Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on review of facility policy, staff interviews, and observations it was determined that the facility failed
to provide adequate supervision to possible prevent elopement and accidents for one of eleven residents
(Resident R5).Findings Include: Review of facility policy titled, Medication Administration with a revision
date of December 2024 states, Policy- Medications are administered by licensed nurses, or other staff who
are legally authorized to do so in this state, as ordered by the physician and in accordance with
professional standards of practice, in a manner to prevent contamination or infection. Continued review of
the facility policy states, .11. Administer medication as ordered in accordance with manufacturer
specifications. Review of the facility policy titled, Elopement and Wandering Residents with a revision date
of November 2024 states, Policy- This policy ensures that residents who exhibit wandering behaviors
and/or are at risk for elopement receive adequate supervision to prevent accidents, and receive care in
accordance with their person-centered plan of care addressing the unique factors contributing to wandering
or elopement risk. Further review of the policy states, Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: 1.
The facility is equipped with door alarms to help avoid elopements. 2. Staff are to be vigilant in responding
to alarms in a timely manner.3. The facility shall establish and utilize a systematic approach to monitoring
and managing residents at risk for elopement or unsafe wandering, including identification and assessment
of risk, evaluation and analysis of hazards and risks, implementing interventions to reduce hazards and
risks, and monitoring for effectiveness and modifying interventions when necessary. Observation was made
of the third floor nursing unit at 10:00 a.m. on November 25, 2025. During the observation Resident R5 was
observed in bed with a breathing treatment on. The resident had a clear medication cup at bedside with
about six to eight pills in it. The surveyor went and identified the licensed nurse Employee E8 who
confirmed she had poured the medications but Resident R5 requested to have her breathing treatment first.
Licensed nurse Employee E8 confirmed Resident R5 does not self-administer. Observation of the second
floor nursing unit on November 25, 2025 at 10:33 a.m. revealed an elevator with a lock that needed a key to
get up and down. After identifying the locked unit the surveyor went to the nurses station to ask for the key
to access to elevator to exit. A nursing staff sitting behind the desk said it's probably in that black box over
there and pointed towards the elevator. The surveyor began to walk towards the elevator to look for the key
when a nurse aide, Employee E12 stated, Here I will show you, it's not supposed to be there, but oh look
here it is. Employee E12 at 10:33 a.m. got me to the key from the grievance form box located to the right of
the elevator on the wall. The wall was visible to all residents and visitors at the facility. Above the black box
there was a white paper sign that stated, Please take the key back to the nurse's station. Interview held with
the Nursing Home Administrator Employee E1, the Director of Nursing Employee E2, and the assistance
director of nursing Employee E4 revealed that the key lock was implemented as a second step to ensure
residents were unable to access the elevators. Employee E1 explained that the resident's wander guards
(safety mechanism that locks doors and elevators) are what alerts staff that the residents is too close to the
elevator or in jeopardy of eloping. Employee E4 stated that the key was implemented some time ago
because staff were becoming desensitized to the wanderguards alarming from residents. 28 Pa. Code
