F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. Based on review of policies, as well as interviews with residents and staff, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents and/or their representatives could file a grievance/concern anonymously by failing to ensure that information on how to file a grievance or complaint was available to residents or their representatives without asking. Findings include: The facility's Grievance Process policy, dated October 11, 2022, indicated that anyone may file a grievance anonymously if they chose to do so. During an interview with a group of residents on September 12, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. the residents indicated that they would like to be able to file a grievance or make a statement about something that interests them on a grievance form and that they would like to remain anonymous in doing so; however, they are not aware of any way to file a grievance without giving it to staff. Interview with the Nursing Home Assistant Administrator on September 14, 2023, at 3:49 p.m. revealed that the facility's grievance forms were located behind each nursing station, and that nurses could give the forms to the residents and that the residents could hand the forms to the nurses in an envelope or they could take them to the Nursing Home Assistant Administrator's office; however, the door to her office is secured with an alarm and staff would be aware of any resident entering that hallway. 28 Pa.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of the Resident Assessment Instrument User's Manual and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to complete accurate Minimum Data Set assessments for three of 49 residents reviewed (Residents 22, 101, 103). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which gives instructions for completing Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments (mandated assessments of a resident's abilities and care needs), dated October 2019, revealed that if the resident had a fall since admission, entry or re-entry, or a prior assessment, then Section J1800 was to be coded (1) Yes, and Section J1900 was to be completed. If the resident had a fall with no injury since admission, entry or re-entry, or a prior assessment then J1900A was to be coded with the number of falls. If the resident had a fall with an injury (skin tears, abrasions, lacerations, superficial bruises, hematoma) since admission, entry or re-entry, or a prior assessment then Section J1900B was to be coded with the number of falls. If the resident had a fall with a major injury (bone fractures, joint dislocations, closed head injuries with altered consciousness, subdural hematoma) since admission, entry or re-entry, or a prior assessment then Section J1900C was to be coded with the number of falls. Nursing notes, dated September 13, 2023, at 10:07 a.m. and 4:43 p.m. revealed that Resident 22 was found lying on the floor in her room. The resident was in her wheelchair and reported that she reached for something on the floor and fell forward. She reported pain to her face, had a 2 centimeter horizontal abrasion and edema (swelling) to her nose, and a CT-scan at the hospital revealed that she had a nasal fracture. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 22, dated November 3, 2022, revealed that Section J1800 was coded zero (0), indicating that the resident did not have a fall since admission, entry or re-entry, or the prior assessment and Section J1900C was coded as (0), indicating that the resident did not have a fall and a fracture. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 14, 2023, at 12:50 p.m. confirmed that Resident 22's fall and fracture on September 13, 2022, was not captured on the quarterly MDS assessment of November 3, 2022, and should have been. The RAI User's Manual, dated October, 2019, revealed that Section O0100 was to be completed with the resident's special treatments, procedures, and programs, and Section O0100C was to be coded for the use of oxygen. Column (1) was to be checked if oxygen was used while not a resident of the facility within the last 14 days, and column (2) was to be checked if oxygen was used while a resident of the facility within the last 14 days. Physician's orders for Resident 101, dated August 24, 2023, included an order for the resident to receive oxygen at 2-5 liters per minute (flow rate) via nasal cannula (tubes that deliver oxygen into the nostrils) to ensure that the oxygen concentration (percentage of oxygen in blood) was greater than 90 percent every shift. The resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2023 indicated that the resident used oxygen daily at 2-5 liters per minute from August 25 through 31, 2023. However, an admission MDS assessment for Resident 101, dated August 31, 2023, revealed that Section O0100C, Column 2 was not checked to indicate that the resident used oxygen during the 14-day assessment period. 395539 Page 3 of 22 395539 09/14/2023 Saint Anne Home 685 Angela Drive Greensburg, PA 15601
F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 14, 2023, at 12:50 p.m. confirmed that Section O0100C, Column 2, was not coded accurately on Resident 101's MDS assessment of August 31, 2023. The RAI User's Manual, dated October 2019, indicated that Section C of the MDS was to be completed for each resident to identify his/her cognitive status. Section C0100 was to be coded No (0) or Yes (1) depending on whether a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) should be attempted with the resident and coded in Sections C0200 through C0500. The instructions for determining if a BIMS interview should be attempted indicated that if the resident was at least sometimes understood (verbally or in writing) then the BIMS interview was to be attempted with the resident. If the resident was rarely/never understood, then the BIMS interview was not to be attempted, and a Staff Assessment of Mental Status was to be completed instead and coded in Sections C0600 through C1000. The RAI User's Manual also indicated that if a resident did not answer a question, or all responses were nonsensical, then the BIMS interview was to be stopped after Section C0300 (day of the week), a dash was to be coded in the remaining sections of the interview, a (99) was to be entered in Section C0500, and then a Staff Assessment of Mental Status was to be completed instead and coded in Sections C0600 through C1000. The RAI User's Manual, dated October 2019, indicated that the intent of Section D (mood) was to address mood distress. Section D0100 was to be coded No (0) if the mood interview should not be conducted because the resident was rarely/never understood and coded Yes (1) if the resident mood interview should be conducted because the resident was able to be understood, and the interview was to be coded in Sections D0200, D0300 and D0350. Section D0500 (staff assessment of mood) was to be completed when a resident could not communicate, refused, or was unable to participate. A significant change MDS for Resident 103, dated August 7, 2023, revealed that the resident was understood and could understand others. However, Section C0100 was coded with a (0), indicating that the BIMS interview was not attempted with the resident. Section D0100 was coded with a dash (0), indicating that the mood interview was not attempted with the resident. Interview with the Social Worker responsible for completing Section C and D on the MDS on September 14, 2023, at 8:52 a.m. confirmed that she inaccurately coded the MDS. 28 Pa.

Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The facility's policy regarding weighing residents, dated October 10, 2022, indicated that the purpose was to determine weight gain or loss, as changes in weight are frequent indicators of the resident's condition. A quarterly admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 111, dated May 5, 2023, revealed that the resident was severly cognitively impaired, had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's and dementia, and required staff to set up her meals. Current care plans indicated that the resident was at potential risk for altered nutritional status related to her dementia diagnosis. Physician's orders for Resident 111, dated January 6, 2023, revealed that the resident was to be weighed weekly. Resident 111's weight records revealed that her weight was taken on January 4, 2023; April 16, 2023; May 14 and 28, 2023; July 9, and 23, 2023; August 6, 2023; and September 11, 2023. Registered Dietician notes, dated January 6, 2023, at 6:20 p.m., indicated that due to recent weight loss and continued inadequate intake, she recommended weekly weights and supplemental protein drinks with breakfast and lunch. Furthermore, she indicated that the resident's diagnosis of Alzheimer's and dementia likely had a negative impact on her food intake. An interview with the Registered Dietician on September 14, 2023, at 1:13 p.m. indicated that she would expect to see weekly weights documented as ordered by the physician. An interview with the Director of Nursing on September 14, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. confirmed that Resident 111 was not weighed according to the physician's order. 28 Pa.
