Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of clinical records and facility documentation and staff interviews, it was determined the
facility failed to provide a Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage and for the appeal process for one of
three records reviewed. (Resident 19).
Residents Affected - Few
Finding include:
A review of the form Instructions for the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) CMS-10123, (a notice
that informs the recipient when care receive from skilled nursing facility is ending and how you can contact
a Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) to appeal) revealed instructions that a Medicare provider must
ensure that the notice is delivered at least two calendar days before Medicare covered services end. The
provider must ensure that the beneficiary or their representative signs and dates the NOMNC to
demonstrate that the beneficiary or their representative received the notice and understands the
termination of services can be disputed.
Review of the list of discharged residents, provided by the facility, from a Medicare covered Part A stay with
benefit days remaining in the past six months revealed no indication that Resident 19 or their representative
was given at least a two-day notice, informing the beneficiary that skilled nursing services will end (last
covered day) in two days.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 19 Medicare Part A skilled services started on December 28,
2022, and the last covered day of Part A services was January 6, 2023.
There was no evidence that the resident or representative had been notified verbally or in writing 48 hours

Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide written notice
of facility initiated transfer to the hospital identifying the reason for the transfer in a language and manner
easily understand by one resident (Resident 9) and failed to provide written notice of the facility initiated
transfer to the hospital to the resident's representative for one resident out of six sampled (Resident 34).
Findings include:
A review of Resident 9's clinical record revealed that the resident was transferred to the hospital on March
2, 2023, and returned to the facility on March 30, 2023. The identified reason for the resident's transfer was
noted as low hemoglobin (A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood.
Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and
transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs. If a hemoglobin test reveals that
your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you have a low red blood cell count {anemia}).
A review of Resident 34's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
and was severely cognitively impaired. The resident was transferred to the hospital on April 11, 2023, and
returned to the facility on April 15, 2023. There was no indication that the resident's representative was
provided written notice of the resident's transfer to the hospital.
Interview with the Administrator on April 19, 2023, at approximately 10:30 a.m. confirmed that Resident 9's
reason for the transfer was not written in a language and manner easily understood. The NHA also verified
that the facility was unable to provide evidence that written notice was provided to Resident 34's
representative. The NHA stated that the facility did not have a mailing address for Resident 34's
representative, although the resident had resided in the facility since March 17, 2023, and was severely
cognitively impaired.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and the Resident Assessment Instrument and staff interviews, it was determined
the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessments (MDS - a federally mandated standardized
assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) accurately reflected the status of three
resident out of 14 sampled (Resident 9, 34, and 12).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The Significant change MDS Assessment of Resident 9, dated October 7, 2022, revealed that Section A
1500 was coded as 0 indicating that the resident was not considered by the State to require a Level II
PASRR admission screening process, to have serious mental illness, and/or intellectual disability or mental
retardation or a related condition. (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review {PASARR} is a federal
requirement to help ensure that individuals are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term
care. PASARR requires that 1) all applicants to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility be evaluated for serious
mental disorder and/or intellectual disability; 2) be offered the most appropriate setting for their needs (in
the community, a nursing facility, or acute care setting); and 3) receive the services they need in those
settings).
However, a review of Resident 9's clinical record revealed a Level I PASRR was completed on June 28,
2021, which indicated that the resident did not meet the criteria for a Level II PASRR, However, an appeal
of the decision and a determination made by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Office of
Developmental Programs on July 7, 2021, indicated Resident 9 needed special services for Intellectual
Disabilities (ID).
A review of Resident 34's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated in Section N0410
Medications Received that Insulin injections were received seven times in the last seven days.
Review of the Resident 34's March 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that Resident
34 was hospitalized [DATE], and March 19, 2023, and not present in the facility. According to the MAR the
resident received Insulin injections on only five days during the look back period.
A review of Resident 12's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses, which included schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave
clearly) and bipolar disorder (a mental condition with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive
lows to manic highs).
A review of Resident 12's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Section A 1500 was coded
as 0 indicating that the resident was not considered by the State to require a Level II PASRR process, to
have serious mental illness, and/or intellectual disability or mental retardation or a related condition.
However, a review of Resident 12's clinical record revealed a Level I PASRR was completed on March 17,
2023, which indicated that the resident did meet the criteria for a Level II PASRR. A determination letter
dated March 21, 2023 from the Pennsylvania Department of Health Office of Mental Health and Substance
Abuse confirmed Resident 12's need for specialized services due to a mental condition.

Residents Affected - Some
Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to incorporate
the recommendations from the Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) level II
determination and the PASRR evaluation report into a resident's assessment, care planning, and transitions
of care for two of three residents reviewed (Residents 12 and 4).
Findings include:
Review of clinical record of Resident 12 revealed diagnoses to include schizophrenia (a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly) and bipolar disorder (a mental condition with
episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs).
Further review of Resident 12's clinical record revealed a PASARR Level I (federally required assessment
to help ensure that all individuals with serious mental disorders and/or intellectual disabilities are not
inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) dated March 17, 2023, with the following
outcome: Individual has a positive screen for Serious Mental Illness, Intellectual Disability, and/or Other
Related Condition; requires further evaluation (Level II).
A PASARR Level II determination letter dated March 21, 2023, indicated that, You do have evidence of a
Mental Health condition that meets the criteria for review by the Office of Mental Health and Substance
Abuse Services (OMHSAS). You may benefit from specialized mental health services. The County Mental
Health office shall assist the nursing facility in accessing mental health services for you in accordance with
OMHSAS Bulletin-16-11. The treatment must be provided by qualified mental health professionals, and
treatment can include partial psychiatric hospitalization, peer support services, psychiatric outpatient clinic
services, mobile mental health treatment, crisis intervention services, targeted mental health care
management, and outpatient drug and alcohol services. Residents who reside in the Nursing Facility may
receive specialized mental health services either in the facility or in the community.
Review of Resident 12's current care plan conducted during the survey ending April 20, 2023, revealed no
care plan developed in relationship to the PASARR II determination. The care plan failed to identify the
individual and specific referrals made, or services recommended and/or provided to the resident as the
result of the resident's mental health condition and PASARR II.
Review of clinical record of Resident 4 revealed diagnoses to include schizophrenia (a disorder that affects
a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly) and bipolar disorder (a mental condition with episodes
of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs).
Further review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed a PASARR Level I (federally required assessment to
help ensure that all individuals with serious mental disorders and/or intellectual disabilities are not
inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) dated November 15, 2022, with the following
outcome: Individual has a positive screen for Serious Mental Illness, Intellectual Disability, and/or Other
Related Condition; requires further evaluation (Level II).
A PASARR Level II determination letter dated February 8, 2023, indicated that, You do have evidence of a

Plan the resident's discharge to meet the resident's goals and needs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of clinical records and resident and staff interview it was determined that the facility
failed to develop and implement an individualized discharge plan for one of two residents reviewed for
discharge planning (Resident 6).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
A review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on August 19, 2022, with
diagnoses including congestive heart failure (chronic condition in which the heart does not pump as well as
it should) and depression.
During interview with Resident 6 on April 18, 2023, at 10:00 AM the resident stated that he was satisfied at
the facility, but if possible, would like to transfer to a facility, which allowed smoking.
There was no evidence of the resident's discharge plans or assessment of the resident's potential for
discharge to lesser level of care, identification of the resident's discharge goals or if the resident's
placement was long term.
Review of Resident 6's current plan of care, in effect at the time of the survey ending April 20, 2023,
revealed no documented evidence of the resident's discharge goals or the development of a discharge plan
to meet this resident's goals for discharge. The resident's care plan did not identify that the resident was to
remain in the facility for continuing long term care.
Interview with the administrator on April 20, 2023, at approximately 10:00 AM failed to provide documented
evidence that a functioning discharge planning process, that begins on admission, and involves identifying
each resident's discharge goals and needs, developing and implementing interventions to address them,
and continuously evaluating them throughout the resident's stay to ensure a successful discharge had been
developed for Resident 6.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and interviews with staff and resident it was determined that the facility failed to
consistently provide a functional communication system to maintain the resident's ability to communicate
for one resident with communication needs out of 14 sampled residents (Resident 32).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
An admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment
process conducted at specific intervals to plan a resident's care) dated March 10, 2023, revealed Resident
32 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 14 (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool to assess
cognitive function - a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact) and that the resident's preferred language
was Spanish.
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 32 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
to include diabetes, anxiety, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, tracheostomy, and gastro-esophageal
reflux disease (GERD).
A nurses' note dated March 3, 2023, at 2:17 PM, indicated the resident was admitted to facility at this time.
The resident's daughter was present at bedside at this time. The entry noted that the resident speaks
Spanish and a translator was at the resident's bedside.
Interview with Resident 32, on April 19, 2023, at approximately 8:05 AM, revealed that the resident was
lying in bed. After knocking, and obtaining visual acknowledgment of entrance, the surveyor entered the
resident's room. There was no communication binder-book or communication board visibly present in the
resident's room to allow the survey or to communicate with the resident. An attempt was made to
communicate with the alert and oriented resident in English, but the resident did not appear to understand.
A second observation of Resident 32, on April 19, 2023, at approximately 9:55 AM, in the presence of the
Director of Nursing (DON), revealed the resident was sitting up in bed. During this the DON confirmed that
there was no communication binder-book , communication or other communication tool present in the
resident's room to communicate with the resident
A review of Resident 32's comprehensive plan of care in effect during the survey ending April 20, 2023,
revealed that the resident's care plan did not address that the resident's primary spoken language was
Spanish and failed to address the resident's communication needs and the measures planned to maintain
the resident's communication abilities and methods for staff to effectively communicate with the resident in
the absence of an interpreter.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on April 19, 2023, at approximately 1:45 PM,
confirmed that the facility failed to develop and implement a functional system to maintain this resident's

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**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 provide restorative
nursing services planned to maintain the functional abilities and declines in range of motion for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 22).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included Hemiplegia (in its most severe form, complete paralysis of half of the body) and
Hemiparesis (unilateral paresis, is weakness of one entire side of the body) following cerebral infarction (or
stroke, is a brain lesion in which a cluster of brain cells die when they don't get enough blood) affecting the
left non dominant side.
An occupational therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE], indicated that Resident 22 was to wear a left
had orthotic (splint or brace) at bedtime to prevent further contracture and manage tone. A Restorative
Nursing Program (RNP) was to be established for the splint.
There was no documented evidence that the resident was participating in a restorative nursing program
following discharge from OT on February 3, 2023, through April 19, 2023, the time of surveyor inquiry.
Interview with the Director of Therapy on April 19, 2023, at 10:30 AM confirmed that the facility failed to
provide the restorative nursing program planned for Resident 22's splint use following discharge from OT on
February 3, 2023.

that the facility failed to ensure the provision of necessary supervision during meals to promote resident
safety while eating as required by one resident out of 14 residents sampled
Findings include:
A review of Resident 7's clinical record revealed that she was admitted to the facility February 12, 2020,
with diagnoses to include dementia, anxiety, protein - calorie malnutrition, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing),
and malignant neoplasm of the larynx, and tongue.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process
conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated January 31, 2023, revealed that the resident
was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 14 (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool to assess cognitive
function - a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact), and required staff supervision with eating, with one
person physical assistance.
A review of the resident's care plan initially dated, February 19, 2020, revealed a focus area that the
resident is nutritionally at risk related to malignant neoplasm of tongue and larynx, and dysphagia. The
planned interventions to assist the resident included regular diet with puree texture and thin consistency
liquids. Allow mechanical soft snacks of choice, including graham crackers with milk, cheese puffs and
cakes/cupcakes, with staff supervision during activities, dated as resolved March 31, 2023.
The resident had a physician order December 23, 2022, for a regular diet, puree texture, thin consistency,
double portions per resident request and a divided plate with all meals. The order also noted to allow
mechanical soft snacks of choice with supervision.
Nursing documentation dated March 30, 2023, at 3:34 PM, indicated that Resident 23 (Resident 7's
roommate) was heard calling for help. A licensed practical nurse (LPN) responded to the residents' room
and observed that Resident 7 was unable to talk or cough. Resident 7 nodded and grabbed at her neck to
indicate that she was choking. The LPN immediately began abdominal thrusts x 2, less than 30 seconds
later the resident was able to clear on own with cough. Registered Nurse (RN) in to assess RT. No acute
distress noted. The resident was speaking and coughing. Lungs clear to auscultation. O2 saturation 94%.
The resident stated that she was eating an egg salad sandwich and began choking. The physician was
noted and ordered an x-ray.
A dietary note, dated March 31, 2023, at 9:14 AM, as a late entry, indicated that speech therapy (ST)
evaluated patient for safe oral (PO) intake. Discussed with her the difficulty that she had with the soft
sandwich. Following the evaluation, informed her that she is going to stay on a puree diet only. She was
agreeable.
Nursing noted on March 31, 2023, at 1:52 PM, indicated Left lower lobe pneumonia noted. Pt with
decreased breath sounds at this time with slight non - productive cough, afebrile.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
An employee witness statement dated March 30, 2023, from Employee 4, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),
revealed that she was documenting on the computer standing by resident room [ROOM NUMBER]. Then
had heard roommate (Resident 23), calling help. Employee 4, LPN, promptly ran into the room and found
the Resident 7 holding her neck and egg salad sandwich in front of her.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with alert and oriented Resident 7, on April 19, 2023, at approximately 8:50 AM, revealed she
was eating an egg salad sandwich, but was not able to recall if staff was present in the room, or in the
hallway.
Interview with alert and oriented Resident 23, (roommate) on April 19, 2023, at approximately 8:55 AM,
revealed that staff was not present in the room, however, was not able to state where staff was located
outside the room.
Interview (telephone) with Employee 4, LPN on April 18, 2023, at approximately 11:33 AM, indicated she
had been outside Resident 7's room, going up and down the hallway, documenting on the computer, which
was positioned on top the cart. Employee 4 indicated she was not able to stay in one position because of
the physical layout (width-distance) of the hallway and needed to move position when residents were being
transported and or self - propelling in their wheelchairs. She further stated her back was turned when she
heard Resident 23, (roommate) calling for help, when she quickly turned and entered the room.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on April 18, 2023, at approximately 12:10 PM, confirmed that
the facility was unable to determine the staff member who had been assigned to supervise Resident 7,
while eating on that date as required. The DON was also unable to state the type of activity in which the
resident had participated on March 30, 2023, at 3:00 PM, in the resident's room while eating the sandwich
to ensure that the resident's care plan was followed to allow the mechanical soft snacks with supervision
during activities.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on April 19, 2023, at approximately 9:40 AM,
confirmed the above, and was unable to provide any additional information. She further acknowledged the
facility failed to provide necessary staff supervision while the resident was eating to deter choking episodes.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select facility policies and procedures and clinical records, observation, and resident
and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide supplemental oxygen administration
care consistent with professional standards of practice for one of five residents reviewed (Resident 31).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility policy entitled, Oxygen Administration, last reviewed December 19, 2022, revealed that the first
step in the procedure for oxygen administration is to verify the physician's order.
Observation of Resident 31 on April 18, 2023, at 11:12 a.m. revealed the resident was in his room with
supplemental oxygen in place via an oxygen concentrator (bedside machine that concentrates ambient air
to supply an oxygen-rich gas stream) with the liter flow set at 2.0 liters per minute (l/m).
Observation of Resident 31 on April 19, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. revealed the resident was in his room with
supplemental oxygen in place via an oxygen concentrator with liter flow set at 5.0 liters per minute (l/m).
Clinical record review for Resident 31 revealed physician's order for supplemental oxygen administration,
dated October 2, 2022, stated Supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula (flexible plastic tubing with small
prongs inserted into the nostrils to deliver supplemental oxygen) @ 2 LPM, every night shift related to
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with acute exacerbation (COPD-term used to describe progressive
lung diseases characterized by increasing breathlessness).
Interview with Resident 31 on April 19, 2023, at 9:05 a.m. revealed he wears the oxygen all the time except
when walking to the bathroom. Resident 31 reported he feels the need to wear oxygen all the time and has
increased shortness of breath after returning from using the bathroom. He stated he turns the oxygen
concentrator up all the way.
Interview with Employee 2 (Registered Nurse) on April 19, 2023, at 9:10 a.m. confirmed Resident 31 was
prescribed 2 liters of oxygen every night shift. Employee 2 added he often turns it up when he comes back
from the bathroom. Employee 2 confirmed that the resident's Medication Administration Record also
indicated Resident 31's physician order was for 2 liters of oxygen every night shift.
Interview with Nursing Home Administrator on April 19, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. confirmed the facility failed to
follow physician orders for the application of oxygen. In addition, the facility was unable to provide
documented evidence that Resident 31 was educated on physician directed orders for oxygen therapy.

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, a review of select facility policy and clinical records and staff interviews it was determined that
the facility failed to assess a resident's potential need for bed rails, including the risk for entrapment and a
review of the risks versus benefits with the resident and/or the resident's representative for one of four
sampled residents (Resident 36).
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy Use of Side Rails reviewed by the facility December 19, 2022, indicated Side
rails may be used as resident mobility aids and the use of side rails as restraints will not be used unless
necessary to treat a resident's medical symptom. Residents must be assessed for entrapment risk from bed
rails prior to use of side rails.
Guidelines for the policy included: Side rails are considered a restraint when they are used to limit the
resident's freedom of movement (prevent the resident from leaving his/her bed). (Note: the side rails may
have the effect of restraining one individual but not another, depending on the individual resident's condition
and circumstances.) The use of side rails as restraints is prohibited unless they are necessary to treat a
resident's medical symptoms. Quarter or half side rails, or enabler bars may be used to assist in mobility
and transfer of residents. An assessment will be made to determine the resident's symptoms or reason for
using side rails. When used for mobility or transfer, an assessment will include a review of the resident's:
bed mobility and ability to transfer between positions, to and from bed or chair, to stand and toilet. The use
of quarter or half side rails, as an assistive device will be addressed in the resident care plan. Informed
consent for the use of less restrictive devices will be obtained from the resident or legal representative per
facility protocol. Less restrictive interventions will be incorporated in care planning include: Providing
restorative care to enhance abilities to stand safely and walk; a trapeze to increase bed mobility; placing the
bed lower to the floor and surrounding the bed with a soft mat; equipping the resident with a device that
monitors attempts to rise; providing frequent staff monitoring at night with periodic assisted toileting for
residents attempting to arise to use the bathroom; and/or furnishing visual and verbal reminders to use the
call bell for residents who are able to comprehend the information. Documentation will indicate if less
restrictive approaches are not successful and orders to apply and monitor the use of side rails for a specific
time will be obtained. The use of siderails will be evaluated in terms of risks and benefits for each individual
resident. Informed consent for the side rail will be obtained from the resident and/or legal representative.
Signed consent forms do not alleviate the facility from meeting the requirements for restraint use, including
proper assessment and care planning. The resident or family representative may request a restraint;
however, the facility is responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of the request.) The resident will be
checked frequently for safety. If side rails are associated with decline in function, the resident's needs will
be reassessed. When side rail use is appropriate, the facility will assess the space between the mattress
and side rails to reduce the risk for entrapment. Side rails with padding may be used to prevent resident
injury in situations of uncontrollable movement disorders but are still restraints if they meet the definition of
a restraint. Designated facility staff will use judgement when assessing the resident's risk for injury due to
neurological disorders. For resident who have been restrained by side rails, the process to reduce the use
of side rails as restraints will be systematic and gradual (e.g. lessening the time the bed rail is used while
increasing visual and verbal reminders to use the

Clinical record revealed that Resident 11 was admitted [DATE], with diagnoses to include dementia (a
chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by
memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning).
Residents Affected - Some
Observation on April 18, 2023, at approximately 1:15 PM revealed Resident 11 was in bed with bilateral
side rails (approximately 27 inch in length) raised.
A quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] (Minimum Data Set - a federally mandated standardized
assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) revealed that Resident 36 was severely,
cognitively impaired with a BIMS score (BIMS stands for Brief Interview for Mental Status. It is a screen
used to assist with identifying a resident's current cognition) of 3 (0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive
impairment) and required extensive assistance of two staff for activities of daily living including bed mobility,
transfers and toileting, was non-ambulatory, and a physical restraint of a bed rail was being used daily in
bed.
Review of Resident 11's Side Rail Evaluation dated September 9, 2021, indicated bilateral side rails or grab
bars are indicated for the resident's use to serve as an enabler to promote independence with bed mobility
and positioning and that informed consent was obtained for side rail and/or restraint use, a physician order
was in place, and a review has been performed to determine that the mattress does not shift or slide
allowing for an increased gap between the bed and the side rail(s)/grab bars.
There was no documented evidence that a comprehensive side rail assessment had been conducted to
include an evaluation of the specific side rail (1/4 side rail, ½ side rail, grab bar, etc.) or alternatives to
the use of a bed rail that were attempted and how these alternatives failed to meet the resident's assessed
needs. Although the assessment noted that informed consent was obtained there was no documented
evidence of signed informed consent for the use of the siderails in the resident's clinical record.
Review of Resident 11's care plan initially dated September 14, 2021, and last revised December 22, 2022,
indicated the resident's use of bilateral enablers to increase independence with rolling during activities of
daily living. Interventions included to re-evaluate the use of bilateral enablers quarterly and as needed.
There was no documented evidence in the clinical record of a quarterly reassessment for the use of the
bilateral enablers. There was no documented evidence the facility assessed the bilateral enablers,which
was inconsistent with the MDS assessment noting that these devices were a physical restraint according to
the quarterly MDS dated [DATE].
During an interview conducted on April 20, 2023 at approximately 9:30 AM the director of nursing (DON)
stated that Resident 11's bilateral side rails were not considered a physical restraint, but were considered
an enabler. However, the DON failed to provide documented evidence that a comprehensive side rail
assessment (other than the initial Side Rail Evaluation dated September 9, 2021), to include documented
evidence of consent for the use of the side rails was obtained.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records and interviews with staff, it was determined the facility failed to provide therapeutic
and medically related social services to promote the psychosocial well-being of one of two residents
reviewed for discharge planning (Resident 6), coordination of required mental health services for two of
three residents (Resident 12 and 4) and assisting and arranging to meet a resident's communication needs
for one resident out of 14 sampled (Resident 32).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
According to long term care regulatory guidelines, examples of medically-related social services include:
o §483.15, Transitions of Care, §483.20, Resident Assessments (PASARR), and §483.21,
Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning;
o Assisting or arranging for a resident's communication of needs through the resident's primary method of
communication or in a language that the resident understands;
o Making referrals and obtaining needed services from outside entities
o Transitions of care services (e.g., assisting the resident with identifying community placement options and
completion of the application process, arranging intake for home care services for residents returning
home, assisting with transfer arrangements to other facilities);
o Providing or arranging for needed mental and psychosocial counseling services;
o Identifying and seeking ways to support residents' individual needs through the assessment and care
planning process;
Review of clinical record of Resident 12 revealed diagnoses to include schizophrenia (a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly) and bipolar disorder (a mental condition with
episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs).
Further review of Resident 12's clinical record revealed a PASARR Level I (federally required assessment
to help ensure that all individuals with serious mental disorders and/or intellectual disabilities are not
inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) dated March 17, 2023, with the following

placement was long term.
Review of Resident 6's current plan of care, in effect at the time of the survey ending April 20, 2023,
revealed no documented evidence of the resident's discharge goals or the development of a discharge plan
to meet this resident's goals for discharge. The resident's care plan did not identify that the resident was to
remain in the facility for continuing long term care.
Interview with the administrator on April 20, 2023, at approximately 10:00 AM failed to provide documented
evidence that a functioning discharge planning process, that begins on admission, and involves identifying
each resident's discharge goals and needs, developing and implementing interventions to address them,

resident expressed concerns about his teeth and stated that he has multiple cavities. When the resident
smiled, darkened areas, that appeared to be cavities, were observed on the resident's front bottom teeth.
An admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated that Resident 4 had obvious or likely cavity or broken natural
teeth. Review of the CAA (care assessment summary) area of the admission MDS indicated a dental care
was to be addressed in the resident's comprehensive plan of care.
A review of Resident 4's comprehensive plan of care initially dated November 14, 2022 revealed no
documented evidence that the resident's care plan addressed the resident's dental care or needs and any
interventions to address Resident 4's dental needs.
Interview with the director of nursing on April 20, 2023 at 11:00 AM confirmed that Resident 4 currently had
