This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 clinical record review as well as resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for three of 36 residents reviewed (Residents 12, 52 and 80). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident 12's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (gradually progressive brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior) and type II diabetes mellitus (impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as a fuel resulting in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream). During an interview with Resident 12 on May 5, 2024, at 11:04 AM she revealed that she has tooth pain due to poor dentition and needs to have several teeth removed. Review of the dental consult dated August 16, 2023, revealed that Resident 12's teeth, #22-#26, are broken and unrestorable. Review of Resident 12's dental consult dated January 15, 2024, revealed that the same teeth remain broken. Review of speech therapy evaluation dated December 5, 2023, revealed that Resident 12 had teeth that were observed to be black and rotted to the gumline. Review of Resident 12's January 13, 2024 comprehensive annual MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment tool to review all care areas specific to the resident such as a resident's physical, mental or psychosocial needs) revealed that the assessment was not coded to indicate that Resident 12 had obvious or likely cavity or broken natural teeth. During an interview with Employees 1 (Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator) and 2 (Clinical Reimbursement Coordinator) on May 8, 2024, at 1:51 PM they revealed that Resident 12's January 13, 2024, MDS was completed by an off-site staff person who did not visualize Resident 12's dentition, but coded the assessment based on an admission/re-admission evaluation completed by nursing staff on January 10, 2024, which indicated that Resident 12 had dentures, but no other dental concerns. Review of Resident 52's clinical record revealed diagnoses including dementia (progressive, irreversible degenerative disease of the brain that results in decreased contact with reality and decreased ability to perform activities of daily living) and type 2 diabetes (decrease ability of the body to utilize insulin for the transport of glucose from the blood into the cells for nourishment).

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 52's clinical record revealed that Resident 52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. After admission, on February 28, 2024, facility staff identified a pressure injury to Resident 52's right heel that presented as a fluid filled blister measuring 5.0 centimeters (cm - metric unit of measure) by 5.0 cm. On March 6, 2024, a progress note stated that Resident 52's blister had opened with visible wound base. Review of wound tracking for Resident 52's pressure injury revealed the wound base developed slough (yellow/white accumulation of dead cells that usually presents as soft and wet but can be dry) on March 27, 2024 and necrotic skin (eschar - brown to black hard area of dead skin/tissue) was present upon an April 4, 2024 assessment. Review of the wound tracking revealed that Resident 52's pressure injury continued to have varying amounts of necrotic skin during assessments conducted on April 11, 19, 26, 2024, and May 3, 2024. Review of Resident 52's Discharge Return Anticipated Minimum Data Set (MDS - standardized assessment tool utilized to identify a resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs) with an assessment reference date of April 14, 2024, revealed that Section M Skin conditions, subsection M0300 Current Number of Unhealed Pressure Ulcers/Injuries at Each Stage, was coded to reflect that Resident 52 had an Unstageable - Slough and/or eschar pressure injury, and that the pressure injury was present upon admission or reentry to the facility. Review of Resident 52's Quarterly MDS with an assessment reference date of April 20, 2024, revealed that section K, subsection K0300 Weight Loss, Loss of 5% or more in the last month or loss of 10% or more in the last 6 month, was answered as Yes, not on prescribed weight-loss regimen. However, review of Resident 52's weight documentation during the look back of 30 days (or closest) and 180 days (or closest) revealed Resident 52 did not have a weight loss of 5% in 30 days nor 10% in 6 months. Further review of the Quarterly MDS revealed that section M - Skin conditions, subsection M0300 Current Number of Unhealed Pressure Ulcer/Injuries at Each Stage, subsection G1, was coded to reflect that Resident 52 had one unstageable deep tissue injury (purple or maroon area of discolored intact skin due to damage of the underlying soft tissue). Finally, the pressure ulcer coded under section M of the Quarterly MDS was identified as present upon admission or reentry, however; the pressure injury was sustained after Resident 52 had entered the facility. Review of aforementioned wound tracking revealed that, at the time of the Quarterly MDS with assessment reference date of April 20, 2024, Resident 52's pressure injury was acquired at the facility and presented with necrotic tissue/eschar and was not considered a deep tissue injury at that time. During a staff interview on May 8, 2024, at approximately 3:05 PM, the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 52's Discharge Return Anticipated MDS section M and Quarterly MDS section K and section M were coded incorrectly. During the staff interview the Director of Nursing revealed corrections were being made to the MDS errors identified. Review of Resident 80's clinical record on May 7, 2024, at 11:52 AM, revealed diagnoses that included epileptic seizures (a sudden alteration of behavior due to a temporary change in the electrical functioning in the brain) and Alzheimer's disease (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills).

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 80's physician orders revealed Resident 80 was admitted to hospice services December 12, 2022. Review of Resident 80's minimum data set (MDS - assessment tool utilized to identify a residents' physical, mental, and psychosocial needs), section O0110 special treatments, procedures, and programs, subsection K1 hospice, revealed the facility failed to indicate that Resident 80 was receiving hospice services while a resident for two quarterly MDS assessments with dates of September 20, 2023 and March 18, 2024 and one annual MDS assessment dated [DATE]. During an interview on May 7, 2024, at 2:04 PM, with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON), the surveyor made the NHA and DON aware of the aforementioned MDS concerns. During an additional interview on May 8, 2024, at 1:15 PM, with the NHA and DON it was revealed that Resident 80's two quarterly and one annual MDS assessments where coded incorrectly and corrections had been completed.

Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A review of the clinical record for Resident 107 on May 6, 2024, revealed diagnoses that include neurogenic bladder (lack of bladder control due to spinal cord problem and nerve problem) and spina bifida (a birth defect when the developing baby's spinal cord fails to develop properly). A review of Resident 107's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated resident assessment and care screening) dated March 20, 2024, revealed that the resident had a brief interview for mental status with a score of 15, indicating Resident 107 is cognitively intact. Further review of Resident R107's clinical records revealed, and he had moisture associated skin damage (MASD) on his buttock and scrotum and was ordered to have a thin layer of zinc paste applied every shift. Observation during wound care on May 7, 2024, revealed zinc paste was observed prior to the start of the observation and was applied post wound care. During an interview with Resident 107 on May 6, 2024, Resident 107 confirmed that he was receiving treatments every shift for both his chronic wounds and some white paste (referring to zinc paste was confirmed) to protect his buttock and scrotal area from damage. The resident also confirmed that he was receiving Ketoconazole cream 2% (treatment for skin condition, dermatitis) applied to his head, face, and neck to prevent dry, flaky skin every shift. A review of Resident 107's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) on May 7, 2024, revealed that staff failed to initial and check the block on the TAR that confirms the administrations of the Ketoconazole cream 2% on April 8, 2024, on dayshift, April 11, 2024, on dayshift, and on April 14, 2024, on evening shift. Further review of Resident 107's TAR revealed that staff failed to initial and check the block on the TAR that confirms the administrations of the zinc past on April 5, 2024, on evening shift, April 7, 2024, on night shift, and April 14, 2024, on evening shift. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on May 8, 2024, at approximately 2:27 PM, the DON confirmed that all treatments should be signed off as completed on the TAR. 28 Pa Code 211.5(f) Medical records. 28 Pa Code 211.12(d)(1) Nursing services.
