This survey cited 27 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that facility failed to determine if a resident was safe to self-administer medications for one of 138 residents reviewed (Resident 69). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's self administration of medication policy, dated January 16, 2024, indicated that self-administration was permitted when the interdisciplinary team has determined that it was clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident 69, dated July 12, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance for daily care needs, and had diagnoses that included stroke, anxiety, depression, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated October 19, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 25 milligrams (mg) of metoprolol twice a day for hypertension, and to receive 20 mg of omeprazole twice a day for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD - heartburn). Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated March 14, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 81 mg of aspirin one time a day for cerebral infarction (stroke) and atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), and 10 milliequivalent (meq) of potassium chloride once a day for supplement. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated May 3, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 75 mg of Pradaxa twice a day for atrial fibrillation. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated May 8, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 225 mg of venlafaxine once a day for depressive mood disorder. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated October 15, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 5 mg of buspirone three times a day for anxiety. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated October 19, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 1 mg of bumetanide twice a day for edema (swelling). Observation of Resident 69 on October 21, 2024, at 11:33 a.m. revealed that the resident was sitting in a wheelchair with her lunch tray in front of her on the over-bed stand. An unsupervised medicine cup with 11 unlabeled pills in it was sitting on the over-bed table. An interview with Resident 69 at that time revealed that she did not know the pills were on her table and that she forgot to take them. An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1 on October 21, 2024, at 11:43 a.m. revealed that she did leave medication in Resident 69's room because she thought she was still in bed and was going to take them when she sat up. She did not stay in the room to observe the resident take the medication. Licensed Practical Nurse 1 then offered to remove the medication, but the resident said she was going to take them. Licensed Practical Nurse 1 left the room and Resident 69 took her medication.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to document the opportunity for the resident and/or resident representative to formulate advance directives (instructions regarding the provision of health care and life sustaining measures when the resident is incapacitated), and failed to document the resident's and/or resident representative's decision to accept or decline assistance to formulate advance directives for three of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 37, 40, 53). Findings include: The facility's policy regarding advance directives, dated January 16, 2024, indicated that upon admission, the resident or resident representative will be provided with written information concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses to do so. If the resident or resident representative indicates that he or she has not established advance directives, the healthcare center staff will offer assistance in establishing advance directives. The resident or resident representative will be given the option to accept or decline the assistance, and care will not be contingent on either decision. Nursing staff will document in the medical record the offer to assist and the resident's or resident representative's decision to accept or decline assistance. Information about whether or not the resident has executed an advance directive is displayed prominently in the medical record in a section of the record that is retrievable by any staff. If the resident or the resident's representative has executed one or more advance directives, or executes one upon admission, copies of these documents are obtained and maintained in the same section of the resident's medical record and are readily retrievable by any facility staff. The interdisciplinary team will review annually with the resident his or her advance directives to ensure that such directives are still the wishes of the resident. Such reviews will be made during the annual assessment process and recorded in the medical record. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 37, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired, was able to be clearly understood and usually able to understand others, required assistance with care needs, and had diagnoses that included diabetes and dementia. An annual MDS assessment for Resident 40, dated May 17, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, was clearly understood and clearly able to understand others, required assistance for care needs, and had diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease Stage 3b (moderate to severe loss of kidney function) and peripheral vascular disease (a disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs). An annual MDS assessment for Resident 53, dated October 5, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, was clearly understood and clearly able to understand others, required supervision to independent with care needs, and had diagnoses that included dementia, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (chronic lung disease making breathing difficult), atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm), cerebral infarction (lack of blood supply to the brain resulting in brain death to parts of the brain). Review of Resident 37, 40 and 53's clinical records indicated that they did not have advance directives. There was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical records that indicated the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395652 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 40 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 395652 B.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm residents and/or their representative was informed of their rights to develop advance directives, no documented evidence that the residents and/or their representatives were provided the opportunity and assistance to formulate an advance directive, and no documented evidence that advanced directives were reviewed with the residents and/or resident representatives annually during the annual assessment process and recorded in the medical record. Residents Affected - Few Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 24, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. indicated that advance directives are addressed with residents during the admission process and noted in the admission paperwork. He indicated that they are uploaded into the documents section of the chart; however, he was not able to produce any advance directives for Residents 37, 40 and 53 or any documented evidence that the residents and/or their representatives were informed of their rights to develop advance directives, that the residents and/or their representatives were provided the opportunity and assistance to formulate an advance directive, or that advanced directives were reviewed with the residents and/or resident representatives annually during the annual assessment process and recorded in the medical record per facility policy. 28 Pa.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the required notice to the resident or the resident's representative following the end of their Medicare coverage for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 101) who remained in the facility for long-term care. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Beneficiary Protection Notification Review form, completed by the facility and dated September 12, 2024, revealed that Medicare coverage for Resident 101 started on August 2, 2024, and that his last covered day was September 16, 2024. The form indicated that the facility initiated discontinuation from Medicare Part A coverage and that the resident's benefit days were not exhausted. There was no documented evidence that Resident 101 was provided with an Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN - a notice given to Medicare beneficiaries to convey that Medicare is not likely to provide coverage in a specific case). Interview with the Director of Social Services on October 24, 2024, at 10:58 a.m. revealed that the ABN for Resident 101 was not issued because she was not aware of the form and that it needed to be completed. 28 Pa.

F 0623 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to notify the resident and legal guardian, in writing, regarding the reason for hospitalization for three of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 12, 74, 106). Findings include: A nursing note for Resident 12, dated July 18, 2024, at 1:49 p.m., revealed that the resident was admitted to the hospital with respiratory failure. There was no documented evidence that a written notice of Resident 12's transfer to the hospital was provided to the resident's responsible party regarding the reason for transfer. A nursing note for Resident 74, dated May 15, 2024, at 11:03 a.m., revealed that the resident was admitted to the hospital with uncontrolled bleeding.

F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from unnecessary drugs for two of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 74, 81). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a federally-mandated assessment of the resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 74, dated August 23, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact and had diagnoses that included diabetes. Pharmacy Medication Regimen Review for Resident 74, dated August 10, 2024, included recommendation for the physician to discontinue the resident's Arixtra (blood thinner) and to taper the resident's fingerstick monitoring with sliding scale insulin coverage. The physician agreed with the pharmacist recommendations and discontinued the Arixtra and the fingerstick monitoring with sliding scale coverage on September 15, 2024, 36 days later. Resident 74's Medication Administration Records (MAR's) for August and September 2024 revealed that the resident received the Arixtra and the fingerstick monitoring with sliding scale insulin coverage from August 10, 2024, until September 15, 2024. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 23, 2024, at 3:49 p.m. confirmed that the physician did not address the pharmacy review recommendation timely and that the resident continued to receive the Arixtra and sliding scale insulin coverage. An admission MDS assessment for Resident 81, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs, and had diagnoses including atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) and peripheral vascular disease (a disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs). Physician's orders for Resident 81, dated September 22, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive a 14 milligram (mg)/24-hour nicotine transdermal (placed on the skin) patch daily to help with quitting smoking, and remove per schedule. A pharmacy recommendation for Resident 81, dated September 23, 2024, indicated that the resident was recently added on a 14 mg nicotine patch for smoking cessation without a stop date. The pharmacist recommended to taper the nicotine patch to seven mg after six weeks and indicated to evaluate and add an order to discontinue the 14 mg nicotine patch in six weeks and start the seven mg nicotine patch for two weeks then discontinue, if appropriate. The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) agreed with the recommendations on September 28, 2024, as documented on the pharmacist's recommendations and indicated to add a stop date as per the recommendations. There was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical record that the pharmacy recommendation was completed as recommended by the pharmacist and as agreed upon by the CRNP. Review of the MAR for Resident 81 for September and October 2024 revealed that the resident received a 14 milligram (mg)/24-hour nicotine transdermal patch daily on September 29 and 30, 2024; October 1 through October 12, 2024; and on October 21 and 22, 2024.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of established infection control guidelines and residents' clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow infection control guidelines from the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to reduce the spread of infections and prevent cross-contamination for one of 138 residents reviewed (Resident 81). Residents Affected - Few 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, indicates that multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission is 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. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 81, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs, had arterial and pressure ulcers present on admission, and had a diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease (a disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs).
