What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 12 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to determine a resident's wishes regarding an advance directive for one of 10 residents reviewed (Resident 27). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 27 revealed that the facility admitted her on March 6, 2024, with a diagnosis of a left femoral fracture and end stage renal disease. Clinical record review revealed her advance directive to be DNR (Do Not Resuscitate, a medical order that instructs health care providers not to intervene if a patient stops breathing or if their heart stops beating). A Medical Practitioner Note (Physician/ Nurse practitioner) dated March 7, 2024, at 10:28 PM revealed that Resident 27 was severely lethargic and fatigued. Her neurological assessment revealed that she was alert, awake, and oriented to person only. The note further indicated that Resident 27 desired to be a DNR based on her advance directive. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on April 9, 2024, at 2:12 PM revealed that they obtained Resident 27's DNR information from her discharge records that were brought with her from the hospital. Interview with the DON on April 10, 2024, at 12:32 PM revealed that there was no advance directive located in Resident 27's chart and that she was unsure where the physician obtained the DNR information. The facility failed to determine a resident's wishes related to her code status prior to obtaining a physician's order for her code status. 28 Pa. Code 211.5(f) Clinical records 28 Pa.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. 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 correct required notification to a resident whose payment coverage changed for two of five residents reviewed (Residents 34 and 89). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A review of the Form Instructions Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNFABN) Form CMS-10055 revealed that examples of the common reasons why an extended care stay, or services may not be covered under Medicare might include the beneficiary no longer requires daily skilled care for a medical condition but wants to continue residing in the skilled nursing facility (SNF). The SNF enters a good faith estimate of the cost of the corresponding care that may not be covered by Medicare. In the blank that follows Beginning on ., the skilled nursing facility enters the date on which the beneficiary may be responsible for paying for care that Medicare is not expected to cover. The beneficiary selects an option box to indicate a desire to continue to receive the care or not to continue to receive the care and if there is a desire to have the bill submitted to Medicare for consideration. The beneficiary or their authorized representative must sign the signature box to acknowledge that they read and understood the notice. The SNF must issue this notice when there is a termination of all Medicare Part A services for coverage reasons. If after issuing the NOMNC, the SNF expects the beneficiary to remain in the facility in a non-covered stay, the SNFABN must be issued to inform the beneficiary of potential liability for the non-covered stay. Clinical record review of census information for Resident 34 revealed that the facility provided services primarily paid for by Medicare starting September 7, 2023. Resident 34's Medicare payment for services ended October 3, 2023. Resident 34 began to privately pay for his care on October 4, 2023. Resident 34 still resides in the facility. There was no documented evidence to indicate that the facility provided a CMS-10055 form to Resident 34 and/or his responsible party. Clinical record review of census information for Resident 89 revealed that the facility provided services primarily paid for by Medicare starting January 4, 2024. Resident 89's Medicare payment for services ended February 14, 2024. Resident 89 began to privately pay for his care on February 14, 2024. Resident 89 still resides in the facility. There was no documented evidence to indicate that the facility provided a CMS-10055 form to Resident 89 and/or his responsible party. The surveyor confirmed the above findings regarding Resident 34's and Resident 89's Medicare notices during an interview with Employee 1, medical records, on April 8, 2024, at 1:06 PM. Employee 1 indicated that she was not aware that the CMS-10055 form was to be used. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1) Management 28 Pa.

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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan to maintain the highest practicable care for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 81). Findings Include: Clinical record review for Resident 81 revealed that he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and his primary language was Spanish. He was also able to speak in broken English (you speak English with difficulty or with a lot of mistakes). Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 9, 2024, at 2:10 PM revealed that staff communicate with Resident 81 through one employee, a licensed practical nurse, that speaks Spanish, and some staff have interpreter applications on their phones. A Medical Practitioner (Physician or Nurse Practitioner) progress note dated March 4, 2023, at 2:33 PM revealed that Resident 81 solely speaks Spanish, but can communicate through movements such as head nods. A Social Determinant of Health (conditions in the environment that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality of life outcomes and risks) progress note dated March 18, 2024, at 9:39 AM by social services revealed that Resident 81 did not need or want an interpreter to communicate with a doctor or health care staff. A Medical Practitioner note date December 20, 2023, at 2:19 PM revealed that a discussion was held with Resident 81, and the nurse, who speaks Spanish and she communicated with him in detail regarding his code status (the type of emergent treatment a person would or would not receive if their heart or breathing stops). Review of Resident 81's care plan revealed no care plan related to his communication deficit or interventions for the staff to utilize to improve communication with him. Interview with the Director of Nursing on April 9, 2024, at 2:14 PM confirmed that there is not always a staff member present that speaks Spanish, and that there was no care plan in Resident 81's clinical record addressing his communication concerns or interventions for staff to utilize to communicate with him. The facility failed to implement a person center care plan to maintain the highest practicable care for Resident 81. 28 Pa.

F 0685 Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services. 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 treatment to improve hearing for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 81). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 81 revealed an audiologist (a health care professional that assesses and manages disorders of hearing) progress note from an outside provider dated March 21, 2024, at 12:20 PM that indicated his left ear was impacted with cerumen (ear wax). The note further indicated that it should be removed as soon as possible by the facility if the resident allows. The facility should follow their protocol for cerumen removal with Debrox (a medication used to treat wax build-up) as ordered by the facility physician. Resident 81 should return for a hearing exam following cerumen removal. Clinical record review for Resident 81 revealed no evidence that the Debrox treatment to his ear was ordered or done. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on April 9, 2024, at 2:10 PM confirmed that the audiologist recommendations for Resident 81, were never reviewed by his physician and the treatment was never completed. The facility failed to implement recommended interventions to potentially improve Resident 81's hearing. 28 Pa. Code 211.10(a)(d) Resident care policies 28 Pa.

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 and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to evaluate a pressure ulcer to prevent decline and promote healing for one of two residents reviewed (Residents 27). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 27 revealed that the facility admitted her on March 6, 2024, with a closed wound to her left heel. Review of Resident 27's skin and wound evaluation dated March 7, 2024, revealed that she had an abrasion that was present on admission and measured 2.5 centimeters (cm) x 2.0 cm with no depth. The wound bed was 100 percent covered with epithelial (a type of tissue that covers many surfaces on the inside and outside of your body). There was no slough (yellowish/white material noted on a wound bed) or eschar (dead tissue) present, and there was no drainage. It was a foam dressing and there was no additional care noted on the evaluation. An admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment completed at intervals by the facility to determine care needs) date March 13, 2024, revealed that Resident 27 did not have any pressure ulcers. Review of Resident 27's next skin and wound evaluation dated April 6, 2024, revealed that the wound was an abrasion on the left heel, that was present on her admission to the facility, 1.9 cm x 2.6 cm with no depth. The wound bed was now eschar but did not identify the percentage. No drainage was noted. No dressing was identified, and no additional care was noted on the evaluation form. Review of Resident 27's care plan that was initiated on March 7, 2024, and resolved on April 9, 2024, revealed the left heel wound was identified as a deep tissue injury (DTI, persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or purple discoloration with intact skin due to damage of underlying soft tissue). Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 9, 2024, at 2:21 PM related to whether the wound on Resident 27's left heel was an abrasion or a pressure ulcer, revealed that they were going to have the wound specialist look at it on this same date. On April 10, 2024, at 9:13 AM the Nursing Home Administrator provided an initial wound evaluation and management summary that was completed by the wound clinic physician that indicated the wound on Resident 27's left heel was a pressure ulcer unstageable DTI with intact skin. The wound was 1.5 cm x 2.5 cm and depth was not measurable. They also provided a skin and wound evaluation form dated April 9, 2024, that indicated the wound was a pressure ulcer on the left heel, unstageable, and 100 percent, eschar was present, indicating the pressure ulcer declined. Review of Resident 27's treatment administration record (TAR) for March and April 2024, revealed that the staff were completing a body audit on the evening shift daily for skin observation. Review of Resident 27's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that the left heel was being assessed during the body audit. There was no evidence that the facility completed an evaluation at least weekly on Resident 27's left heel pressure ulcer that included the location and staging, the size, drainage to include type, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395359 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 18 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 395359 B.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. 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 timely assessment and implement interventions to promote acceptable parameters of nutritional status for four of seven residents reviewed for nutritional concerns (Residents 46, 59, 86, and 91). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of Resident 46's clinical record revealed that the facility admitted him on March 18, 2024. Resident 46 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of malnutrition and needing a feeding tube for nutrition. There was no documented evidence in Resident 46's clinical record to indicate that an initial comprehensive dietary assessment was completed. A Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated March 25, 2024, indicated that the facility assessed him as being at nutritional risk and that the facility would proceed to develop a care plan regarding his risk for weight loss. There was no documented evidence in Resident 46's clinical record to indicate that the facility developed a potential for weight loss care plan or implemented interventions. Resident 46 was weighed by nursing staff on March 20, 2024, at 120 pounds. On April 3, 2024, nursing staff weighed Resident 46 at 110 pounds, which would be an 8.3 percent loss in less than three weeks. There was no documented evidence in Resident 46's clinical record to indicate that Resident 46's nutritional needs were assessed to determine if his caloric needs were being met. Interview with the Administrator on April 7, 2024, at 2:00 PM revealed that the facility has been without a qualified dietitian since March 8, 2024. Once the surveyor brought up the weight loss concerns regarding Resident 46, a dietary assessment was completed on April 10, 2024, at 7:12 AM. The assessment indicated that Resident 46 only eats 0-50 percent of his meals, and he has not been getting enough calories with his current order of nutrition by feeding tube. Interview with the Administrator on April 9, 2024, at 12:28 PM confirmed the above findings for Resident 46. Clinical record review for Resident 59 revealed the resident was admitted from another nursing facility on January 31, 2024, with a history of significant weight loss and dementia. A nutrition note by the registered dietitian dated February 14, 2024, at 1:30 PM indicated Resident 59 had variable weights since her admission with an initial weight on February 1, 2024, of 117.2 pounds, then 128 pounds on February 6, 104.5 pounds on February 7, and 109 pounds on February 12, 2024. The dietitian acknowledged a variance of scales utilized to obtain the weights may have a contributed to the variance in the weights, but due to the resident's history of weight loss and malnutrition, nutritional supplements were increased for the resident. Review of Resident 59's weight record revealed the resident's weight continued to decline after the registered dietitian's note on February 14, 2024, with a weight of 100 pounds on February 26, 2024, 99.9 pounds on March 4, 2024, 97 pounds on March 18, 2024, 99 pounds on March 25, 2024, and 84.5 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395359 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 18 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 395359 B.

F 0692 On February 21, 2024, discontinue hospice services per resident request. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident 86's registered dietitian documentation on December 19, 2023, the dietitian identified that Resident 86 had an advanced cancer diagnosis with hospice services, their intake was 78 percent, they had an elevated nutritional need, and recommended a house shake twice daily. The dietician deferred Resident 86's weekly weight monitoring secondary to their hospice status with weight loss expected, noting the dietitian was available for consultation as needed. Residents Affected - Some The facility completed Resident 86's care plan conference on December 28, 2023, and indicated that his meal intakes were 25 to 50 percent, accepted nutritional supplements, and noted no eating difficulties. Review of Resident 86's nursing documentation revealed the following: On December 30, 2023, Resident 86 complained of an upset stomach at 2:10 AM with ginger ale accepted. On December 31, 2023, at 12:00 AM the facility notified the on-call physician regarding Resident 86 complaining of nausea and they ordered Zofran. At 6:05 AM, Resident 86 again complained of nausea. The facility notified hospice staff. At 5:00 PM, staff indicated that Resident 86 complained of intermittent nausea throughout the day. On January 12, 2024, Resident 86's physician indicated that the resident reported weight loss since his cancer diagnosis and requested staff keep the resident as comfortable and pain free as possible. On January 17, 2024, Resident 86's physician revealed that the resident complained of chest discomfort (mid-sternal regions) with swallowing liquids and solids for several months during almost every meal and had a diminished appetite. He ordered staff to start Omeprozole (for acid reflux) 40 milligrams by mouth daily and complete a barium swallow study for chest pain due to swallowing. Review of Resident 86's clinical record revealed neither the Omeprozole or barium study were ordered for Resident 86 between January 17, 2024, and March 5, 2024. On February 12, 2024, at 4:28 AM, Resident 86 complained of feeling like something was stuck in (his) throat and was irritating. Resident 86 was able to speak with no redness or irritation noted. He had eaten ice cream earlier with no concerns. On March 3, 2024, 3:35 PM, Resident 86 complained of a sore throat and felt he had trouble swallowing. His physician ordered throat lozenges/cough drops and his family requested Resident 86 receive hot soup or broth, ice cream, and mashed potatoes with every meal. The kitchen was notified. On March 5, 2024, a different dietitian noted a significant change with Resident 86 and the first time that the dietitian assessed this resident. The dietitian noted the 6 pound (4.3 percent) weight loss in 2.5 months with malnutrition included in the diagnoses since admission. The dietitian noted ongoing swallowing concerns since January 17, 2024, with the resident informing the dietitian concerns with eating most food items, particularly meats.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Resident 86 indicated that he used to weight 149 to 155 pounds prior to admission with weight loss noted due to significant loss of muscle, fat, and grip strength and continued to lose weight despite eating. The dietitian informed Resident 86 that these were signs of malnutrition. The dietician identified that the facility had not ordered the Omeprozole and/or barium swallow study per the physician directive/documentation on January 17, 2024 (1.5 months prior). The dietitian indicated to monitor meal and supplement intakes/acceptance, weights, lab orders, medications, and diet texture tolerance. He also recommended a speech evaluation. On March 5, 2024, at 4:44 PM, nursing staff approached Resident 86 regarding the physician ordered Omeprozole and barium swallow study from January 17, 2024. Resident 86 determined that he did not wish to have the Omeprozole medication and did not want the barium swallow study completed. There was no documentation that indicated the facility's two dietitians identified, monitored, and implemented dietary interventions for Resident 86's weight loss and swallowing and intake concerns between December 19, 2023, and March 5, 2024. This surveyor reviewed the above information during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 9, 2024, at 1:37 PM and April 9, 2024, at 2:19 PM Clinical record review for Resident 91 revealed that the facility admitted him on January 11, 2024, with an admission weight of 185 pounds. He was on a regular diet with regular texture. A dietary progress note dated January 12, 2024, at 2:47 PM indicated that Resident 91's intakes have been variable with increased nutritional needs for healing related to a fracture. The note indicated that a request would be made to the food service director to offer resident high protein food options. It also indicated that the registered dietician would follow Resident 91. Review of Resident 91's documented weights revealed that he had a significant weight loss of 10 percent from January 11, 2024, when he weighed 185 pounds to March 7, 2024, where he weighed 165 pounds, and a 5 percent weight loss from January 11, 2024, where he weighed 185 pounds to February 22, 2024, where he weighed 175 pounds. Review of Resident 91's physician orders and care plan revealed that no new interventions were initiated related to his significant weight loss. There was no documentation that indicated the facility identified, monitored, and implemented dietary interventions for Resident 91's significant weight loss that was noted on February 22, 2024, and March 7, 2024.

Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the resident's attending physician addressed pharmacy recommendations timely and implemented accepted recommendations timely for two of five residents reviewed (Residents 50 and 80). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 50 revealed a consultant pharmacist recommendation dated February 6, 2024, for the initiation of Vitamin D3 for the resident. The recommendation was noted as accepted by the physician and signed on February 25, 2024, by the physician. Further record review for Resident 50 revealed the resident did not receive a physician's order for the Vitamin D3 until March 6, 2024, 10 days later. Clinical record review for Resident 80 revealed a consultant pharmacist recommendation dated October 13, 2023, to check a serum Vitamin D level on the resident due to a recent fall. The recommendation was reviewed by the physician until November 27, 2023, greater than 30 days from the date of the recommendation. The physician did accept the recommendation for Resident 80 to obtain a serum Vitamin D level when signed on November 27, 2023, although there was no evidence the serum Vitamin D level was obtained until February 5, 2024, even though the resident had other blood lab work completed in the time frame. A consultant pharmacy recommendation dated February 6, 2024, for Resident 80 noted the serum Vitamin D level that was obtained on February 5, 2024, with a concentration of 11 ng/mL (nanograms/milliliter) and now recommended the addition of a Vitamin D3 supplement. Review of Resident 80's lab report dated February 5, 2024, revealed Resident 80's serum Vitamin D level was identified as deficient with a level less than 20 ng/mL. Resident 80 was ordered Vitamin D3 on February 6, 2024.
