Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on facility policy review, clinical record reviews, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to provide the highest practical well-being by not following physician orders for three of 22
residents reviewed (Residents 3, 8, and 84).Findings include: Review of Resident 3's clinical record
revealed diagnoses that included dependence on renal dialysis (an artificial process for removing waste
products and excess fluids from the body that is needed when the kidneys are not functioning properly),
hypertension (high blood pressure), and weakness. Review of Resident 3's physician orders revealed an
order for Midodrine HCl Oral Tablet 5 mg, Give 2 tablets by mouth every 8 hours as needed for hypotension

Review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed a document titled Physician Orders with an order dated May
5, 2025, that read, Change Midodrine to 10 mg PRN (as needed) for SBP <120. Further review of
Resident 3's clinical record revealed her SBP measure was below 120 on May 27; June 6, 25, 29; July 8;
and August 13, 2025. Review of Resident 3's May-August 2025 MAR (Medication Administration Recorddocumentation for treatments/medication administered or monitored), revealed she did not receive any
doses of the PRN midodrine order on May 27; June 6, 25, 29; July 8; and August 13, 2025. Interview with
Employee 2 (Registered Nurse) on August 21, 2025, at 11:04 AM, she revealed the midodrine should have
been given on the aforementioned dates and those were medication errors. During an interview with the
Director of Nursing (DON) on August 21, 2025, at 11:39 AM, she revealed she would expect medications to
be given per physician orders. Review of Resident 8's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included

left non-dominant side, enterocolitis (inflammation of the digestive tract) due to clostridium difficile (a
bacteria that causes an infection of the colon, the longest part of the large intestine), and dementia (a
chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders,
personality changes, and impaired reasoning). Review of Resident 8's clinical record revealed that her
medication regimen was reviewed by the facility pharmacist on April 28, 2025. Review of the facility
provided Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review form revealed that the pharmacist noted
that according to the MAR [Medication Administration Record] in PCC [Point Click Care-the facility's
electronic health record] no vancomycin doses are scheduled to be administered on 5/9/2025,
5/17/25-5/24/25 or 6/1/2025-6/7/2025. There was a written notation in the Follow-Through section on this
report that indicated transcribed correctly in PCC with no signature or date noted. Review of Resident 8's
physician order history revealed the following orders dated April 14 2025: vancomycin 50mg/ml give 2.5 ml
via PEG every 6 hours for 10 days (start on April 15, 2025 and stop on April 25, 2025); then give 2.5 ml
every 8 hours for 7 days (start on April 25, 2025, and stop on May 2, 2025); then give 2.5 ml every 12 hours

that she received no doses of vancomycin on May 9, 2025. In addition, there was no entry for vancomycin
to be delivered between May 17-May 24, 2025. During a staff interview with Employee 3 and Employee 4

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policy, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to maintain an effective infection control program related to the preparation and administration of
medications for two Residents observed (Residents 3 and 55).Findings include: Review of facility policy,
titled IIB2: Oral Medication Administration, with a last review date of January 2025, revealed C. For solid
medications: 1) Pour or push the correct number of tablets or capsules into the souffle cup, taking care to
avoid touching the tablet or capsule, unless wearing gloves. During a medication pass observation on
August 20, 2025, between 9:22 AM and 9:30 AM, Employee 6 was observed preparing and administering
medications to Residents 3 and 55. When preparing medications, Employee 6 was observed using an ink
pen to poke a hole in the back of the pill pouch on each blister pack, and then used the ink pen to poke the
pill through from the front of the blister pack into the medication cup. She prepared and administered six
medications to Resident 3, and 10 medications to Resident 55. During a staff interview with Employee 6 on
August 20, 2025, at 9:40 AM, Employee 6 confirmed that she had used the pen to poke the back of the
blister pack and could not be sure that the pen did not touch the pills. She said that the pills are hard to
push through the blister pouches sometimes, and sometimes the back of the blister pack falls into the
medication cup. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, the Assistant Nursing Home
Administrator, and the Director of Nursing (DON) on August 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM, the DON confirmed that
Employee 6 should not have been using her ink pen to poke holes into the back of the medication blister
packs to remove medications. 28 Pa. Code 211.10(d) Resident care policies28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(2)(5)
