F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide a reasonable accommodation of needs in response to call bell activations for one of two nursing units observed (Unit 2; Residents 14 and 57). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 57 revealed a diagnosis list that included dementia (a loss of cognitive function that is caused by the permanent damage or death of the brain's nerve cells, or neurons). Resident 57's annual Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated January 14, 2025, noted facility staff assessed the resident as having a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 15, which indicated no cognitive impairment. An interview with Resident 57 on March 18, 2025, at 11:31 AM revealed he was sitting in a chair next to the bed. The resident reported concerns that staff do not answer the call bell activations timely and sometimes take an hour or longer to respond and this occurs all the time. Clinical record review for Resident 14 (Resident 57's roommate) revealed a significant change MDS dated [DATE], that noted a BIMS of 13. Nursing documentation for Resident 14 dated March 9, 2025, at 1:31 PM revealed Resident noted with cognitive decline. An attempted interview with Resident 14 on March 18, 2025, at 11:40 AM revealed the resident was asleep and unable to be interviewed. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on March 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM revealed the facility can review call bell logs; however, the logs are not specific to the resident and account for the entire room. A review of the facility documentation titled Room Event Report, for Residents 14 and 57 revealed the following call bell activation dates/times with an elapsed time greater than 20 minutes: March 7, 2025, at 2:16 PM; elapsed time 20 minutes, 33 seconds March 8, 2025, at 8:14 PM; elapsed time one hour, 16 minutes, 48 seconds (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review, review of select facility policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to promote bladder continence for one of one resident reviewed for incontinence (Resident 31). Findings include: The policy entitled Urinary Continence and Incontinence- Assessment and Management, last reviewed on November 16, 2024, indicates as part of the initial and ongoing resident assessments, the nursing staff and physician will screen residents for information related to urinary incontinence. As part of the facility's assessment, nursing staff will seek and document details related to continence (relevant details include voiding patterns, associated pain or discomfort, and types of incontinence). The nursing staff and physician will identify risk factors for becoming incontinent, or for worsening of the resident's current incontinence. The evaluation will include a review for medications that might affect continence. The staff and physician will summarize the individual's continence status. The staff and physician will identify residents with complications of existing incontinence, or who have risk for such complications. The physician and staff will also address treatable causes, or contributing factors related to urinary incontinence. If the resident remains incontinent despite treating transient causes of incontinence, the staff will initiate a toileting plan. The staff will document the results of the toileting trial in the resident's medical record. The staff and physician will evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and implement additional pertinent interventions as indicated. Review of Resident 31's clinical record revealed a Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated February 8, 2025, that indicated that the facility assessed him as being frequently incontinent of bladder, and that a urinary toileting program has not been attempted. The facility also assessed Resident 31 using a BIMS (brief interview for mental status) assessment, with a score of 15 (cognitively intact), and as being able to understand others, be understood, and having adequate vision and hearing. The MDS dated [DATE], also indicated that the facility assessed Resident 31 as requiring extensive assistance of two staff for toileting. There was no documented evidence in Resident 31's clinical record to indicate that the facility's physician or nursing staff assessed Resident 31 to determine the type of urinary incontinence, or to develop an individualized toileting program or plan of care. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on March 21, 2025, at 10:30 AM confirmed the above findings for Resident 31. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(1) Management 28 Pa.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to store supplemental oxygen equipment per professional standards of practice for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 19). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 19 revealed a diagnosis list that included acute and chronic respiratory failure (a condition that makes it difficult to breathe) with hypercapnia (elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the blood), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease that causes inflammation and restricted air flow into and out of the lungs), acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (low oxygen levels in the body), and pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Current physician orders for Resident 19 revealed an order dated September 17, 2024, for supplemental oxygen at five liters per minute (LPM) via nasal cannula (medical tubing that delivers supplemental oxygen to the nose) every shift to maintain pulse ox (pulse oximeter; a non-invasive measure of the body's oxygen level) greater than 90 percent. A review of the current care plan for Resident 19 revealed the resident is at risk for respiratory impairment due to the medical history. Observation of a wheelchair outside of Resident 19's room on March 18, 2025, at 1:02 PM and 2:25 PM; and March 19, 2025, at 12:10 PM revealed a nasal cannula attached to a portable supplemental oxygen cylinder. The nasal cannula was stuffed into the back canvas storage area of the backrest of the wheelchair. There were also two footrests for the wheelchair in this storage area. The nasal cannula tubing was not protected from contamination from the ambient environment or the footrests in the same storage compartment. An interview with Employee 5, registered nurse unit manager, on March 19, 2025, at 12:10 PM revealed the wheelchair belonged to Resident 19 and the findings were reviewed with Employee 5. The above information was reviewed in a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on March 19, 2025, at 1:45 PM. 483.25(i) Respiratory/tracheostomy Care and Suctioning Previously cited deficiency 3/22/24 28 Pa.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. Based on observation, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assess for the risk of side rail entrapment for one of three residents reviewed for accident hazards (Resident 72). Findings include: Observation of Resident 72's room on March 18, 2025, at 2:02 PM revealed that there was a left one-quarter side rail observed on the bed. Clinical record review for Resident 72 revealed that the facility completed a side rail assessment, review of potential risks, and obtained consent on February 7, 2025. The facility also completed a side rail entrapment evaluation on February 7, 2025, which revealed that the facility assessed zone six (between the end of the enabler device and the side of the headboard). There was no documentation that the facility assessed the risk for entrapment posed in zones one (within the rail), two (between the bottom of the rail and top of compressed mattress), three (between the edge of the mattress and inside of the rail, and four (between the top of the compressed mattress and the bottom of the rail at the end of the rail).
