What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 16 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records and select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to demonstrate that it had ascertained if a resident had an advance directive upon admission and whether the resident would like information to formulate an advance directive for three of 13 sampled residents (Residents 2, 13, and 21). The findings include: Review of facility's Advance Directives policy last reviewed by the facility October 20, 2023, indicated that an advance directive is a written instruction such as a living will or durable power of attorney for healthcare, recognized under state law, relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated. The document expresses wishes about treatment preferences and the designation of a surrogate if the patient is incapacitated. The facility process includes that the social worker will meet with the resident/family upon admission, quarterly, annually, and as needed to review (advance directives). A review of Pennsylvania Statute Title 20: Chapter 54: Healthcare revealed that an advance health care directive is a health care power of attorney, a living will, or a written combination of a health care power of attorney and a living will. A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included diabetes and depression. Review of Resident 2's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated standardized assessment process completed periodically to plan resident care) dated February 16, 2024, revealed that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired with a BIMS (brief interview mental screening tool used to screen and identify cognitive impairment) score of 12 (8 to 12 indicates moderate cognitive impairment). Resident 2's clinical record revealed a Pennsylvania Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST- The POLST is not intended to replace an advance health care directive document or other medical orders. The POLST process and health care decision-making works best when the person has appointed a health care agent to speak for them when they become unable to speak for themselves. A health care agent can only be appointed through an advance health care directive or a health care power of attorney), but no documented evidence of an Advance Directive or if the facility asked the resident if he would like information to formulate an advance directive. (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.

There was no documented evidence that the facility determined if the resident had or did not have an Advance Directive or Healthcare Power of Attorney. A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included seizures and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Review of Resident 13's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated standardized assessment process completed periodically to plan resident care) dated February 6, 2024, revealed that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired with a BIMS (brief interview mental screening tool used to screen and identify cognitive impairment) score of 12 (8 to 12 indicates moderate cognitive impairment). Resident 13's clinical record revealed a Pennsylvania Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment but no documented evidence of an Advance Directive or if the facility asked the resident if he would like information to formulate an advance directive.

A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated January 26, 2024 revealed that Resident 21 is cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information; a score of 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). Further review of Resident 21's clinical record revealed an admission notice packet dated December 23, 2021, indicating that advance directive information was provided but did not indicate if the facility asked the resident if he would like to formulate an advance directive. A clinical record review failed to reveal evidence of an advance directive or if the facility asked the resident if he would like information to formulate an advance directive. There was no documented evidence that the facility determined if the resident had or did not have an advance directive or durable healthcare power of attorney. An interview with the social services director (SSD) on February 28, 2024, at 1:00 PM confirmed there was no documented evidence to indicate that the facility had determined if Residents 2, 13, and 21 had or did not have an advance directive upon admission to the facility.

Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the facility Resident Weights policy last reviewed October 20, 2023, indicated that weights must be obtained routinely to monitor the parameters of nutrition over time, and identify residents at risk for significant weight change. Upon admission/readmission, the resident will be weighed each day for two days. The first weight will be within 24 hours of admission or readmission. After admission weights are obtained, the individual will be weighed weekly for four weeks. After the first 4 weeks, the interdisciplinary team will determine the need for continuation of weekly weights or a change to monthly weights. All weights will be transcribed (including weekly and any reweigh) in the resident's electronic medical record. Review of the facility Nutrition Management policy last reviewed October 20, 2023, indicated that based on a resident's comprehensive assessment, the facility will ensure that a resident: maintains acceptable parameters of nutritional status, such as body weight and protein levels, unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrates that this is not possible; receives a therapeutic diet when there is a nutritional problem. In evaluating weight loss, the dietitian will consider the resident's usual weight through adult life, and the potential for weight loss related to any medical conditions. It should be noted if the resident was on a calorie-restricted diet prior to admission. Location and degree of any present edema should be noted. A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses, which included diabetes, esophagitis, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and depression.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, review of the facility's infection control tracking logs and policy, and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to maintain a comprehensive program to monitor the development and spread of infections within the facility and plan preventative measures accordingly and failed to ensure the consistent implementation of infection control procedures designed to prevent the potential for the spread of infection during the medication administration for two out of two medication carts (North and South). Residents Affected - Many Findings include: A review of the facility's infection control policy, last reviewed October 20, 2023, provided by the facility during the survey of February 29, 2024, revealed that the facility will maintain an infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection. The facility assures that there is an infection control program that is effective for investigation, controlling and preventing infections. This facility will assign an infection control coordinator to collect data, monitor and analyze and make recommendations. This data will be submitted to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee. Ongoing monitoring for occurrence of infections for all residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement based upon the facility assessment. Implementation of Control Measures and Precautions include basics such as cleaning and hand hygiene, as well as Standard and Transmission Based Precautions. At the time of review of the facility's infection control program on February 29, 2024, at 11:00 AM the facility was unable to provide the facility's infection control tracking for prior months and the current month. There was no documented evidence of facility infection control data and infection control tracking which reflected a current functioning tracking system to monitor and investigate causes of infection and manner of spread. There was no documented evidence of a system, which enabled the facility to analyze clusters, changes in prevalent organisms, or increases in the rate of infection in a timely manner. There was no documented evidence of detailed data collection that could be used by the facility to track infections and to identify any potential trends contained in the tracking data. There was no documented evidence at the time of the survey that based on the available tracking data that the facility had identified any possible trends to implement specific interventions to prevent the spread of any of the infections. It could not be determined if the facility determined which infections required the implementation of isolation protocols, required treatment, the specific room location, location acquired, infectious organism or antibiotic therapy. There was no indication that the facility was compiling data and evaluating the data to determine what could be done to prevent the spread or recurrence of infection. The facility failed to include the necessary details to conduct routine, ongoing, and systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of surveillance data to identify infections [i.e., healthcare associated infection (HAI) and community-acquired), infection risks, communicable disease outbreaks, and to maintain or improve resident health status and to track staff for adherence to infection control policies and procedures and the potential need for corrective action.
