Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on review of facility policies, review of clinical records, observations, and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to maintain the dignity of one of 42 residents reviewed (Resident 102) who
had an indwelling urinary catheter.Findings include: A facility policy for considerate and respectful
treatment, dated June 19, 2025, indicated that staff will refrain from practices that are demeaning to
patients, such as keeping urinary catheter bags uncovered. Physician's orders for Resident 102, dated
August 29, 2025, included an order for staff to place a foley catheter (flexible catheter used to drain urine
from the bladder into a drainage collection bag) for urinary drainage. Observations of Resident 102 on
September 2, 2025, at 11:37 a.m. revealed the resident was lying in bed with her urinary drainage bag
hooked to the side of his bed visible from the door. It was not covered, and yellow urine was visible in the
bag. Interview with Registered Nurse 1 on September 2, 2025, at 11:37 a.m. confirmed that Residents 102
did not have a privacy cover on her urinary catheter bag. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on
September 2, 2025, at 1:03 p.m. revealed that all urinary drainage bags should have privacy covers on
them per the facility policy. 28 Pa. Code 201.29(c) Resident Rights.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on review of policies, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment for one of 42 residents reviewed (Resident 66). Finding
include:The facility's policy regarding resident's rights, dated June 19, 2025, indicated that the facility was to
provide a clean comfortable and homelike environment. A quarterly Minimum data Set (MDS) assessment
(a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 66, dated August 8, 2025,
revealed that the resident was cognitively intact and had diagnoses that included congestive obstructive
pulmonary disease (a lung disease that makes it difficult to breath) and diabetes. Observations on
September 1, 2025, at 10:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., September 2, 2025 at 1:30 p.m., September 3, at 11:50
a.m. and September 4, 2025, at 8:24 a.m., revealed that the resident was in his room lying on his bed
facing the television. It was noted that the wall directly behind his bed, that was visible when you walked
into his room, had approximately 20 black and white gouges in the drywall. These gouges varied in length
from approximately eight to 22 inches long and covered an area that measured approximately 30 inches
wide.Interview with the Director of Maintenance on September 5, 2025, at 8:24 a.m. revealed that he was
not aware of the markings in the drywall in Resident 66's room. He indicated that the previous headboards
in that room had bolts on the back of them, and when staff moved the bed up and down it apparently
gouged the wall. He indicated that the drywall should not be in such poor condition, and that he will be
covering the area with a textured recycled plastic.Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 5,
2025, at 8:53 a.m. confirmed that the drywall behind Resident 66's bed should be free of discoloration,
scratches and gouges, and it was not. 28 Pa. Code 201.29(j) Resident Rights.28 Pa. Code 207.2(a)

ability to function.
Based on review of clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
ensure that residents were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications for two of 42 residents
reviewed (Resident 39, Resident 40).Findings include: The facility's policy regarding psychotropic
medications (any medication that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior),
dated June 19, 2025, indicated that residents only receive psychotropic medications when other
nonpharmacological interventions are clinically ineffective. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS)
assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 39, dated June
23, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, usually understood, able to sometimes
understand others, was dependent on staff for care needs, had verbal, physical, and other behaviors, and
had diagnoses that included anxiety and depression. Physician's orders for Resident 39, dated September
10, 2024, included an order for medication monitoring of anti-anxiety medication every shift to monitor for
side effects of medications and documentation of non-pharmacological interventions. Physician's orders for
Resident 39, dated June 22, 2025, included an order for the resident to receive 0.5 milligrams (mg) of
Ativan (a psychotropic medication used to treat anxiety) every four hours as needed for anxiety. Review of
the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 39 for June 2025, July 2025, and August 2025
revealed that the resident was administered 0.5 mg of Ativan on the following dates and times: June 15,
2025, at 12:52 a.m.; June 17, 2025, at 3:28 a.m.; July 13, 2025, at 6: 50 p.m.; August 3, 2025, at 7:12 p.m.;

at 9:47 a.m. There was no documented evidence that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted
prior to administering Ativan on the above stated dates and times. A quarterly MDS assessment for
Resident 40, dated August 28, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, was sometimes
understood, able to sometimes understand others, was dependent on staff for care needs, had verbal,
physical, and other behaviors, and had diagnoses that included non-Alzheimer's Dementia. Physician's
orders for Resident 40, dated May 14, 2025, included an order for medication monitoring of anti-anxiety
medication every shift to monitor for side effects of medications and documentation of non-pharmacological
interventions. Physician's orders for Resident 40, dated December 17, 2024, included an order for the
resident to receive 0.5 milligrams (mg) of Ativan (a psychotropic medication used to treat anxiety) every
eight hours as needed for anxiety. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 40
for July 2025 and August 2025 revealed that the resident was administered 0.5 mg of Ativan on the
following dates and times: July 6, 2025, at 3:35 a.m.; July 7, 2025, at 7:06 p.m.; July 9, 2025, at 6:54 a.m.;
