What the inspector wrote

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

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that care plans were updated to reflect changes in residents' care needs for two of 23 residents reviewed (Residents 4, 49). Findings include: The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated February 8, 2024, indicated that the facility would evaluate and re-evaluate a resident's need for service and develop a plan to promote their highest practicable level of functioning as set forth by their Mission Statement as well as State and Federal guidelines. A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 4, dated June 21, 2024, revealed that she was cognitively intact, was dependent on staff for activities of daily living, and had a colostomy (a surgical procedure that brings one end of the large intestine out through the abdominal wall). A care plan for Resident 4, dated June 19, 2024, indicated that the resident was to have her colostomy emptied when the bag is one-third full and to have colostomy care completed by staff. Review of the Treatment Administration Record for Resident 4, dated August and September 2024, revealed no documented evidence that the resident had colostomy care completed by staff or had the colostomy bag emptied when it was one-third full. Interview with Resident 4 on September 4, 2024, at 2:09 p.m. revealed that the resident does all the care for her colostomy herself, and that she will also empty and change the bag as needed. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1 on September 4, 2024, at 9:49 a.m. confirmed that Resident 4 does all care for the colostomy herself, including changing and emptying the bag. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 4, 2024, at 2:34 p.m. revealed that Resident 4 was no longer requiring help from staff for her colostomy care, including changing and emptying her bag, and that her care plan should have been revised to reflect that. A significant change MDS assessment Resident 49, dated June 2, 2024, revealed that she was cognitively intact, was dependent on staff for activities of daily living, and had diagnoses that included having a heart failure, atrial fibrillation. (irregular heartbeat), and high blood pressure. A care plan for Resident 49, dated July 25, 2024, indicated that the resident was receiving Digoxin therapy for a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician's orders were obtained for the care and to maintain the patency of an intravenous access device for one of 23 residents reviewed (Resident 4). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's policy for intravenous device care, dated February 8, 2024, indicated that orders for flushing and care of intravenous device will be obtained to maintain device and prevent obstruction. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 4, dated June 21, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact and required assistance from staff for his daily care needs. A nurse's note for Resident 4, dated July 24, 2024, at 7:53 p.m., revealed that the right port flush was completed and had a good blood return. The next port flush will be in three months. Observations on September 3, 2024, at 11:48 a.m. revealed that Resident 4 had a Mediport (intravenous access device that allows for long-term intravenous (IV) treatments and blood draws) in her right chest area. There was no documented evidence in Resident 4's clinical record to indicate that a physician's order was obtained for the care and maintenance of the Mediport per the facility's policy. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 4, 2023, at 12:07 p.m. confirmed that a physician's order for a port flush to be completed every three months was not obtained and should have been. 28 Pa.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician's orders were followed for one of 23 residents reviewed (Resident 38). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A facility policy for hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dated February 8, 2024, revealed that if a resident had a blood glucose (sugar) reading of 350 mg/dL or greater, the physician would be notified. If the blood glucose was less than 70 mg/dL and the resident was able to swallow without symptoms, offer three to four glucose tablets or four to five saltine crackers and may repeat in 15 minutes if glucose remains low. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 38, dated June 21, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, was dependent on staff for daily care needs, and received insulin (medication that lowers blood sugar levels). Physician's orders for Resident 38, dated February 2, 2023, included an order for the resident to have her blood sugar checked four times a day and to notify the doctor if her blood sugar is above 350 mg/dL. Resident 38's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for July and August 2024 revealed that on July 11, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. the resident's blood sugar was 360 mg/dL; on August 15, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. it was 371 mg/dL; and on August 17, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. it was 361 mg/dL.
