Resident R25's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/17/25, with diagnoses including infection of sacral stage four decubitus (infection of a severe pressure injury to sacrum, the large triangular bone at base of spine, that extends into muscle, tendon, or bone), diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism (a condition when the thyroid gland doesn't make enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's needs), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of respiratory conditions that involve shortness of breath, a persistent cough, and excess mucus). Resident R26's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/04/25, with diagnoses including ortho aftercare status post repair of fractured distal fibula, anxiety, hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat, including cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood) and high blood pressure. Resident R28's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/10/25, with diagnoses including ortho aftercare from a right total hip repair, atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rythm), hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat, including cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood) and high blood pressure.

F 0883 Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on review of facility policy, facility documentation, clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that each resident's medical record included documentation that indicated, at a minimum that the resident or resident's representative was provided education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of Influenza/Pneumococcal immunizations; and that the resident either received the Influenza/Pneumococcal immunizations or did not receive the Influenza/Pneumococcal immunizations due to medical contraindications or refusal for eight of eight residents reviewed (Resident R9, R24, R25, R26, R28, R31, R35, and R37). Findings include: Facility policy Influenza Immunization Policy for Inpatients dated 10/15/25, revealed the nurse will assess the patient's immunization status upon arrival to the nursing unit. Vaccine history and updates are entered into the Meditech electronic assessment form and remain in the demo recall system. If the patient meets the criteria, is unsure of vaccination history, the vaccine is not contraindicated, the nurse will document that the vaccine is indicated and initiate vaccine teaching. The nurse will document in the EMR (electronic medical record) that the patient received the current Vaccine Information Statement (VIS). When the patient meets criteria for the vaccine as assessed in the nursing assessment, the vaccine will be added to the e-MAR (electronic medication administration record) by pharmacy. Unless the patient refuses or has a temperature greater than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or is one of the exceptions listed above, the nurse will administer the vaccine(s). Facility policy Respiratory Viral Outbreak dated 10/15/25, revealed vaccination is one of the most important ways people can prevent infection, hospitalization, and death from respiratory illness. Encourage everyone to remain up to date with all recommended vaccine doses to protect HCP (health care professional), residents, and visitors. Provide education and resources to HCP, residents, and visitors about the importance of receiving the vaccines for illnesses such as influenza, COVID-19, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), and pneumonia. Residents R9, R24, R25, R26, R28, R31, R35, and R37's clinical records lacked evidence of a consent process or education provided to the resident and/or resident representative regarding immunization related to the Influenza/Pneumococcal vaccines. During an interview on 11/20/25, at 1:05 p.m. the Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the facility lacked evidence that each resident's medical record, as noted above, included documentation that indicated, at a minimum that the resident or resident's representative was provided education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of Influenza/Pneumococcal immunization; and that the resident either received the Influenza/Pneumococcal immunization or did not receive the Influenza/Pneumococcal immunization due to medical contraindications or refusal. 28 Pa.
