Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
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 identify triggers related to a resident's diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, to provide culturally, competent, trauma-informed care, and to eliminate or mitigate re-traumatization for one of six residents reviewed for mood/behavior (Residents 7).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 7 on April 19, 2024, and added a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD, a mental and behavioral disorder that develops related to a terrifying event) on May 1, 2024. Review of Resident 7's social history and evaluation completed on April 23, 2024, revealed a trauma screening questionnaire (a group of questions related to symptoms that may occur due to a traumatic event) that indicated Resident 7 had difficulty concentrating at least twice in the past week. The questionnaire did not include questions related to her diagnosis of PTSD or triggers that may mitigate re-traumatization. Review of Resident 7's current care plan revealed a history of depression, PTSD, and anxiety. The care plan indicated that the PTSD was related to her husband's death and that she had panic attacks at times. The care plan did not identify what triggers her panic attacks related to her husband's death that occurred approximately 20 years ago or how she deals with them. Further review of Resident 7's clinical record contained no evidence the facility collaborated with the resident, and as appropriate, the resident's family, friends, and any other healthcare professionals (such as psychologists, and mental health professionals) to identify triggers to develop and implement individualized interventions to prevent re-traumatization. Resident 7's care plan was revised on September 13, 2024, and a progress note was entered into her clinical record on September 12, 2024, at 7:57 PM indicating a conversation was held with her to determine her potential triggers. This was after the surveyor made the facility aware that her clinical record failed to identify her potential triggers on September 12, 2024, at 2:00 PM. These findings were confirmed with the Director of Nursing on September 13, 2024, at 2:00 PM. 28 Pa Code 211.12 (d)(3)(5) Nursing services

Subsequent observations on September 12, 2024, at 2:48 PM, and September 13, 2024, at 11:12 AM again revealed the facility's posted nursing time did not include the total number and the actual hours worked of licensed and unlicensed nursing staff directly responsible for resident care for first and second shifts. The posting did not include the facility's name. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 13, 2024, at 11:42 confirmed these findings. 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee
