Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of observations, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to ensure that residents are free of significant medication errors for two of five residents reviewed (Resident
R94 and R85). Findings include: Review of the United States Food and Drug package insert for
levothyroxine sodium (synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid
gland does not produce enough T4) dated 12/2017, indicated: Administer once daily, preferably on an
empty stomach, one-half to one hour before breakfast. Administer at least 4 hours before or after drugs that
are known to interfere with absorption. Listed within the medications that interfere with levothyroxine
absorption were: Proton-pump inhibitors - Gastric acidity is an essential requirement for adequate
absorption of levothyroxine. Sucralfate, antacids and proton pump inhibitors may cause hypochlorhydria,
affect intragastric pH, and reduce levothyroxine absorption. Review of facility policy Medication and
Treatment Orders dated August 2024, indicated that drugs and biologicals that are required to be refilled
must be reordered from the issuing pharmacy not less than three days prior to the last dosage being
administered to ensure that refills are readily available. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R94
was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of
resident care needs) dated 9/10/25, included diagnoses of rhabdomyolysis and arthritis due to bacterial
infection. The MDS did not include information regarding hypothyroidism / low-functioning thyroid gland.
Review of the facility diagnosis list on 9/18/25, failed to include hypothyroidism / low-functioning thyroid
gland. Review of hospital discharge paperwork dated 9/6/25, indicated Resident R94 was to receive 100
mcg (micrograms) of levothyroxine every morning. Review of a physician's order dated 9/6/25, indicated
Resident R94 was to receive levothyroxine 100 mcg each morning. Review of a physician's order dated
9/7/25, indicated Resident R94 was to receive pantoprazole (a protein-pump inhibitor used to treat acid
reflux) 40 mg (milligrams) each morning. Review of the Medication Admin Audit Report (documents orders
and actual times provided for medications) for September 2025, revealed that Resident R94 was scheduled
to receive both levothyroxine and pantoprazole at 9:00 a.m. During a medication administration observation
on 9/17/25, at 8:05 a.m. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E6 stated that she would need to verify
the correctness of the scheduled time for the levothyroxine, as she was aware that it needs to be given prior
to eating and not with other medications. During an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on
9/17/25, at approximately 10:30 a.m. she confirmed that the timing of Resident R94's order for
levothyroxine is incorrect and was adjusted that morning and confirmed one additional resident had
levothyroxine ordered incorrectly. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R85 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R85's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of dementia and a
thyroid disorder. Review of a physician's order dated 8/26/25, indicated Resident R85 was to receive
levothyroxine 150 mcg each morning. Review of a physician's order dated 8/26/25, indicated Resident R85
was to receive pantoprazole 20 mg each morning. Review of the Medication Admin Audit Report for
September 2025, revealed that Resident R85 was scheduled to receive both levothyroxine and
pantoprazole at 9:00 a.m. During an interview on 12/18/25, at at approximately 12:30 p.m. the Nursing
Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to ensure that residents are
free of significant medication errors for two of five residents. 28 Pa. Code: 201.14(a) Responsibility of

Based on policy review, documentation and review of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for
Legionella (bacteria that causes disease found in contaminated water) control, and staff interviews it was
determined that the facility failed to maintain a comprehensive program for water management to monitor
the potential development and spread of Legionella and failed to implement control measures for Legionella
within the facility for eleven of twelve months (October 2024 through August 2025).Finding include:Review
of the facility policy Legionella Water Management Program dated 1/22/25, previously dated 1/18/24,
indicated Specific actions should be taken for prevention of Legionella and for investigation should a case
occur. Core Elements of the Water Management Plan are:1. Establish Water Management Plan team.2.
Describe Center's water system using text and flow diagram.3. Risk assessment with control methods and
corrective actions.4. Monitoring control measures.5. Corrective actions.6. Verification and validation.7.
Documentation and communication.Review of Department of Health and Human services, Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) memo, Requirement to Reduce Legionella Risk in Healthcare
Facility Water Systems to Prevent Cases and Outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease (LD) dated 7/6/18,
revealed, Facilities must develop and adhere to policies and procedures that inhibit microbial growth in
building water systems that reduce the risk of growth and spread Legionella and other opportunistic
pathogens in water. This policy memorandum applies to Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) and
Long-Term Care (LTC). However, this policy memorandum is also intended to provide general awareness
for all healthcare organizations. Facilities must have water management plans and documentation that, at
minimum, ensure each facility:-Conducts a facility risk assessment to identify where Legionella and other
opportunistic waterborne pathogens (e.g. Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Nontuberculous Mycobacteria,
Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, and fungi) could grow and spread in the facility water system.-Develops
and implements a water management program that considers the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers) industry standard and the CDC toolkit.-Specifies testing
protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures and document the results of testing and corrective
actions taken when control limits are not maintained.-Maintains compliance with other applicable Federal,
State, and local requirements.Review of the ASHRAE guidance Managing the Risk of Legionellosis
Associated with Building Water Systems dated December 2020, indicated the most commonly used
supplemental disinfection methods are treatment with chlorine, chlorine-dioxide, copper-silver ions, and
monochloramine. The guidance further indicated the recommended levels of residual chlorine are 0.50-3.00
ppm (part per million).Review of the Water Management Program Control Measures did not contain a log
for Point of Use Disinfectant (the level of chlorine concentration in the water) indicated to measure and
record hot water and cold-water chlorine concentration as point of use, and to note that chlorine
concentration below 0.5 ppm and above 4.0 ppm as outside the control limits. Review of the Water
Management Program Preventive Maintenance did not contain logs for flushing of all hot water and storage
tanks monthly, minimum water temperature testing in all tanks. During an interview on 9/16/25, at
approximately 11:30 a.m. the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the facility failed to maintain a
comprehensive program for water management to monitor the potential development and spread of
Legionella and failed to implement control measures for Legionella within the facility.28 Pa. Code: 201.14(a)

Based on observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to make certain that
equipment was maintained in operating condition in the Main Kitchen. Findings include: During an
observation of the Main Kitchen on 9/16/25, at 12:48 p.m. the two-compartment sink in the food preparation
area was noted to have approximately 2-3 inches of standing water in the right compartment, with a large
amount of black sediment collecting in the garbage disposal drain and floating in the standing water. During
an interview at this time, Dietary Manager Employee E4 confirmed that garbage disposal is not operable.
Dietary Manager Employee E4 stated that staff place a large baking sheet over the inoperable sink area to
have a food preparation area. Dietary Manager Employee E4 confirmed that the maintenance department
