F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of policy review facility provided documents, facility policies and procedures, and interviews with staff and residents, it was determined that the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from mental abuse and neglect by Employee 3 for one of 21 residents (Resident 34) Findings include: Review of facility policy, Resident Rights-Abuse and Crimes against, revised June 16, 2023, revealed, Residents of [NAME] have a right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of funds and property, and exploitation as defined below. The abuse, neglect, misappropriation of funds or property, or exploitation of residents by [NAME] associates is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Review of Resident 34's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included difficulty walking (Problems with the joints [such as arthritis], bones [such as deformities], circulation [such as peripheral vascular disease], or even pain can make it difficult to walk properly) and muscle weakness (commonly due to lack of exercise, aging, muscle injury, or pregnancy). Review of Resident 34's care plan revealed a care plan with a focus area of Resident 34 has an ADL (activities of daily living) self-care performance deficit. This care plan has an intervention of: Resident 34 requires maximum assistance by staff for toileting, and Resident 34 requires extensive assistance by 1-2 staff to move between surfaces. Stand lift and 2-staff assist, as needed. Interview with Resident 34 on November 12, 2024, at 9:47 AM, revealed that on November 5, 2024, at 6:00 AM, she rang her call bell to request help going to the bathroom. Employee 3 answered her call bell and, when asked for assistance, responded by refusing to help Resident 34 to the bathroom and telling her to go in her brief. Resident 34 stated that this was humiliating but she did not question Employee 3 because she was afraid. Resident 34 stated that she did not void in her brief and a short time later rang her call bell again, and when Employee 3 entered the room, Resident 34 suggested to Employee 3 that they compromise and Employee 3 assist Resident 34 onto the bedpan. Resident 34 said that Employee 3 agreed to this, helped Resident 34 onto the bedpan, and then Employee 3 sat in the Resident's room next to Resident 34 chewing gum while Resident 34 was on the bedpan. Resident 34 stated that she was unable to void on the bedpan with Employee 3 sitting there and was taken off the bedpan. Resident 34 stated that she later rang the call bell a third time, a different staff member answered, and she was finally taken to the bathroom where she was able to void. Resident 34 stated that later that day she completed a grievance form and turned it in to facility staff.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of facility provided documents dated November 6, 2024, at 11:30 AM, revealed that when Employee 3 was questioned about the allegations made by Resident 34, she refused to make any statement or tell them what had occurred. Employee 3 was tearful and departed premises. Review of facility investigation, concluded that Employee 3 did not honor Resident 34's choice to use the bathroom, causing the Resident mental anguish. Resident 34 also disclosed that Employee 3 told her she would not take her to the bathroom and angrily responded to Resident 34's request. Therefore, the facility found that the allegations of mental abuse were substantiated. Interview with Nursing Home Administrator on November 14, 2024, at 11:30 AM, revealed that the facility is aware of the alleged abuse by Employee 3 and it should not have occurred. He feels that the facility responded correctly to the incident when made aware and it is unfortunate that Employee 3 took it upon herself to act like this. 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 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on facility policy review, observations, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure care and services are provided in accordance with professional standards of practice that will meet each resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for three of 21 residents reviewed (Residents 6, 22, and 63). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Weight and Height Measurement, last revised December 4, 2023, read, in part, Policy: To define a systematic approach to weighing and determining height for residents in order to facilitate a plan to identify significant weight loss or weight gain. Procedure: In Skilled Nursing, residents' weight will be monitored weekly upon admission/readmission for four weeks and monthly thereafter or as indicated by the resident's condition or physician's order. All weights will be entered into the electronic medical record. Weights should be obtained in consistent circumstances, such as the same time of day and with similar clothing. All data will be reviewed by the Director of Nursing (DON)/designee. Review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Alzheimer's Disease (a chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning) and age-related physical debility. Observation of Resident 6 on November 12, 2024, at 9:56 AM, revealed that the Resident was seated in a broda chair with their legs extended, slightly dangling, and unable to reach the floor. The chair leg rests were noted to be laying on the floor beside Resident 6's chest of drawers. Observation of Resident 6 on November 13, 2024, at 9:38 AM, revealed that the Resident was seated in a broda chair with their legs extended, slightly dangling, and unable to reach the floor. The chair leg rests were noted to be laying on the floor underneath a chair in Resident 6's room. During a staff interview with Employee 1 on November 13, 2024, at 9:41 AM, Employee 1 revealed that this was a temporary chair for Resident 6 and was only to be used for a couple days because Resident 6's normal chair needed some repairs. Employee 1 further indicated that it had been over a week since Resident 6 had been using this temporary chair. Employee 1 said they were told not to use leg rests on the chair because they would be a safety risk if Resident 6 were to slide down in the chair onto the leg rests, the chair could flip over. Employee 1 also said that one day last week they had used a chair to prop Resident 6's legs up on to keep them from hanging down. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on November 13, 2024, at 1:40 PM, the DON confirmed that Resident 6's normal chair was needing repaired as the chair back would not adjust. She indicated that she had asked maintenance for an update on the chair a few days ago and that she would follow-up with maintenance again. Email communication received from the NHA on November 13, 2024, at 3:11 PM, indicated that the repair part had arrived at the facility that day, the chair had been repaired, Resident 6 has received their normal chair, and the temporary chair was removed from Resident 6's room.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some that therapy had determined that the temporary chair being utilized for Resident 6 was appropriate and that leg rests were an appropriate nursing measure. The email further indicated that Resident 6's had utilized the temporary chair from November 4-13, 2024. The NHA indicated that he did not know why the leg rests for the temporary chair were not being applied by staff. During a final interview with the NHA and DON on November 14, 2024, at 11:18 AM, the DON indicated that she would expect staff to report any concerns they had with the use of the leg rests while utilizing the temporary chair for Resident 6. Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), Alzheimer's disease, and muscle weakness. Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed she had a weight loss of 13.9 pounds (12%) from September 2, 2024, to October 8, 2024, confirmed by a reweigh. Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed a dietitian assessment in response to the weight loss on October 10, 2024, with plans to add a nutritional supplement drink and monitor weights. The dietitian assessed Resident 22 again on October 23, 2024, with plans to monitor weights. Review of Resident 22's care plan revealed a focus area for significant weight loss with an intervention for review weights and notify MD and responsible party of significant weight changes, with a start date of May 3, 2024. Further review of Resident 22's clinical record on November 12, 2024, failed to reveal a November 2024 weight measure. During an email correspondence with the NHA and DON on November 12, 2024, at 1:54 PM, the surveyor inquired how often Resident 22 should be getting weighed and if she should have a physician order for weight monitoring. Review of Resident 22's physician orders on November 13, 2024, revealed she had a new order for Monthly Weight and Vital Signs every day shift every 4 weeks on Wednesday on Shower day, with a start date of November 13, 2024, at 7:00 AM, and her weight had been obtained that morning. Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed her preferred shower schedule is Wednesdays on 7-3 shift. Interview with Employee 6 (Registered Dietitian) on November 13, 2024, at approximately 11:00 AM, she explained her process for notifying the MD of significant weight changes, and that Resident 22 should be on monthly weight monitoring. During an interview with the DON on November 13, 2024, at 1:59 PM, she revealed each resident gets a weight measure obtained monthly per their standing physician orders, unless otherwise specified by the dietitian or physician. The surveyor inquired if Resident 22's weight should have been obtained on the 6th of November, the week prior for consistency purposes, and to capture significant weight changes. The DON replied it should just be done once per month. The surveyor also referenced consistency of time of day and similar clothing per facility policy, and that obtaining weights on random days of the month may not capture significant weight changes from month to month.

During an interview with the DON on November 14, 2024, at 11:06 AM, the surveyor inquired if she could locate documentation to indicate Resident 22 received a shower or refused a shower on November 6, 2024. Follow-up interview with the DON and Employee 5 on November 14, 2024, at 11:47 AM, revealed Resident 22 did get a shower on November 6, 2024, and did get a weight obtained that morning. Employee 5 stated that she forgot to put the weight measure into the electronic health record. During a final interview with the NHA and DON on November 14, 2024, at 12:32 PM, the surveyor revealed the overall concern with inconsistent weight monitoring for Resident 22, including documented use of different scales, different shifts, and missed entry of the November 2024 weight measure into the electronic health record.
