F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan regarding behaviors for one out of three residents reviewed for behaviors (Resident 54). Findings Include: Review of Resident 54's clinical record revealed that the facility admitted her on March 14, 2023. A Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated March 20, 2023, indicated that the facility assessed her as having behaviors, such as refusal of care and agitation. The facility implemented a plan of care to address Resident 54's behaviors on March 17, 2023. There was no documented evidence in Resident 54's plan of care regarding interventions for staff to utilize if Resident 54 exhibits those behaviors during care. Review of Resident 54's plan of care for behaviors dated June 1, 2023, revealed that the facility added additional exhibited behaviors such as slapping and being combative with staff. There was no documented evidence in Resident 54's plan of care regarding interventions for staff to utilize if Resident 54 exhibits those behaviors during care. Nursing documentation on January 28, 2025, at 12:08 PM revealed that Resident 54 bit a staff member during care, leaving bite marks. Nursing documentation dated March 13, 2025, at 9:21 PM revealed that Resident 54 was combative with staff during a shower. Nursing documentation dated April 1, 2025, at 12:44 AM revealed that it took four staff members to provide incontinence care to Resident 54. Resident 54 was kicking, spitting, and biting at staff. There was no documented evidence in Resident 54's plan of care to indicate that the facility implemented individualized interventions regarding her behaviors, since its inception upon admission. The findings for Resident 54 were reviewed during an interview with the Administrator and Director of Nursing on June 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM. 28 Pa. Code 211.10 (a)(c)(d) Resident care policies 28 Pa.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the highest practicable care regarding physician ordered medication parameters for two of 17 residents reviewed (Residents 32 and 51) and failed to provide comprehensive skin assessments that are consistent with professional standards of practice, to promptly identify skin changes and to promote healing for one of three residents reviewed for skin condition concerns (Resident 1). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 51 revealed a diagnosis list that included essential hypertension (high blood pressure). Review of Resident 51's current care plan revealed the resident has hypertension and an intervention included to give anti-hypertensive medications as ordered and monitor for side effects such as orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when a person stands up) and increased heart rate, and effectiveness. Resident 51's care plan also noted the resident has a potential for an altered cardiovascular status related to the medical history. A review of the current physician orders for Resident 51 revealed an order dated August 13, 2024, for Metoprolol Succinate ER Extended Release (a medication that is used to treat high blood pressure and/or heart rate) 25 milligrams (mg) give one tablet by mouth one time a day for essential hypertension. Hold for a systolic blood pressure (SBP, the top number of a blood pressure reading where the heart contracts) less than 100 and/or a heartrate less than 60. A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 51 revealed that the Metoprolol was marked as administered outside of the physician specified parameters for the following: April 4, 2025: the resident's blood pressure was documented as 97/55. April 12, 2025: the blood pressure was documented as 97/61. April 14, 2025: the pulse was documented as 59. April 27, 2025: the blood pressure was documented as 93/51. May 7, 2025: the blood pressure was documented as 88/59. May 30, 2025: the blood pressure was documented as 82/47. June 10, 2025: the blood pressure was documented as 98/60. The above information for Resident 51 was reviewed in a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on June 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The NHA confirmed on June 27, 2025, at 9:35 AM that there was no documented evidence why the medication was administered outside of the physician ordered parameters.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review, observations, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement preventative measures to prevent pressure ulcers for one of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcer concerns (Resident 67). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 67 on November 19, 2024. Review of Resident 67's admission assessment noted that she had no open areas on her feet. A nursing progress note date January 4, 2025, at 6:26 AM revealed that Resident 67's left heel had bleeding and bruising noted. New orders were received for skin prep (applied to the skin to create a film to protect the skin) to bilateral heels, and to elevate heels while in bed. Further clinical record review revealed a wound clinic note dated February 3, 2025, that indicated Resident 67 had a new left heel deep tissue injury (DTI, skin injury that occurs beneath the surface of the skin due to sustained pressure) with current measurements of 5.5 cm (centimeter) x 6.5 cm, 100% eschar. The note indicated to cleanse with Dakin's (an antimicrobial cleanser) 1.25%, then apply Dakin's-soaked fluffed gauze to the wound, cover with an ABD (abdominal gauze pads used to absorb discharges from draining wounds) pad, and change twice a day and as needed. Clinical record review of Resident 67's Braden scale (a scale used to predict pressure sore risk) dated December 3, 2024, revealed Resident 67 was assessed at a Braden score of 19 indicating that she was not at risk for pressure ulcer development. Further review revealed a Braden scale dated December 10, 2024, that indicated Resident 67 was assessed at a Braden score of 17, indicating she was at risk for pressure ulcer development. Review of Resident 67's care plan revealed a care plan entitled at risk for skin break down and pressure ulcer development, initiated on November 20, 2024, and last revised on November 24, 2024, revealed current interventions of a preventative mattress and turn and reposition as needed. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on June 27, 2025, at 10:10 AM revealed that the preventative mattress on Resident 67's bed was not a specialty mattress. Further review of Resident 67's care plan revealed that there were no new preventative pressure interventions initiated after her Braden scale assessment on December 10, 2024, that indicated her at-risk score decreased and she was at risk for pressure ulcer development. The facility failed to initiate preventative pressure ulcer interventions for Resident 67, after her Braden score assessment on December 10, 2024, determined she was as risk for pressure ulcer development, and she developed a DTI to her left heel on January 4, 2025. The Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing were made aware of the above noted findings related to Resident 67's pressure ulcer on June 26, 2025, at 2:30 PM. 83.25(b)(1)(i)(ii) Treatment/svcs to Prevent/heal Pressure Ulcer Previously cited deficiency 5/3/24 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395350 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 13 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 395350 B.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. Based on observation, clinical record review, and staff and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement a physician ordered device utilized to prevent further decline in range of motion for one of five residents reviewed (Residents 5). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 5 revealed a current physician's order for Restorative passive range of motion (PROM) to her left upper extremity and to place a carrot in the left hand after passive range of motion was complete. Observation of Resident 5 on June 24, 2025, at 12:20 PM revealed she was in bed. She acknowledged that she has limited motion on her left side to include her left hand. She did not have a carrot device in her left hand during this interaction. Review of documentation revealed that PROM was completed on this date. Observation of Resident 5 on June 26, 2025, at 11:40 AM revealed she was out of bed in her chair, and she did not have a carrot device in her left hand. Review of documentation revealed that PROM was completed on this date. Concurrent interview with Resident 5 revealed that the staff had not been putting anything in her left hand for about a week or so. Interview of the Nursing Home Administrator on June 27, 2025, at 10:35 AM revealed that the order for the carrot device for Resident 5's left hand did not get carried through in the clinical record for the nurse aides to complete. 483.25(c) Mobility Previously cited 5/3/24 28 Pa.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on clinical record review, review of facility documentation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly investigation a resident's accident in an attempt to prevent future incidents and implement interventions to prevent falls injuries for one of five residents reviewed for falls (Resident 3). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 3 revealed a physician's order dated February 25, 2025, for staff to implement a tab alarm (alarm that sounds when a person moves too far away from the alarm, releasing the magnetic catch, and causing the alarm to sound) when in bed or chair and to check for function and placement every shift for safety. Review of facility and nursing documentation revealed that Resident 3 fell on May 1, 2025, at 4:00 PM. Resident 3 was found in his room on his knees beside the bed. The fall was unwitnessed. Resident 3 was assisted back to bed with alarms on (after the fall occurred). Review of a staff witness statement dated May 1, 2025, revealed that staff heard Resident 3 shouting while walking past the resident's room. They saw Resident 3 on the floor, on the ground, while holding onto the corner of the bed to keep himself upright. Staff called for the licensed practical nurse who came to Resident 3's room and requested additional help to assist with Resident 3. The witness statement did not indicate that a tab alarm was placed on Resident 3, nor did the statement indicate that any alarms were sounding at the time of the fall. Review of Resident 3's task documentation revealed that on May 1, 2025, the day shift (6:00 AM to 2:00 PM) staff indicated that Resident 3's tab alarm was placed and functioning at 1:44 PM. On May 1, 2025, evening shift (2:00 PM to 10:00 PM) did not assess that Resident 3's tab alarm was placed and functioning until 9:58 PM, almost six hours after Resident 3's fall. There was no documentation at the time of the fall that Resident 3's tab alarm was on and functioning (sounding) and no documentation that evening staff checked for function and or placement until after Resident 3's fall.
