**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
facility policy, review of clinical record, observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that care was provided in a manner which maintained resident dignity for one of four
residents (Resident R87). Findings include: Review of facility policy Indwelling Urinary Catheter dated
8/1/25, indicated that clinical staff may provide urinary catheter care. Such care will help to prevent catheter
association urinary tract infections. Check drainage tubing and bag to ensure that the catheter is draining
properly, and no kinks are present. The urinary drainage bag must be placed below the bladder level but not
on the floor. Ensure drainage bag is covered with privacy/dignity bag. Review of the clinical record indicated
Resident R87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R87's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
periodic assessment of care needs) dated 8/20/25, indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, heart
failure (a progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of the heart muscles), and obstructive
uropathy (a blockage in the urinary system that prevents urine from draining normally). Review of Resident
R87's care plan revised on 8/26/25, indicated the resident has an indwelling urinary catheter related to
obstructive uropathy. During an observation on 9/2/25, at 11:37 a.m. Resident R87's catheter draining bag
was observed lying on the floor beside the bed without a privacy cover applied. During an interview on
9/2/25, at 11:51 a.m. Licensed Practical Nurse Employee E1 confirmed Resident R87's catheter draining
bag did not have a privacy cover and that the facility failed to ensure that care was provided in a way that
maintained Resident R87's dignity. Pa. Code: 211.10(d) Resident care policies. Pa. Code: 211.12(d)(1)(5)

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on a review of facility documents, observations, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that the grievance forms were available and that residents had the right to file an
anonymous grievance for two of two nursing units (West Wing, and East Wing). Findings include:A review of
facility document titled Concern Resolution and Grievance Procedure posted on the Main Entrance Hallway
Bulletin Board, indicated that a resident has the right to file grievances orally or in writing, and the right to
file grievances anonymously. Contact the Social Worker, Administrator and /or Grievance Official of the
facility should a resident have any concerns regarding care, treatment, or right. If choosing to report
anonymously, fill out Concern/Grievance Form located near the front desk in the front lobby. Once form is
completed, you can place it in the suggestion box located in the front lobby carpeted area, on the
windowsill. Review of the facility Grievance Log provided at survey entrance revealed that no grievances
were filed during July and August 2025.During an observation on 9/5/25, at in the Front Lobby, and the
Front Desk, no Concern/Grievance forms were located.During an interview on 9/5/25, at 11:28 a.m. the
Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) stated that if a resident wants to file a grievance, they can just ask a
nurse or any of the Department Heads for a Grievance Form. When asked how this allows a resident to file
anonymously, she stated They can just write it on a blank piece of paper. NHA then gestured to a box in the
Front Lobby marked Anonymous Concern and Suggestion and handed State Agency an index card size
form that was located on the outside of this box, that was marked Impact and stated We believe in
recognizing the good work that our dedicated health care professionals do each and every day! If you see a
staff member making and IMPACT, please take a moment to fill out this card. This card did not include any
information about filing a grievance but was to nominate employees for a job well done. NHA stated that
residents could also use this card. NHA confirmed that the Impact card did not include information
regarding filing a grievance, and that grievance forms were not readily available therefore residents could
not file an anonymous grievance. 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a)Responsibility of licensee28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(3)

Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policies, clinical records, facility documents, and staff interviews it was determined that the
facility failed to identify a bolster (a long, thick cushion) as a possible restraint, and failed to assess the
functional status of the individual resident to determine if the use of a bolster is a restraint for two of four
residents (Residents R6 and R7).Findings include:Review of facility policy Restraint Policy dated 8/1/25,
last dated 7/1/24, indicated physical and/or chemical restraints will be initiated only after a comprehensive
review determines that they are necessary to treat the resident's medical symptoms that warrant their use.
Use the Enabler Restraint Observation to determine if the device restricts the resident's freedom of
movement.Before proceeding with the device identified as a restraint, the interdisciplinary team evaluates
factors leading to the consideration of the device, determines that all the resident's needs are being met
and the need to restraint is not due to unmet needs, determines that all alternative measures have been
attempted and found to be unsuccessful, weighs the risks versus benefits of the restraints being
considered, involves resident and family in decision making and educates them regarding risks and
benefits, analyzes all information and decides which devices is most appropriate, and develops measures
to minimize risk and resident decline as a result of use.Physical Restraint is defined as any manual method
or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that
the individual cannot remove easily which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's
body.Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].Review of
Resident R6's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 8/7/25, indicated
diagnoses of high blood pressure, Friedreich ataxia (rare genetic condition that causes progress damage to
the nervous system, affecting movement, balance, and coordination), and malnutrition (lack of sufficient
nutrients in the body).During an observation on 9/2/25, at 10:30 a.m. Resident R6 was observed lying in
bed with bolsters between their body on both sides of the bed.Review of Resident R6's active physician
orders failed to include an order for bilateral bolsters to their bed.Review of Resident R6's care plan dated
4/16/24, indicated the resident has a history of falling. Interventions include bolsters to bed.Review of
Resident R6's clinical record failed to identify any assessments or ongoing evaluations for the use of
bolsters.Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].Review
of Resident R7's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, dementia (a group of
symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with daily life), and arthritis (inflammation of one or
more joints, causing pain and stiffness).During an observation on 9/2/25, at 12:08 p.m. bolsters were
observed on both sides of Resident R7's bed.Review of a physician order dated 7/3/25, indicated to ensure
bed bolsters are on and secure.Review of Resident R7's care plan dated 7/7/25, indicated the resident is at
risk for falling related to weakness, pain, poor safety awareness, psychotropic medication use. Interventions
include bolsters related to fall on 7/3/25.Review of Resident R7's clinical record failed to identify any
assessments or ongoing evaluations for the use of bolsters.During an interview on 9/4/25, at 10:51 a.m. the
Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to identify a bolster as a possible restraint and failed to
assess the functional status of the individual resident to determine if the use of a bolster is a restraint for
two of four residents (Residents R6 and R7).28 Pa. Code: 211.8(e) Use of restraints.28 Pa. Code: 211.10(d)

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, facility policy, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
that residents medication regime was free from unnecessary psychotropic (a mind-altering medication)
medication for one of three residents (Resident R50). Findings include: Review of facility
Psychopharmacological Medication Use dated 8/1/25, indicated the facility should comply with the
Psychopharmacologic Dosage Guidelines created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the
State Operations Manual, and all other applicable law relating to the use of psychopharmacologic
medications. Facility staff should monitor the residents' behaviors. Review of the clinical record indicated
Resident R50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R50's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
periodic assessment of care needs) dated 8/14/25, indicated diagnoses of heart failure (a progressive heart
disease that affects pumping action of the heart muscles), anxiety, and respiratory failure (a condition
where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, leading to insufficient
oxygenation of the body's tissues). Review of Resident R50's physician order dated 8/14/25, indicated to
administer Hydroxyzine (a psychotropic medication used to treat anxiety) 25 milligrams orally twice a day,
as needed (PRN) for anxiety. Review of Resident R50's physician order failed to include a 14 day stop date
and there was no documented rationale by the physician for the medication to extend past 14 days for
Resident R50's Hydroxyzine. Review of Resident R50's Medication Administration Record dated August
2025, indicated that resident received Hydroxyzine PRN four times. Review of Resident R50's Progress
Notes dated August 2025, failed to indicate any behaviors and any non-pharmacological interventions used
to prior to administering Resident R50's Hydroxyzine. During an interview on 9/3/25, at 2:45 p.m. Director of
Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to ensure that residents medication regime was free from
unnecessary psychotropic medication for one of three residents (Resident R50). 28 Pa. Code 211.2(d)(3)

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS-periodic assessment of resident care needs) User's Manual, clinical
record, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to complete a comprehensive
assessment after a significant change in condition for one of three residents reviewed receiving hospice
services (Resident R25).Findings include: Review of the MDS User's Manual revealed that a significant
change in status assessment is required to be performed when a terminally ill resident enrolls in a hospice
program and remains a resident at the nursing home. The Assessment Reference Date (ARD) must be
within 14-days from effective date of the hospice election. Review of the admission record indicated
Resident R25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R25's MDS dated [DATE],
indicated the diagnoses of hypothyroidism (condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough
thyroid hormone, leading to a slowdown in metabolism), congestive heart failure (syndrome caused by an
impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood), and high blood pressure. Review of the clinical
record for Resident R25 revealed a physician's order to consult hospice services on 7/30/25. Review of
Resident R25's plan on care revealed a Problem Start Date: 8/1/25, Category: Hospice; Resident is on
hospice services for unspecified congestive heart failure. Further review of Resident R25's clinical record
revealed a physician's order to admit to hospice on 8/12/25. Review of Resident R25's MDS's lacked
evidence that a significant change MDS with an ARD completed within 14-days from when Resident R25
was admitted to hospice care was completed. During an interview on 9/3/25, at 11:12 a.m., the Registered

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policy, Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, clinical records, and staff
interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic
assessment of care needs) assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for two of three residents
(Residents R7 and R79).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which gives instructions for completing
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments (mandated assessments of a resident's abilities and care needs),
dated October 2024, indicated the following instructions:
Section N0415: High-Risk Drug Classes: Use and Indication, Question N0415E1 - Anticoagulant (e.g.,
warfarin, heparin, or low-molecular weight heparin): check if an anticoagulant medication was taken by the
resident at any time during the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7
day).
Do not code antiplatelet medications such as aspirin/extended release, dipyridamole, or clopidogrel as
N0415E, Anticoagulant.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R7's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, dementia (a
group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with daily life), and arthritis (inflammation of
one or more joints, causing pain and stiffness). Question N0415E1 indicated the resident received an
anticoagulant during the 7-day look-back period.
Review of Resident R7's clinical record failed to include a physician order for an anticoagulant medication.
Review of Resident R7's physician order dated 6/24/25, indicated to administer Aspirin (an antiplatelet
medication) 81 milligrams (mg) once a day for CAD (coronary artery disease - damage or disease in the
heart's major blood vessels).
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R79 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R79's clinical record failed to include a physician order for an anticoagulant medication.
Review of Resident R79's physician order dated 8/20/25, indicated to administer Aspirin 325 mg once a day
for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis - when a blood clot forms in a deep vein) prevention.
During an interview on 9/4/25, at 11:25 a.m. Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) Employee
E6 stated, We were told to count Aspirin as an anticoagulant when given for DVT (deep vein thrombosis)

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
make certain that residents were provided appropriate treatment and care by failing to implement the
facility's hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) protocol and failing to notify the physician timely of a change in
condition for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R132).Findings include: Review of facility policy
Hypoglycemia dated 8/1/25, indicated nursing personnel are responsible for recognizing signs and
symptoms of hypoglycemia and responding accordingly. In the absence of specific treatment orders for
hypoglycemia, this protocol will be followed. Monitor for symptoms of hypoglycemia. Symptoms may
include: - Weakness or dizziness - Tremor, Palpitations, Sweating - Hunger, Altered Mental Status - Facial
Pallor, Hunger - Numbness, Tingling, Drowsiness - Anxiety, AgitationA blood glucose of 70 mg/dL or less
may indicate the need for intervention. If there are no provider orders for specific treatment, do the
following: - Resident is drowsy or unconscious or is unable to or unwilling to consume anything orally,
administer glucagon 1 mg subcutaneously (a medication administered into the skin). Monitor resident every
15 minutes after treatment. - Once acute hypoglycemia has been resolved, notify the provider and
document in resident's medical record. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R132 was admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R132's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of
care needs) dated 9/1/25, indicated diagnoses of diabetes (a metabolic disorder in which the body has high
sugar levels for prolonged periods of time), high blood pressure, and cerebral infarction (necrotic tissue in
the brain resulting loss of blood and oxygen to the brain). During a review of Resident R132's blood glucose
log dated August 2025, revealed that on 8/31/25, Resident R132's blood glucose level was 45 mg/dL.
Review of Resident R132's physician orders dated 8/28/25, indicated to notify the physician if blood glucose
is less than 60 mg/dL and that resident is NPO (nothing allowed by mouth). Review of Resident R132's
progress notes failed to reveal any documentation of resident's blood glucose of 45 mg/dL. In further
review, the facility failed to document an assessment of the hypoglycemic episode, failed to notify the
physician, and failed to document interventions used to improve the hypoglycemic episode. During an
interview on 9/4/25, at 9:30 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility did not have any
documentation concerning the low blood glucose level for Resident R132. During an interview on 9/4/25, at
9:33 a.m. the DON confirmed that the facility failed to make certain that residents were provided
appropriate treatment and care by failing to implement the facility's hypoglycemia protocol and failing to
notify the physician timely of a change in condition as required. 28 Pa. Code 201.18 (b)(1) Management. 28

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
review of facility policies, review of clinical record, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices related to the care of indwelling urinary
catheters (tube inserted in the bladder to drain urine) for one of four residents (Resident R87), and failed to
use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriately in Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP-a type of
isolation), which created the potential for the cross-contamination and the spread of diseases and infections
for one of three residents (R87). Findings include: Review of facility policy Indwelling Urinary Catheter dated
8/1/25, indicated that clinical staff may provide urinary catheter care. Such care will help to prevent catheter
association urinary tract infections. Check drainage tubing and bag to ensure that the catheter is draining
properly, and no kinks are present. The urinary drainage bag must be placed below the bladder level but not
on the floor. Ensure drainage bag is covered with privacy/dignity bag. Review of facility policy Infection
Prevention and Control Program dated 8/1/25, indicated the policy is to maintain an organized, effective
facility - wide program designed to prevent, identify, control and reduce the risk of acquiring and
transmitting infections. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R87 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Review of Resident R87's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated
8/20/25, indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, heart failure (a progressive heart disease that affects
pumping action of the heart muscles), and obstructive uropathy (a blockage in the urinary system that
prevents urine from draining normally). During a tour of the facility on 9/2/25, at 10:03 a.m. included EBP
signage on Resident R87's door with PPE stored in a bin prior to entering resident's room. Review of
Resident R87's care plan revised on 8/26/25, indicated the resident has an indwelling urinary catheter
related to obstructive uropathy and has the need for EBP related to potential for infectious disease as
evidenced by indwelling foley catheter. Review of Resident R87's current physician orders indicated EBP for
foley catheter. During an observation on 9/2/25, at 11:37 a.m. Resident R87's catheter draining bag was
observed lying directly on the floor beside the bed without a privacy cover applied. During an observation
on 9/2/25, at 11:45 a.m. Nursing Assistant (NA) Employee E11 emptied Resident R87's foley catheter and
failed to wear PPE, as required. During an interview on 9/2/25, at 11:52 a.m. NA Employee E11 was asked,
What does this EBP sign mean? NA replied, I should have worn PPE when I emptied the residents foley
catheter. We are educated in EBP and should wear at least gloves and gowns when we do special
procedures and confirmed that the foley drainage bag was on the floor and that he did not wear PPE while
emptying Resident R87's foley. During an interview on 9/2/25, at 2:45 p.m. the Director of Nursing
confirmed that the facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices related to the care of
indwelling urinary catheters for one of four residents (Resident R87), and failed to use PPE appropriately in
Enhanced Barrier Precautions, which created the potential for the cross-contamination and the spread of
diseases and infections for one of three residents (Resident R87). 28 Pa. code: 201.14 (a) Responsibility of
