F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through support of resident choice. Based on observation and resident and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to accommodate a resident's choice to attend desired activities, scheduled religious services, for two of six residents reviewed (Resident 12 and 17). Findings include: During an interview with Resident 12, who resides on the second floor, on September 13, 2023, at approximately 10:30 AM, the resident expressed concern and sadness over not being permitted to attend religious services. Resident 12 stated that since the beginning of this month, September 2023, he has not been allowed to attend church service, or any activities on the first floor, due to three residents testing positive for COVID 19 on the second floor where the resident resides. During an interview with Resident 17, who resides on the second floor, on September 13, 2023, at 10:47 AM, the resident reported he was not permitted to leave the second floor to attend church services as he desired. The resident further stated that he was permitted to leave the second floor to smoke, however. Observation of the second floor of the facility on September 12, 2023, and September 13, 2023, revealed that all residents on the second floor were confined to the second floor with the exception of those residents who smoke. Interview with the Activity Director on September 13, 2023, at 11:30 AM confirmed that the dining room and activity room were located on the first floor. The Activities Director verified that weekly church services and hymn sing activities were conducted in the dining room. She also confirmed that both Residents 12 and 17 were regular attendees and active participants in scheduled daily activities, including religious services. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on September 13, 2023, at 12:40 PM confirmed that the residents on the second floor who smoke, were not prevented from leaving the second floor and were able to continue smoking in the designated area on the first-floor patio during a COVID outbreak and confirmed that the facility failed to honor the residents' rights to attend religious services and activities with necessary precautions during a COVID outbreak. 28 Pa.

F 0565 Honor the resident's right to organize and participate in resident/family groups in the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on the minutes from Resident Council meetings and the facility's call bell audits and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to put forth sufficient efforts to promptly resolve continued resident complaints and grievances expressed during Resident Council meetings, including those voiced by nine (9) of nine (10) residents attending a group meeting (Residents 2, 3, 9, 15, 18, 36, 42, 59, and 74). Residents Affected - Some Findings Include: During a group meeting conducted on September 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. with 10 alert and oriented residents, nine residents (Residents 2, 3, 9, 15, 18, 36, 42, 59, and 74) voiced concerns over long waits for staff to respond to their call bells when care and assistance is needed. The resident stated that there have been recent incidents when they have waited over an hour for nursing staff to respond to their call bells. The residents in attendance at this meeting reported voicing their concerns over the past few months during Resident Council meetings and through individual grievances. The residents stated that the issue with the long waits for staff to respond to their requests for assistance via the nurse call bell system has not yet been resolved. A review of the minutes from the Resident Council Meeting held in May 2023, and June 2023, revealed that the residents in attendance at these meetings voiced complaints regarding lengthy waits for staff assistance after activating the call bells. A review of the facility's call bell response report from August 7, 2023, through September 14, 2023, indicated that the facility's audit identified an average response time to answer a call bell was six minutes and forty-one seconds. However, during this period, the report indicated that there were 339 call bell activation-to-response instances that were over 25 minutes, 55 call bell activation-to-response instances over 45 five minutes, and 16 call bell activation-to-response waits that were over an hour. During an interview on September 15, 2023, at approximately 9:15 a.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed during the Resident Council meetings as well as individually complaints residents continue to express complaints and file grievances regarding long waiting periods for staff assistance after activating call bells.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of the facility's abuse prohibition policy, select investigative reports, and clinical records, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility neglected to provide the care and services necessary to avoid physical harm and maintain physical health for one residents out of the 25 sampled (Resident 1) resulting in multiple pressure injuries. Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Resident Abuse & Neglect Prevention Program dated as last revised by the facility in November 2022, revealed that management and staff are jointly and individually responsible to ensure each resident shall be free from abuse, neglect and misappropriation of property. Further policy review revealed that the facilities define neglect as the deprivation by a caretaker of goods or services (failure to provide goods and services) necessary to maintain physical or mental health and avoid physical harm, mental anguish, or mental illness. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include incomplete quadriplegia (severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs) and neurogenic bowel (loss of bowel control due to brain or spinal cord damage). A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS- a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated August 18, 2023, indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on facility staff and required the assistance of two staff members for bed mobility (how resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed) and toilet use (how resident uses the toilet room, commode, bedpan, or urinal and transfers on or off toilet) and was cognitively intact with Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - a tool to assess cognitive function) score was 15. Resident 1's plan of care in place for activities of daily living (ADLs) dated April 13, 2023 and updated May 22 , 2023, revealed a self-care performance deficit due to quadriplegia, limited physical mobility, and limited range of motion with planned interventions that Resident 42 would continue with the bowel program nightly and continue to use a bedpan. Resident 1's plan of care, dated April 13, 2023, also indicated that the resident was at risk of developing impaired skin integrity due to decreased mobility with planned interventions for staff to turn and reposition the resident every 2 hours while in bed . The care plan was updated July 25, 2023, following an incident during which staff left the resident on the bed pan for an extended period of time, resulting in multiple pressure areas with the planned approach for staff to limit the time this resident can stay on the bed pan. Staff were also to document the removal of his bedpan to prevent prolonged application. During an interview on September 12, 2023, at 10:30 a.m., Resident 1 stated that the planned bowel regimen begins at 10:00 p.m. Staff administer the resident's first enema at 10:00 p.m. and a second enema at 11:00 p.m. After receiving the enema, the resident sits on the bed pan until he has a bowel movement and staff provide care. The resident further explained that on September 9, 2023, after being administered the second enema by an Agency LPN during the 3 PM to 11 PM, the resident stated that I was placed on the bedpan. At 2 A.M. ( September 10, 2023) my bottom was sore because I was left on the bed pan. An 11 P.M. to 7 A.M. nurse came in and took me off the bed pan.

The facility's investigation dated September 10, 2023, included a witness statement from Employee 7, (agency LPN 3 PM to 11 PM shift), indicating that at 10 P.M the first enema was given to the resident then at 10:30 P.M. the second enema was given to the resident. She stated that at 11 P.M. the oncoming LPN was told that the enemas were given to the resident 30 minutes apart and that at the end of her 3 PM to 11 PM shift Resident 1 was still on the bedpan. A review of a witness statement dated September 10, 2023 revealed Employee 9 (LPN 11 PM to 7 AM shift) stated that {Employee 8} (nurse aide) told me that Resident 1 was on the bed pan. However, I remember administering the resident's medications at 12 AM and he never told me he was on the bedpan. I don't recall the 3 PM to 11 PM LPN (Employee 7) telling me that he was still on the bed pan at the end of her shift.

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 staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide nursing services consistent with professional standards of practice by failing to ensure that licensed nurses administered medications as prescribed to one resident of the 19 sampled residents (Resident 20). Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A clinical record review revealed that Resident 20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that include atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm) and hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease (blood pressure that is higher than normal and related heart and kidney organ damage). A physician order, initially dated September 15, 2022, indicated that Resident 20 was to receive Carvedilol Tablet 3.125 mg one tablet by mouth in the morning for hypertension (HTN) and instructions to hold the medication if the resident's systolic blood pressure (the first number indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart contracts) is less than 110 mmHg or if the resident's heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute. According to the resident's Medication Administration Record for September 2023, nursing staff administered Carvedilol Tablet 3.125 mg to the resident on September 11, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. but the resident's systolic blood pressure was 106 mmHg, and below the physician prescribed parameter of 110 mmHg. Nursing staff again administered Carvedilol Tablet 3.125 mg to the resident on September 8, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. and the resident's systolic blood pressure was 100 mmHg The resident's June [DATE] indicated that nursing administered Carvedilol Tablet 3.125 mg to Resident 120 on June 28, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. but the resident's heart rate was 56 beats per minute, and below the physician prescribed paramaters of 60 beats per minute.

Findings include: A review of facility policy titled Bowel, Bladder, and Toileting Program, last reviewed by the facility in October 2022, indicated that the purpose of the policy is to ensure that each resident who is incontinent of urine or bowel is identified, evaluated, and provided appropriate treatment and/or services to achieve or maintain as much normal urinary and bowel function as possible. The policy also indicated that nursing staff will assess the resident's continence status at the time of admission, re-admission, quarterly, and with significant changes in status. A comprehensive urinary and bowel continence assessment will be completed. A clinical record review revealed that Resident 31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include cerebral infarction (brain damage that results from a lack of blood), osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease that occurs when tissues that cushion the ends of bones within the joints break down), and heart failure (a condition that develops when the heart doesn't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs). A comprehensive quarterly continence evaluation of Resident 31 the facility conducted February 2023 and May 2023 but no evidence that the facility conducted a comprehensive quarterly continence evaluation in August 2023. A review of a Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care), dated March 6, 2023, indicated that the resident was frequently incontinent when evaluated for urinary continence over the seven-day look-back period. A review of a Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident remained frequently incontinent when evaluated for urinary continence over the seven-day look-back period. A review of a Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident was now always incontinent when evaluated for urinary continence over the seven-day look-back period. There was no evidence that the facility had acted upon the resident's decline in urinary incontinence identified on the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], and reviewed and revised the resident's care plan for urinary incontinence to include individualized planned measures to restore the resident's urinary continence to the extent practicable. During an interview on September 15, 2023, at approximately 9:15 a.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing and Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility did not act on Resident 31's decline in urinary continence noted on the August 2023 quarterly MDS assessment.

The resident's care plan dated April 3, 2023, revealed an ADL self care deficit related to confusion, dementia and fatigue with planned interventions for the resident to ambulate with assistance of one staff with gait belt, the resident was continent of bowel and bladder and to transfer/ambulate with assist of one with hand held assist and gait belt to the toilet. The MDS assessment noted that the resident was occasionally incontinent of urine, which was not addressed on the resident's care plan A quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed the resident was severely, cognitively impaired, required assistance for activities of daily living including transfers, ambulation and toileting and now continent of bladder. However, a review of the bladder tracking associated with the MDS assessment indicated that this resident had 17 urinary incontinent episodes in the 7 day look back period, indicating that this resident was frequently incontinent. A review of an associated Bladder assessment dated [DATE] revealed that the resident was continent of bowel and bladder based on interviews with the staff due to the resident's severe cognitive impairment. A facility fall investigation report dated September 7, 2023 at 12:35 revealed that Resident 75 was found on the floor of her room. The resident was noted be incontinent at the time of the fall and was last toileted at 8 A.M.

A review of a facility fall investigation report dated September 8, 2023, at 11:03 P.M. revealed that Resident 75 was found sitting on the floor of her room, incontinent of bladder at the time of the fall. There was no documentation of the last time this resident was toileted. The resident had a fall the prior date, September 7, 2023, with contributing factors related to incontinence and toileting needs and an every two hour toileting program was planned, but there was no evidence it had been implemented as the time of the resident's last toileting was not noted on the fall investigation report. An interview conducted September 14, 2023 at 12 P.M., revealed that the Infection Preventionist stated that she completed Resident 75's current bowel and bladder assessment. She confirmed that the resident's bladder assessment and continence status was not consistent with the documented episodes of urinary incontinence. She confirmed that a 2 day bladder diary and an evaluation of the data to determine a plan was not completed for this resident to identify any potential voiding patterns or toileting habits.
