This survey cited 15 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on a review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide a reasonable accommodation of needs by failing to ensure that the call bell was within reach for one of 33 residents reviewed (Resident 27). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 27, dated December 13, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired and required maximum assistance for transfers and toileting. The resident's current care plan indicated that the resident had recent falls, and staff were to ensure the call bell was within reach. The facility's call bell policy, dated November 8, 2024, indicated that the call bell would be within easy reach and secured if needed. Observations of Resident 27 on March 3, 2025, at 10:38 a.m. revealed that the resident was sitting in his wheelchair in the middle of his room with his call bell lying on his bed out of the resident's reach. Interview with Resident 27 at that time revealed that he does not get help when needed because his call bell has been out of reach. Interview with Nurse Aide 1 at that time revealed that Resident 27 was capable of using his call bell and it should have been placed within her reach. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 4, 2025, at 10:25 a.m. confirmed that the call bell should have been within Resident 27's reach. 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(5) Nursing Services.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Based on review of facility policies, clinical records, and investigation documents, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from abuse for one of 33 residents reviewed (Resident 54). Findings include: The facility's policy for abuse, dated November 8, 2024, indicated that the facility will not tolerate abuse, neglect, and exploitation of its residents or the misappropriation of resident property. Abuse was defined as the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Willful meant the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 54, dated February 11, 2025, revealed that the resident was rarely understood, could rarely understand, and had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome. A care plan for Resident 54, dated January 29, 2024, revealed that the resident was at high risk for elopement and had impaired cognitive function.

A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 56, dated November 11, 2024, revealed that the resident was understood and could understand others, and had diagnoses that included dementia. A care plan for Resident 56, dated April 15, 2024, revealed that she exhibited behaviors that included physically abusive attacks on staff and/or other residents, scratching, refusal of care and meals, and yelling and screaming. Interventions for Resident 56 included redirecting residents who were attempting to enter her room because this upsets her. A nursing note for Resident 54, dated August 11, 2024, at 7:23 p.m. revealed that the nurse aide brought Resident 54 to the nurse after the nurse aide witnessed Resident 56 grabbing her by her arm and screaming at her to get out of her room. The licensed practical nurse looked at Resident 54's left inner arm, and there were three fingernail prints on her arm. The facility report, dated August 11, 2024, at 6:50 p.m. indicated that Resident 54 was attempting to get into Resident 56's room. Resident 56 then grabbed Resident 54's arm causing three scratch marks. The nurse aide removed Resident 54 from the room.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of facility policies, clinical record reviews, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident's baseline care plan included information regarding the resident's immediate care needs for one of 33 residents reviewed (Resident 74). Findings include: A facility policy for baseline care plans, dated November 8, 2024, indicated that the facility will develop a baseline care plan within 48 hours of a resident's admission that includes the minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for a resident including, but not limited to, initial goals based on admission orders and physician's orders. Interventions shall be initiated that address the resident's current needs including any special needs such as for intravenous therapy (administration of fluids and/or medications directly into a person's vein). A nursing note for Resident 74, dated February 25, 2025, at 4:23 p.m., revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included a diabetic foot ulcer (a wound to the foot due to a complication of diabetes) and peripheral vascular disease (a disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs). She had a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC - a thin tube inserted into a vein and used long term for the administration of fluids and/or medications) in her right upper arm for maintenance at that time. Physician's orders for Resident 74, dated February 25, 2025, included orders for the staff to maintain the resident's PICC and flush each port every 12 hours with 5 milliliters (ml) of normal saline followed by 5 ml of Heparin (an anticoagulant medication used to keep intravenous catheters open and flowing freely); for the registered nurse to change the PICC dressing, extension set, and cap every seven days on the day shift and as needed for leakage, blockage and/or soilage; and for staff to measure the external catheter length from insertion site to the end of the injection cap in centimeters (cm) on admission, with each dressing change every seven days on the day shift and as needed. Review of Resident 74's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that a baseline care plan was developed to address the resident's PICC and related PICC care. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 5, 2025, at 12:17 p.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that a baseline care plan was developed to address Resident 74's PICC and related PICC care. 28 Pa.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on review of facility policies, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan that included specific and individualized interventions to address the care needs of residents for one of 33 residents reviewed (Resident 29). Findings include: The facility's policy for Comprehensive Care Plans, dated November 8, 2024, indicated that the facility develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs. The comprehensive person-centered care plan is developed within seven days of the completion of the required comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs). The comprehensive care plan will be reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each comprehensive and quarterly MDS assessment. A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 29, dated February 4, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, required assistance with care needs, was receiving hospice services, and had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Physician's orders for Resident 29, dated February 6, 2025, revealed that the resident was admitted to 365 Hospice on February 4, 2025. Review of Resident 29's clinical record revealed that there was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed to address the resident's need for hospice services. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 5, 2025, at 9:31 a.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed to address Resident 29's need for hospice services. 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. Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident's care plan was updated/revised to reflect the resident's specific care needs for two of 33 residents reviewed (Residents 9, 31). Findings include: The facility's policy for Comprehensive Care Plans, dated November 8, 2024, indicated that the facility develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs. The comprehensive person-centered care plan is developed within seven days of the completion of the required comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs). The comprehensive care plan will be reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each comprehensive and quarterly MDS assessment. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 9, dated January 18, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, was rarely understood, and could rarely understand others. A care plan, dated October 13, 2021, revealed that hospice was to be notified if the resident goes into cardiac arrest. Physician's orders for Resident 9, dated July 19, 2024, revealed that the resident was discharged from hospice care. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 5, 2025, at 9:31 a.m. confirmed that the resident was no longer on hospice and her care plan should have been updated to reflect that. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 31, dated January 16, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance with care needs, had no pressure ulcers or wounds, and had diagnoses that included diabetes, peripheral vascular disease (a disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs), and acquired absence of the left leg below the knee. A skin integrity care plan for Resident 31, dated May 9, 2019, included an intervention for a stump shrinker to be worn to shape the amputation site for a possible prosthesis (an artificial body part) and an intervention for contact precautions (used to prevent the spread of infection passed through direct contact with an infected person or their environment) related to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection (type of staph bacteria resistant to many antibiotics making treatment difficult). Review of Resident 31's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that the resident continued to wear a stump shrinker and no documented evidence that the resident had a MRSA infection requiring contact precautions. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 6, 2025, at 9:55 a.m. confirmed that Resident 31's care plan should have been revised to reflect that the stump shrinker was no longer used and that the resident was no longer on contact precautions for MRSA. 28 Pa.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible for one of 33 residents reviewed (Resident 14). Findings include: A facility policy for resident alarms, dated November 8, 2024, indicated that the use of alarms does not eliminate the need for adequate supervision of the resident. Wander/elopement alarms alert staff when the resident nears or exits an area or building. When alarms are utilized, additional monitoring shall be provided, including but not limited to verifying alarms are used in accordance with the resident's care plan and verifying alarms are working properly. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 14, dated November 10, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired, required assistance with care needs, and had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's dementia. A care plan for the resident, dated March 11, 2024, revealed that the resident was a high risk for elopement due to recent exit-seeking behaviors and wandering. Interventions included a wanderguard to reduce the risk of elopement and to check the device for proper functioning per facility protocol. Physician's orders for Resident 14, dated December 4, 2024, included an order for the resident to have a wanderguard in place for safety. A nursing note for Resident 14, dated February 8, 2025, at 9:21 p.m. revealed that the resident had an episode of increased confusion during the first half of the shift and stated she was going home, packing her belongings, and wandering through the hallways. There was no documented evidence in Resident 14's clinical record to indicate that the wanderguard was checked for proper functioning per the facility policy and the resident's plan of care. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 6, 2025, at 11:59 a.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that Resident 14's wanderguard was monitored to verify that it was working properly and it should have been. 28 Pa.
