This survey cited 14 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 review of facility policy and clinical record reviews, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide reasonable accommodation of a resident's needs by failing to ensure that the call bell was within reach for one of 37 residents reviewed (Resident 2). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's policy regarding call bells, dated November 21, 2024, revealed that the call bell should be within reach of the resident. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 2, dated November 6, 2024, indicated that the resident was understood and could understand, was cognitively impaired, and was dependent on staff for all care needs. The resident's current care plan indicated that the resident had decreased mobility and that staff were to ensure the call bell was within reach. Observations of Resident 2 on December 16, 2024, at 10:15 a.m. revealed that the resident was lying in bed and was asking for her call bell. The call bell was in her nightstand drawer and was not within her reach. Interview with Nurse Aide 1 at that time revealed that Resident 2 could use her call bell and that it should have been placed within her reach. Interview with Director of Nursing on December 16, 2024, at 3:20 p.m. confirmed that the call bell should have been within reach. 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(5) Nursing Services.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of the Resident Assessment Instrument User's Manual and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to complete accurate Minimum Data Set assessments for four of 37 residents reviewed (Residents 35, 36, 48, 60). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The Long Term Care Facility 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, revealed that Section N0300 was to indicate if the resident received any type of injection during the last seven days and Section H0100A was to indicate if the resident had a nephrostomy tube (a tube inserted through the skin into the kidney that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder). Physician's orders for Resident 35, dated October 7, 2024, included an order for the resident's nephrostomy tube site be cleansed with normal saline solution and a dry dressing applied daily. A nursing note, dated November 10, 2024, revealed that the resident had a nephrostomy catheter. Treatment Administration Records (TAR's) for Resident 35, dated November 2024, revealed that staff cleaned the resident's nephrostomy site with normal saline solution and applied a dry dressing daily from November 1 to 30, 2024. A review of the Medication Administration Records (MAR's), dated November 2024, revealed no documented evidence that Resident 35 received any injections. However, Section N0300 of Resident 35's quarterly MDS assessment, dated November 13, 2024, was coded to indicate that the resident received injections on three days during the seven-day assessment period and Section H0100A was not coded to indicate that Resident 35 had a nephrostomy tube. The RAI manual, dated October 2024, revealed that Section N0350A was to indicate that the resident received an insulin injection during the last seven days and Section N0415F (Antibiotic - medications) was to indicate any medications the resident was taking by pharmacological classification, during the last seven days, or since admission/entry or reentry if less than seven days. Physician's orders for Resident 36, dated November 16, 2024, included orders for the resident to receive 25 units of Novolog (rapid acting insulin) subcutaneously (beneath the skin) three times a day for diabetes. Medication Administration Record's (MAR's) for Resident 36, dated November 2024, revealed that the resident received Novolog insulin as ordered from November 16 to November 30, 2024. A review of the MAR, dated November 2024, revealed no documented evidence that Resident 36 received an antibiotic during the review period. Section N050A of Resident 36's quarterly MDS assessment, dated November 21, 2024, was not coded to indicate that the resident received insulin injections during the seven days of the assessment period and Section N0415F was coded to indicate that Resident 36 received an antibiotic during the seven days of the assessment period. Physician's orders for Resident 48, dated October 24, 2024, included orders for 2 percent Mupirocin (antibiotic) ointment be applied daily to the resident's diabetic ulcer on his right foot. Treatment Administration Records for Resident 48, dated October and November 2024, revealed that staff applied Mupirocin to the resident's diabetic ulcer on October 27 and 28, and November 1 and 2, 2024.

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few However, Section N0415F of Resident 48's quarterly MDS assessment, dated November 2, 2024, was coded to indicate that the resident did not receive an antibiotic during the seven days of the assessment period. Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on December 18, 2024, at 8:42 a.m. confirmed that the MDS assessments for Residents 35, 36 and 48 were coded incorrectly. The RAI User's Manual, dated October 2024, indicated that the intent of Section N was to record the number of days, during the seven days of the assessment period, that any type of injection, insulin, and/or select medications were received by the resident. Section N0415A1 was to be checked if the resident was taking an antipsychotic medication (drugs that treat psychotic disorders) during the last seven days or since admission/entry or reentry if less than seven days, and Section N0450A was to be coded zero (0) No if antipsychotics were not received, and coded (1) Yes if the resident received an antipsychotic medication since admission/entry or reentry, or since the prior MDS assessment, whichever was more recent. Physician's orders for Resident 60, dated September 27, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive one five milligram (mg) tablet of Abilify (an antipsychotic medication) daily for major depressive disorder (a serious mental illness that affects how people feel, think, and act). Medication Administration Records (MARs) for Resident 60, dated November 2024, revealed that staff administered Abilify to the resident November 1 through 15, 2024. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 60, dated November 15, 2024, revealed that Section N0415A1 indicated that the resident received an antipsychotic medication the last seven days during the assessment period. However, Section N0450A was coded as (0) No, indicating that the resident did not receive antipsychotic medication since admission/entry or re-entry, or since the prior MDS assessment. Interview with Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator 2 (RNAC - a registered nurse who is responsible for the completion of MDS assessments) on December 18, 2024, at 3:35 p.m. confirmed that Section N0450A was coded inaccurately for Resident 60, who consistently received antipsychotic medication. 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 policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that care plans were updated to reflect changes in residents' care needs for four of 37 residents reviewed (Residents 28, 33, 39, 68). Findings include: The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated November 21, 2024, indicated that assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change. The interdisciplinary team must review and update the care plan when there has been a significant change in the resident's condition; when the desired outcome is not met; when the resident has been readmitted to the facility from a hospital stay; and at least quarterly, in conjunction with the required quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs). A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 28, dated September 26, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs, and had a diagnosis of end-stage kidney disease. A care plan for Resident 28, dated September 29, 2024, indicated that the resident was on dialysis and was to be assessed to ensure patency for his fistula (a surgically-created connection between an artery and a vein to provide access for dialysis) by feeling for a thrill (vibration or buzzing sensation that indicates blood is flowing through a fistula) or listening for a bruit (a whooshing sound that indicates high-pressure blood flow through a fistula). Physician's orders for Resident 28, dated September 29, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive dialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Observations of Resident 28 on December 18, 2024, at 2:02 p.m. revealed a Central Venous Catheter (a type of vascular access that allows blood to travel to and from a dialysis machine) in the left side of his chest, and that the resident did not have a fistula for dialysis. There was no documented evidence in Resident 28's clinical record to indicate that the care plan was updated to include the care and treatment of a central venous catheter for dialysis. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 18, 2024, at 2:28 p.m. confirmed that Resident 28's care plan was not updated to include the care and treatment of a central venous catheter for dialysis and should have been. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 33, dated October 25, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, was understood and able to understand others, was dependent on staff with care needs, and had a diagnosis of multi-drug resistant organisms. A care plan for Resident 33, dated October 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was on contact precautions (an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use) secondary to ESBL - Escherichia coli (ESBL - E. coli) (a multi-drug resistant bacteria) in her urine causing a urinary tract infection (UTI).

F 0657 no longer on contact precautions for ESBL- E. coli. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Observations during the initial tour on December 16, 2024, at 10:35 a.m. revealed that Resident 33 did not have signage on the door to indicate that contact precautions were in place. As of December 17, 2024, there was no documented evidence that Resident 33's care plan was revised/updated to reflect that her UTI due to ESBL- E. coli was resolved, and that the resident was no longer on contact precautions. Residents Affected - Few Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist on December 18, 2024, at 8:24 a.m. confirmed that Resident 33's UTI due to ESBL - E. coli was resolved, and the resident was not on contact precautions, and the care plans for the contact precautions and UTI due to ESBL - E. coli should have been resolved and they were not. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 39, dated November 14, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs, and had no pressure injuries (a localized area of skin damage caused by prolonged pressure on the skin). A care plan for Resident 39, dated August 29, 2024, indicated that the resident was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP-an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities) secondary to a chronic wound. A care plan for Resident 39, dated September 5, 2024, indicated that the resident had actual skin breakdown related to a Stage 2 pressure ulcer (pressure wound with superficial skin loss) to her left elbow and left hip. Physician's orders for Resident 39, dated August 29, 2024, indicated that the resident was on EBP related to a chronic wound. A wound consult note from Healing Hands Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP - a registered nurse who has additional education and training allowing them to work under a broader scope of practice), dated September 3, 2024, indicated that Resident 39's Stage 2 pressure areas to her left elbow and left hip were resolved. Observations during the initial tour on December 16, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. revealed that Resident 39 did not have signage on the door to indicate that EBP were in place. As of December 17, 2024, there was no documented evidence that Resident 39's care plan was revised/updated to reflect that her pressure ulcers were resolved, and the resident was not on EBP. Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist on December 17, 2024, at 2:39 p.m. confirmed that Resident 39's pressure ulcers were resolved, the resident was not on EBP, and the care plans for the EBP and the actual skin impairments should have been resolved and they were not. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 68, dated November 2, 2024, revealed that the resident was sometimes understood, could sometimes understand others, and had no pressure injuries. A care plan for the resident, dated May 1, 2024, revealed that the resident was at risk for alteration in skin integrity related to impaired mobility. A nursing note for Resident 68, dated December 2, 2024, revealed that the nurse aide reported to the licensed practical nurse that a red open area was noted to the resident's left outer ankle, measuring one centimeter (cm) by two cm by 0.5 cm. The area was an old wound that reopened.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of the Pennsylvania's Nurse Practice Act and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to clarify a questionable physician's order for three of 37 residents reviewed (Residents 19, 63, 76). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The Pennsylvania Code, Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards, State Board of Nursing, 21.11 (a)(1)(2)(4) indicated that the registered nurse was to collect complete and ongoing data to determine nursing care needs, analyze the health status of individuals and compare the data with the norm when determining nursing care needs, and carry out nursing care actions that promote, maintain and restore the well-being of individuals. Physician's orders for Resident 19, dated October 11, 2024, included an order for staff to flush the resident's feeding tube (a medical device that provides nutrition, fluids, and medication to people who are unable to eat or drink safely by mouth) with 50 milliliters (ml) of water before and after administering medications and flush with 5 ml of water between each medication administered. A nutritional note for Resident 19, dated December 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was aware of his oral intake being improved. The resident made it known that he did not want the tube feeding to be restarted. He agreed to the use of oral supplementation if needed. A progress note for Resident 19, dated December 11, 2024, revealed that a care plan meeting was held that date indicating that the resident's tube feeding was recently discontinued. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 3 on December 18, 2024, at 9:10 a.m. revealed that Resident 19 still has the feeding tube in place, that she does not use it for administering his medications, and that she gives all of his medications by mouth. Interview with Resident 19, 2024, at 9:25 a.m. revealed that he takes everything by mouth now and that they do not use the feeding tube to administer any feedings and/or medications. He indicated that he is hoping that they soon get rid of the feeding tube. There was no documented evidence that Resident 19's physician was contacted to clarify how the resident's feeding tube was to be flushed, since he does not receive his medications by the feeding tube. Interview with the Director of Nursing December 18, 2024, at 12:30 p.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that Resident 19's physician was contacted to clarify how the resident's feeding tube was to be flushed, since he does not receive his medications by the feeding tube. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 63, dated November 14, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, could understand others and was understood, and had a diagnosis of diabetes. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated November 14, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 14 units of insulin lispro (a fast-acting medication to help regulate blood sugar levels in persons with diabetes) at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 5:15 p.m. (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395610 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 24 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 395610 B.

The orders were recently changed by pharmacy and signed off by the site medical director and did not include holding the insulin. The new orders should have been clarified by the physician before holding the insulin. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 76, dated December 6, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact and had diagnoses that included heart failure and hypotension (low blood pressure). Physician's orders for Resident 76, dated November 18 and December 2, 2024, included orders for the resident to receive 5 milligrams (mg) of Midodrine (a medication used for low blood pressure) with meals three times on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and to be given if the resident's systolic blood pressure (pressure within heart when heart is pumping) was less than 90 mmHg and to hold if the resident's systolic blood pressure was greater than 120 mmHg or above. Resident 76's Medication Administration Records (MAR's) for November and December 2024 indicated that the resident's blood pressure at 5:30 a.m. was 101/66 mmHg on November 24, 104/52 mmHg on November 25, and 114/76 mmHg on November 27; at 12:30 p.m. was 104/60 mmHg on December 9, 116/70 mmHg on December 4, 110/60 mmHg on December 9, and 116/64 mmHg on December 16; at 5:30 p.m. was 118/60 mmHg on November 20, 107/63 mmHg on November 25, 100/56 mmHg on November 27, 118/78 mmHg on December 4, and 110/74 mmHg on December 6, 2024. However, according to the MAR's, staff administered Midodrine on these days when the medication order should have been clarified for what to do when the resident's systolic blood pressure was between 90 and 120 mmHg. Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on December 18, 2024, at 2:39 p.m. confirmed that staff should have clarified the Midodrine order with the physician when the resident's systolic blood pressure was between 90 and 120 mmHg. 28 Pa.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of established infection control guidelines, facility policies, and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for three of 37 residents reviewed (Residents 19, 62, 76). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: CDC guidance on Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use in Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs), dated July 12, 2022, indicated that multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission was common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. CMS updated its infection prevention and control guidance effective April 1, 2024. The recommendations now include the use of EBP during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not apply. The facility's policy regarding EBP, dated November 21, 2024, indicated that EBP are used as an infection prevention and control intervention to reduce the spread of MDROs to residents. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. Gloves and gown are applied prior to performing the high contact resident care activity (as opposed to before entering the room); PPE is changed before caring for another resident, and face protection may be used if there is also a risk of splash or spray. Examples of high-contact resident care activities requiring the use of gown and gloves for EBPs include dressing; bathing/showering; transferring; providing hygiene, changing linens; changing briefs or assisting with toileting; device care, and wound care (any skin opening requiring a dressing). EBP's are indicated for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices. EBPs remain in place for the duration of the resident's stay or until resolution of the wound or discontinuation of the indwelling medical device that places them at increased risk. A significant change in status Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 19, dated December 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was understood, could understand others, had a diagnosis which included Stage 4 Pressure Ulcer (damage extends through all layers of skin, reaching the underlying muscle, tendon, or bone, often with exposed tissue) to his left heel, and a non-stageable pressure ulcer (unable to determine the depth of the wound) to another site. A care plan for the resident, dated November 6, 2024, revealed that the resident had an actual skin breakdown to his left great toe. A care plan, dated September 22, 2024, revealed that the resident was on EBP, and staff was to use gown and gloves during high contact activities (e.g., dressing, hygiene, toileting, transferring, bathing/ showering, changing linens, device care, wound care, therapy). Physician's orders for Resident 19, dated October 29, 2024, included an order for the resident to be on EBPs.
