F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review and staff interview and review of the Resident Assessment Instrument Manual, it was determined the facility failed to transmit Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments to the required electronic system, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (QIES) Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) System, within 14 days of completion for six of 22 residents reviewed (Residents 70, 77, 58, 100, 78, and 47).

A review of Resident 70's quarterly MDS with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of February 20, 2025, revealed that Section Z0500B was not completed or submitted on or before March 8, 2025 (within 14 days of the ARD date) and remained incomplete and not submitted to the QIES ASAP system through survey ending April 18, 2025.

Section Z0500B was not completed or submitted on or before October 11, 2024 (within 14 days of the ARD date) and remained incomplete and not submitted to the QIES ASAP system through survey ending April 18, 2025. A review of Resident 58's quarterly MDS with an ARD of February 25, 2025, revealed that Section Z0500B was not completed or submitted on or before March 10, 2025 (within 14 days of the ARD date) and remained incomplete and not submitted to the QIES ASAP system through survey ending April 18, 2025. A review of Resident 100's clinical record revealed a quarterly MDS assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of February 24, 2025, revealed that Section Z0500B was not completed or submitted on or before March 14, 2025 (within 14 days of the ARD date) and remained incomplete and not submitted to the QIES ASAP system through survey ending April 18, 2025.

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 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 one resident out of 22 sampled (Resident 49). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnosis to include Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), and protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition caused by not getting enough calories or the right amount of protein and nutrients needed for health). Further review of Resident 49's clinical record revealed the resident was currently receiving hospice services (specialized medical service that focuses on comfort and quality of life for people with a terminal illness). A review of Resident 49's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed in Section O, Special Treatments K. Hospice Care, that the resident was not receiving Hospice Care. An interview with the Director of Nursing on April 17, 2025, at 10:40 AM confirmed the resident was receiving Hospice Care during the period reviewed for the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], and the resident's MDS Assessment was inaccurate with respect to Hospice Care. 28 Pa.

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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to review and revise the resident's care plan to reflect a significant change in condition related to weight loss for one of 22 residents sampled (Resident 91). Findings include: Review of the clinical record revealed Resident 91 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities that interfere with daily functioning). A review of the resident's weight history showed that on March 18, 2025, Resident 91 weighed 138.6 pounds. This represented an 8.5% loss of body weight over the prior 90 days. A nutrition progress note dated March 18, 2025, documented the registered dietitian had continued to implement nutritional interventions to address the resident's weight loss. However, review of the resident's care plan revealed the most recent revision was dated December 13, 2023, and stated the resident was at nutritional risk related to kidney disease, hypertension, and a history of weight fluctuations. Upon review during the survey conducted April 15-18, 2025, there was no documented evidence that the resident's care plan had been reviewed or revised to reflect the significant weight loss identified on March 18, 2025. There were no updates to existing interventions or additions of new interventions addressing the change in nutritional status or ongoing monitoring of weight. During an interview conducted on April 17, 2025, at 2:30 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the facility failed to update Resident 91's care plan to reflect the resident's current weight status and associated needs. The Administrator acknowledged that the resident's plan of care should have been reviewed and revised in response to the noted weight loss. 28 Pa. Code 211.11(d) Resident care plan. 28 Pa.
