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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of select facility policy and clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to afford residents the right to formulate an Advance Directive (a written instruction such as a living
will or durable power of attorney for health care for when the individual is incapacitated) and accurately
identify the resident's future health care wishes as evidenced by four out of 12 Residents sampled
(Residents 2, 10, 11, and 12).
The findings include:
Review of facility's Advance Directives policy last reviewed by the facility [DATE], indicated that an Advance
Directive is a written instruction such as a living will or durable power of attorney for health care recognized
under state law, relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated. The document
expresses wishes about treatment preferences and the designation of a surrogate if the individual is
incapacitated. The social worker will meet with the resident/family upon admission, quarterly, annually, and
as needed to review.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses which include end stage renal disease.
Review of Resident 10's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated standardized
assessment process completed periodically to plan resident care) dated [DATE], 2023, revealed that the
resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS (brief interview mental screening tool used to screen and
identify cognitive impairment) score of 15 (13 to 15 indicates cognitively intact).
Resident 10's clinical record revealed a Pennsylvania Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (The
POLST is not intended to replace an advance health care directive document or other medical orders. The
POLST process and health care decision-making works best when the person has appointed a healthcare
agent to speak for them when they become unable to speak for themselves. A health care agent can only
be appointed through an advance health care directive or a health care power of attorney), but no
documented evidence of Advance Directives or if the facility asked the resident if she would like information
to formulate an Advance Directive.
Interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on [DATE], at approximately 10:00 AM confirmed there
was no documented evidence to indicate that the facility had determined if Resident 10 had or did not have
an Advance Directive upon admission to the facility. The SSD confirmed there was also no documented
evidence that Resident 10 was made aware of the right to formulate an Advance Directive and that
information to formulate an advance directive could be requested and provided by the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of the facility's abuse prevention policy and employee personnel files and staff interview,
it was determined that the facility failed to implement their established abuse prohibition policy and
procedures for training new employees as evidenced by two newly hired employees (Employees 1 and 5)
and screening potential employees for one (Employee 5) out of five newly hired employees reviewed.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
A review of facility policy titled Abuse Protection last reviewed by the facility January 4, 2023, revealed that
the facility conducts employee background checks and will not knowingly employ any individual who has
been convicted of abusing, neglecting, or mistreating individuals. Additionally, mandated staff
training/orientation programs that include such topics as abuse prevention, identification, and reporting of
abuse, stress management, dealing with violent behavior or catastrophic reactions, etc. Training is provided
at time of hire, annually, and as needed.
Review of employee personnel files revealed that Employee 1 (Registered Nurse) started to work in the
facility on August 1, 2023. There was no evidence that Employee 1 was provided training on the facility's
abuse policy during the orientation process.
Interview with Employee 1 on December 5, 2023, at approximately 10:30 AM confirmed that she did not
receive training on the facility's abuse policy during her facility orientation or prior to beginning work with
residents.
Review of Employee 5's personnel file revealed a hire date of August 30, 2023. There was no evidence the
Employee 5 was provided training on the facility's abuse policy during the orientation process. Further
review of Employee 5's personnel file revealed that there was no evidence the facility performed an
employee background check prior to/ during the hiring process.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on December 7, 2023, at 1 PM verified that the facility was
unable to provide evidence that that the facility abuse policy was consistently implemented with each newly
hired employee for training and screening.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records and select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that nursing services met professional standards of quality according to the Pennsylvania
Code Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards, by failing to ensure licensed nursing staff were
knowledgeable in the necessary care and services for one resident with a Pleurex drain (Resident 1) and
failed to provide care and services according to accepted standards of clinical practice in the identification
of a resident's diagnosis of schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder for one resident (Resident 12) out of 12
residents sampled.

Review of clinical record revealed that Resident 1 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE], following a
hospitalization for collapse of her left lung. Resident 1 returned to the facility with a Pleurex catheter (small,
flexible tube that is placed in the chest or abdomen to drain fluid) in her left chest.
A physician order dated December 1, 2023, indicated that the Pleurex catheter was to be drained three
times weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the amount drained was to be recorded. The
catheter was scheduled to be drained during the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. There were no physician orders
related to the care and maintenance of the catheter insertion site.
Interviews with Employee 1 (RN) and Employee 2 (LPN) on December 6, 2023, at approximately 9:30 AM
revealed that neither employee was provided education regarding Resident 1's Pleurex catheter. Employee
1 and Employee 2 had no knowledge of how to provide care and maintenance to the catheter site or how to
drain the catheter if the need arose during their shift of nursing duty.
Observation of the nursing unit on December 6, 2023, at approximately 9:45 AM, in the presence of
Employee 1 and Employee 2 revealed that there was no availability of a nursing policy and procedure
manual(s) for employees to reference, including care of a Pleurex catheter.

generalized anxiety and depression.
Review of the resident's initial Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS- a federally mandated standardized
assessment completed at specific times to identify resident care needs) dated November 2, 2022, revealed
the resident had no psychiatric/mood disorders.
Review of the clinical record revealed that on October 20, 2022, Resident 12 was transferred to the
emergency department (ED) for a psychiatric evaluation due to agitation.
Review of a consult from the ED dated October 20, 2022, revealed the resident had been verbally
aggressive and confrontational toward staff and peers, requiring a psychiatric evaluation for threatening
behaviors. The resident was cleared by the crisis team and found to be appropriate during the consultation
with negative psychiatric symptoms and was diagnosed with acute reaction to situational stress and acute
urinary tract infection (UTI).
Review of Resident 12's progress notes dated October 21, 2022, revealed new orders for an antibiotic to
treat urinary tract infection (UTI), Ativan (acute agitation) for 14 days and Risperdal (antipsychotic) to treat a
new diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Target symptoms for treatment with the antipsychotic drug
included anxiety/apprehension, paranoia or delusions.
There was no documentation in the clinical record that Resident 12 had experienced hallucinations or
delusions and no further clinical findings to support the new diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Resident 12 was again transferred to the ED on October 22, 2022, related to agitation and received
Rocephin (antibiotic) and Tylenol and returned to the facility without any further treatment
recommendations.
Resident 12 was transferred to the ED on October 24, 2022, with complaints of chest pain and was
diaphoretic (sweaty). The resident was admitted for evaluation.

Ensure that the facility has sufficient staff members who possess the competencies and skills to meet the
behavioral health needs of residents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, a review of clinical records and the facility assessment and resident and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to provide sufficient staff who provide direct services to residents with the
appropriate competencies and skills sets to provide nursing and related services to assure resident safety
and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each
resident and failed to develop effective non-pharmacological approaches to care for one resident (Resident
26) with behaviors out of 12 sampled residents.
Findings include:
Review of the Facility Assessment last reviewed December 1, 2023, indicated that the facility practices an
admission process that revolves around intensive review of each resident's individual needs before offering
admission to the facility. In cases where a less common diagnosis or condition is present, an
interdisciplinary review is conducted to ensure the facility can meet the prospective resident's needs.
Education on clinical competencies occurs before the resident enters the facility and necessary supplies
are made available timely. When current resident develops a new condition, an immediate interdisciplinary
review is conducted and educational needs are provided. Mental health and behavior care manages the
medical conditions and medication-related issues causing psychiatric symptomatology and behavioral
outbursts, identification triggers and develop interventions to support the resident. In addition to nursing
staff, social services is provided for behavioral healthcare and services.
Review of Resident 26's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses, which include paranoid schizophrenia (a pattern of behavior where a person feels
distrustful and suspicious of other people and acts accordingly, delusions and hallucinations are two
symptoms) and major depressive disorder.
Review of Resident 26's care plan initially dated October 16, 2023, revealed that the resident is resistive to
care and medication due to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. The planned intervention is to educate
the resident, family, and caregivers of the possible outcomes of not complying with care and medication.
The care plan also noted the resident receives psychotropic medications. The planned interventions to
prevent side effects of the psychotropic medication included follow-up psych consult as needed, monitor for
side effects of medications, and social services as needed.
There were no non-pharmacological interventions planned in response to the resident's diagnoses of
paranoid schizophrenia and major depression.
During interview with Resident 5, a cognitively intact resident, on December 6, 2023, at 10:30 AM the
resident revealed that Resident 26 had a loud outburst the night before, that included yelling, cursing, and
threatening staff. Resident 5 stated that she keeps her room door closed because of Resident 26's behavior
and stated that she is fearful of the resident because of his temper.
A behavior note dated November 21, 2023, indicated that the resident was having increased violent
behaviors. Threatening to hit and kill staff members. Continues to scream in staff members faces. The
resident walked up to the nurses station and screamed you better get out of my f******* house I'm going to

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, review of the facility's infection control tracking logs and policy and staff interviews
it was determined that the facility failed to maintain a comprehensive program to monitor the development
and spread of infections within the facility and plan preventative measures accordingly.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
A review of the current facility policy Infection Control Program Overview, last reviewed by the facility
January 4, 2023, revealed that the purpose of the facility Infection Control Program is to provide a safe,
sanitary and comfortable environment, to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable
infections and to improve antibiotic use. The facility adheres to the mission and goals set forth in the
infection control plan. The infection prevention and control plan is a comprehensive process that addresses
preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating and controlling infections and communicable diseases and
monitoring judicious use of antibiotics to individuals.
A review of the facility's infection control data available during the survey ending December 7, 2023,
revealed that the facility's infection control tracking did not reflect evidence of a functioning tracking system
to monitor and investigate causes of infection and manner of spread. There was no documented evidence
of a system, which enabled the facility to analyze clusters, changes in prevalent organisms, or increases in
the rate of infection in a timely manner.
The facility's infection control tracking log revealed no documented evidence of detailed data collection that
could be used by the facility to track these infections and to identify any potential trends contained in the
tracking data. The data did not include resident room location or the infectious organism. There was no
documented evidence at the time of the survey ending December 7, 2023, that based on the available
tracking data that the facility had identified any possible trends to implement specific interventions to
prevent the spread of any of the infections.
There was no documentation by the facility of the any of the infections listed of the resolution date,
symptoms, complete culture information for any of the infections noted in the facility's monthly infection
control tracking logs and the treatments required, if any. It could not be determined if any of the noted
infections required the implementation of isolation protocols.
There was no indication that the limited data that was compiled was then evaluated to determine what
could be done to prevent the spread or recurrence of infection.
During an interview conducted on December 7, 2023, at approximately 11 AM, the facility's Infection
Preventionist confirmed that the facility's infection control tracking was incomplete and failed to include the
necessary details to conduct routine, ongoing, and systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and
dissemination of surveillance data to identify infections (i.e., HAI and community-acquired), infection risks,
communicable disease outbreaks, and to maintain or improve resident health status and to track staff for
adherence to infection control policies and procedures and the potential need to for corrective action.
