What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 26 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through support of resident choice. Based on observations and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents could make choices about aspects of their lives that were significant to them, such as rising for the day, for one of four residents reviewed (Resident 108). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 108 revealed an initial MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs) dated May 26, 2024, that indicated Resident 108 believed that it was very important to care for her personal belongings, choose between a bed bath, shower, or a sponge bath, choose the clothes to wear, to have snacks available between meals, and choose a bedtime, and have a family member or close friend involved in care discussion(s). Interview with Resident 108 on November 19, 2024, at 10:41 AM revealed that she preferred to get up at 7:00 AM and go to bed between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM. She revealed that there were some days when she was still in bed at 12:00 PM and did not get to bed until 9:00 PM or 9:30 PM, due to late supper meal delivery (7:00 PM) most nights. Observation on November 20, 2024, at 10:40 AM revealed that Resident 108 was still in bed. She again reiterated her preference of getting up for the day between 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM. The surveyor reviewed the information for Resident 108 during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on November 20, 2024, at 1:45 PM. 28 Pa Code: 201.29(a) Resident rights Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to establish clear advance directives for one of five residents reviewed (Resident 15). Findings include: A review of the census for Resident 15 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Current physician orders for Resident 15 revealed an order dated [DATE], that indicated the resident was a Full Code (attempt resuscitation and CPR when the person has no pulse and is not breathing). Nursing documentation for Resident 15 dated [DATE], at 1:19 PM revealed the resident is a full code. Facility documentation titled, Code Status for Resident 15 and dated [DATE], indicated the resident was marked with a check indicating Do Not Resuscitate (do not attempt CPR when the person has no pulse and is not breathing). The form was signed by Resident 15 and the medical provider and dated [DATE], by both. The above discrepancy between the resident's signed wishes and the physician order was reviewed in a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE], at 2:35 PM. Nursing documentation for Resident 15 dated [DATE], at 5:37 PM after speaking with the NHA and DON, revealed, Chart currently listed as full code; however, documentation signed on [DATE], indicates wishes to be DNR. After discussion the resident does wish to be a full code. Further review of the orders for Resident 15 dated [DATE], revealed that staff entered the resident order as a DNR (do not attempt resuscitation and CPR when the person has no pulse and is not breathing). The above information was reviewed again with the NHA and DON on [DATE], at 1:00 PM. 483.10(c)(6)(8)(g)(12)(i)-(v) Request/refuse/discontinue Treatment; Formulate Advance Directive Previously cited deficiency [DATE] 28 Pa.

F 0600 Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to protect a resident's right to be free from physical abuse from another resident that resulted in actual harm with a serious injury of a left femoral neck fracture for one of two residents reviewed for resident-to-resident interactions. (Resident 399 [Resident 90], Unit 1 East). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other mental functions related to brain cell connections and the cells degenerate and die). Clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a progress note dated October 24, 2024, at 2:02 PM that indicated a nurse aide witnessed Resident 399 get kicked in the right side and she was threatened by Resident 90. Resident 399 was immediately removed from the room to the lounge area. Resident 90 was interviewed as to what happened and she indicated that she was defending herself. Further clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a nursing progress note dated October 24, 2024, at 2:43 PM that indicated she was kicked in her right torso by Resident 90. No injuries were noted to the resident, and she denied complaints of pain or discomfort. The note also indicated that Resident 399 had no recollection of the event. Review of the facility's investigation into the Resident-to-Resident event involving Resident 399 and Resident 90, dated October 24, 2024, at 1:35 PM revealed that the two residents were separated, and 15-minute checks were initiated. Review of the 15-minute check monitoring form provided by the facility revealed that they were completed and have been ongoing since the event of October 24, 2024. Review of the witness statement provided by the nurse aide that reported the above noted event revealed that she was walking by Resident 399 and Resident 90's room when she heard screaming. She stopped and went into the room, and she noted Resident 399 was on Resident 90's side of the room confused and stated that she needed help getting her daughter out of the wall because she was stuck. At that time Resident 90 kicked Resident 399 in the right side and said that she was going to kill her if she didn't leave her alone. The nurse aide provided reassurance to Resident 399 as she led her out of the room. The nurse aide also indicated in her statement that Resident 90 continued to kick at Resident 399 and tell her she was going to kill her if she came back into the room. Further clinical record review for Resident 90 revealed a physician's order dated October 24, 2024, that indicated she was to be one-to-one every shift for monitoring. The order was discontinued on November 9, 2024. When the surveyor requested documentation of the one-to-one monitoring for Resident 90, on November 22, 2024, at 12:30 PM the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) revealed that they had initiated one-to-one on October 24, 2024, but she verbally discontinued it with the RN supervisor later that evening because Resident 90 calmed down. She also indicated that 15-minute checks remained in place and were being completed. Clinical record review for Resident 90 revealed a progress note dated October 25, 2024, at 4:04 PM that indicated Resident 90 was being combative and trying to attack Resident 399 and staff.

F 0600 also indicated that Resident 90 would not get off Resident 399's bed and indicated that Resident 90 was going to slap Resident 399 and break her television. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few A progress note dated October 25, 2024, at 4:41 PM for Resident 90 revealed that she was becoming increasingly physically and verbally aggressive. She hit a staff member in the face and was refusing medications. She was stating that everyone is attempting to poison her. The physician was made aware, and Resident 90 was sent to the emergency room for a psych evaluation and treatment. Resident 90 returned from the emergency room on October 26, 2024, around 5:00 AM, with no new orders. She remained in the same room with Resident 399, upon her return, with the same resident that she kicked two days earlier, and continued to threaten to kill her, slap her, and break her television Clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a progress note date October 27, 2024, at 10:00 PM that indicated she was observed on the floor just inside her room. She complained of left hip pain and was reluctant to straighten her left leg. Her left leg was also noted to be shorter in length. The nurse practitioner was notified and ordered for Resident 399 to go to the emergency room for an evaluation. Further clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a progress note dated October 28, 2024, at 12:39 AM that indicated she was admitted to the hospital with a comminuted intertrochanteric fracture of the left femoral neck (a bone broken in multiple pieces in the area of the femur that connects the ball joint to the shaft of the thigh bone). Review of the facility's investigation into Resident 399's fall revealed a witness statement that indicated the staff member was walking down the hallway and heard Resident 90 say, Bitch, so she went into the room. She noted that Resident 399 was on the floor complaining of pain and Resident 90 was lying in bed. When the witness asked Resident 399 what happened, Resident 90 interjected and stated she picked her up and threw her to the ground because she was attacking her. Resident 90 had no injuries when assessed. Review of the facility reported event dated October 27, 2024, at 9:27 pm revealed that Resident 399 indicated that she was coming out of the bathroom and Resident 90 pushed her and she fell. The event indicated that Resident 90 was unprovoked. Clinical record review for Resident 90 revealed an MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment completed at intervals by the facility to determine care needs) quarterly assessment that revealed Resident 90 had a BIMS (Brief interview for mental status, an assessment to determine a resident's cognitive status) of 13, indicating she was cognitively intact. On October 27, 2024, Resident 399 had a fall in her room and Resident 90 admitted to throwing her to the ground. The actions by Resident 90, resulted in a fracture to Resident 399's left femoral head requiring hospital admission and intervention. The NHA was made aware of the concerns related to resident-to-resident abuse on November 22, 2024, at 2:39 PM and the failure of the facility to initiate further interventions (i.e., a room move, use of outside resources, etc.) to prevent resident-to-resident abuse resulting in a major injury to Resident 399. The facility failed to protect Resident 399's right to be free from physical abuse by another resident resulting in actual harm to Resident 399, of a left femoral neck fracture.

F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review, review of select policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement their abuse policy regarding completion of an investigation of an unknown injury for one of six residents reviewed (Resident 118) and background check screening for one of five newly hired employees (Employee 4 ). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The policy entitled Resident Abuse and Neglect Prevention Program last reviewed on May 28, 2024, indicates that the facility will investigate bruises and/or marks of unknown origin. An incident/accident report will be initiated by the charge nurse and an investigation is initiated to rule out the possibility of abuse. The policy does not indicate how other injuries will be investigated to rule out abuse, such as fractures. The policy indicates to refer to the policy entitled Incident/Accident Investigative Reports. The policy indicates that the facility will conduct a criminal background check on all prospective staff utilizing the State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation if required. The criminal background check will be completed within 30 days for State Police report. The undated policy entitled Investigation of Incidents and Unusual Occurrences was received when this surveyor asked for the policy entitled Incident/Accident Investigative Reports. Review of this policy did not indicate how the facility will investigate injuries of unknown origin to rule out the potential for abuse. Review of Resident 118's clinical record revealed nursing documentation dated October 7, 2024, at 6:35 AM indicating that Resident 118 was complaining of left rib pain. Nursing indicated that Resident 118's doctor would be notified. Nursing documentation dated October 8, 2024, at 6:00 AM indicated that Resident 118 continued with complaints of left rib pain and was requesting an x-ray. Nursing documentation dated October 8, 2024, at 12:25 PM revealed that an order for an x-ray was obtained from Resident 118's physician and that Resident 118 had a previous fall. There was no documented evidence in Resident 118's clinical record to indicate he had fallen prior to this injury. Nursing documentation dated October 8, 2024, at 10:30 PM indicated that Resident 118's x-ray results showed a fracture of his left 10th rib. Interview with the Administrator on November 21, 2024, at 1:22 PM confirmed that Resident 118 did not have any falls prior to October 11, 2024. Interview with the Administrator on November 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM confirmed that the facility did not complete an investigation into Resident 118's fractured rib to rule out the potential for abuse and/or neglect. Review of Employee 4's, licensed practical nurse, employee file reveled the facility hired Employee 4 on September 9, 2024. Employee 4 worked at the facility through October 18, 2024.

Based on review of facility documentation, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to identify the potential for, ensure a complete and thorough investigation of, and to ensure timely reporting of an incident involving the potential for neglect for one of 29 residents reviewed (Resident 65) Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 65 revealed nursing documentation dated November 7, 2024, at 2:19 PM that indicated that staff was notified at 11:00 AM by Resident 65 that she had a fall. Resident 65 revealed that the fall occurred prior to the change of shift. She noted that she requested to be changed (receive incontinence care). The (nurse) aide came in and when I rolled to by side, I rolled out of the bed and landed on my knees. The (nurse) aide went and got another aide and helped me back into bed. Staff noted that Resident 65 was capable and sustained two small abrasions on both of Resident 65's knees and a scratch on her right elbow. Review of Resident 65's care plan revealed that on June 17, 2024, the facility implemented that the resident required two (staff) assist to reposition and turn in bed. Review of a facility's investigation dated October 7, 2024, confirmed the nursing documentation; however, failed to identify the staff member who rolled Resident 65 out of bed, failed to identify that Resident 65 needed to have two staff with bed mobility, and failed to report this potential for neglect to the appropriate state and local agencies. Review of Employee 9's, nurse aide, statement dated October 7, 2024, revealed that a (unidentified) nurse aide came to her office regarding the above noted incident with Resident 65. The nurse aide revealed that Resident 65 was crying and requested that Employee 9 go see Resident 65. The nurse aide noted that they rolled her out of bed, just put her back in bed, and she hurt all over. Employee 9 visited Resident 65 confirmed her statement noted in the nursing documentation stating the nurse aide was a little annoyed and rolled her right out of bed onto the floor, went out of the room, and returned with another aide. They lowered the bed, and it took several attempts to get her back into bed. Employee 9 reported this information to the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), (prior) Director of Nursing (DON), and Assistant Director of Nursing. Review of Employee 10's, nurse aide, statement received November 22, 2024, via a telephone call with the NHA, Employee 9, and the DON, revealed that a nurse aide had requested her help that night to get Resident 65 back to bed as Resident 65's bottom half had slid off the bed. Employee 10 assisted the nurse aide to get Resident 65 back into bed, noting, I did not realize she (the nurse aide) had not told anyone else (i.e., nursing staff). There were no statements available from the nurse aide who rolled Resident 65 out of bed, no documentation that the facility identified the potential for neglect, and that the facility notified the appropriate State and Local agencies regarding the incident and potential for neglect.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the highest practicable care regarding physician ordered treatments and medications for three of 29 residents reviewed (Residents 52, 131, and 300). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 131 revealed a diagnosis list that included sepsis (a systemic response to infection) and resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs. Observation of Resident 131 on November 20, 2024, at 11:00 AM revealed the resident was sitting in a wheelchair at the foot of the bed. The resident had a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter; a thin, soft, flexible tube inserted through a vein in the arm and passed through to the larger veins near the heart for the administration of fluids or medication) in the left arm. Current physician orders for Resident 131 revealed an order dated November 19, 2024, that noted the resident was to receive Meropenem (an antibiotic) two grams intravenously every eight hours for sepsis related to a thigh abscess (a tender mass filled with pus caused due to infection). Review of the November 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 131 revealed that staff had not documented the resident as having received the medication as ordered, refused the medication, or was not available for administration on the following dates/times: The 5:00 AM dose of the antibiotic on November 4, 7, 8, and 16. The 1:00 PM dose of the antibiotic on November 14, 17, and 18. The 9:00 PM dose of the antibiotic on November 15. Further review of the clinical record for Resident 131 revealed an order dated November 10, 2024, that instructed staff to change the PICC line dressing every day shift every Sunday. Review of the current care plan for Resident 131 revealed the resident has a potential for complications at the intravenous (IV) insertion site, which also included care for a dislodged PICC line (cleanse site and place a dry dressing, inspect tubing for breakage, measure the total length compared to the insertion notes and if not whole notify the physician and send the resident to the emergency room for evaluation). The care plan for Resident 131 did not contain anything related to further assessment of possible complications related to the PICC line (such as extremity edema, infection, and/or catheter migration). The above information was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on November 22, 2024, at 1:00 PM. Clinical record review for Resident 300 revealed the resident was ordered inner cannula (a tube that fits inside a tracheostomy) changes daily to his tracheostomy (a hole in the front of the neck into the windpipe) since October 17, 2024.

Review of Resident 73's oxygen monitoring documentation for October and November 2024, revealed there was no documentation that staff monitored Resident 73's oxygen level on the following dates: October 6, 7, 24, 25, and 31, 2024, day shift October 5, 2024, evening shift November 6, 18, and 19, 2024, day shift There was documentation that staff monitored Resident 73's oxygen level on November 20 and 21, 2024, day shift, however this surveyor observed Resident 73's oxygen administration level above the physician's ordered level both days. The surveyor reviewed the above information for Resident 73 during observation and interview with the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator on November 21, 2024, at 2:39 PM. Observations on the Second Floor [NAME] Nursing Unit on November 19, 2024, at 9:32 AM and 10:53 AM revealed a wheelchair in the main resident hallway with a nasal cannula attached to a portable oxygen cylinder. The nasal cannula was unprotected from contamination and draped over the back of the wheelchair and coiled on the seat. The nasal cannula was not labeled or dated. The wheelchair did not have a resident name tag on it. An interview with Employee 1, licensed practical nurse, on November 19, 2024, at 10:57 AM revealed it was unclear who the nasal cannula belonged to and she unsure how the nasal cannula should be stored and protected from contamination. An interview with Employee 6, nurse aide, on November 19, 2024, at 11:05 AM revealed that the wheelchair and nasal cannula belonged to Resident 122. Employee 6 proceeded to remove the nasal cannula.

F 0699 Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to identify triggers related to a resident's diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, to provide culturally, competent, trauma-informed care, and to eliminate or mitigate re-traumatization for one of four residents reviewed for mood/behavior (Resident 22). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 22 on November 2, 2015, with a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD, a mental and behavioral disorder that develops related to a terrifying event). Review of Resident 22's annual MDS (Minimum Data Set Assessment, an assessment completed at least quarterly by the facility to determine the care needs of the resident) dated June 15, 2024, revealed that she had an active diagnosis of PTSD. Interview with Resident 22 on November 19, 2024, at 12:10 PM revealed that she has a diagnosis of PTSD and that she is triggered by people arguing and fighting, screaming, and doors slamming. She also indicated that she would pick at her fingernail beds and gets very anxious when she is triggered. Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed no evidence that the facility identified Resident 22's history of trauma. A review of Resident 22's care plan revealed there were no identified triggers (everyday situations that cause a person to re-experience the traumatic event as if it was reoccurring). Resident 22's clinical record contained no evidence the facility collaborated with the resident, and as appropriate, the resident's family, friends, and any other healthcare professionals (such as psychologists, and mental health professionals) to develop and implement individualized interventions.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement appropriate enhanced barrier transmission-based precautions for three of 29 residents reviewed (Residents 52, 83, and 131). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the memo entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP, gown and glove use) in Nursing Homes to Prevent the Spread of Multi-drug Resistant Organisms released by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) on March 20, 2024, with an implementation date of April 1, 2024, revealed that nursing care facilities are to use EBP for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices (i.e., indwelling urinary catheters) during high-contact resident care activities regardless of their multidrug-resistant organism status. High-contact activity would include things like dressing, transferring, changing linens, providing hygiene, changing briefs, wound care, or device care. Review of the facility policy titled, Infection Control Plan 2024, last reviewed without changes on September 20, 2023, revealed a policy statement that noted an infection control plan is established and maintained to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents and staff to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections within the facility. A section of the policy noted enhanced barrier precautions are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of MDROs through gown and glove use by healthcare providers in long-term care settings. EBP recommended during high contact care (such as dressing, bathing, transferring, changing briefs, or assisting with toileting, device care, wound care, etc.) activities with residents who are at a higher risk of acquiring or spreading an MDRO (such as residents with indwelling medical devices or wounds). EBP should be followed when contact precautions do not otherwise apply for residents with any of the following: open wounds requiring a dressing change, indwelling medical devices (central line, urinary catheter, feeding tubes, tracheostomy/ventilator) regardless of the MDRO status. Clinical record review for Resident 131 revealed a diagnosis list that included sepsis (a systemic response to infection) and resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs. Current physician orders for Resident 131 revealed an order dated November 19, 2024, that noted the resident was to receive Meropenem (an antibiotic) two grams intravenously every eight hours for sepsis related to a thigh abscess (a tender mass filled with pus caused due to infection). Another order dated November 10, 2024, instructed staff to change the PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter; a thin, soft, flexible tube inserted through a vein in the arm and passed through to the larger veins near the heart for the administration of fluids or medication) dressing every day shift every Sunday. Observation of Resident 131 on November 20, 2024, at 11:00 AM revealed the resident was sitting in a wheelchair at the foot of the bed. The resident had a PICC in the left arm. There was no observed EBPs in place or evidence of EBPs being utilized (signage indicating EBPs, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gowns/gloves, or totes/bins containing PPE). Clinical record review for Resident 131 revealed no further evidence the resident was on any isolation or EBPs.
