F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, a review of clinical records, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to consistently implement planned care and services consistent with professional standards of practice and the resident's plan of care to prevent the development and worsening of pressure ulcers for two residents out of the 24 sampled residents (Residents 49 and 29). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the pressure ulcer best practice bundle incorporates three critical components in preventing pressure ulcers: comprehensive skin assessment, standardized pressure ulcer risk assessment, and care planning and implementation to address the areas of risk. The American College of Physicians (ACP) is a national organization of internists who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of adults (the ACP is the largest medical-specialty organization and second-largest physician group in the United States). Clinical Practice Guidelines indicate that the treatment of pressure ulcers should involve multiple tactics aimed at alleviating the conditions contributing to ulcer development (i.e., support surfaces, repositioning, and nutritional support); protecting the wound from contamination and creating and maintaining a clean wound environment; promoting tissue healing via local wound applications, debridement, and wound cleansing; using adjunctive therapies; and considering possible surgical repair. A clinical record review revealed that Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of chronic respiratory failure, diabetes mellitus, and heart failure. An Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated October 15, 2023, revealed that Resident 49 is cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (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 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). A physician's order, dated October 11, 2023, was noted for the application of a pressure redistribution device to the resident's chair every day and evening shift when the resident was out of bed. Resident 49's plan of care initiated November 8, 2023, indicated that the resident was at risk for developing pressure ulcers due to a history of ulcers, immobility, and diabetes with planned interventions for turning and repositioning the resident at least every two hours, more often as needed or requested, and putting a pressure-reducing mattress and chair cushion in place. A wound consultant note dated December 14, 2023, at 3:56 PM revealed preventative measure recommendations for ongoing pressure reduction and turning and repositioning, and pressure reduction to the heels. A weekly skin check evaluation, dated December 19, 2023, at 11:01 AM, indicated that Resident 49 had no newly identified alteration in skin integrity.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some recommendations for ongoing pressure reduction and turning and repositioning precautions, including pressure reduction to the heels. A review of facility task tracking from December 21, 2023, through December 26, 2023, revealed that the resident required partial to moderate assistance (staff does less than half the effort) for the resident to roll left and right in bed on 10 shifts and substantial to maximum assistance (staff does more than half the effort) to roll left and right in bed on 6 shifts. Facility turning and repositioning tracking dated from December 21, 2023, through December 26, 2023, revealed no documented evidence that staff turned and repositioned Resident 49 at least every two hours as noted in the resident's plan of care. The turn and reposition task indicated that the frequency of the task was every shift. During an interview on January 7, 2024, at 12:40 PM, Resident 49 stated that staff do not turn or reposition him every two hours. A weekly skin check evaluation, dated December 26, 2023, at 11:21 AM, indicated that Resident 49 had no newly identified alteration in skin integrity. A progress note dated December 26, 2023, at 2:45 PM indicated that during routine podiatry care, pressure areas were observed on Resident 49's feet. A physician phone order was initiated on December 26, 2023, to maintain bilateral heel lift boots at all times, which may be removed for skin checks. The resident's clinical record failed to include any further wound assessment or evaluation of the resident's pressure sores conducted on December 26, 2023, or on December 27, 2023, following podiatry's identification of the new pressure sores on the resident's feet. Wound consultant documentation dated December 28, 2023, at 7:39 AM indicated Resident 49 had two new wounds, a new unstageable pressure ulcer measuring 3.0 cm x 2.0 cm x 0.1 cm on Resident 49's right heel with a scant amount of serosanguineous (yellowish liquid with small amounts of blood). The periwound is intact with erythema (redness of the skin). The wound base has 100% granulation (pink tissue that is an indicator of healing). No odor was present. The second area was a new unstageable pressure ulcer measuring 4.0 cm x 3.5 cm x 0.1 cm on Resident 49's left heel with a scant amount of serosanguineous. The wound base has 100% granulation. No odor was present. An observation on January 10, 2024, at 11:30 AM of the resident's right heel wound, revealed that the area measured 1.0 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.1 cm with soggy tissue, no odor, and a scant amount of clear drainage around the wound. Brown, tan, and yellow stains were observed on the bandage. The resident's left heel wound measured 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.0 cm with dry tissue, no odor, and a scant amount of tan and yellow stains on the bandage. The resident stated he was not experiencing pain related to his heel injuries at the time of the observation. During an interview on January 10, 2024, at approximately 8:30 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was not able to provide documented evidence that facility staff were consistently turning and repositioning the resident at least every two hours according to the resident's plan of care and assuring pressure reduction to the resident's heels to prevent the development of the pressure sores on the resident's heels.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Review of Resident 29's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on March 19, 2021, with diagnoses which included Parkinson's disease, dementia, and heart disease. A review of Resident 29's care plan, last revised March 19, 2021, revealed a problem of risk for skin breakdown as evidenced by decline in self-mobility and decrease in appetite with planned interventions to float resident's heels when in bed as he allows, heel boots and float heels off pillows, pressure re-distribution surface to bed and chair, observe skin condition daily with ADL care and report any changes, provide peri-care/incontinence care as needed and apply barrier cream after each cleansing, shower weekly, and skin prep to right heel every shift. A review of a Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired, dependent on staff for personal hygiene, and required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting hygiene, bathing, and transfers, and was at risk for pressure ulcer development. The resident utilized a wheelchair for mobility and did not ambulate. Review of the clinical record revealed that on December 18, 2023, nursing staff identified an open area to the resident's right heel measuring 2 cm x 2.5 cm. The wound bed was white, and no drainage was noted. Review of Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated December 2023, revealed no evidence that the resident's heels were floated off the pillows per the resident's plan of care to prevent skin break down until December 18, 2023, when the open area was identified. There was no documented evidence in the clinical record that heel boots were implemented for Resident 29, as per his plan of care, dated March 19, 2021. Review of a Skin and Wound note dated December 21, 2023, at 1:53 PM, completed by a consultant wound care physician, indicated that the condition of the resident's wound worsened. The wound care consultant recommended vascular dopplers of the right lower extremity. According to the documentation, the wound was a stage 3 pressure ulcer which now measured 2 cm x 2 cm x 0.1 cm with 1-24% granulation tissue (healthy tissue), and 50-74% slough (yellow/white material in the wound bed, dead skin cells that accumulate in the wound drainage). Interview with the Director of Nursing on January 9, 2024, at approximately 10 AM revealed that Resident 29 had a prior diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease as noted in podiatry documentation dated September 8, 2023, therefore, doppler studies were not performed as recommended by the wound care physician. The facility was unable to provide evidence that doppler studies were performed to confirm the diagnosis of PVD. There was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical record by attending physician that the resident had a diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Review of clinical record revealed that on December 27, 2023, nursing staff identified an open area on the resident's right 2nd toe, which measured 0.5 cm x 1 cm, with slight redness noted. Review of Skin and Wound note dated December 28, 2023, at 8:36 AM, completed by the consultant wound care physician, revealed that the stage 3 right heel pressure ulcer had not shown improvement and the right 2nd toe was identified as an abrasion. Recommendations were to continue with turning and repositioning for pressure prevention, float heels while in bed with use of heel boots, a low (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395566 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 33 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395566 B.

F 0686 air-loss mattress, and vascular dopplers of the right heel wound. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Skin and Wound note dated January 3, 2023, at 9:52 AM, revealed that the resident's heel wound continued to decline and had been reclassified from a stage 3 to unstageable (full-thickness pressure injury in which the base of the wound is obscured by dead tissue) and measured 2.2 cm x 3 cm x 0.2 cm with 50% deep purple tissue and 50% slough. The recommendation were to float the resident's heels while in bed with use of pillows, float heels while out of bed with use of heel boots, turning/repositioning per protocol, obtain an alternating air/low air loss mattress for pressure redistribution and ensure settings are maintained at an appropriate level based on the patient's needs and body habitus. According to the wound care consultant documentation, all prevention measures were discussed with the staff at the time of the visit. Residents Affected - Some Review of the resident's clinical record failed to provide evidence that interventions recommended by the wound care physician were timely and/or consistently implemented to prevent further skin break down and/or prevent worsening of existing wounds. Review of Resident 29's clinical record revealed that on January 7, 2024, nursing staff identified an open area to the resident's sacrum that measured 2 cm x 1.5 cm, wound bed yellow with pink surrounding tissue. Observation of Resident 29 on January 10, 2024, at approximately 10 AM revealed that the resident was in bed, and at that time, there was an alternating air mattress in place. Interview with the Director of Nursing on January 10, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, confirmed that there was no evidence that the facility implemented Resident 29's plan of care for pressure sore prevention and had failed to timely implement the wound care physician recommendations to promote healing and prevent worsening of pressure sores. 28 Pa Code 211.12 (c)(d)(1)(3)(5) Nursing services FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395566 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 33 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395566 B.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on an observation, review of clinical records, select facility policy and fall incident reports, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to consistently implement, and evaluate the effectiveness, of planned individualized fall prevention measures and provide sufficient staff supervision at the level and frequency required, of residents identified as at high risk for falls and known unsafe behaviors to prevent falls resulting in serious injuries, a fractured femur, for one resident (Resident 98) and a fractured neck for one resident (Resident 56), and failed to provide necessary assistance devices and assure that the resident's environment was free of potential accident hazards to prevent a fall and injuries, abrasions and bruises, to one resident (Resident 39) out of nine residents sampled for accidents. Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Managing Falls and Fall Risk, last reviewed by the facility on January 2, 2024, indicated that it is the facility's policy to identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. Also, the policy indicates that if interventions have been successful in preventing falling, staff will continue the interventions or reconsider whether these measures are still needed if a problem that required the intervention has resolved. A clinical record review revealed that Resident 98 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include dementia (a condition characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities) and a history of repeated falls with significant injuries including a fracture of the right femur (thigh bone) and a fracture of the left radius (the radial bone is one of the two large bones of the forearm). Resident 98's care plan, initially dated October 25, 2022, revealed that Resident 98 was at-risk for falls with behaviors that do not allow staff to assist, including swinging at staff during redirection. The resident's care plan also noted the use of both chair and alarms, initiated November 12, 2022 and December 5, 2022, respectively. A Physical Therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE], indicated that Resident 98 required the assistance of one staff member for ambulation. A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated July 27, 2023, revealed that Resident 98 was severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 01 (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). This quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section G0300 Balance during Transition and Walking, indicated that Resident 98 was not steady when moving from a seated to a standing position or when walking and was only able to stabilize with staff assistance.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 39's care plan, last revised February 25, 2020, indicated that the resident was at risk for falls related to a history of falls, non-compliance with transfer status, impaired balance, impaired coordination, weakness, pain, and medication. Planned interventions for prevention included a high-density contour mattress, bilateral fall-[NAME] mats to the bedside, transfer via mechanical lift, keep pathways clear and free of clutter, maintain call bell within reach, and non-skid footwear at all times. According to the care plan, Resident 39 also utilized bilateral bed enablers (side rails) to assist in bed mobility, which was initiated October 7, 2019. Nursing noted on November 24, 2023, at 1:28 PM that the resident was transferred to another room for isolation precautions after testing positive for COVID. Nursing progress notes dated November 28, 2023, at 7 PM indicated that staff found the resident found face down on the floor next to the bed with arm of bed side table underneath right upper leg. The resident sustained abrasions to right upper thigh, the bridge of her nose was swollen with slight bruising, redness and swelling was observed on the left temporal area, and the resident complained of left shoulder pain. An x-ray was ordered due to complaints of left shoulder pain, which was negative for fracture or dislocation. A review of a facility investigation dated November 28, 2023, at 5:45 PM indicated that the resident had an unwitnessed fall from the bed. At time of event, the resident stated that she forgot I didn't have my handrails (side rails on the bed {enablers}). Facility description of potential contributing factors identified that when the resident was moved to another room for isolation, the temporary room's bed had an air mattress versus a high-density contour mattress, no bilateral bed enablers, and fall mats were not in place on each side of the bed. The facility failed to implement the resident's fall prevention measures when the resident was transferred to the temporary room for isolation precautions for COVID. The bed in which the resident was placed had a different type of mattress, no enabler bars and no fall mats were placed on the floor at the bedside. In response to the resident's fall from bed on November 28, 2023, the facility planned the immediate interventions of removing the air mattress and replace it with the appropriate mattress and apply bilateral enablers (side rails on the bed). Interview with the Director of Nursing on January 9, 2024, at approximately 2:00 PM confirmed that the facility failed to implement Resident 39's planned interventions, and assure that the resident's temporary environment was free of potential accident hazards, to prevent the resident's fall with injuries. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 56 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], for short-term therapy after a fall at home during which the resident sustained a hip fracture. The resident had a history of repeated falls and a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

The resident was dependent on renal dialysis (a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally). A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated October 19, 2023, revealed that Resident 14 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13 (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 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). The resident had a physician order dated October 25, 2022, for a regular renal diet (a diet designed to limit sodium, phosphorus and potassium, which becomes increasingly more restrictive as kidney function declines. It starts out with having you limit your salt and the amount of protein you eat. A full renal diet is designed for people who have advanced or end-stage kidney disease and need dialysis or when their kidneys are temporarily damaged and may recover over time). Observation of the resident's lunch tray ticket at the lunch meal on Monday January 8, 2024, revealed that the resident was to receive a regular renal diet. A review of the facility's planned weekly menu (week 4) revealed that the regular diets were to receive Chef's soup, stuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes, 2% milk, fruit juice and 1/2 cup sherbet.

The CDM stated that Resident 14 has refused the renal diet since his admission to the facility. The resident chooses his diet and the kitchen complies with the resident's request. The CDM stated that the facility does not prepare a renal diet. During an interview January 9, 2024 at approximately 10 A.M., the Registered Dietitian confirmed that Resident 14 refused the physician ordered Renal diet that had been prescribed since October 2022.
