Based on review of clinical records, observations, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain dignity during a dressing change for one of two residents with pressure ulcers requiring wound care reviewed (Resident R31).
Findings include: Review of Resident R31's clinical record revealed an admission date of 3/22/25, with diagnoses that included fractured right femur, heart failure, dementia and high blood pressure. Review of Resident R31's physician's orders dated 5/08/25, included an order to cleanse the coccyx wound and apply silvercell to the wound and cover with border foam. Observation of wound care on 5/28/25, at 9:05 a.m. revealed that the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E1 placed the new dressing on Resident R31 and then proceeded to date the dressing while on Resident R31. During an interview on 5/28/25, at 9:20 a.m. LPN Employee E1 confirmed he/she dated the dressing while on Resident R31 and should have dated the dressing prior to placing it on the resident. 28 Pa.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on review of clinical records and Minimum Data set (MDS - federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care), and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that MDS assessments accurately reflected the status of one of 15 residents reviewed (Resident R18).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: MDS instructions for section P0200 Alarms subsection E Wander / Elopement Alarm indicated to identify all alarms that were used at any time (day or night) during the seven-day look-back period and to code the frequency of use as not used, used less than daily, or used daily. The MDS instructions further indicated that a wander / elopement alarm includes devices such as bracelets, pins/buttons worn on the resident's clothing, sensors in shoes, or building/unit exits sensors worn by/attached to the resident that activates an alarm and/or alert staff when the resident nears or exits a specific area of the building. This includes devices that are attached to the resident's assistive device (e.g., walker, wheelchair, cane) or other belongings. Resident R18's clinical record revealed an admission date of 6/6/24, with diagnoses that included encephalopathy (a group of conditions that cause problems with the brain that can appear as confusion, memory loss, and personality changes), seizures, and pleural effusion (buildup of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside your lungs). Resident R18's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 8/1/24, for an alarming security bracelet to be worn at all times. Review of treatment administration records for February 2025 revealed staff signage indicating the placement of an alarming security bracelet was checked every shift for the entire month. A quarterly MDS with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 2/10/25, revealed that section P0200E was coded as Not Used. During an interview on 5/29/25, at 2:32 p.m. Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator confirmed that the 2/10/25, quarterly MDS was coded incorrectly regarding the usage of a wander / elopement alarm and should have been coded as Used Daily. 28 Pa.

Observation on 5/27/25, at 2:00 p.m. and again on 5/28/25, at 8:57 a.m. revealed Resident R15 lying in bed with supplemental oxygen in place and the oxygen concentrator liter flow set at 3.5 lpm. During an interview on 5/28/25, at 9:00 a.m. Licensed Practical Nurse Employee E2 confirmed that Resident R15's oxygen concentrator was on and set at 3.5 lpm and was not in accordance with the physician's order dated 1/26/25, for oxygen at 1 lpm. During an interview on 5/29/25, at 3:00 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator indicated that Resident R15 messes with his concentrator and changes the settings. Facility was unable to provide any evidence that despite knowing this, they implemented routine interventions to verify concentrator settings are according to physician's orders. 28 Pa.
