Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the resident and/or their representative received written notice of the facility bed-hold policy at the time of transfer for two of four residents reviewed for hospitalization (Resident R1 and R4).Findings Include: Review of federal regulation S483.15(d) Notice of Bed-Hold Policy, indicated, facilities must provide written information about these policies to residents prior to and upon transfer for such absences. This information must be provided to all facility residents, regardless of their payment source. These provisions require facilities to issue two notices related to bed-hold policies. The first notice could be given well in advance of any transfer, i.e., information provided in the admission packet. Reissuance of the first notice would be required if the bed-hold policy under the State plan or the facility's policy were to change. The second notice must be provided to the resident, and if applicable the resident's representative, at the time of transfer, or in cases of emergency transfer, within 24 hours. It is expected that facilities will document multiple attempts to reach the resident's representative in cases where the facility was unable to notify the representative. The notice must provide information to the resident that explains the duration of bed-hold, if any, and the reserve bed payment policy. It should also address permitting the return of residents to the next available bed. Review of facility Bed Hold Policy dated 4/17/25, indicated, Prior to transfer and at the time of transfer for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, the facility will provide to the resident and/or the resident representative written notice which specified the duration of the bed-hold policy and addresses information explaining the return of the residents to the most available bed.

Review of Resident R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of resident care needs) dated 11/29/25, included diagnoses of dementia (a group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interfere with daily life) and metabolic encephalopathy (alteration in consciousness caused by a chemical imbalance affecting the brain). Review of Section C: Cognitive Patterns indicated severe cognitive impairment. Review of a progress note dated 7/18/25, at 4:50 a.m. indicated that Resident R1 was ordered to be sent to the hospital. Further review of Resident R1's clinical record failed to reveal notation that the written notice of bed hold notification was provided to the Resident or Resident Representative upon transfer. Review of a progress note dated 8/21/25, at 6:28 p.m. indicated that Resident R1 was ordered to be sent to the hospital. Further review of Resident R1's clinical record failed to reveal notation that the written notice of bed hold notification was provided to the Resident or Resident Representative upon transfer. Review of a progress note dated 9/23/25, at 8:38 p.m. indicated that Resident R1 was ordered to be sent to the hospital.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to assess, document, and notify physicians of decreased Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels for one of five residents reviewed (Resident R38). Findings include:The Centers for Disease Control define diabetes as Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body ' s cells for use as energy. If you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes as well as it should. When there isn't enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when blood glucose is lower than normal, usually below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). If left untreated, hypoglycemia may lead to weakness, confusion, unconsciousness, arrhythmias, and even death. People with Diabetes Mellitus may be prescribed injectable insulin to assist in maintaining acceptable level of CBG ' s. Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose, occurs when there is too much sugar in the blood. This happens when your body has too little insulin. Hyperglycemia is blood glucose greater than 125 mg/dL while fasting (not eating for at least eight hours, or a blood glucose greater than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after eating. If you have hyperglycemia and it is untreated for long periods of time, you can damage your nerves, blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Damage to blood vessels can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke, and nerve damage may also lead to eye damage, kidney damage, and non-healing wounds. Review of the facility policy Notification of Changes in Resident Condition and Treatment Changes reviewed 4/17/25, indicates the medical practitioner is promptly notified of significant changes in condition, and the medical record must reflect the notification, response, and interventions implemented to address the resident's condition. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident R38 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included diabetes, atherosclerotic heart disease (the buildup of fats and cholesterol substances in and on the artery walls), and hyperlipidemia (having too many fats, like cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood). Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a mandated assessment of a resident 's abilities and care needs) dated 9/24/25, indicated diagnoses remain current. Review of Resident R38' s physician orders revealed the following orders:-On 7/3/25, Apidra SoloStar (a fast-acting insulin that starts to work about 15 minutes after injection, peaks about 1 hour, keeps working for 2-4 hours) administer before meals (8 am, 12 pm, 4 pm). If >340, notify the physician. -On 10/2/25, the CBG was noted as 342, no recheck documented.-On 10/7/25, the CBG was noted as 353, no recheck documented.-On 11/16/25, the CBG was noted as 384, no recheck documented.-On 11/17/25, the CBG was noted as 406, no recheck documented. Review of Resident R38' s eMAR (computerized charting) and clinical progress notes indicated the resident was not assessed for hypoglycemia, the blood glucose was not monitored for effectiveness of treatment, and the physician was not notified of abnormal results on the above listed dates. During an interview on 12/3/25, at 5:10 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to notify the doctor of a change in condition and failed to document an assessment or interventions used related to abnormal blood glucose levels for Resident R38. 28 Pa.
