F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Number of residents sampled: Residents Affected - Few Number of residents cited: Based on review of facility policy, resident record, investigation documents, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to report an allegation of neglect for one of four sampled residents (Resident R33).Findings include:A review of the facility Resident Protection From Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment Or Exploitation policy dated 6/11/24, indicated that residents will be free from any form of neglect and the facility will report all allegations of abuse/neglect and will notify the PA Department of Health/Long Term Care Division via the electronic reporting system. A review of Resident R33's admission record indicated the resident was re-admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included multiple sclerosis (a chronic neurological disorder where the immune system attacks healthy cells), and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (nerves that carry messages back and forth between the bladder and the spinal cord and brain do not function normally).A review of Resident R33's Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS -a periodic assessment of resident care needs) dated 2/11/25, indicated that the diagnoses were current upon review and the resident was alert, oriented, and cognitively intact.During an observation on 7/29/25 revealed Resident R33 had a suprapubic catheter (a tube used to drain urine from the bladder into a drainage bag) in place.A review of a physician order dated 2/6/25, indicated to empty the catheter every two hours and document. A review of a facility grievance form dated 4/14/25, indicated Resident R33 stated that morning the CNA did not empty his bag and did not want to get sick due to this. His bag was emptied for 1300cc (cubic centimeters) and is usually 500cc.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Number of residents sampled: Residents Affected - Few Number of residents cited: Based on the review of professional standards of practice, facility policy, clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and implement care and services consistent with professional standards of practice to prevent the development of a pressure ulcer that developed into a Stage III pressure ulcer (full thickness skin loss that extends into the subcutaneous or fat layer) to the right lateral ankle and a Stage I pressure ulcer (non-blanchable reddened area) to the right inner and outer aspect of the right knee from a immobilizer brace worn due to a fracture. This resulted in actual harm for one of two residents (Resident R3).Findings include:Clinical Practice Guidelines indicate that the treatment of pressure ulcers should involve multiple tactics aimed at alleviating the conditions contributing to ulcer development (i.e., support surfaces, repositioning, and nutritional support); protecting the wound from contamination and creating and maintaining a clean wound environment; promoting tissue healing via local wound applications, debridement, and wound cleansing; using adjunctive therapies; and considering possible surgical repair. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the pressure ulcer best practice bundle incorporates three critical components in preventing pressure ulcers: Comprehensive skin assessment, standardized pressure ulcer risk assessment, and care planning and implementation to address the areas of risk. Review of the facility policy Preventive Skin Care, dated 6/9/25, with a previous review date of 6/11/24, indicated the facility will provide the highest quality of skin care possible and promote preventive measures for skin integrity. From admission, weekly skin assessments will be completed by the nursing staff and documented in the electronic clinical record. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included respiratory failure, Traumatic Brain Injury with loss of consciousness, bipolar disorder, communication deficit, bilateral cataracts, repeated falls, dizziness, abnormal posture, and a fracture of the right ankle dated 3/15/25. Review of Resident R3's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of resident care needs) dated 5/7/25, indicated the diagnoses remained current. Section GG0110(Activities of Daily Living (ADL's) assistance indicated Resident R3 required physical assistance of two staff for bed mobility. Review of Resident R3's clinical record identified that on 3/15/25, Resident R3 had developed a fracture of his right ankle from another resident pushing his wheelchair and his leg getting trapped under the wheelchair causing a fracture which had been identified by the facility and the facility provided the information. On 3/17/25, Resident R3 was assessed by the Orthopedic Physician and a T scope brace (adjustable knee brace to control range of motion) was placed for immobilization of the fracture. Review of a Physician order dated 3/17/25, stated Resident to wear brace to RLE (right lower extremity) at all times, except for hygiene.Review of Resident R3's clinical record did not include documentation of skin checks being completed to the right leg until 4/2/25 due to a skin impairment, 16 days after the T brace was placed.Review of Resident R3's Treatment Administrative Record (TAR) dated 4/1/25, through 4/9/25, identified four of 21 opportunities of missed documented assessments of skin, with no documented issues identified.Review of the clinical record indicated that on 4/9/25, Resident R3 had developed a Stage I pressure ulcer of his right inner aspect of the knee measuring 3 centimeters (cm) x 1 cm x < 0.1 cm area and a 1 cm x 1.5 cm x <0.1cm area of the right outer aspect of the right knee, related to a medical device. A Stage III pressure ulcer was identified of the right lateral ankle measuring 9.5 cm x 3.5 cm x 0.2 cm with 90% of the tissue of the wound being slough (dead tissue). The brace was removed.Review of care plan for Resident R3 on 3/17/25, failed to (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395870 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 10 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395870 B.
