This survey cited 5 deficiencies, 2 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 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. Based on observation and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain a clean and sanitary environment in one of three resident care units (the [NAME] Resident Unit).Findings include: An environmental tour of the [NAME] Resident Unit was conducted on October 3, 2025.An observation of Room W-16 revealed a large amount of a white substance inside an incontinent brief (a disposable garment worn to manage urinary or fecal incontinence) that was strewn under and around Bed 3. The floor contained liquid stains, visible dirt, and paper debris. A fall mat (a cushioned floor pad placed beside a bed to minimize injury if a resident falls) was propped against the bathroom door frame. The fall mat was visibly soiled with dark liquid stains and dirt. Rooms W-9 and W-11 were observed to have dried liquid stains and dirt on the floors. At 9:30 AM, Resident 12 was observed seated in her wheelchair outside of the room. A brown liquid substance was noted on the resident's clothing, wheelchair seat, and wheelchair tires. Multiple large puddles of the same brown liquid were present under the wheelchair and extended along the floor leading to Bed 1 of Room W-08. During an interview at the time of the observation, Resident 12 stated she had an accident (a bowel incontinence episode with liquid stool) while seated in the chair. She reported activating her call bell (a device used by residents to request assistance from staff) and being told by staff that someone would come to assist her. Resident 12 stated she had been sitting in the soiled condition for more than fifteen minutes. During an interview conducted on October 3, 2025, at 9:40 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated that the nurse aide assigned to Resident 12 that shift had to leave the facility due to an emergency. The ADON stated that other nurse aides were completing their assigned resident care tasks and that assistance would be provided shortly. At 10:00 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that all resident care and common areas are required to be kept clean and sanitary.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of select facility policies, clinical records, investigative reports, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care according to professional standards of practice, which included a failure to implement necessary interventions after a fall, such as close supervision and neurological assessments for one of two residents reviewed for falls resulting in actual harm with a subdural hematoma (brain bleed). Resident CR1.Findings include: A review of a select facility policy for Anticoagulation, last reviewed [DATE], revealed it is the policy of the facility that some medications, including anticoagulants (blood thinners), are associated with greater risks of adverse consequences (increased risk of bleeding and hemorrhage) than other medications. Further review revealed the resident's plan of care should alert staff to monitor adverse consequences risks associated with anticoagulants, which include bleeding and hemorrhage. A review of the facility policy titled Neurological Testing, (include, at a minimum, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure measurements; assessment of pupil size and reactivity; and equality of hand grip strength)last reviewed [DATE], revealed it is the policy of the facility to identify and treat suspected head injury promptly, and if a resident is suspected of having a head injury, has an unwitnessed fall and it is unclear if they hit their head, or a resident has a change in mental status, a full neurological exam will be performed and any abnormal results will be provided to the physician immediately. Neurological testing will be completed immediately and at specified intervals over a 72-hour period (every 15 minutes x 4 days, every 30 minutes x 2 days, every hour x 2 days, every 4 hours x 5 days, then every shift x 6 days), and that abnormal findings are to be reported to the physician immediately. A review of a facility policy titled Assessing Falls and Their Causes, last reviewed [DATE], revealed it is the policy of the facility to provide guidelines for assessing a resident after a fall, to assist staff in identifying causes of the fall, and that falls are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly in nursing homes. Further review revealed that after a fall, if a resident has just fallen or is found on the floor without a witness to an event, evaluate for possible injuries to the head, neck, spine, and extremities, and observe for delayed complications of a fall for 48 hours after an observed or suspected fall. Professional literature and national emergency care guidance support that anticoagulated patients who sustain head trauma should undergo prompt evaluation, including initial neuroimaging and close monitoring. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), referencing the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) 2023 Clinical Policy, advises that for patients on anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy (other than aspirin), clinicians should highly consider imaging and not use clinical decision rules to exclude the need for head CT. (CDC 2023 Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Management Guideline). The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) Practice Management Guideline likewise recommends that clinicians perform a brain CT scan on patients presenting with suspected brain injury in the acute setting and cautions that those on anticoagulation require heightened vigilance and observation when coagulopathy is present. Falls are the leading cause of injury among people 65 and older. The CDC recommends that injured older persons be triaged to trauma centers whenever possible. Following traumatic brain injury (TBI), older individuals had greater rates of morbidity and death than younger patients due to changes in brain structure, a higher burden of comorbidities, and more frequent use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications. Some of the factors that can affect the accuracy of prehospital triage in older adults include frailty, age-related physiological reactions to injuries, polypharmacy (concurrent use of multiple medications), major trauma from low-energy impact mechanisms Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395623 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 14 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 395623 B.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few (low-level falls) that are not detected by the current triage tools, and the use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications. Anticoagulated patients are more likely to experience intracranial hemorrhage, or brain bleeding, hence early CT scanning (computed tomography scan, a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body) may be utilized more frequently in these patients. Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage has been documented to occur at an epidemic rate in patients [AGE] years of age or older who are taking anticoagulants. Compared to younger patients with comparable injuries, older adults who present with polytrauma are at risk for more serious injuries, longer hospital stays, and a higher chance of death. Closed clinical record review revealed that Resident CR1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include muscle weakness and cervical (bones at the top of the spine) fracture due to a fall at home prior to admission, which required surgical intervention of a cervical fusion (a procedure that joins two or more vertebrae, the bones in the spine, in the neck) on [DATE], and was to wear a cervical collar (neck brace to support the neck and spine to stabilize an injury/surgery to promote healing) at all times. A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated [DATE], revealed that Resident CR1 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status a tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information; a score of 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). A physician's order dated [DATE], prescribed enoxaparin (blood thinner) 40 milligrams (mg) every 12 hours to prevent blood clots (anticoagulation) related to cervical fracture, and an order dated [DATE], prescribed Dilaudid (a high-alert Schedule II opiate narcotic medication) 8 milligrams (mg) every 6 hours for pain related to cervical fracture and chronic pain. A review of the resident's fall-risk care plan, initiated on [DATE], revealed the resident was identified as being at risk for falls related to a history of falls at home and unsteady gait, with the goal to minimize the risk for injury related to falls. Interventions included keeping the call bell within reach, ensuring non-skid footwear, and reinforcing the need for the resident to request assistance for mobility or transfers.A review of a nurse's progress note documented by Employee 6, Registered Nurse (RNS) Supervisor dated [DATE], at 11:15 a.m. revealed Resident CR1 slid from her recliner chair onto her buttocks and was assisted back into the recliner. The immediate post-fall intervention included placement of a Dycem (a brand of a non-slip material used to stabilize seating surfaces) on the recliner to prevent further sliding. A review of a nurse's progress note from Employee 7, RN, dated [DATE], at 4:10 p.m. revealed that Resident CR1 was found seated on the floor in an upright position in front of her wheelchair, located next to her bed. Documentation reflected that a new intervention was added to offer the resident the opportunity to rest in bed after meals. A review of a nurse's progress note from Employee 8, RN, dated [DATE], at 10:10 p.m. revealed that Resident CR1 was found on the floor near her bathroom after attempting to ambulate independently, lost balance, and fell. An abrasion measuring 4.5 centimeters (cm) in length and 0.2 centimeters (cm) in width was noted on her back. New interventions implemented after the fall included a therapy referral and direction that the resident wear non-skid socks instead of slippers. A review of a nurse's progress note written by Employee 7, RN, dated [DATE], at 12:15 p.m. revealed Resident CR1 was found on the floor beside the bed after attempting to self-transfer from her wheelchair to the bed following a self-transfer to the toilet. Documentation indicated that she was assisted to the bedside for assessment, and that her cervical collar was in place at the time of evaluation. A review of the corresponding facility provided investigative documentation for the [DATE], 12:15 p.m. fall revealed the intervention entered following this (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395623 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 14 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 395623 B.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few fall was to schedule toileting upon rising, before and after meals, and at bedtime. Review of the resident's electronic task record (an electronic record that summarized planned resident centered tasks completed by nursing) dated [DATE], revealed this intervention had already been initiated prior to the fall. There was no documentation that any new or revised interventions were developed to address the resident's continued pattern of falls. A review of the clinical record revealed a physician's order entered on [DATE], at 9:48 p.m. directing staff to perform 15-minute safety checks following multiple falls within a 24-hour period.Further review of a nurse's progress note from Employee 9, RN, dated [DATE], at 9:51 p.m. revealed that at approximately 7:40 p.m. that evening, Resident CR1 sustained an unwitnessed fall and was found lying on her left side at the foot of the bed with her head positioned under the bed frame after reportedly attempting to reach for an item on the bedside table and sliding off the bed. The resident's cervical collar was noted to be in place, and the on-call physician was notified. The physician ordered safety checks every 15 minutes due to two falls within a 24-hour period. Documentation indicated that neurological checks were initiated and recorded as within normal limits at the time of this assessment. A review of the neurological assessment flow sheet documented assessments at 8:00 p.m., 8:15 p.m., 8:30 p.m., 9:30 p.m., 10:00 p.m., 10:30 p.m., 11:00 p.m., 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. There were additional times written on the neurological sheet for assessments and vitals to be completed at 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 4:00 PM, and 8:00 PM remained blank. The facility was unable to provide documentation that 15-minute checks for safety were completed due to two falls in 24 hours, as ordered by the physician. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE], at 4:00 p.m., revealed that Employee 9, RN, did not relay to other staff members that Resident CR1 was ordered 15-minute checks, so they were unaware that the resident was on every 15-minute safety checks. The DON stated it is not their normal protocol at the facility to put someone on 15-minute checks after a fall, unless ordered by the physician. There was no evidence that the facility modified the plan of care to include heightened monitoring or further assessment following repeated falls, despite the resident's anticoagulation therapy, unsteady gait, and history of head and neck injury.A review of a medication administration note from Employee 10, LPN, dated [DATE], at 7:09 AM revealed Resident CR1's Dilaudid 8 mg for 6:00 AM administration was held because the resident could not be awakened to take the medication, and the vital signs recorded at that time were identical to those documented during the 4:00 a.m. neurological check., blood pressure of 128/64 (normal is 120/80), pulse of 94 (normal is 60-100), and respirations of 18 (normal is 12-20) completed at that time by Employee 10, LPN.A review of a nurse's progress note written by Employee 11, RN, dated [DATE], at 9:00 a.m. revealed that Resident CR1 was not responding to verbal stimulation (spoken words) or to touch. The resident's vital signs at that time were a temperature of 97.6 degrees Fahrenheit, pulse of 60 beats per minute (BPM), respirations of 16 per minute (normal range 12-20), blood pressure of 142/85 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg; normal 120/80), and oxygen saturation of 88 percent on room air (normal is above 90 percent). The record showed that oxygen at 2 liters per minute was applied to the resident, and the on-call physician was notified. The physician ordered that the resident be transferred to the emergency department for evaluation. Further review of the same progress note revealed that on [DATE], at 9:15 a.m., staff called 911 emergency medical services. At 9:33 a.m., documentation indicated that Resident CR1 had no spontaneous respirations (stopped breathing) and staff began assisting with breathing using an Ambu bag (a hand-squeezed device that delivers air and oxygen into the lungs). Oxygen flow was increased to 10 liters per minute. It was noted that the resident had a pulse in the 70s (BPM) at that time, oxygen saturation improved to 99 percent, and the resident's pupils were dilated (enlarged) and unresponsive to light (a sign of (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395623 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 14 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 395623 B.

Upon the arrival of paramedics, the resident was intubated (a breathing tube was inserted into the airway to provide mechanical ventilation) and transported to the emergency department.A review of the clinical record further revealed that five hours had elapsed between the last documented neurological assessment (4:00 a.m.) and the time the resident was found unresponsive at 9:00 a.m. on [DATE]. At that time, the resident was noted to be unresponsive to verbal and tactile stimulation. The on-call physician was again notified, and emergency medical services were called. The resident was subsequently transferred to the hospital for evaluation, 13 hours after the fall occurred. A review of a nurse's progress note documented by Employee 12, LPN, dated [DATE], at 5:42 p.m. revealed that Resident CR1 was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of brain bleeding. A review of outside hospital documentation provided by the facility, dated [DATE], revealed that a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain (a diagnostic imaging test that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images) showed a large left subdural hematoma (a collection of blood between the brain surface and its outer covering), a substantial midline shift (movement of brain structures away from their normal position due to pressure from bleeding), and multi-compartmental intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding in multiple areas within the skull). A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis also showed a left lateral thigh subcutaneous contusion (a bruise under the skin). Hospital records indicated that the resident underwent further neurological evaluation and was pronounced deceased on [DATE].An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE], at 5:00 p.m. confirmed that Resident CR1 had a history of falls in the facility. The DON stated that documentation of the 15-minute safety checks ordered on [DATE], following the fall at 7:40 p.m., and documentation of completion of all required neurological assessments, were not present in the resident's medical record. The record and documentation reviews revealed that after an unwitnessed fall with possible head impact Resident CR1, who was receiving anticoagulation therapy, was not transferred for immediate medical evaluation or diagnostic imaging. Neurological assessments and safety monitoring were not completed as ordered after the fall. The resident was found unresponsive 13 hours later and was transferred to the hospital, where diagnostic imaging identified multiple areas of brain bleeding. 28 Pa.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, staff interviews, review of facility policies, manufacturer instructions for use (IFU), clinical record reviews, and facility investigative documentation, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure residents were protected from potential hazards in the environment by failing to implement safe and sanitary food handling practices in the facility kitchen. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure that hazardous chemical cleaning and sanitizing solutions were properly labeled, stored, and used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and facility policy. This deficient practice resulted in a corrosive sanitizing chemical being mistaken for a beverage, prepared and served to ten residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) out of 57 residents who resided on the East unit of the facility. The failure created a condition of Immediate Jeopardy to resident health and safety by exposing residents to a poisonous chemical substance capable of causing burns to skin and mucous membranes, poisoning, and potentially life-threatening illness.Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Chapter 3: Food Production and Safety, last reviewed and revised by the facility on July 7, 2025, revealed it is facility policy to keep foods safe, wholesome, and appetizing. Food will be stored in an area that is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. The policy indicated chemicals must be clearly labeled, kept in original containers, when possible, kept in a locked area, and stored away from food items. Further review of this policy's subsection titled Sanitation Buckets revealed the objective of the document is for participants to learn the guidelines for different sanitation solutions and their proper use in sanitation buckets. The policy's subsection titled Hazardous Chemicals revealed the objective of the document is for participants to learn to identify hazardous products in the workplace and follow directions on labels to protect themselves. A chemical is classified as hazardous if it can damage an employee internally, changes or damages the surface it contacts, causes an allergic reaction with repeated use, is poisonous or causes cancer, or causes chemical reactions, fires, or explosions. Employees will read Safety Data Sheets (SDS- document provided by chemical manufacturers that detail the properties and potential hazards of a chemical substance) on five key chemicals used in the department. The policy's subsection titled Chemical Safety Chart revealed that all chemicals and cleaning products are not stored near food and are labeled so that staff know what chemical they are using. An observation and an interview October 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM with the corporate dietary manager verified that the liquid sanitizing/disinfectant/virucide solution utilized by the facility kitchen was Knoxville solution. A review of a Manufactures Minimum Safety Data Sheet (MSDS-a document that provides detailed information about the risks and safety precautions and safe-handling instructions of a hazardous chemical) revealed that the product Knoxville, a disinfectant/sanitizer/virucide (kills viruses) and the container label revealed, Danger, this chemical is a hazard to humans and animals. Keep out of reach of children. Corrosive: causes irreversible eye damage and skin burns. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or clothing. Wear goggles or face shield, rubber gloves and protective clothing. Harmful if swallowed. If swallowed, call poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. A review of facility investigative documentation dated September 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM revealed that staff notified facility administration that the pink juice served at lunchtime on the East unit tasted odd. Upon examination of the liquid, no odor was noted; however, when tasted, it did not taste like pink lemonade, which the facility served on a regular basis. Further investigation revealed that the contents in the pitcher was kitchen sanitizer.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few on the beverage cart served to residents on the East wing that day. At the time of discovery, the food trays and beverage cups had already been gathered and returned to the kitchen. Investigation and interviews with nursing staff (as noted below) confirmed that 10 residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) were served the liquid. The facility was not able to determine the amount of liquid that may have been consumed by each resident as the trays had been removed from the residents' rooms and washed. Ten residents were confirmed to have received the liquid and immediately assessed for any symptoms of adverse reactions. The Physicians were notified. The MSDS sheets were reviewed, the poison control center contacted, and recommendation was made to encourage fluid consumption. Physicians' orders were obtained for all residents on the east unit for nursing staff to administer 240 cc of water every hour for 4 hours, vital sign monitoring every 2 hours for 8 hours, then every shift for 24 hours and an oral evaluation for all residents on the east unit for any redness, pain or open lesions. Families of the affected residents were contacted. A clinical record review revealed Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function) and dementia (a condition characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning to an extent that interferes with daily life). A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated standardized assessment conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated September 8, 2025, revealed that Resident 7 was severely cognitively impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a cognitive tool used to assess attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information) score of 03 (a score of 00-07 indicates cognition is severely impaired). A progress note dated September 22, 2025, at 3:25 PM revealed that Resident 7 experienced two episodes of emesis (vomiting) after eating lunch. New orders were noted for vital signs and fluid administration. A subsequent progress note dated September 22, 2025, at 4:08 PM revealed that Resident 7 was served and possibly consumed an unknown amount of kitchen sanitizer. The physician, resident representative, and poison control center were notified. New physician orders directed that vital signs be monitored every two hours for eight hours and then each shift for 24 hours; an oral evaluation be performed for redness or irritation; and 240 cc of fluid be administered immediately and 240 cc every hour for four hours. A review of the clinical record revealed no documentation that the ordered vital signs or fluid administration were completed as directed. There was no evidence that an oral cavity assessment was performed at the time of the incident. Nursing notes revealed that an oral assessment was documented on September 23, 2025, at 1:27 PM. A clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease. A review of a quarterly MDS dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 1 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 14, (a score of 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). A progress note dated September 22, 2025, at 4:04 PM revealed that Resident 1 was served and possibly consumed an unknown amount of kitchen sanitizer. The physician, resident representative, and poison control center were notified. New physician orders were received as noted above. A review of the clinical record revealed no documentation that the ordered vital signs or fluid administration were completed as directed, or that an oral cavity assessment was performed at the time of the incident.

She reported, We, (me and the DON) took the pitcher to dietary, same outcome. At this time, Resident 7 started throwing up. Interviews and documentation reviewed during the investigation revealed the following information regarding the circumstances leading to residents being served sanitizer instead of a beverage. An interview with Employee 14 (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) revealed that Employee 13 NA informed her that the red or pink beverage on the drink cart appeared to cause residents to make faces while drinking it. Employee 13 reported tasting the beverage and stated it had a chemical flavor. Employee 14, LPN, directed Employee 13 NA to remove the beverage from the residents' possession and notify the DON. Employee 14, LPN, stated that staff were informed of the concern and that residents were encouraged to drink fluids and were monitored. A review of a written witness statement by Employee 1 (cook) no date or time indicated revealed, Last night (September 21, 2025), I, Employee 1 (cook) used a pitcher for sanitizer to clean the kitchen. As I finished, I placed the pitcher in the sink and left. During a telephone interview on October 3, 2025, at 2:08 PM, Employee 1, cook, explained that on September 22, 2025, he was tired after working multiple hours (a review of the facility's dietary department assignments for September 22, 2025, revealed Employee 1, Cook, began his shift at 5:00 AM, and the incident occurred at approximately 11:00 AM). He indicated that he began his normal responsibility of cleaning and disinfecting the food prep areas of the kitchen. Employee 1, cook, explained that there were no available sanitation buckets for mixing the sanitizing solution. Instead, he used a dirty clear plastic gallon drink pitcher to mix the red sanitizer agent with water, then proceeded to clean the kitchen surfaces. When he finished cleaning, Employee 1 explained he put the drink pitcher with the remaining pink/red liquid in the dirty compartment of the sink. He indicated that he was wrong to use the clear pitcher as a cleaning bucket. Employee 1, cook, explained he was suspended and then fired from the facility after the incident. He confirmed that he had never received any education regarding his job in the facility kitchen. A review of Employee 1's personnel file, maintained by the contracted dietary company, revealed he was hired on July 20, 2025, and terminated on September 22, 2025. The file contained no evidence of a written job description or documentation of orientation or training related to his position as cook. A review of written documentation dated September 21, 2025, with no time indicated, revealed that Employee 5 (Assistant Dietary Manager) stated, I completed the drink cart for lunch. The Kool-Aid tub we generally use to make the drink was full of the same pink lemonade we use for drinks. Employee 5 explained that the Kool-Aid tub referred to a five-gallon, covered plastic container kept in the kitchen refrigerator and used to prepare and store beverages prior to meal service. The beverage from this container was routinely poured into clear plastic pitchers that were placed on drink carts for delivery to resident dining areas. Employee 5 further stated, I automatically assumed that someone pre-made the Kool-Aid (in the pitcher) and I used it. I did not know it was sanitizer. The investigation determined that the facility's kitchen utilized a three-compartment sink system for manually washing, rinsing, and sanitizing cookware and utensils. The sanitizing step required the use of a red chemical sanitizer solution (a concentrated cleaning agent formulated to kill bacteria and viruses on food-contact surfaces). The solution was prepared by mixing the sanitizer with water in accordance with manufacturer instructions and was intended only for use within the sanitizing sink compartment. Based on staff interviews and documentation reviewed, it was determined that sanitizer prepared for the three-compartment sink had been placed into a clear plastic drink pitcher rather than an appropriately labeled container, resulting in the chemical solution being mistaken for pink lemonade and subsequently served to residents.

A review of Employee 5's personnel file revealed that he was hired on July 20, 2025, and voluntarily terminated employment on September 30, 2025. The file contained no documentation of a job description or evidence of education or training provided by the contracted dietary company or the facility. Interviews conducted on October 3, 2025, with current dietary staff revealed the following: Employee 15, dietary aide, stated that she had been employed in the kitchen for a few months. She reported that she received education regarding labeling drink pitchers only after the September 22, 2025, event and stated that she had not received any prior education regarding her kitchen duties. Employee 16, dietary aide, stated that he had worked in the kitchen for a few months and had not received any education or training related to kitchen operations. Employee 17 (cook) stated that she had been employed in the kitchen for several months and had never received any education or training regarding her job responsibilities in the kitchen. During an interview conducted on October 3, 2025, at 3:30 PM the facility's Dietary Manager stated that most of the kitchen staff were newly hired and had been employed for only a few months. She confirmed that the kitchen was operated under contract with an outside food-service agency and that she was employed by that agency. The manager stated that education and training for dietary employees were completed upon hire and annually but described the process as informal, consisting of being walked through the job duties on the first day of employment. She confirmed that there were no written competencies or job descriptions available for staff reference. Immediate Jeopardy was identified and declared on October 3, 2025, at 3:30 PM due to the facility's failure to properly label and identify a pitcher that contained a sanitizing solution used in the three-compartment sink. The unlabeled solution was mistaken for pink lemonade and subsequently served to approximately ten residents. This failure resulted in the exposure of residents to a hazardous chemical substance and placed them in a condition of Immediate Jeopardy to health and safety. The facility was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy findings at 3:30 PM on October 3, 2025, and the Immediate Jeopardy Template was provided to the Nursing Home Administrator at that time. In response, the facility submitted a written Immediate Jeopardy action plan at 7:30 PM on October 3, 2025. The plan included the following corrective actions:A root-cause analysis was completed, which determined that a staff member had improperly used a drink pitcher to mix and store a sanitizing chemical in the kitchen. All residents on the East Unit were reassessed for injury or adverse effects, and physician orders were implemented for care and monitoring. All chemicals in the kitchen were reviewed for proper labeling and storage. Education was provided to all dietary and nursing staff regarding chemical safety, labeling, and segregation of food and cleaning supplies. All chemicals not in active use were removed from the kitchen area and placed in a secure, designated chemical-storage area. Facility dietary policies regarding chemical labeling, storage, and use were reviewed and revised. Post-education audits were initiated to verify continued staff compliance with labeling and storage procedures. Verification of implementation of the Immediate Jeopardy action plan was completed, and the Immediate Jeopardy was determined to have been removed on October 4, 2025, at 11:30 AM, after it was verified that the corrective actions had been fully implemented and were effective in removing the immediate threat to resident health and safety.28 Pa.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation of the dietary department, Pavilion unit dining room, and resident pantry areas, review of relevant facility policy, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to maintain food service sanitation practices in accordance with acceptable professional standards for the safe preparation, handling, and service of food. Findings include: Food safety and inspection standards for safe food handling indicate that everything that comes in contact with food must be kept clean and food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. Safe steps in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. You cannot always see, smell, or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness according to the USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture, also known as the Agriculture Department, is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to food). During a tour of the facility kitchen on October 3, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with the Corporate Dietary Manager, multiple sanitation concerns were identified that could introduce contaminants into food. The facility used a three-compartment sink system (a manually operated method used in food service operations to wash, rinse, and sanitize dishes and utensils). According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the federal agency that regulates food safety), each sink compartment serves a distinct purpose. The FDA requires commercial foodservice establishments to both clean and sanitize their dishes in their manual washing process. Three compartment sinks have a logical order to help properly clean and sanitize dishes. While those who misunderstand the terms use them interchangeably, cleaning and sanitizing refer to two separate functions.:The first sink (wash) removes food residue using detergent and water at approximately 110 degrees Fahrenheit.The second sink (rinse) removes detergent with clean, warm water.The third sink (sanitize) uses either a chemical agent or hot water to destroy bacteria invisible to the eye.Cleaning refers to the removal of visible debris, while sanitizing refers to the process of using a chemical or heat treatment to kill bacteria and other pathogens on already-clean surfaces. A review of the facility's policy titled Cleaning Dishes and Manual Dishwashing (last reviewed July 8, 2025) directed staff to clean and sanitize cookware after each meal. The policy required water temperatures of 110 F for washing and 75--00 F for sanitizing, with chlorine sanitizer maintained between 50-100 parts per million (PPM, a measure of concentration used to verify sanitizer strength). The policy also required the use of chemical test strips to confirm sanitizer concentration and cleaning of sinks and faucets after use.The policy further outlined the following detailed procedures for manual dishwashing:1. Scrape dishes into a clean waste basket or garbage disposal prior to washing.2. Rinse dishes and stack them carefully to prevent re-contamination.3. Clean and sanitize the sinks prior to beginning the dishwashing process.4. Prepare the sinks according to a posted chart specifying:Sink 1 (Wash): Fill with detergent and warm water at 110 F, changing water frequently to maintain cleanliness.Sink 2 (Rinse): Fill with clean, warm water and rinse dishes thoroughly before sanitizing.Sink 3 (Sanitize): Prepare sanitizer solution at 75-100 F according to manufacturer guidelines, verify concentration using test strips to ensure 50-100 PPM, submerge items for required contact time, then air-dry inverted in a single layer.5. After washing is complete, clean and sanitize sinks and faucets and check sanitizer strength frequently throughout use.The policy emphasized that failure to monitor sanitizer concentration or to clean and sanitize sinks between uses could result in contamination of dishes and utensils.Observation of the three-compartment sink on October 3, 2025 at 10:00 AM revealed the following:The first sink contained multiple dirty pots and pans.All three compartments contained food debris.No sanitizer test strips (paper strips used to confirm that sanitizer concentration is at the correct strength to destroy (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395623 If continuation sheet Page 12 of 14 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 395623 B.

He further stated there was no documentation verifying that sanitizer concentrations were checked in accordance with facility policy. He reported that most dietary staff were recently hired and had not been trained (in-serviced) on proper three-compartment sink use.Additional environmental observations conducted between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM revealed widespread sanitation concerns throughout the kitchen, maintenance, storage, and service areas:Four unlabeled drink pitchers stored upside-down on a dirty windowsill with food particles and lint.An unlabeled bucket containing a rag in chemical solution stored on a shelf next to food items such as cooking oil and spices.In the kitchen maintenance room, two portable machines were observed, which the Dietary Manager could not identify. An open bottle of degreaser was placed on one of the machines. Several electrical extension cords were strewn across the machines and floor, posing both contamination and safety concerns. A nearby metal cart was visibly soiled with food debris, paper waste, and an open bottle of dish detergent. The floor throughout the area contained visible dirt, paper, and plastic debris, with a black sticky substance on the vinyl flooring that adhered to shoes when walked upon.In the storage room, an uncovered three-tiered metal shelving unit held metal banquet pans, cooking racks, serving utensils, and bowls, several of which contained standing water and water stains. Dust, dirt, cobwebs, empty cardboard boxes, and open containers of paper dining products were observed scattered across the floor.During the lunch meal service at 12:30 PM, the kitchen's meal tray delivery cart had visible liquid stains on its exterior. On both the east and west resident hallways, open food carts were noted with food and liquid stains on their exteriors.In the kitchen refrigerator, a heavy buildup of lint-like material was observed on the two fans along the back wall, along with a black sticky residue on the ceiling surface. A zip-lock bag containing sliced deli meat lacked any label or date, as did another open bag of lunch meat. An open container of soup labeled use by 10/1/25 was also present.Observation of the Pavilion resident dining area on October 3, 2025, at 12:45 PM revealed multiple clean coffee cups with a white film on the inside, an open bag of cereal in a cardboard box, and several metal banquet pans with liquid stains. The refrigerator was dirty with food debris, paper waste, and dirt accumulation. Four sandwiches were dated September 30, 2025, and three covered bowls of peaches were undated and unlabeled.Observation of the Pavilion resident pantry revealed dirty dishes on the counter, a microwave with dried food residue, and sticky countertops with visible food and liquid stains. The cabinet under the sink contained dirty trays, a plastic bag of dishwasher pods (chemical cleaning agents), and was unlocked at the time of observation. Additional cabinets contained disorganized, open packages of paper napkins, plastic lids, and plates. A drawer contained an open container of cookies. The refrigerator held multiple unlabeled and undated food containers, including an open plastic container of sweet tea with a use-by date of September 18, 2025, three unlabeled bags of pizza slices, and an unlabeled cup of coffee from an outside restaurant. The freezer contained an open, undated package of waffles. The refrigerator interior was dirty with food, liquid, and dirt debris.During an interview on October 3, 2025, at 2:45 PM, the Corporate Dietary Manager confirmed that dietary staff were responsible for cleaning and maintaining both the resident pantry and dining areas.

F 0835 Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, a review of clinical records, select facility policies, documentation provided by the facility, and interviews with residents and staff, it was determined that the facility's administration failed to effectively use its resources to promote resident safety and maintain the highest practicable physical and mental well-being of residents in the facility. Specifically, the administration failed to ensure resident safety when the facility's dietary department served a hazardous cleaning chemical to residents and failed to prevent ten out of fifty-seven residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) from ingesting the chemical. This deficient practice placed all fifty-seven residents residing in the East Wing at risk of consuming a hazardous cleaning substance and resulted in an immediate jeopardy to resident health and safety.Findings included:A review of the job description for the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) dated June 3, 2024, revealed the administrator will lead and direct the overall operations of the facility. The NHA's essential duties and responsibilities include hiring, training, and developing department staff, verifying that the building and grounds are maintained appropriately, and that equipment and work areas are clean, safe and orderly, and any hazardous conditions are addressed, overseeing regular rounds to monitor operation of support departments, and consulting with department managers concerning the operation of their departments to assist in eliminating/ correcting problem areas and/ or improving services. The Job Description for Director of Nursing (DON) Services dated March 10, 2025, revealed the DON in the absence of the NHA will assume responsibility for the facility, participate in safety committee meetings, quality assessment and assurance committee meetings, and assuring residents a comfortable, clean, orderly, and safe environment. The facility failed to ensure these administrative responsibilities were carried out, as evidenced by the facility served a hazardous cleaning chemical to residents during meal service, and ten out of fifty-seven residents ingested the chemical. (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10). This event demonstrated a lack of effective oversight to address a failure to implement safe handling, storage and labeling of hazardous chemicals. Interviews with staff confirmed that dietary personnel had not received effective training or competency evaluation regarding the safe handling, storage, and labeling of hazardous chemicals in accordance with facility policy and procedure to ensure the safety of residents.The deficiency cited under the Code of Federal Regulatory Groups for Long Term Care, Quality of Care (F689) 483.25(d)(1)(2) Accidents, revealed the Administrator and Director of Nursing failed to fulfill essential administrative duties to monitor departmental operations, identify systemic risks, and ensure the implementation of facility policies to maintain resident safety.
