Review of Resident 45's clinical record progress notes revealed a note dated December 29, 2023, that indicated they were seen by the wound specialist from Healing Partners earlier that day, the the etiology of Resident 45's wound to their left great toe was arterial and measured 0.0 centimeters by 0.0 centimeters and was resolved. Further review of Resident 45's clinical record progress notes revealed that facility nurses continued to document on the area to the left great toe on a weekly basis. During an interview with the NHA on March 20, 2024, at 10:37 AM, concerns were presented regarding wound documentation and classification of Resident 45's wound in the clinical record. Discussion specifically included that there were notes by the wound specialist consultant that had identified the area as pressure initially, then the wound specialist consultant documented that the wound was trauma related, and then the wound specialist consultant documented that the wound was an arterial ulcer. It was also shared that in the same note by the wound specialist consultant that indicated the wound was an arterial ulcer, it was noted that the arterial test results revealed that Resident 45 did not have any arterial blood flow blockages. Surveyor also shared that there were notes that indicated the wound was resolved and notes that indicated that the wound remained. During an interview with the NHA and Employee 1 (RNAC - Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator) on March 20, 2024, at 2:26 PM, Employee 1 indicated that they were reviewing everything to determine what type of wound Resident 45 had. The NHA also indicated that the Registered Nurse Supervisor was going to assess Resident 45 to determine if the wound was still present. She also indicated that she had reached out to the wound specialist consultant for additional information. The NHA indicated that she seemed to recall that there was some discussion with the former Director of Nursing (DON) and the wound specialty consultant having conflicting information regarding Resident 45's wound. Email communication received from the NHA on March 20, 2024, at 7:30 PM, indicated that Resident 45 had a wound to their left great toe that was documented as resolved on December 29, 2023. She also indicated that, according to an interview with the Nurse Supervisor that date, staff continued to document on the resolved area because there is still a scab. Email communication received from the NHA on March 21, 2024, at 9:00 AM, included an email from Wound Healing Partners's wound nurse who saw Resident 45 for her left great toe wound, and indicated that the DON did not think this was pressure and did not want it listed as such. The email further indicated that was why arterial studies were ordered. The NHA also indicated that facility staff are still treating the L[eft] great toe because there is still a scab on it. They continue to monitor and will make referral to WHP (Wound Healing Partners) if necessary. During a final interview with the NHA on March 21, 2024, at 10:30 AM, she confirmed that she would expect clear communication to have occurred to determine the exact wound type for adequate follow-up at the time that Resident 45 developed the wound. She also indicated that the DON who was employed at the facility at the time that Resident 45 developed their wound has since been terminated, and that part of the reason they were terminated was related to wound classifications. Review of Resident 67's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure) and dementia.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure proper monitoring and timely implementation of interventions to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status for four of 17 residents reviewed (Residents 22, 23, 45, and 57), resulting in actual harm as evidenced by continued weight loss after a significant weight loss was documented for two of 17 residents reviewed (Residents 22 and 45).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Weight Monitoring, dated October 2022, read, in part, The facility will ensure that all residents maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status, such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range and electrolyte balance, unless the residents clinical condition demonstrates this is not possible or residents preferences indicate otherwise .the facility will utilize a systematic approach to optimize a residents nutritional status. This process includes .Monitoring the effectiveness of interventions and revising them as necessary .Residents with weight loss-monitor weight weekly .the physician should be informed of a significant change in weight and may order nutritional interventions .The Registered Dietitian or Dietary Manager should be consulted to assist with interventions; actions are recorded in the nutrition progress notes .the interdisciplinary plan of care communicates care instructions to staff. Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia (a chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in things). Review of Resident 22's weights revealed she weighed 127.5 pounds (lbs) on January 22, 2024; 109.8 lbs on February 2, 2024; 109.7 lbs on February 7, 2024; and 107.4 lbs on February 13, 2024. This equated to a weight loss of 17.7 pounds (-13.8%) from January 22, 2024, to February 2, 2024, and a continued weight loss of 2.4 pounds (-2%) from February 2, 2024, to February 13, 2024. Review of Resident 22's clinical record failed to reveal that a nutritional assessment was completed for Resident 22 between the dates of August 14, 2023, and March 20, 2024; and failed to reveal that any interventions were put into place for a significant weight loss between February 2, 2024 (the date a significant weight loss was noted), and February 16, 2024 (the date the physician was notified of Resident 22's weight loss). Review of Resident 22's progress notes revealed a note dated February 16, 2024, that stated, [Employee 11 (Physician)] notified of resident's 20 lb weight loss over past 3 weeks.

Review of Resident 22's physician orders revealed an order for Weekly weights x 4 every day shift every Mon for 4 Administrations, with a start date of February 26, 2024.
Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 22's MAR (Medication Administration Record - documentation for treatments/medication administered or monitored) and her clinical record failed to reveal a weekly weight was obtained on March 11, 2024, as per physician order. Review of Resident 22's progress notes revealed a note dated February 22, 2024, that stated, Notified by Social worker that resident's family was updated at care plan meeting about resident's weight loss and declining condition. Family will discuss hospice. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on March 20, 2024, at 2:34 PM, the surveyor revealed the concern with Resident 22's weight loss not being assessed timely, interventions not being put into place timely and implemented per order, and continued weight loss without interventions. The NHA confirmed she would have expected nutrition assessments and interventions to be put into place timely and implemented following a significant weight change. The NHA further revealed nursing was responsible for notifying the physician of significant weight changes at that time, since the facility did not have dietitian coverage during the period of Resident 22's weight loss. She also revealed that there was a corporate Certified Dietary Manager that they should have consulted during that time, but that they failed to consult them. The facility failed to ensure timely evaluation and implementation of new interventions to prevent further weight loss for Resident 17 following a significant weight loss of 17.7 lbs (13.8%) in less than 14 days, resulting in harm as evidenced by an additional weight loss of 2.3 lbs (2%) before interventions were put into place. Review of Resident 23's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia, hypertensive heart disease (heart condition caused by high blood pressure), and depression. Review of Resident 23's weight records revealed that they weighed 194.8 lbs on July 18, 2023; 187 lbs on September 3, 2023; and 164.2 lbs on March 1, 2024 (a loss of 12.19%). Review of Resident 23's Physician Services notes revealed a note dated February 27, 2024, which indicated the following: Resident 23 was being seen for a routine visit and review of their weight loss; the Resident had an 11.98% weight loss over the past six months; their weight had consistently declined month-to-month in that time; their nutritional supplement was increased in January 2024; the resident was on a regular diet with double portions and increased dessert portions; and their cause of weight loss was unknown as their caloric intake and meal consumption was high, but was likely unavoidable secondary to advanced dementia. The note further indicated that the practitioner's plan was to increase the nutritional supplement again, to have Resident 23 weighed weekly, and follow further recommendations of the dietician. Review of Resident 23's clinical record on March 19, 2023, at 10:31 AM, revealed that they had one nutritional assessment completed by the facility dietician on July 25, 2023, at the time of their admission to the facility. Review of Resident 23's clinical record progress notes on March 19, 2023, at 10:31 AM, revealed

that the last documentation completed by a dietician was dated August 3, 2023, at which time the note indicated that they were questioning a weight that had been obtained and had requested that the resident be reweighed. During an interview with the NHA and Employee 1 (Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator - RNAC) on March 20, 2024, at 2:24 PM, the aforementioned information from the practitioner's note was shared, as well as concern regarding the lack of nutritional assessments or any documented follow-up by a dietician. The NHA confirmed that there were no additional nutritional assessments completed on Resident 23 since they were admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She indicated that the facility was without a dietician from September 15, 2023, until March 5, 2024. She indicated that during the time the facility was without a dietician, the Director of Nursing (DON) was to be reviewing resident weights and addressing weight concerns in the interim, and that there was a corporate Certified Dietary Manager that the facility could have reached out to when needed. The NHA shared that this DON was no longer an employee at the facility, and that the facility had failed to contact the corporate Certified Dietary Manager for assistance. A follow-up review of Resident 23's clinical record on March 21, 2024, at 8:59 AM, revealed a progress note by the dietician which indicated that there was an order clarification for the weekly weight monitoring due to significant weight loss over six months. At the time of this review, there was still no documented nutritional assessment by the facility dietician. During a final interview with the NHA on March 21, 2024, at 10:29 AM, she confirmed that she would expect a resident to have a nutritional assessment completed quarterly by a dietician, at minimum, and with any nutritional change, such as weight loss. Review of Resident 45's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia, dysphagia, and breast cancer. Review of Resident 45's weight records revealed the following weights: December 1, 2023, 111 lbs; January 22, 2024, 101.5 lbs; January 30, 2024, 101.6 lbs; February 20, 2024, 97.5 lbs February 21, 2024, 95.4 lbs February 22, 2024, 96.2 lbs February 26, 2024, 85.6 lbs February 27, 2024, 88.7 lbs March 1, 2024, 93.6 lbs March 5, 2024, 93.5 lbs

This equated to a significant weight loss of 13.5 lbs (12.2%) between December 1, 2023, and February 20, 2024; an additional 11.9 lb weight loss between and February 20, 2024 and February 26, 2024; and a total weight loss of 17.5 lbs (15.7%) between December 1, 2023 and March 5, 2024. Review of Resident 45's clinical record revealed that their last nutritional assessment was completed by a dietician on September 20, 2023, at the time of their admission to the facility. Review of Resident 45's clinical record progress notes revealed a note by the facility dietician dated March 6, 2024, at 1:09 PM, which indicated that their weekly weights were reviewed and that their current weight on March 5, 2024, triggers as a significant loss of 6.9% x 30 days.

In addition, there was a progress note dated March 6, 2024, at 1:37 PM, which indicated that Resident 45's responsible party was notified of their weight change and new recommendations. The documentation did not indicate if Resident 45's physician was made aware of the weight loss. Further review of Resident 45's clinical record progress notes failed to reveal any documentation regarding Resident 45's weight loss, including physician notification and responsible party notification between February 20, 2024, when the resident started triggering for weight loss, and March 6, 2024. The last documentation of Resident 45's physician being made aware of any weight loss was on December 19, 2023, during which time the resident was experiencing a COVID-19 infection and additional orders were given for nutritional supplementation. During an interview with the NHA on March 20, 2024, at 10:24 AM, the aforementioned concerns were shared regarding Resident 45's weight loss identification, lack of dietician involvement, and lack of documentation that the physician or responsible party were notified of the weight loss that triggered on February 20, 2024, and of ongoing weight loss triggered with each weight obtained thereafter. The NHA confirmed that there were no other nutritional assessments completed for Resident 45 since they were admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She indicated that the facility did not have a dietician during this timeframe, and that nursing was attempting to identify and address weight concerns. During another interview with the NHA and Employee 1 on March 20, 2024, at 2:24 PM, the aforementioned concerns were all shared again. The NHA indicated that the facility was without a dietician from September 15, 2023, until March 5, 2024.

Based on facility policy review, observations, clinical record reviews, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide respiratory care/oxygen services consistent with professional standards of practice for two of two residents reviewed for respiratory care (Residents 33 and 41).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: Review of facility policy, titled Noninvasive Ventilation (CPAP [in part]), with an implemented date of April 17, 2023, revealed Definitions: CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is a respiratory therapy intervention used to provide a patent airway during periods of sleep apnea [intermittent airflow blockage during sleep]. It uses air pressure generated by a machine, delivered through a tube into a mask that fits over the nose or mouth and 13. Follow manufacturer instructions for the frequency of cleaning/replacing filters [in part]. Review of Resident 33's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included sleep apnea (a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts) and atrial fibrillation (A-fib - an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow). Review of Resident 33's current physician orders revealed an order dated March 5, 2023, for CPAP for sleep, and an order dated April 4, 2023 for CPAP mask to be placed in appropriate storage bag when not in use. Observations of Resident 33's room on March 18, 2024, at 10:44 AM; March 19, 2024, at 1:08 PM; and March 20, 2024, at 9:38 AM, revealed Resident 33's CPAP mask was not in a storage bag and was laying on top of the CPAP machine, which was located on Resident 33's bedside dresser. Additional observations on those dates and times also revealed a clear, gallon container of distilled water sitting near the CPAP machine. The distilled water container was not full and had no date indicating when the container was opened. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on March 20, 2024, at 11:08 AM, she stated that Resident 33's CPAP mask should be stored in a bag when not in use and the distilled water should be dated when opened. Review of Resident 41's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included obstructive sleep apnea (intermittent airflow blockage during sleep), unspecified heart failure (condition that develops when your heart doesn't pump enough blood for your body's needs), and depression. Review of Resident 41's physician orders revealed the following orders: CPAP,continue with current settings at 8.0, dated March 9, 2023; Change CPAP mask and fine filter (light blue) every 14 days, dated February 28, 2023; and Resident requesting water level of CPAP to be checked at night and be refilled if needed every night shift, dated February 28, 2023. Observations of Resident 41's room on March 19, 2024, at 8:38 AM, and March 20, 2024, at 9:41 AM, revealed their CPAP machine to be sitting on their nightstand with a clear plastic gallon container of distilled water, approximately 25 percent full, with no date indicating when the container was opened.

Residents Affected - Few
Further review of the TAR revealed no other entries that the filter or tubing were changed. Review of Resident 41's clinical record progress notes for March 13, 2024, revealed a note that indicated the order was not completed because supplies were not available and that the Registered Nurse would notify Social Services. Further review of Resident 41's clinical record progress notes revealed no other documentation regarding obtaining the supplies and/or the filter and tubing being changed as ordered. During an interview with the NHA on March 20, 2024, at 10:54 AM, the aforementioned observations were shared as well as the concern that the documentation indicated that Resident 41's filter and tubing were not changed as ordered because of lack of supplies. The NHA indicated that the distilled water should have been dated when opened. She further indicated that she would look into the supply concern and the changing of the filter and tubing. In email communication received from the NHA on March 21, 2024, at 9:22 AM, she indicated: We do not have documentation to prove that the C-PAP tubing was changed. I do know we had a supply concern that weekend but it was communicated that when the supplies arrived Monday the tubing would be changed. However, we do not have documentation that it was done.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift.
Based on observations, facility policy review, clinical record review, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure there was sufficient staff to ensure residents attained or maintained the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident 29).
Findings Include: Review of facility policy, titled Call Lights: Accessibility and Timely Response, dated October 23, 2022, revealed All staff members who see or hear an activated call light are responsible for responding. If the staff member cannot provide what the resident desires, the appropriate personnel should be notified. Review of Resident 29's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included atrial fibrillation (A-fib- an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow) and hypertension (elevated blood pressure).

During an interview with Resident 29 on March 18, 2024, at 12:13 PM, she stated that staff do not always answer her call bell timely and, if they do, they often tell her they are busy. At that time, Resident 29 was noted to be in her gown, which she stated she slept in the night prior and had not yet received morning care. On March 18, 2024, at 12:51 PM, staff were observed passing out lunch trays. The surveyor was in the lounge right outside of Resident 29's room and, at that time, the surveyor overheard an unidentified staff member say to Resident 29 that they were busy passing trays right now. The surveyor immediately entered Resident 29's room, but the unidentified staff member had already exited. The surveyor asked Resident 29 what she asked the staff member for and if Resident 29 knew the staff member's name. Resident 29 stated she asked to use the bathroom and she thought it was Employee 12 who told her they were passing out trays right now. Continuous observations from 12:51 PM through 1:22 PM revealed no staff member assisting Resident 29 to the bathroom. At 1:23 PM, Resident 29 told the surveyor she still needed to use the bathroom and put her call light on at that time. Resident 29's call light was immediately responded to and she was assisted to the bathroom, 32 minutes after she initially asked to use the bathroom. On March 19, 2024, at 1:10 PM, the surveyor observed Resident 29's call light to be on. The call light was already on prior to the surveyor arriving to the nursing unit. At 1:18 PM, the surveyor spoke to Resident 29 who stated she was ringing for a drink, but that her family member just went and got it for her so she didn't have to wait anymore.

At 1:27 PM, Resident 29's call light was responded to by staff, 17 minutes after the surveyor noted the call light to be on. On March 20, 2024, at 2:45 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) was made aware of the aforementioned observations. She stated that she would have to look at the facility policy, but it is her expectation that a call light be responded to within 15 minutes. On March 20, 2024, at 5:15 PM, the NHA provided the call bell policy and stated Our policy does not address timely response or how long is expected to answer a call bell. In a follow-up interview with the NHA on March 21, 2024, at 10:18 AM, it was revealed that Employee 12 was not assigned to Resident 29's unit on March 18, 2024, so it was unable to be confirmed if that was the staff member who stated they were passing trays when Resident 29 requested to use the bathroom. At that time, the NHA again stated that it is her expectation for call bells to be responded to within 15 minutes. 28 Pa. Code 201.14 (a) Responsibility of licensee 28 Pa.
