Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policy, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure
physician orders were consistent in reflecting a resident's elected code status for two of 23 residents
reviewed (Residents 29 and 80).
Findings include:
A review of a facility policy titled Advanced Directives, last reviewed by the facility on [DATE], revealed it is
the facility policy that the resident has the right to formulate an advanced directive, including the right to
accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and advanced directives are honored in accordance with
state law and facility policy. Further review revealed Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment, or
POLST, is a form designed to improve resident care by creating a portable medical order form that records
the resident's treatment wishes so that emergency personnel know what treatments the resident wants in
the event of a medical emergency, taking the resident's current medical condition into consideration.
A review of the clinical record of Resident 29 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses that included dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by
brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning)
and diabetes (a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or
when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces).
A review of Resident 29's current physician orders, revealed an order dated [DATE], in the electronic health
record, and identified the resident's code status as Full Code, indicating CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation) was to be performed in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest (if breathing stops or if the heart
stops beating).
Further review of Resident 29's clinical record revealed a completed and signed POLST dated [DATE]. The
POLST indicated the resident elected DNR status (Do Not Resuscitate, a medical order directing that
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a life-saving procedure performed when the heart or breathing stops, should
not be attempted), with a goal of allowing a natural death.
Following surveyor questions, there was a physician's order dated [DATE], for DNR (Do Not Resuscitate-a
medical order directing that CPR should not be attempted) for Resident 29.
A review of the clinical record of Resident 80 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses that included dementia and urine retention (difficulty urinating and

Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of the facility's abuse prohibition policy, select investigative reports and clinical records, and staff
interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the provision of care and services necessary to
prevent a fall and maintain the physical health of one resident out of 23 residents reviewed (Resident 30).
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy titled Abuse Policy last reviewed by the facility on June 13, 2025, revealed it is
the facility's policy that the resident has the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation or
resident property, and exploitation. The policy defines neglect as the failure of the facility, its employees, or
service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm,
pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress.
A clinical record review revealed that Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included above-the-knee right leg amputation, dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or
persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and
often with personality change, resulting from organic disease of the brain), and cognitive communication
deficit.
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated March 28, 2025, revealed
Resident 30 was severely moderately impaired with a BIMS score of 10 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a
tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and
ability to register and recall new information; a score of 8-12 indicates moderate cognitive impairment).
A physician's order dated May 19, 2025, specified that Resident 30 required assistance from two staff
members, using a two-wheeled walker and gait belt (a safety device used to assist residents with mobility
issues during transfers and ambulation) for all transfers.
The resident's Kardex (a nursing information system used to obtain specific care information for each
resident) also indicated two-person assistance was required for transfers.
Nursing documentation dated May 24, 2025, at 12:00 PM indicated the nurse was notified that Resident 30
had fallen on the floor in the bathroom. Preliminary assessment was completed in the bathroom and no
injuries were noted. Vital signs were obtained. A full head to toe assessment was performed once the
resident was back in bed. Plus (+)1 edema (swelling of an area where pressure forms at the site when
pressed leaving a depth that disappears at a +1) was noted in the left foot and ankle. The resident
complained of pain rated 2/10 (pain rated as one being least amount of pain and ten being the worst
amount of pain) in the left ankle. The resident did not have a previous injury to that ankle. The LPN provided
pain medication. An x-ray of the ankle was ordered and the resident's sister was notified.
A review of a facility investigative report dated May 24, 2025 determined that Employee 2 (nurse aide)
transferred the resident alone, in violation of the physician's order and Kardex instructions

Employee 2 failed to follow the resident's documented transfer status as indicated on the Kardex,
contributing to the fall.
During an interview on July 2, 2025, at approximately 9:30 AM, the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed
the above information indicating that Employee 2 did not follow established protocols for safe transfers,
placing the resident at risk of injury.

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 the
review of the facility's abuse prohibition policy, clinical records, select facility investigations, and staff
interview, it was determined the facility failed to timely report an instance of resident neglect to the State
Survey Agency for one out of the 23 residents reviewed (Resident 30).
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy titled Abuse Policy indicated as last reviewed by the facility on June 13, 2025,
revealed all reports of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of resident property, mistreatment,
and/or injuries of unknown source shall be promptly reported to local, state, and federal agencies. The
policy indicates that the nature of the allegations and the names of the resident(s) and individual(s)
implicated will be reported to the appropriate agencies within five (5) working days of the incident.
A clinical record review revealed that Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included above-the-knee right leg amputation, dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or
persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and
often with personality change, resulting from organic disease of the brain), and cognitive communication

A review of facility policy titled Anticoagulation Clinical Protocol, last reviewed by the facility on June 13,
2025, revealed the physician will prescribe anticoagulation therapy(commonly known as a blood thinner, is
a chemical substance that prevents or reduces the coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time)
appropriately consistent with recognized guidelines and should adjust the anticoagulant dose or stop, taper,
or change medications that interact with the anticoagulant and/or monitor the PT/INR (a blood test that tells
you how long it takes for your blood to clot) very closely while the individual is receiving warfarin (a blood
thinner) to ensure that the PT/INR stabilizes within a therapeutic range.
Further review revealed the physician will order appropriate lab testing to monitor anticoagulant therapy and
potential complications, for example, periodically checking hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and PT/INR.

no evidence that an appointment was made for Resident 80.
A review of a nurse progress note for Resident 80, dated February 19, 2025, revealed that urine was
collected for urinalysis (UA a test of urine used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as
urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes; urinalysis involves checking the appearance,
concentration and content of urine) and culture and sensitivity (C & S-analysis helps find the most effective
antibiotic to kill an infecting microorganism; sensitivity analysis is a test that determines the sensitivity of
bacteria to an antibiotic) via catheter after it was changed, and it was noted that the collected urine was
described as a blood-tinged, milky urine.
A review of Resident 80's clinical record revealed a laboratory result of a UA on February 20, 2025, which
was abnormal due to over 50 white blood cells, over 50 red blood cells, 26-50 bacteria cells, a large amount
of blood, and turbid color (not clear or cloudy) urine.
A review of a nurse's progress note, dated February 20, 2025, revealed the physician was aware of the UA
result and no new orders were noted and was awaiting the culture result.
A review of Resident 80's clinical record revealed a laboratory result of a urine C & S on February 24, 2025,
which was abnormal and showed growth of greater than 100,000 colonies of Proteus vulgaris (type of
bacteria), greater than 100,000 colonies of Morganella morganii (a type of bacteria), and 10,000 to 100,000
colonies of Serratia marcescens (a type of bacteria).
A review of a nurse's progress note for Resident 80, dated February 24, 2025, revealed the physician was

Give their staff education on dementia care, and what abuse, neglect, and exploitation are; and how to
report abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Based on review of select facility policy, employee files, and staff interview it was determined that the facility
failed to timely train one agency employee out of four employees reviewed on the facility's abuse prohibition
policy and procedures. Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Abuse Policy last reviewed by
the facility on June 13, 2025, revealed the facility's abuse prevention program provides training for
mandated staff and others that includes topics such as abuse prevention, identification, and reporting
requirements and to support an environment in which covered individuals report a reasonable suspicion of
a crime, freedom from retaliation or reprisal, stress management, dealing with violent behavior or
catastrophic reactions, etc. training is provided at the time of hire, annually, and as needed. A review of
Employee 1's personnel file, who was employed as an agency licensed practical nurse (LPN) with a
documented start date of November 19, 2022, revealed no evidence that the facility provided the required
training on the facility's abuse prohibition policy prior to Employee 1 (LPN) assuming resident care
responsibilities. Furthermore, there was no documentation to show that Employee 1 received the training
on an annual basis or as needed as required by the facility policy. During an interview conducted on August
26, 2025, at 1:20 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) confirmed that there was no documentation
verifying Employee 1 (LPN) received the required training on the facility's abuse prohibition policy and
procedures either prior to beginning assigned duties or thereafter.28 Pa. Code 201.20(b) Staff development
