Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a
resident's medication regime was free from potentially unnecessary medication for one of five residents
reviewed for medication review (Resident 2). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 2
revealed her medication regime included the use of the antipsychotic medication, Loxapine Succinate, 10
milligrams daily, since her admission on [DATE], for a diagnosis of unspecified schizophrenia (serious
mental health condition that affects how people think, feel and behave. It may result in a mix of
hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking and behavior. Review of progress notes from the
facility's consulting psychiatric provider dated January 10, 2025, January 20, 2025, February 10, 2025, and
April 28, 2025, revealed that Resident 2 had a history of depression for which she took the antidepressant
medication, Fluoxetine, and that, pt (patient) with chronic psych illness, stable on current regimen. No
psychiatric evaluations available in Resident 2's medical record included the diagnosis of schizophrenia or
the use of the antipsychotic medication Loxapine Succinate. Review of the plans of care developed by the
facility for Resident 2's care needs revealed a care plan to address her use of psychotropic medications
related to schizophrenia (initiated January 8, 2025). The plan of care included no target behaviors exhibited
by Resident 2 or monitored by the facility to support an adequate indication for the antipsychotic use.
Review of behavior monitoring recorded on Resident 2's treatment administration records dated May, June,
and July 2025, revealed the only target behavior tracked by the facility was if Resident 2 was, withdrawn.
Interview with Resident 2 on July 18, 2025, at 11:30 AM revealed that she had no recollection of a
practitioner diagnosing her with schizophrenia. Resident 2 stated that she developed deep depression after
the death of her mother more than 30 years ago (when she was in her thirties) for which she received
counseling and started taking an antidepressant. Resident 2 denied ever experiencing delusions,
hallucinations, or disorganized thinking. Interview with Employee 1 (regional director of clinical) on July 17,
2025, at 3:35 PM confirmed that Resident 2's medical record did not contain supporting documentation
regarding the history of Resident 2's schizophrenia diagnosis and that all documentation from the facility's
consulting psychiatric provider only addressed Resident 2's diagnosis of depression. The interview with
Employee 1 on July 18, 2025, at 9:41 AM confirmed that the facility did not monitor individual target
behaviors related to Resident 2's diagnosis of schizophrenia or her use of the antipsychotic medication. 28

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 two of 21 residents
(Residents 11 and 48).Findings Include:
Residents Affected - Few
Clinical record review for Resident 11 revealed a diagnosis list that included atrial fibrillation (an irregular
and sometimes rapid heart rhythm that can lead to complications such as stroke and heart failure).
Review of Resident 11’s current care plan revealed the resident has hypertension (high blood
pressure) and an altered cardiovascular status related to atrial fibrillation.
A review of the current physician orders for Resident 11 revealed an order dated June 25, 2025, for
Metoprolol Succinate ER Extended Release (a medication that is used to treat high blood pressure and/or
heartrate) 100 milligrams (mg) give one tablet by mouth one time a day related to unspecified atrial
fibrillation. Hold for a systolic blood pressure (SBP, the top number of a blood pressure reading where the
heart contracts) less than 100 or apical pulse less than 60 beats per minute.
A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for June and July 2025, for Resident 11 revealed
that the Metoprolol was marked as administered outside of the physician specified parameters for the
following dates:
June 30, the resident’s pulse was documented as 59.
July 1, the resident’s pulse was documented as 58.July 5, the resident’s pulse was
documented as 55.
There was no documentation for Resident 11 to indicate why the medication was administered outside of
the specific stated parameters.
The above information for Resident 11 was reviewed in a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator and
Director of Nursing on July 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM.
A follow-up interview with the Director of Nursing on July 17, 2025, at 1:31 PM indicated there was no
reason why Resident 11’s medication was administered outside of the specific stated parameters on
the above dates.
An observation of Resident 48 on July 15, 2025, at 11:47 AM revealed the resident was in bed with multiple
small bruises on both of her arms, and a bandage on her upper right arm. The resident stated she bruises
very easily and has her whole life. Resident 48 stated anytime she is touched by staff to move her or
slightly bumps her arms she bruises, and the bandage on her upper right arm was covering a skin tear she
recently got during care.
Clinical record review or Resident 48 revealed an active physician’s order dated July 7, 2025, for the
resident to have Geri-sleeves applied to her bilateral upper extremities for skin protection every shift.
Resident 48 did not have Geri-sleeves on during the observation on July 15, 2025, noted above.

A follow up observation of Resident 48 on July 16, 2025, at 9:32 AM revealed the resident was in bed with
no Geri-sleeves applied to her arms. Resident 48 stated, “I got another bruise on my arm last
night.” Resident 48 indicated she has not had any “sleeves” applied to her arm nor
has she refused them for days.
The above information regarding Resident 48 not having Geri-sleeves in place as ordered was reviewed
with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on July 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM.
Observation of Resident 48 on July 17, 2025, at 12:30 PM revealed the resident in bed with white tubi-grips
(elastic tubular bandage) observed on both of her arms collected (slid down) around her wrists. Resident 48
stated, “This is not going to work, these are way too big and just slipped right down to my
wrist.” Concurrent interview with the Director of Nursing indicated facility staff would find something
that fit the resident better.

Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observation, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed
to ensure that a resident received proper treatment and assistive devices to maintain hearing abilities for
one of one resident reviewed for hearing concerns (Resident 36). Findings include: Interview with Resident
36 on July 15, 2025, at 1:19 PM revealed that he had difficulty hearing. Observation of Resident 36
revealed that he utilized a headphone amplifier device that he removed to answer his mobile phone, which
decreased his ability to hear the person on the phone. Resident 36 stated, was just up to the VA (Veterans
Administration), they take care of my hearing. Resident 36 denied knowing the status of his hearing aids.
Clinical record review of nursing documentation dated March 21, 2025, at 10:38 AM revealed that staff
notified Resident 36's daughter that his hearing aid was not working. Staff noted that a filter in the hearing
aid was occluded, and that the battery was corroded. Nursing documentation dated March 24, 2025, at
1:25 PM noted that Resident 36's daughter was aware that Resident 36's hearing aid needed a filter and
service due to battery corrosion. Resident 36's daughter questioned if the facility handled the service and
was told that the facility was unable to, but she was encouraged to call, where the hearing aid came from.
Nursing documentation dated May 15, 2025, at 10:03 AM revealed that Resident 36 had a hearing aid in
his right ear that needed batteries. Nursing documentation dated May 20, 2025, at 7:16 PM revealed that
Resident 36 stated that he was missing his hearing aid, and Resident 36, stated that someone took them to
fix them but I'm not sure what is true. Resident is a poor historian. Nursing documentation dated May 20,
2025, at 8:24 PM revealed that Resident 36 stated that he was at an appointment that day, staff asked him
for his hearing aid, and he left them with office staff. Review of a plan of care initiated by the facility on
March 12, 2025, revealed that Resident 36 had an alteration in his neurological status related to
Alzheimer's dementia (brain disease that results in a decline in mental abilities severe enough to interfere
with daily life). Review of a consultation form dated May 20, 2025, for Resident 36's VA appointment
revealed that Resident 36's left ear was impacted with cerumen (wax), that staff were to implement
treatment for four days with an over-the-counter ear wax treatment solution (Debrox), flush the ear with
warm water, continue medications and therapy, and to follow-up in 12 months with laboratory testing before
his next appointment. The document did not include any information related to Resident 36's hearing aid(s),
and there was no information on the provider's progress note regarding a repair plan for a hearing aid or
that they had possession of the hearing aid(s). Resident 36's clinical record contained no evidence that
facility staff contacted Resident 36's audiology services provider regarding services necessary for Resident
36's hearing deficit or to confirm that the provider took possession of Resident 36's hearing aid(s). Resident
36's clinical record contained no further communication regarding the status of his hearing aid(s). The
surveyor requested information regarding facility staff communication with the VA since Resident 36's May
2025 appointment during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, Director of Nursing, and
Employee 1 (regional director of clinical) on July 16, 2025, at 1:45 PM. Review of an admission MDS
(Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs)
dated March 13, 2025, revealed that Resident 36 had minimal difficulty hearing, and that no hearing aid
was used when completing the assessment. Staff indicated that the facility would proceed to a care plan to
address Resident 36's hearing problem due to his minimal difficulty hearing. Review of a plan of care
initiated by the facility on March 17, 2025, to address Resident 36's potential communication problem
related to a hearing deficit, revealed no intervention that indicated Resident 36 utilized a hearing aid.

Assessment Instrument (RAI) Manual noted that when completing the section (B0200, Hearing) staff were
to ensure that the resident is using their normal hearing appliance if they have one. Hearing devices may
not be as conventional as a hearing aid. Some residents by choice may use hearing amplifiers or a
microphone and headphones as an alternative to hearing aids. Ensure the hearing appliance is operational.
Review of a quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 36 had moderate difficulty
hearing, but that no hearing aid was used when completing the assessment. The facility failed to accurately
complete assessments, develop an individualized plan of care, and coordinate professional audiology
services to assist Resident 36 to maintain his ability to hear. 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(3)(5) Nursing

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure a resident's environment remained free from accident hazards for one of five
residents reviewed for accident hazards (Resident 83). Findings include: Observation of Resident 83's room
on July 16, 2025, at 9:37 AM revealed a countertop wooden block with large scissors and seven knives
visible near his television. Interview with Resident 83 on the date and time of the observation confirmed that
he leaves his room often during the day to go outside or on leaves of absence, and his room door does not
lock. The surveyor reviewed the above concern regarding Resident 83's open storage of knives in his room
during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on July 16, 2025, at
1:45 PM. Clinical record review for Resident 83 revealed documentation by the business office manager
dated July 16, 2025, at 4:55 PM (following the surveyor's questioning) that she and social services staff
went to see Resident 83 regarding the block of knives in his room. Resident 83 was notified that he could
not have the knives, and they were removed from his possession and placed in the Nursing Home
Administrator's office. 483.25(d)(1)(2) Free of Accident Hazards/Supervision/Devices Previously cited

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 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 two of two residents reviewed for
mood and behaviors (Residents 9 and 63).Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 9 revealed a
diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD, a mental and behavioral disorder that develops related
to a terrifying event) since his admission to the facility on November 27, 2023. Review of Resident 9's care
plan revealed that there were no identified triggers (everyday situations that cause a person to
re-experience the traumatic event as if it was reoccurring) or interventions to alleviate individualized
triggers. There was no documented evidence that the facility completed a trauma assessment on Resident
9 regarding his PTSD diagnosis. Review of Resident 63's clinical record revealed that the facility initiated a
diagnosis of PTSD on November 7, 2023. A review of a physician's progress note dated November 7, 2023,
indicated that Resident 63's only two daughters were murdered. Review of Resident 63's plan of care
revealed that the facility did not identify Resident 63's trauma, complete a trauma assessment, or develop a
care plan related to her PTSD to identify triggers or interventions to alleviate them. The facility failed to
identify and care plan triggers that may retraumatize Resident 9 and Resident 63 related to their diagnosis
of PTSD. The above findings were reviewed during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on July
18, 2025, at 12:30 PM for Resident 9 and 63 and confirmed that the DON was aware of Resident 63's
daughters being murdered. 28 Pa Code 211.12 (d)(3)(5) Nursing services

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**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 develop and implement
an individualized person-centered care plan to address dementia and cognitive loss displayed by one of 21
residents reviewed (Resident 7). Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 7 revealed the
resident was admitted on [DATE], with a diagnosis of unspecified dementia (loss of memory, language,
problem-solving, and other thinking abilities that interfere with daily life). A review of Resident 7's admission
minimum data set (MDS, a form completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) assessment
dated [DATE], indicated that facility staff assessed Resident 7 as having a diagnosis of dementia, and a
BIMS (brief interview of mental status) score of three indicating severe cognitive impairment. A review of
Resident 7's plan of care developed by facility staff revealed alteration in cognition, with general basic
interventions such as cueing and reorienting, therapy staff as needed, and lab work as needed. There was
no evidence of any individualized person-centered interventions to address Resident 7's dementia and
cognitive loss, to aid in caring for the resident. The findings were reviewed with the Director of Nursing on

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to store food and maintain food
service equipment in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in the facility's main
kitchen, and two of two nursing unit pantries (Oak/[NAME] and Marble/Maple). Findings include: An
observation in the facility's main kitchen on July 15, 2025, at 9:22 AM revealed the following: Open wire
rack shelving was observed in the walk-in cooler near the beverage station. Multiple wire shelves were
observed rusty with the exterior finish worn off. The lower shelves located six to eight inches from the floor
with food products stored on them contained no barrier from the potential for mop water splash or sweeping
debris from the floor. A black plastic tub was observed on the lower shelf in the same walk-in cooler with
multiple clear plastic bags of unidentified meat. The tub was full of a clear liquid. Employee 6, dietary
manager, indicated the bags contained chicken thighs, which were in a tub of water thawing for the dinner
meal. There was label to indicate what the product was, when it was placed there, or when it needed used
by. A plate warmer located by the meal serving line contained a build of dust, and dried food debris on the
lower corner protective bumpers of the unit. Bulk flour and sugar bins located under a prep table were
soiled on the exteriors with dried brown spills and black smudges. The flooring under the bulk flour and
sugar bins extending under the ovens, cooking equipment, and plastic storage units contained dirt and
debris buildup under the equipment and along wall edges. An observation of the Oak/[NAME] pantry
storage area on July 15, 2025, at 9:43 AM revealed an assorted bin of snacks in the corner cabinet
containing individual packaged cookies. There was no date on the bin/cookies to indicate when they were
placed there or when they needed used by. Review of the temperature monitoring log on the
refrigerator/freezer in the Oak/[NAME] pantry revealed no temperatures were recorded for the refrigerator
or freezer since July 11, 2025. An observation of the Marble/Maple pantry area on July 15, 2025, at 9:46
AM revealed two soiled plastic meal trays stored in the cabinet under the sink, with a package of graham
crackers, soiled plate base, and used plastic lids. The interior base of the cabinet was observed with a large
dried brown liquid spill. The rims of the doors to the cabinet were soiled with black and brown dried spills.
Review of the temperature monitoring log on the refrigerator/freezer in the Marble/Maple pantry revealed no
temperatures were recorded for the refrigerator or freezer since July 11, 2025. The interior of the
refrigerator was observed with ice/frost buildup covering the back of the interior. The interior of the freezer
above the refrigerator was covered in thick ice/frost buildup. The above information was reviewed during an
interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on July 16, 2025, at 2:10 PM. 28 Pa.

Provide bedrooms that don't allow residents to see each other when privacy is needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assure full visual
privacy for one of 32 residents reviewed (Resident 11).Findings include: Observation of Resident 11 in his
room on July 17, 2025, at 9:15 AM revealed that the privacy curtain did not extend around the bottom of the
bed, preventing full visual privacy. Upon entering the room with Employe 5, Licensed Practical Nurse, to
observe a medication pass for Resident 11's roommate, Resident 11 was receiving a brief change.
Employee 5 waited until Resident 11 was no longer exposed before walking past, but he was observed in
bed, uncovered, wearing only a brief and in a state of undress. Further observation revealed that the
curtain was not large enough to extend around the bottom portion of Resident 11's bed. Interview with
Resident 11 on July 17, 2025, at 11:15 AM revealed that the curtain has not extended around the bed since
their admission on [DATE]. The surveyor discussed the above findings with the Director of Nursing on July
