**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, review of facility policy, investigative documentation, and staff interviews, it was
determined the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an incident involving a resident being left unattended
while at an outside medical appointment to determine whether neglect occurred for one of 22 sampled
residents (Resident 1).Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Abuse Policy last reviewed by
the facility on April 8, 2025, revealed it is the facility's policy that residents have the right to be free from
abuse and neglect. The policy indicated it is the expectation that any allegation of abuse or neglect is to be
reported to the Nursing Home Administrator and other officials. The policy further indicates that an
investigation into the allegation will be initiated immediately and include complete statements and
interviews from staff and residents involved in the allegation within time frames required by federal
regulations. A review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses including dementia (conditions that cause a decline in cognitive abilities, such as
memory, thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving, severe enough to interfere with daily life, and heart
failure (a condition in which the heart does not pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue and difficulty with
daily activities). A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated
standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated August 22, 2025,
revealed that Resident 1 had severely impaired cognition with a BIMS score of 4 (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 0-7 indicates severe cognitive
impairment). A review of the resident's comprehensive person-centered care plan initiated on August 25,
2025, revealed Resident 1 was identified as at risk for elopement (leaving the facility without staff
awareness or supervision). The care plan directed that Resident 1 would not leave the facility unattended.
An interview with Employee 1NA (Nurse Aide) conducted September 24,2025, at 9:39AM, revealed on
September 12, 2025, revealed that on September 12, 2025, she accompanied Resident 1 to an outside
cardiology appointment. Employee 1 stated that after the appointment, she wheeled the resident to a lobby
area, closed the door, and went to use the restroom, leaving the resident unattended. Employee 1 stated
that when she exited the restroom, Resident 1 was no longer in the lobby. She reported she then ran
outside and observed Resident 1 with a [NAME] driver, who was questioning the resident about where her
caregiver was. The interview further revealed that upon return to the facility, Employee 1 verbally reported
the incident to Employee 2, an LPN (licensed practical nurse). Employee 1 stated that Employee 2 provided
her education not to leave residents who were identified as elopement risks unattended at any time. An
interview with Employee 2, conducted on September 24, 2025, at 9:58 AM, confirmed that Employee 1 NA
reported the incident. Employee 2 LPN stated she verbally educated Employee 1NA and wrote a witness
statement, which she provided to Employee 3, an RN (registered nurse) Supervisor. Employee 2 LPN
stated she followed

her chain of command. An interview with Employee 3, RN Supervisor, conducted on September 24, 2025,
at 10:35 AM, confirmed she was the RN Supervisor on duty on September 12, 2025. Employee 3 stated
she was told about the incident by Employee 4, the transportation driver, later that evening at the end of her
working shift around 7:00PM). Employee 3 stated she believed the information was a rumor and did not
report it to the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) or the Director of Nursing (DON). Employee 3 further
stated she was not directly informed by Employee 2 about the incident. An interview with Employee 4
(Transportation Driver) conducted September 24, 2025, at 11:16 AM revealed on September 12, 2025,
Employee 4 arrived at the outside cardiology facility to transport Resident 1 back to her facility. Employee 4
stated upon arrival at the cardiology office he witnessed Resident 1, Employee 1 NA, and the [NAME]
driver outside of the facility. Employee 4 stated the [NAME] driver informed him Resident 1 was witnessed
to be propelling herself out of the facility when the [NAME] driver asked her where she was going. While the
[NAME] driver was questioning the resident, Employee 1 NA came running out of the building to the
resident. The [NAME] driver stated Employee 1 NA was using the restroom when the resident began to
wheel herself out of the facility but was stopped. Employee 4, transportation driver further stated upon
return to the facility he told Employee 3 RN Supervisor about the incident but did not report the information
to the NHA or the DON. An interview with the DON on September 24, 2025, at 11:30 AM, revealed she was
not made aware of the incident involving Resident 1 until the survey team's investigation. Despite staff
interviews and statements, the facility failed to implement its written abuse policy by not ensuring the
incident was reported to administration, by not initiating an immediate investigation, and by not collecting
statements from all parties involved. The failure to investigate whether neglect (defined as the failure to
provide goods and services necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish, or emotional distress)
occurred placed Resident 1 at risk for further neglect, elopement, or harm. 28 Pa. Code 201.14 (a)(c)
