Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, resident clinical records, investigation documents and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to report injuries of unknown source for three of three residents (Resident
R1, R2, and R3) reviewed.
Findings include:
Review of facility policy Resident Protection from Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment or Exploitation, dated
11/21/24, indicated that nursing homes treat all residents with kindness, respect and in a manner that is at
all times free from any form of abuse, neglect, misappropriation of property, exploitation or mistreatment. To
protect our resident, each home will implement procedures in the areas of screening, training, prevention,
identification, investigation, protection, reporting/response and corrective action. All reports of abuse,
neglect, exploitation or mistreatment including injuries of unknown source, and misappropriation of resident
property will be investigated and documented. The Administrator or Director of Nursing will notify the PA
Department of Health/Long Term Care Division via electronic reporting system (ERS) within 24 hours of the
incident.
Review of Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §483.12(c) states in response to allegations of
abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment, the facility must ensure that all alleged violations involving
abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of
resident property, are reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the
events that cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not later than 24 hours if
the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury, to the
administrator of the facility and to other officials (including to the State Survey Agency and adult protective
services where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in accordance with State law
through established procedures.
Review of the clinical record indicated that Resident R1 was admitted to the facility 9/9/22.
Review of Resident R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 10/22/24,
indicated diagnoses of spinal stenosis (condition characterized by the narrowing of spaces in the spine,
which can compress the spinal cord and nerves), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and generalized muscle
weakness.
Review of Resident R1's clinical progress note dated 1/8/25, indicated Resident R1 was assessed for one
