Based on review of facility policy, clinical records, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed
to make certain that the necessary resident information was communicated to the receiving health care
provider upon transfer to the hospital for three of 18 residents reviewed (Residents R1, R3, and R77).
Findings include: Review of facility policy entitled Transfer or Discharge, Emergency dated 11/3/25,
indicated Should it become necessary to make emergency transfer or discharge to a hospital or other
related institution, our facility will prepare a transfer packet to send with the resident that includes; face
sheet, administration record, order summary, bed hold policy, immunization report, recent weight and vitals,
copy of advance directives, and complete e-interact form. Resident R1's clinical record revealed an
admission date of 8/27/25, with diagnoses that included diabetes (a health condition caused by the body's
inability to produce enough insulin), atrial fibrillation (A-Fib - irregular and often rapid heartbeat that can
lead to stroke, heart failure, and other complications), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD a condition that prevents airflow to the lungs resulting in difficulty breathing). Resident R1's progress notes
revealed a note dated 8/29/25, indicating transfer to the hospital. The clinical record lacked evidence that
his/her necessary clinical information was communicated to the receiving health care provider. Resident
R3's clinical record revealed an admission date of 12/30/24, with diagnoses that included hypertension
(high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), and heart failure (a condition where the heart
cannot supply the body with enough blood). Resident R3's progress notes revealed notes dated 5/18/25,
8/11/25, and 8/14/25, indicating transfers to the hospital. The clinical record lacked evidence that his/her
necessary clinical information was communicated to the receiving health care provider. Review of Resident
R77's clinical record revealed an admission date of 8/25/25, with diagnoses that included weakness,
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and chronic respiratory failure. Resident R77's progress notes revealed a
note dated 9/5/25, indicating transfer to the hospital. The clinical record lacked evidence that his/her
necessary clinical information was communicated to the receiving health care provider. During an interview
on 11/19/25, at 9:09 a.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that Residents R1, R3, and R77s clinical
records lacked evidence that the necessary clinical information was provided to the receiving healthcare
provider upon transfer and when the transfers occurred clinical information should have been provided to
the receiving healthcare provider. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1) Management 28 Pa. Code 201.29(c.3) (2)

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, observations, and staff interview, it was determined
that the facility failed to promote cleanliness and help prevent the spread of infection regarding respiratory
care equipment for two of four residents reviewed for respiratory care (Residents R4 and R49).Findings
include: Review of facility policy entitled Oxygen Administration dated 11/3/25, indicated Concentrator filters
cleaned weekly on night shift. Review of resident R4's clinical record revealed an admission date of 8/8/25,
with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (a disease that obstructs air
flow from the lungs), heart failure (a condition where the heart cannot supply the body with enough blood),
and diabetes (a health condition that is caused by the body's inability to produce enough insulin). Review of
Resident R4's physician's orders revealed an order dated 8/8/25, for oxygen between two and four liters via
nasal cannula (oxygen tubing that has prongs that go into the nostrils and loops around the ears to secure
in place to ensure adequate oxygen delivery) continuously. Review of Resident R4's care plan for COPD
revealed an intervention of oxygen between two and four liters continuously. Review of Resident R4's tasks
(an area in the clinical record where nursing assistant document) revealed a task for oxygen tubing/cannula
change/concentrator filter cleaned. Observations on 11/17/25, at 1:55 p.m. and again at 2:25 p.m. revealed
Resident R4 lying in his/her bed with oxygen being administered. Further observations revealed a filter on
the back of his/her oxygen concentrator that had a large amount of a fluffy white substance covering the
filter. Review of Resident R49's clinical record revealed an admission date of 12/5/25, with diagnoses that
included COPD, congestive heart failure (the inability of the heart to maintain an adequate supply of blood
to organs and tissues), and chronic respiratory failure (a condition where your lungs don't exchange air
properly). Review of Resident R49's physician's orders revealed an order dated 4/15/19, for oxygen at two
liters via nasal cannula every evening and night shift. Review of Resident R49's care plan for congestive
heart failure revealed an intervention of oxygen at two liters per minute at hour of sleep. Review of Resident
R49's tasks revealed a task for oxygen tubing/cannula change/concentrator filter cleaned. Observations on
11/17/25, at 1:08 p.m. and again at 2:25 p.m. revealed Resident R4's oxygen concentrator sitting in his/her
room with the nasal cannula lying over the concentrator and the nasal cannula touching the floor. Further
observations revealed a filter on the back of his/her oxygen concentrator that had a large amount of a fluffy
white substance covering the filter. During an interview on 11/17/25, at 2:32 p.m. Registered Nurse (RN)
Employee E1 confirmed that Resident's R4 and R49's oxygen concentrator filters were covered in a large
amount of a white fluffy substance and that Resident R49's nasal cannula was touching the floor. RN
Employee E1 also confirmed that the oxygen concentrator filters should be clean, and the nasal cannula
should not be on the floor. 28 Pa. Code 211.10(c) Resident care policies 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(5)
