Review of Resident R89's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated resident assessment and care screening) dated September 1, 2022, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had a diagnosis of altered mental status. Further review of the MDS, Section C - Cognitive Patterns (items in this section are intended to determine the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information - these items are crucial factors in many care-planning decisions), indicated that Resident R49 scored a 0 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. Review of an admission note dated August 30, 2022 revealed that the resident was noted alert with confsuion, resident was spanish speaking and understood some English.

Review of Resident R89's Binding Arbitration Agreement (Arbitration is an alternative way of resolving disputes outside the traditional court system. It is intended to reduce the time, expense, and formalities associated with that system. Rather than having a judge and/or jury determine the outcome of the dispute, a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, will render his or her decision. Each party will have the opportunity to present his or her side of the case through witnesses and evidence. The arbitrator will then render a decision in favor of one party based on the facts, the law, fairness, common sense and the rules of procedure established under this Agreement. The arbitrator will be chosen by the parties, and his or her decision will be final, binding on all parties, and not subject to appeal in the court system, unless otherwise stated in the Agreement.) indicated the resident signed the document on September 8, 2022. Further review of the Binding Arbitration Agreement revealed it was also signed by facility employee, admission Director, Employee E7, (Former Employee). There was no documented evidence in the clinical record that the facility establised resident's discision making capacity prior to the signing of arbitration agreement Interview on April 10, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. with Employee E8, admission DIrector, confirmed that she usually ask the staff about residents mental status and she stated residents should have a BIMS score of 13 or above to sign arbitration agreement. 28 Pa.
