This survey cited 9 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 (RAI) and staff interview, 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 residents out of 21 sampled (Residents 59, 66, and 24). Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A review of Resident 59's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change, resulting from disease of the brain). A review of Resident 59's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed in Section P0100, Physical Restraints, Resident 59 required a trunk restraint while in a chair documented as Code 1 indicating the device was used less than daily. A review of physician's orders for Resident 59 failed to identify any orders for the resident to have a physical restraint. An interview with the Director of Nursing on September 11, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM revealed the resident has never had any type of physical restraint while residing in the facility. A review of Resident 66's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section N0415 indicated that the resident received an anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication during the 7-day look-back period. A review of Resident 66's clinical record revealed the resident was not prescribed anticoagulant therapy during the month of August 2024. A review of Resident 24's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section N0415 indicated the resident received antipsychotic and anticoagulant medications during the 7-day look-back period. Further review of the MDS Section N0450, Antipsychotic Medication Review, indicated the resident did not receive antipsychotics. A review of Resident 24's clinical record revealed the resident was prescribed an antipsychotic medication during the month of August 2024, and received that medication daily during the 7-day look-back period. Further review of the clinical record revealed the resident did not receive any anticoagulant therapy during the month of August 2024.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on review of clinical records, select facility policy, and resident and staff interviews it was determined the facility failed to maintain an environment free of potential accident hazards during medication administration for one resident of 21 sampled (Resident 39). Findings include: A review of facility policy titled Medication Administration, last reviewed by the facility on November 17, 2023, indicated that for each medication, the medication administration record and the label on the medication container will be checked for the correct name of the resident and medication, time to be administered, strength, and route of administration. If any discrepancies, check with the physician's order and the pharmacy before giving the medication. The policy also indicated that residents may self-administer their own medications unless their attending physician deemed them not capable of doing so. Review of clinical records for Resident 39 revealed admission to the facility on December 17, 2023, with diagnosis to include Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), and glaucoma (an eye condition where the nerve connecting the eye to the brain is damaged, usually due to high eye pressure). A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-standardized assessment completed at specific intervals to identify specific resident care needs) dated August 21, 2024, indicated the resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool to assess cognitive function. A score of 13-15 represents intact cognitive responses). Review of a physician's order dated January 4, 2024, revealed the resident was not to take her own medications or administer eye drops without proper assessment. Do not leave medications at bedside. Review of facility documentation titled Medication Error Report dated July 16, 2024, at 1:24 PM revealed that Resident 39 was administered the wrong medication via the wrong route (the way by which the medication in taken into the body- i.e. oral, intravenously, eye, ear, etc.). The report indicated the resident asked for more applesauce and Employee 1 (licensed practical nurse) placed the resident's medications on the bedside table and stated she would be right back. Resident 39 placed ear drops into her eyes while the nurse was out of the room. The report indicated there was no physician's order for the ear drop medication. Interview with Resident 39 on September 10, 2024, at 12:05 PM confirmed she self-administered drops into her eyes on July 16, 2024. She stated the nurse put down two bottles of drops and left the room for a while. I grabbed the bottle and put it in my eyes. Why she brought the ear drops in to clean my ears is beyond me. Interview with Employee 1 on September 10, 2024, at 1:50 PM revealed that upon entering the resident's room, she placed the eye drop bottles on the residents bedside table tray. While giving Resident 39 her oral medication, the resident requested more applesauce to take with her pills. Employee 1 left the room to get more applesauce from her medication cart and left the eyedrops bottles on the bedside table tray. She reported she told the resident I'll be right back. While at her medication cart a facility employee, with a bleeding hand, approached Employee 1 and asked for assistance.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Employee 1 obtained gauze for the employee and returned to Resident 39's room. Upon re-entering Resident 39's room, the resident told Employee 1 she self-administered the drops into her eyes and then realized they were ear drops. Employee 1 confirmed that resident medications were not to be left at the bedside. She also confirmed that Resident 39 did not have a current order for ear drops and there was no documentation for Resident 39 to self-administer her own medications. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on September 11, 2024, at approximately 9:45 AM, she confirmed that nursing staff are to check the medication label for the correct name of medications before entering the residents room. She confirmed that medications should not be left at the bedside. The facility failed to ensure the residents environment was free of accident hazards. 28 Pa Code 211.12 (c)(d)(5) Nursing services 28 Pa.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of select facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview it was determined the facility failed to monitor the nutritional parameters of a resident with an identified significant weight loss and weight gain for 2 of 21 residents sampled (Resident 25 and Resident 64). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of a facility policy titled Weight Monitoring last reviewed by the facility on November 7, 2023, revealed the unit manager or designee will notify the clinical dietary department of any 5 pound fluctuation in weight within 24 hours. Further the physician and responsible party will be notified. If a fluctuation of 5 pounds or greater is noted, the resident must again be weighed immediately to verify accuracy. A review of Resident 25's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on November 12, 2015, with diagnoses to include dementia (the loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities) and severe protein calorie malnutrition (lack of sufficient nutrients in the body). A review of the resident's weights noted the following: June 13, 2024 - 110.8 lbs. July 3. 2024 - 87.4 lbs. indicating a 23.4 lb. weight loss or 21.1% loss of body weight. The facility failed to reweigh the resident immediately after the resident had a 23.4 pound weight loss. There was no documented evidence the facility had notified the physician and resident representative of the significant weight loss. Review of a dietary note dated July 9, 2024, at 11:11 AM revealed the dietitian noted the resident's significant weight loss and questioned the accuracy of the weight. The dietitian further indicated she requested nursing to do a reweights on the resident three times, but the facility staff failed to do so. There was no new weight available to review. Further review of the resident's weights noted the following: July 11, 2024 - 109.2 lbs. August 8, 2024 - 102.8 lbs. indicating a 6.4 lb. weight loss or 5.9% loss of body weight. The facility failed to reweigh the resident immediately after the resident had a 6.4 pound weight loss.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm diagnoses to include a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ruptured blood vessel causing bleeding inside the brain), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids), and severe protein calorie malnutrition (lack of sufficient nutrients in the body). A review of the resident's weights noted the following: Residents Affected - Few June 26, 2024 - 142.4 lbs. July 11, 2024 - 155.6 lbs. indicating a 13.2 lb. weight gain or 9.27% gain of body weight. The facility failed to reweigh the resident immediately after the resident had a 13.2 pound weight gain. There was no documented evidence the facility had notified the physician and resident representative of the significant weight gain. Review of a dietary note dated July 29, 2024, at 3:26 PM revealed the dietitian noted the resident's significant weight gain. The dietitian indicated she requested nursing to do a reweights on the resident to confirm the current weight change and there was no new weight available to review. A recommendation was made to discontinue Ensure (nutritional supplement) at meals. Further review of the resident's weights noted the following: August 14, 2024 - 156.7 lbs. August 21, 2024 - 184.0 lbs. indicating a 27.3 lb. weight gain or 17.42% gain of body weight. The facility failed to reweigh the resident immediately after the resident had a 27.3 pound weight gain. There was no documented evidence the facility had timely notified the physician and resident representative of the significant weight gain. Interview with the Registered Dietitian on September 12, 2024, at 11:30 AM confirmed the facility failed to timely notify the physician of the resident's significant weight changes and that staff failed to obtain and record Resident 25 and 64's reweights to provide the necessary information to accurately assess the resident's nutritional status and needs and evaluate the adequacy of the resident's nutritional intake and plan nutritional support as necessary. 28 Pa Code 211.5(f)(ix) Medical records 28 Pa.

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 select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to attempt non-pharmacological interventions to alleviate pain prior to the administration of pain medication prescribed on an as needed basis for one out of 21 residents reviewed (Residents 24 ) Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of a facility policy entitled Pain Management Nursing last revised July 2023, indicated that non drug interventions should be tried prior to medication administration and as appropriate in conjunction with medication usage to provide pain relief. Interventions can include positioning, PT/OT (physical therapy/occupational therapy) modalities, relaxation techniques, and diversional activities. A review of Resident 24's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included rheumatoid arthritis (chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints. This results in painful joints, swelling and stiffness in the joints), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production. COPD typically worsens over time), and hypertension (high blood pressure). A review of current physician's orders for Resident 24 revealed an order August 22, 2024, for Oxycodone HCL 5mg every 6 hours as needed (PRN) for moderate to severe pain (pain scale 6-10). A review of Resident 24's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated September 2024, revealed that Oxycodone 5mg was administered on the following dates and times: September 1, 2024, at 7:50 p.m. September 2, 2024, at 8:45 p.m. September 3, 2024, at 3:14 a.m. September 4, 2024, at 10:13 p.m. September 6, 2024, at 12:09 a.m. September 6, 2024, at 6:31 p.m. September 7, 2024, at 9:26 a.m. September 9, 2024, at 9:55 a.m. September 10, 2024, at 12:18 a.m. September 10, 2024, at 8:08 p.m. September 11, 2024, at 10:07 a.m. (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395491 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 16 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395491 B.

F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review, select facility policy, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to adequately indicate the need for an opioid pain medication for one resident out of 13 residents reviewed (Resident 9). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A review of facility policy titled, Pain Management, last revised July 2023, revealed it is facility policy to evaluate and manage pain for all residents. The policy indicates pain management orders should always have parameters using the numerical scale to be given for a pain of Mild 1-3, Moderate 4-6, or Severe 7-10. A clinical record review revealed Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that include unspecified psychosis (a condition that indicates the presence of psychosis but with inadequate information to make the diagnosis of a specific psychotic disorder) and major depressive disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by a persistently low or depressed mood, decreased interest in pleasurable activities, feelings of worthlessness, lack of energy, poor concentration, appetite changes, sleep disturbances, or suicidal thoughts). A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated November 6, 2024, revealed that Resident 9 BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status-a tool to assess cognitive function) is coded as 99 (a score of 99 indicates that the resident was unable to provide or did not provide answers to complete this section). The assessment indicated Resident 9's cognitive skills for daily decision-making are severely impaired. Further review of the clinical record revealed a physician order for Resident 9 to receive morphine sulfate (concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml with direction to give 0.25 ml by mouth every three hours as needed for pain initiated on December 22, 2022. An additional physician's order indicating to administer as needed a dose of morphine. 0.25 ml every three hours as needed. Thursdays prior to bath initiated on December 22, 2022. A medication administration record dated November 2024 revealed Resident 9 was administered morphine sulfate (concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml on the following dates: November 7, 2024, at 5:57 PM for a pain level of 0 out of 10 November 21, 2024, at 4:11 PM for a pain level of 0 out of 10 During an interview on November 27, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was unable to provide documented evidence for the clinical rationale for Resident 9 to receive Morphine Sulfate (concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml on November 7, 2024, or November 21, 2024.
