Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, review of clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an injury of unknown origin for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 3).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: The policy entitled Abuse Policy, last reviewed on August 29, 2023, indicates that the facility describes an injury of unknow origin as an injury that was not observed by any person, cannot be explained by the resident, and a suspicious location not generally vulnerable to trauma. The policy does not specify how the facility will specifically rule out abuse when an injury of unknown origin occurs. Review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed a nursing care plan indicating that she needs the help of two staff members to use a mechanical lift to transfer her out of bed. Resident 3 is not self-ambulatory. A nursing note dated October 6, 2023, at 6:30 PM indicated that staff noted a bruise to the top of Resident 3's left foot measuring 5 cm (centimeters) by 4 cm. The note further described the bruise as green and blue (indicating an older bruise up to five days). Review of the facility's investigation into Resident 3's bruised left foot revealed a witness statement form indicating that for investigations regarding a bruise, the facility is to collect staff statements from the previous three days prior to its discovery. The facility only collected two staff members on the same shift it was discovered, one who reported it and another who didn't see it. There was no documented evidence to indicate the facility collected staff statements for the three days prior to Resident 3's discovery of her bruise. There was also no other documented evidence to indicate the facility thoroughly investigated the possible cause of the bruise to rule out the potential for abuse and/or neglect. Interview with Employee 1, consultant, on October 13, 2023, at 11:00 AM confirmed the above findings for Resident 3. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1) Management 28 Pa. Code 201.29(a)(c) Resident rights

Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Clinical record review revealed Resident 12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Clinical record review of Resident 12's diagnoses list included a left bundle branch block (a disease that impacts or disrupts the electrical impulse that causes the heart to beat). Clinical record review for Resident 12 revealed hospital documentation that noted the resident had a pacemaker implanted in October 2018. A current care plan for Resident 12 indicated the resident had cardiac disease related to the left bundle branch block and an intervention included, pacemaker checks as ordered. A review of the current physician orders for Resident 12 revealed no current orders related to pacemaker checks; however, an order dated October 28, 2018, noted cardiology consult as needed. A review of Resident 12's clinical record revealed no pacemaker checks. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 13, 2023, at 12:45 PM, and Employee 2, licensed practical nurse, on October 13, 2023, at 1:00 PM reported Resident 12 refused the pacemaker check appointments. Upon the surveyor asking for documentation to support this, the only documentation provided by the facility was a form titled Resident Refusal of Appointment dated September 2, 2020, for a cardiology appointment and the reason for refusal noted Resident refusing to wear a mask to go on appointment. An interview with Employee 2 on October 13, 2023, at 1:13 PM revealed a box for a [NAME] device (a device used for remote follow-up after implantation of a pacemaker) was found with Resident 12's name in the supply room of the facility; however, the device was not in the box or visible in the resident's room. Employee 2 was further observed advising Resident 12 that the facility was going to make an appointment to get the pacemaker checked and the resident stated, Oh, ok. The facility failed to provide the highest practicable care regarding Resident 12's pacemaker follow-up checks and it was unclear when the last pacemaker check occurred. 28 Pa.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Based on clinical record review, review of facility investigation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an accident regarding an elopement and implement interventions to prevent recurrence for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 51).
Findings include: Review of Resident 51's clinical record revealed nursing documentation dated September 21, 2023, at 4:56 PM indicating that nursing staff called Resident 51's representative to discuss Resident 51's elopement. Nursing documentation dated September 21, 2023, at 5:08 PM indicated that Employee 5, cook, received a text message from a neighbor indicating that an older lady was standing in front of her house. v Employee 5 drove to the neighbor's house and found Resident 51 in front of the neighbor's garage. Employee 5 brought Resident 51 back to the facility in her personal vehicle at approximately 4:25 PM with no apparent injuries. Review of the facility's investigation into Resident 51's elopement revealed that according to witness statements, Resident 51 was last seen at the nursing station in her wheelchair around 3:30 PM, with her pressure sensor chair alarm in place. The investigation indicated that prior to Resident 51's elopement, her chair alarm did not sound. There was no documented evidence in the facility's investigation that the facility determined why Resident 51's pressure sensor chair alarm did not sound prior to her elopement, or that a witness statement was collected from Employee 5 who was a key staff member in Resident 51's elopement. A progress note included in Resident 51's elopement investigation from the Interdisciplinary Team effective September 22, 2023, indicated that the keypad to the door that Resident 51 exited was reactivated and staff education/disciplinary action for nurse aides on completing rounds and alarm checks. There was no documented evidence to indicate that the facility determined why the keypad to the door was not activated or not working, if the facility completed a facility wide sweep of other doors with alarms to ensure proper functioning, or that the facility performed staff education or disciplinary action regarding not completing rounds and alarm checks. Interview with Employee 1, consultant, on October 12, 2023, at 2:50 PM confirmed the above findings for Resident 51. 28 Pa. Code 201.18 (e)(1) Management 28 Pa. Code 211.10(d) Resident care policies
