In an interview on March 11, 2025, at 1:11 p.m., the resident stated that she was willing to walk with staff but that staff had not offered to assist her with ambulation regularly. Review of the nurse aide task record revealed no evidence to support that staff offered to assist the resident with the ambulation RNP on February 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 26, and 27, 2025, and March 1, 2, 5, and 8, 2025.

(Resident 99) Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 99 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included dementia, anxiety, and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident had moderate cognitive impairment, but could make her needs known.

The interventions were for staff to ensure the resident was upright prior to all oral intake, provide supervision of all meals, and have the resident out of bed and in the dining room for meals. On March 5, 2025, staff noted that Resident 99 experienced a choking episode that required mechanical assistance from staff. Review of a speech therapy evaluation dated March 6, 2025, indicated the resident would benefit from proper positioning and supervision with meals. On March 7, 2025, the nurse practitioner noted that Resident 99 was to sit in an upright position for meals and continue with speech therapy. Observations on March 9, 2025, from 12:10 p.m. to 12:35 p.m., and March 11, 2025, from 12:07 p.m. to 12:30 p.m., revealed that the resident was lying in her bed eating her meal with the head of the bed at less than a 45-degree angle; her head was just above the level of the meal tray on the bedside table.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review and policy review, it was determined that the facility failed to assess residents who were incontinent of bladder to determine the cause of the incontinence or if normal bladder function could be restored for two of 32 sampled residents. (Residents 9 and 87) Findings include: Review of the facility policy entitled, Urinary Continence and Incontinence - Assessment and Management, last reviewed January 7, 2025, revealed that the facility was to assess residents who were incontinent of bladder, including determining the type of incontinence and any clinical factors contributing to the incontinence, so residents' normal bladder function could potentially be restored. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had diagnoses that included heart failure and muscle wasting. At the time of admission, the physician assessed the resident and noted that he had previously been continent of bladder. According to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated February 18, 2025, the resident had no cognitive impairment, was able to communicate needs, and was always incontinent of bladder. Nurse aide records since admission confirmed that the resident was completely incontinent of bladder. There was no documented evidence that the facility ever assessed the resident for the cause of their incontinence or evaluated to determine if normal bladder function could be restored. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had diagnoses that included a urinary tract infection and muscle wasting. According to a nursing assessment on the day of admission, the resident was continent of bladder. According to her MDS assessment, dated January 24, 2025, the resident was able to communicate her needs, required assistance from staff for mobility, and had become frequently incontinent of bladder. From February 14 through 26, 2025, the resident was hospitalized due to a change in condition. According to a nursing assessment when she was readmitted to the facility, the resident's continence again declined to being completely incontinent. This was confirmed by a review of the nurse aide records. There was no documented evidence that the facility ever assessed the resident for the cause of their incontinence or evaluated to determine if normal bladder function could be restored. 28 Pa.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to store food under sanitary conditions in the kitchen. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Observation of the kitchen on March 9, 2025, at 9:54 a.m., revealed the following: In the walk in refrigerator, there was a rolling storage rack that contained raw meat. There was a pan of raw chicken that was stored above a pan of cooked roast beef. The same rolling storage rack also held pans of raw turkey, cubed beef, whole beef tenderloins, and ground meat. The raw poultry (chicken and turkey) were stored above the raw beef, which required a lower internal cooking temperature than raw poultry. In an interview on March 12, 2025, at 9:33 a.m., the Administrator confirmed that the raw meat was not stored properly and raw poultry should not have been stored above cooked food or raw beef. 28 Pa.
