**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, observation, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to provide care in a manner respectful of each resident's dignity for one resident (Resident 1), and
failed to provide care in a manner and environment that promotes each resident's quality of life by failing to
respond timely to residents' request for assistance as reported by two residents out of 11 sampled
(Residents 12 and 11).
Findings include:
A review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
which have included malignant neoplasm of the prostate, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, COVID-19,
bronchopneumonia, and clostridium difficile [C-diff] (a bacterium infection that causes an infection of the
colon).
A review of a nurses progress note dated February 11, 2024, at 1:19 AM, revealed that the resident was
positive for C - diff, and was placed on contact precautions, and began treatment, Vancomycin (antibiotic).
Observation on February 22, 2024, at approximately 11:20 AM, revealed that a metal apron on the wall
outside the resident's room, 101, containing personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. Continued
observation revealed 2 paper signs taped on the door to the resident's room. The first sign noted C-Difficile
requires special care with pink highlighted words, handwashing only and a line drawn to the information
stating that the C-diff spores are not killed by alcohol - based hand sanitizer. The second sign read Contact
precautions.
A second observation on February 22, 2024, at approximately 12:40 PM, that the above noted two signs
remained posted on the door to the resident's room.
Interview with alert and oriented Resident 1 on February 22, 2024, at approximately 1:50 PM, revealed that
the resident was aware of his diagnosis of c-diff, treatments, and safety precautions, but verified that he
would not like that information shared with others as noted on the signs on the door to his room.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), on February 22, 2024, at approximately 2:10 PM,
confirmed that signs identifying a individual medical condition, or resident care needs, should not have
been placed on the resident's door, visible to others.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of clinical records, select facility incident reports, and the facility's abuse prohibition
policy and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly investigate injuries of
unknown origin to rule out abuse, neglect, or mistreatment as a potential cause of the injury sustained by
one resident out of 18 sampled (Resident 19).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of the facility's policy, entitled Investigation of Abuse last reviewed by the facility March 16, 2023,
indicated that a complete investigation will be conducted. In case of injury of unknown origin, the facility will
try to determine the source of the injury and rule out neglect or abuse. When investigating injuries of
unknown origin the facility will interview staff and anyone coming in contact with the resident over the
course of 24 hours prior to the noted injury. The investigation will include the signed statements of these
contact people. Additionally, the facility will identify anyone who provided services to the resident during this
24 hour period and document the specific services provided and any unusual event occurring during the
delivery of service.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 19 had diagnoses. which included Alzheimer's
disease and osteoporosis.
An annual Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-standardized assessment completed at specific intervals
to identify specific resident care needs) dated September 8, 2023, indicated that the resident was severely
cognitively impaired, non-ambulatory, and required the assistance of two staff for bed mobility and transfers.
A late entry nurses note dated October 9, 2023, at 8:03 AM indicated that nursing observed Resident 19's
left lower extremity to present +2 edema and warmth. The resident did not express signs or symptoms of
pain when edema was assessed. The physician assistant was made aware. Staff were to monitor the
resident's left lower extremity and the physician assistant planned to see the resident on October 10, 2023;
staff were to call with any changes.
A physician order dated October 10, 2023, was noted to obtain a venous doppler to the left lower extremity
for left lower extremity edema, redness, warmth, and pain.
A nurses note dated October 10, 2023, at 2:04 PM indicated that the doppler study was completed and the
results were negative for DVT (deep vein thrombosis- blood clot in a deep vein) of the resident's left lower
extremity.
A late entry nurses note dated October 12, 2023, at 9:00 AM revealed that swelling was observed to the
resident's left lower extremity with no improvement with elevation. Nursing contacted the physician and an
order was received to obtain an Xray of the left lower extremity and a CBC (complete blood count). The
resident's representative made aware.
A nurses note dated October 13, 2023, at 9:02 AM revealed that the facility received the Xray results which
indicated that the resident had acute fractures of distal left tibia (shin bone) and fibula (calf bone). The MD
was made aware. A new order was received to send the resident to emergency room for evaluation.

A nurses note dated October 13, 2023, at 10:39 PM indicated that the resident returned from the
emergency room. The emergency room reported that orthopedics saw the resident and returned the bone
to its appropriate place and applied a splint. The resident will need to follow-up with ortho as outpatient
according to the discharge instructions.
Review of a facility investigation summary report dated October 12, 2023, indicated that swelling of the
resident's extremity was observed on October 10, 2023, in the morning and the provider was notified. A
doppler was ordered, and resident was seen by the medical provider on October 10, 2023. On October 12,
2023, the resident's leg was still swollen with no improvement, the medical provider was contacted, and
Xray of the left lower extremity was ordered. Xray results were positive for tibia/fibula fracture. Medical
provider was made aware and orders for urgent ortho consult. The resident was not able to provide details
related to the incident.
Review of the facility's summary and outcome of investigative findings revealed that staff witness
statements did not recall/indicate any potential mechanism or means of injury. The resident was noted to be
at increased risk for bone related injuries due to medical history including osteoporosis with contractures
and vitamin D deficiency. Possible mechanism of injury was noted to be not limited to transfers via Hoyer lift
to/from bed to chair, repositioning, and transport of resident in chair. Mandatory nursing education sessions
were to be scheduled for proper lift use and transfer/positioning of residents with contractures.
However, further review of the facility investigation and provided witness statements, failed to provide
documented evidence that the facility interviewed all staff and anyone coming in contact with the resident
over the course of 24 hours prior to when the signs of injury (edema and warmth) were first noted on
October 9, 2023. There was no documented evidence that all staff who provided care and services to the
resident during that time period were identified and that the specific services provided to the resident were
identified and documented, including any unusual event which occurred during the delivery of services prior
to the fracture.
Interview with the administrator and director of nursing on January 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM confirmed that
Resident 19 was non-ambulatory and totally dependent on staff for care. The NHA and DON confirmed that
the facility was unable to provide a completed thorough investigation to rule out abuse, neglect, or
mistreatment as a potential cause of Resident 19's injury of unknown origin, fractured lower leg.

comprehensive care plan goals and all information necessary to meet the resident's immediate needs were
communicated to the receiving health care institution.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on January 11, 2024, at
approximately 1:40 PM, confirmed that there was no evidence that the necessary information was
communicated to the receiving health care institution or provider upon transfer or discharge.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop
person-centered comprehensive care plans to meet the current needs and problems of three out of 18
residents sampled (Residents 33, 64, and 22).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included hypertensive heart disease.
A review of Resident 33's laboratory results report dated January 2, 2024, revealed that the resident had
tested positive for RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). However, the resident's care plan, in effect at the time
of the survey ending January 11, 2024, failed to reflect the resident's diagnosis of RSV and interventions to
treat and manage the resident's symptoms.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease with late onset and epileptic seizures.
A review of Resident 64's laboratory results report dated January 3, 2024, revealed that the resident tested
positive for RSV. However, the resident's care plan, in effect at the time of the survey ending January 11,
2024, failed to reflect the resident's diagnosis of RSV and interventions to treat and manage the resident's
symptoms.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on January 11, 2024, at
approximately 1:40 PM confirmed the facility failed to ensure that comprehensive care plans were
developed for Residents 33 and 64.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included depression.
A review of a nurse's note Employee 5, LPN, entered into the clinical record dated December 3, 2023, at
10:19 PM indicated that the resident's resident representative approached the desk and stated that he was
upset because the resident stated that he wanted to kill himself. Employee 5 (LPN) sat with the resident
and the resident stated, I'm just down in the dumps. One to one supervision and reassurance were offered
to resident. Resident stated,I would never hurt myself. Every 15 minute checks were initiated. The
registered nurse supervisor was made aware of the situation.
A nurses note dated December 4, 2023, at 1:43 PM indicated that Resident 22 stated that he feels safe and
that he does not want to harm himself or others. Nursing noted that the resident was resident resting
comfortably in bed watching television.

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
each resident received the necessary behavioral health care in a timely manner to attain or maintain the
highest practicable mental and psychosocial well-being for one of 18 residents sampled (Resident 25).
Findings include:
Review of clinical record of Resident 25 revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses including anxiety and depression.
A review of Resident 25's Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS - a federally mandated
standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated September 28, 2023,
revealed that the resident was cognitively intact.
Further review of Resident 25's clinical record revealed that the resident exhibited multiple behaviors,
including exit seeking and eloping from facility. Resident 25 was noted to display exit seeking behaviors
almost daily, throughout the month of September 2023 through end of the survey January 11, 2024,
according to a review of nursing progress notes.
Review of Resident 25's care plan, initiated by the facility on January 21, 2023, indicated that the resident
has a behavioral problem regarding exit seeking/ elopement risk . However, the resident's care plan did not
address the resident's specific behavioral health needs or the specific behavioral symptoms that were
noted in the nursing documentation. According to nursing progress notes and the plan of care, the
resident's exit seeking increases when family visits or routine changes. However, the care plan failed to
include approaches developed to address this triggering factor.
Review of a Psychological evaluation dated October 17, 2023, indicated that Resident 25 continued to
express the desire to return home and recommended that Resident 25 would benefit from continued
psychological services every 6 months.
Further review of resident's clinical record revealed no further documented visits from psychological
services after October 17, 2023, through the end of survey January 11, 2024.
The facility failed to demonstrate that qualified staff, with the competencies and skills necessary, had
provided appropriate services and that the facility had implemented individualized approaches to the
resident's care, including direct care and activities, directed toward understanding, preventing, relieving,
and/or accommodating the resident's distress or loss of abilities, including the resident's desire to return
home.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), on January 11, 2024, at approximately
10:00 a.m., the NHA was unable to provide evidence that Resident 25 was being provided the necessary
behavioral health services.

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and
implement an individualized person-centered plan to address a resident's dementia-related behavioral
symptoms for one out of 18 residents reviewed (Resident 57).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident 57's, clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses to include vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances (a condition characterized by
progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract
thinking, and often with personality change).
A review of Resident 57's Significant Change Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS - a federally mandated
standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated December 13, 2023,
revealed that the resident was severely cognitively impaired.
A review of behavior tracking dated from May 2023 to December 2023, revealed that the resident displayed
behaviors of repeat movements, yelling, and screaming, kicking, and hitting, pushing, grabbing, abusive
language, threatening behavior, and rejection of care.
Further review of the resident's clinical record revealed that staff did not document the specific interventions
attempted to address the above noted resident behaviors along with the effectiveness of any interventions
employed to reduce, manage or modify the resident's dementia related behavioral symptoms.
The resident's current care plan, included a problem/need of the potential for complications with cognition
related to dementia. This problem area was not initiated until January 3, 2024, despite the resident's
admission diagnosis in January 2023, and tracking of behavioral symptoms from May 2023 through
December 2023, noting multiple behavioral symptoms. The care plan did identify the specific behaviors that
the resident exhibits and the interventions designed to address those behaviors.
The facility failed to develop and implement an individualized person-centered interdisciplinary plan to
address, modify and manage this resident's dementia-related behaviors. The resident's care plan for
dementia failed to include individualized interventions based on an assessment of the resident's
preferences, social/past life history, customary routines, and interests in an effort to manage the resident's
dementia-related behavioral symptoms.
Interview with Nursing Home Administrator on January 11, 2024, at approximately 1:40 PM, confirmed the
facility was unable to provide evidence of the development and implementation of an individualized
person-centered plan to address dementia-related behaviors.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and pharmacy recommendations and staff interview it was determined that the
pharmacist failed to identify irregularities in the drug regimen of one resident (Resident 57) out of 18
residents reviewed.
Findings include:
A review of Resident 57's, clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses to include vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances (a condition characterized by
progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract
thinking, and often with personality change).
A review of the resident's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated May 16, 2023, for Seroquel (an
antipsychotic medication) 25 mg by mouth at bedtime for altered mental status.
Review of a consultant pharmacist drug regimen reviews conducted from May 2023 to January 2024
revealed that the pharmacist failed to identify the lack of a clinically supportable diagnosis for Resident 57's
antipsychotic drug use.
Resident 57's Medication Administration Records (MAR) for December 2023 through January 2024,
revealed that the resident continued to receive Seroquel daily for altered mental status.
An interview with the Director of Nursing on January 11, 2024, at approximately 1:40 PM, confirmed that
the pharmacist failed to identify this drug irregularity in the resident's drug regimen.

Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of clinical records and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
that one resident's drug regimen was free of unnecessary antibiotic drugs for one out of 18 residents
sampled (Resident 64).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 64 was admitted into the facility on February 24, 2023,
and has diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia and chronic kidney failure.
A review of nursing progress notes dated January 3, 2024, at 2:30 PM revealed that the resident was
observed to have light hematuria (blood in urine) with a foul smell. The resident was unable to verbalize
discomfort due to cognitive impairment.
A physician order dated January 3, 2024, was noted to obtain a urine analysis and culture and sensitivity
(microscopic study of the urine culture performed to determine the presence of pathogenic bacteria in
patients with suspected urinary tract infection [UTI]).
A review of a laboratory report for a urinalysis dated January 3, 2024, revealed that the results were
abnormal with blood, protein, nitrates and bacteria in the sample.
A review of laboratory test results dated January 4, 2024, at 12:26 PM, revealed multiple flora suggesting
contamination of the sample or colonization. The report noted that clinical correlation was needed and to
consider repeat testing if symptoms worsen.
A review of McGeer's Criteria, used by the facility as part of antibiotic stewardship, dated January 4, 2024,
indicated that the resident had a single symptom of fever and leukocytosis (higher than normal level of
white blood cells in the blood) and no other symptoms of a UTI and the UTI criteria was not met to treat for
a UTI.
A physician order dated January 4, 2024, at 7:13 PM was note for Keflex (antibiotic medication) 500
milligrams (mg) by mouth four times daily for UTI, although the urine culture and sensitivity report was
inconclusive.
A review of the resident's medication administration record for the month of January 2024, revealed that the
resident received 24 doses of Keflex, with the last dose received on January 10, 2024.
There was no corresponding physician documentation to indicate the clinical necessity of initiating antibiotic
treatment with Keflex to treat the resident's suspected urinary tract infection prior to receiving accurate
results of a repeat culture and sensitivity test.
At the time of the survey ending January 11, 2024, there was no evidence that a repeat urinalysis was
completed.
Interview with the Infection Preventionist on January 10, 2024, at 9:45 AM, confirmed that the
administration of Keflex was not clinically justified for treatment of Resident 64's urinary tract infection.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident
was free from unnecessary psychoactive medications by failing to attempt a gradual dose reduction, failing
to ensure the presence of documented clinical rationale for the continued use of psychotropic medication
and failing to monitor for potential adverse consequences of psychoactive drug use for two residents of 18
residents reviewed. (Resident 57 and 51)
Findings include:
A review of Resident 57's, clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses to include vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances (a condition characterized by
progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract
thinking, and often with personality change).
The resident was transferred to the hospital on May 8, 2023, for a change in mental status and returned to
the facility on May 16, 2023, after being treated for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (difficultly breathing
causing a lack of oxygen in the blood) and a urinary tract infection.
Review of Resident 57's clinical revealed a physician's order dated May 16, 2023, for Seroquel (an
antipsychotic medication) 25 mg by mouth at bedtime for altered mental status.
A review of the resident's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that the facility had been
monitoring the resident for potential adverse side effects for the newly prescribed antipsychotic medication.
A review of a Pharmacy Consultation Report dated May 17, 2023, indicated the resident had an acute
illness and an antipsychotic was initiated due to worsening behavioral symptoms. The report noted that if
acute illness has resolved, and behaviors have subsided, consider a gradual taper to discontinuation (of the
antipsychotic drug).
A review of the facility's CRNP (certified registered nurse practitioner) response to the recommendation
revealed that the CRNP solely noted that the resident is stable.
The CRNP or prescribing physician failed to document the resident specific clinical rationale for continuing
the newly prescribed antipsychotic.
A review of the resident's clinical record revealed revealed one incident documented of the resident record
that she had a behavior of yelling out on October 3, 2023.
There was no documentation of any attempted non-pharmacological interventions to address the resident's
behavior on that occasion.
A nursing note dated November 12, 2023, at 2:23 AM revealed that the resident continued to ring her call
bell all evening and night. She rang the bell, to make sure her bell worked, have her blanket put over her
feet, and because she thinks she has already slept for 12 hours.

Residents Affected - Some
A review of behavior tracking dated November 2023, revealed from November 1, 2023 through November
17, 2023, the resident only had two incidents of yelling out. There was no documentation of any attempted
non-pharmacological interventions to address the resident's behavior on those occassions.
A physician orders dated November 18, 2023, was noted to increase the resident's dosage of Seroquel, to
Seroquel 12.5 mg in the morning for paranoid behaviors in addition to the 25 mg she was already receiving
at night.
A review of the resident's clinical record revealed no documentation of paranoid behaviors.
Interview with the acting Nursing Home Administrator on January 11, 2024, at approximately 1:40 PM
confirmed that nursing staff failed to record adequate monitoring of potential side effects and confirmed the
absence of physician documentation of the clinical necessity for the resident's antipsychotic drug use and
dose increase.
A review of the Resident 51's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses which included late onset Alzheimer's Disease (a brain disorder that slowly
destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) and anxiety.
Current physician orders were noted for Risperidone (antipsychotic medication) 0.25 mg (milligram) one
tablet by mouth daily at 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and Risperidone 0.5 mg one tablet daily at 8:00 PM related
to dementia with other behavioral disturbances.
Pharmacy consultations dated February 2023, July 2023, and October 2023, revealed that the pharmacist
recommended a gradual dose reduction (GDR) of the physician prescribed medication Risperidone. The
pharmacist identified that the resident had been receiving Risperidone since September 16, 2021, for
expressions or indications of distress related to dementia, and a dose reduction was never attempted.
The response documentation provided to pharmacy solely noted that the resident is stable and failed to
include resident specific clinical rationale for declination of a dose reduction attempt.
The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) response documented noted that the resident's power
of attorney (POA) was not in agreement with a reduction. However, failed to include prescriber clinical
justification for the continued use of the antipsychotic medication and its benefit to the resident and how it
maintained or improved the resident's functional abilities.
A review of a pharmacy consultation dated March 2023, revealed that the pharmacist identified that there
was no documentation of specific target behaviors being treated requiring treatment with the antipsychotic
drug or individualized behavioral interventions attempted to alleviate and behavioral symptoms in the
resident's medical record. Recommendations to update the person-centered care plan and medical record
to include specific target behaviors and the frequency and impact of the behaviors. The pharmacist
identified that the diagnosis alone is insufficient to justify the use of an antipsychotic medication.
The resident's clinical record lacked documented clinical rationale from the resident's attending physician
for administering antipsychotic drug, based upon an assessment of the resident's current condition and
therapeutic goals and consistent with manufacturer's recommendations and clinical

A review of a psychiatric consultation report dated August 7, 2023, at 9:45 AM, revealed that the resident
was seen on that day for a psychiatric evaluation, to evaluate mental status and adjust medications for
behavioral disturbance. The consult report noted that her mood has been stable, and she has not had any
distressing behavior. Appeared to be more frail than prior the resident was hospitalized the month prior for a
stroke. Her mood was calm and content and was cooperative with the staff. The report noted that the
resident has been stable with no recent behavioral abnormalities, easily redirectable when she was
sundowning.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Documentation Survey Report v2 intervention of monitoring behavior symptoms, dated from
September 2023 through January 2024, revealed staff observed that the resident displayed no behaviors.
A review of the facility's Behavioral Tracking for use of an antipsychotic medication dated from September
2023 until December 2023, revealed no behaviors documented requiring continued treatment with
Risperidone medication.
A review of the clinical record revealed that the resident's dose of Risperidone was increased on November
9, 2023, despite the recommendation from pharmacist to attempt a GDR.
A review of a psychiatric consultation report dated December 11, 2023, at 3:00 PM, revealed that the
resident was seen on that day for psychiatric evaluation, to evaluate mental status and adjust medications
for behavioral disturbances. The consult report noted that Risperidone dose was increased on November 9,
2023, to better manage distressing and irritable behavior after lunch time and into the afternoon. Staff
reports that the resident's mood and behavior have improved with the medication adjustment. The report
noted that there was a recent up-tick in distressing behavior that has subsided with the increase in the
Risperdal dose, more easily re-directed now when she has sundowning.
When reviewed during the survey ending January 11, 2024, the resident's clinical record, documentation
survey report and behavior tracking failed to reflect the above behaviors noted in the psychiatric
consultation report.
An interview with the nursing home administrator (NHA) and director of nursing (DON) on January 11,
2024, at approximately 1: 00 PM confirmed no attempts at gradually reducing the dose of Risperidone had
been made and confirmed that there was no documented evidence of the clinical assessments and
prescriber documentation identifying the justification for the use of an antipsychotic medication.

Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, test tray results, resident and staff interviews, and test tray results it was
determined that the facility failed to serve meals at safe and palatable temperatures.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
According to the federal regulatory guidance at 483.60(i)-(2) Food safety requirements - the definition of
Danger Zone, found under the Definitions section, is food temperatures above 41 degrees Fahrenheit and
below 135 degrees Fahrenheit that allow rapid growth of pathogenic microorganisms that can cause
foodborne illness.
During an interview on January 9, 2024, at 10:47 AM, Resident 12 stated that the food served was rarely
ever hot, and she will often send it back to be reheated. She mentioned that she likes vegetables but could
never eat them due to being mushy or not cooked.
During an interview on January 9, 2024, at 11:00 AM, Resident 29 stated that the food has gone downhill
and always comes out cold. She mentioned that she spoke with dietary staff related to a steam table and
has voiced concerns during resident council meetings about the temperature of the food.
During an interview on January 9, 2024, at 11:25 AM, Resident 13 stated that the food could be better, and
the temperature is never hot.
During an interview on January 10, 2024, at 9:27 AM, Resident 39 stated that the food is not the greatest
and comes out cold.
Review of December 2023 Resident Food Committee minutes revealed residents voiced concerns that food
temperatures of hot food were better but meals (hot foods) were still sometimes cold.
During interview with residents (Residents 29, 46, 26, 49, and 16) during a group meeting on January 10,
2024 at 10:30 AM, the residents reported that hot meals are often served cold and unpalatable.
A test tray performed on the 100 Nursing Unit on January 10, 2024, at 12:10 PM revealed that the planned
hot meal served was beef brisket, mashed potatoes, and Asian vegetables.
At 12:25 PM, at the time the last resident was served, a test tray was completed and yielded the following
results: beef brisket was 112 degrees Fahrenheit, mashed potatoes were 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and
Asian vegetables were at 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
The hot food tasted lukewarm and was not palatable at the temperatures served.
Interview with the nursing home administrator (NHA) on January 10, 2024, at 1:15 PM, confirmed that food
was to be served at safe and palatable temperatures.

Ensure meals and snacks are served at times in accordance with resident’s needs, preferences, and
requests. Suitable and nourishing alternative meals and snacks must be provided for residents who want to
eat at non-traditional times or outside of scheduled meal times.
Based on review of select facility policy and the minutes from Residents' Council meetings, and resident
and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to routinely offer bedtime snacks to residents
as desired.
Findings include:
A review of facility policy titled Residents Snacks reviewed March 16, 2023, revealed that bedtime snacks
will be offered to residents daily.
During a group meeting held on January 10, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., with five (5) alert and oriented residents,
five of five residents (Residents 29, 46, 26, 49, and 16) stated that they have not received bedtime snacks
in a very long time.
The residents stated that they have repeatedly brought this particular complaint to the facility staff's
attention without resolution to date.
During an interview on January 10, 2024, at 2 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of
Nursing were unable to verify that residents are routinely offered and provided snacks at bedtime as
preferred by each resident on nightly basis.

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 maintain acceptable
practices for the storage and service of food to prevent the potential for contamination and microbial growth
in food, which increased the risk of food-borne illness in the food and nutrition services department and one
of two resident pantries.
Findings include:
Food safety and inspection standards for safe food handling indicate that everything that comes in contact
with food must be kept clean and food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. Safe steps in food
handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. You cannot always see, smell,
or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness according to the USDA (The United States Department of
Agriculture, also known as the Agriculture Department, is the U.S. federal executive department responsible
for developing and executing federal laws related to food).
During the initial tour of the food and nutrition services department with the foodservice director (FSD)
conducted on January 9, 2024, at 10:00 AM the following unsanitary practices with the potential to
introduce contaminants into food and increase the potential for food-borne illness were identified:
There was a build-up of debris in the ceiling light shields located above the two-door refrigerator, trayline,
handwashing sink, spice rack area, and food preparation area were dust covered. The ceiling vents and
ceiling blocks in these areas were also dust covered.
The hood vents located above the stoves had a thick layer dust and were in need of cleaning.
The perimeter of the floors throughout the kitchen were visibly soiled and had an accumulation of debris.
Uncovered bowls of applesauce were being stored in the roll-in refrigerator.
There was a build-up of a chalky brownish colored substance (identified by the FSD as limescale) on the
outside surface of the dishwasher.
The exterior surfaces of two garbage cans near the trayline were heavily soiled and in need of cleaning.
The interior surface of several hot beverage mugs identified as clean were stained with a brownish colored
residue.
Interview with the foodservice director (FSD) at this time confirmed that the food and nutrition services
department was to be maintained in a sanitary manner. The FSD also confirmed that at the present time
the steamer (used to cook vegetables and other food items), the upper portion of the convection oven, and
the trayline steamtable (one of five wells not heating up) needed repair. The FSD confirmed that a plan to
cook items that would normally be cooked in the steamer on the stove top was in place.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, select facility policy, CDC and Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines,
observations, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to follow infection control practices
designed to deter spread of RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) infections in the facility.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
Review of the facility's policy entitled Management of Respiratory Syncytial Virus last reviewed by the
facility on March 16, 2023, indicated it is the policy of the facility to ensure that proper and appropriate
infection control principles are utilized to help decrease the risk of transmission of RSV. RSV is a highly
contagious respiratory virus that can affect any age but is greater risk for older adults. It is easily spread
through air uninfected respiratory droplets or through direct contact. The use of proper infection control
principles can help decrease the risk of transmission of RSV. Further it was indicated the nurse will observe
residents for signs and symptoms that may be consistent with upper respiratory tract infections but could be
diagnosis RSV. The facility we'll follow testing guidance for RSV per state and local guidance in accordance
with physician's orders. Infection control principles will be followed to decrease the risk of transmission
based on federal state and local guidance. Residents testing positive for RSD will be placed on
transmission based precautions for 10 days. Symptoms persisting past 10 days require an evaluation from
provider to clear transmission based precaution status.
According to PA HAN 720 initially dated September 29, 2023, testing should be used to diagnose
respiratory infections due to the similarity of symptoms. Virus identification is crucial for making decisions
regarding cohorting, implementing treatment, among other interventions. During increased respiratory virus
activity, facilities are advised to use comprehensive respiratory panels to determine if multiple pathogens
are circulating in the facility.
According to CDC guidelines when an acute respiratory infection is identified in a resident it is important to
take rapid action to prevent the spread to others in the facility. Further it is indicated to test anyone with
respiratory illness signs and symptoms. The selection of the diagnostic tests will depend on the suspected
cause of the infection. The facility should investigate for potential respiratory virus spread among residents
and preform active surveillance to identify any additional ill residents using symptom screening and
evaluating potential exposures.
A review of an RSV line listing revealed the facility had an outbreak of RSV beginning on December 21,
2023, in the 100 hall nursing unit with Resident 34.
The following residents tested positive for RSV after the initial outbreak:
Resident 63 on December 22, 2023
Resident 61 on December 24, 2023
Resident 33 on January 2, 2024
Resident 64 on January 3, 2024.

Resident 223 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was positive for RSV on admission.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of these clinical records revealed that the facility did not implement additional active respiratory
surveillance on the residents once the outbreak began to promptly identify any additional respiratory
illnesses.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 47's clinical record, who resides in the 100 hall nursing unit, revealed that the resident
began to experience respiratory symptoms of a cough and congestion on December 30, 2023.
A nursing note dated January 1, 2024, at 7:00 AM revealed that the resident continued to have respiratory
symptoms of a moist cough, moderate amounts of phlegm, a temperature of 99.1 degrees, and rhonchi
(course sounds in the lungs caused by constricted airways). Nursing notes revealed that the resident
continued to have respiratory symptoms from January 2, 2024 through January 7, 2024.
A review of Resident 46's clinical record, who resides on the 100 hall nursing unit, revealed on December
31, 2023, the resident began to experience cough. Nursing noted that the resident continued to experience
a non-productive cough and cold like symptoms from January 1, 2024, through January 11, 2024.
A review of Resident 57's clinical record, who resides on the 100 hall nursing unit, revealed that on January
1, 2024, the resident began to experience respiratory symptoms of a cough.
Nursing noted on January 2, 2024, at 1:00 AM that the resident was having a coughing fit and a hard time
clearing her phlegm. Nursing notes revealed that from January 3, 2024, through January 11, 2024, the
resident continued to experience respiratory symptoms as noted above.
The facility failed to perform testing on the residents who were experiencing multiple respiratory symptoms
to promptly determine if the residents had contracted RSV during the current outbreak and to prevent
further spread throughout the facility.
A review a of resident council meeting minutes dated December 29, 2023, revealed that the residents in
attendance at the meeting raised a concern about residents not being tested for RSV. The Resident Council
asked the facility why residents are not being tested for RSV if they have symptoms and there are RSV
infections in the facility. The DON (director of nursing) replied that it was up to the doctor and RSV is viral
and just has to run its course.
An observation on January 9, 2024, at approximately 10:45 AM revealed a red bin intended for disposal of
used/contaminated PPE (personal protective equipment) in the doorway to room [ROOM NUMBER].
Resident 233 resides in the room and was positive for RSV. The red bin was overflowing with PPE and dirty
used contaminated PPE was hanging outside, overflowing from the bin.
An interview with the Infection Preventionist on January 10, 2024, at approximately 10:35 AM revealed she
stated that residents that were experiencing respiratory symptoms should have been tested since the
facility had an RSV outbreak.
An interview with the Director of Nursing on January 11, 2024, at approximately 1:40 PM confirmed the
facility failed to implement policies and procedures to prevent the potential spread of RSV.
