dress code provides for a consistent professional appearance in the dress of the staff. Should an employee
report to work improperly dressed or groomed, his/her supervisor may instruct the employee to return
home to change. Employees will not be permitted to work when they are improperly dressed. For all
employees in all departments: No sweatpants; blouses are to be non-revealing in cut. In addition, the dress
coded indicated for nursing department personnel was noted to be a uniform or scrub suit and that the
Charge Nurse, Nurse Supervisor, or Director of Nursing may determine the appropriateness of the uniform
and has the right to verbally warn the employee or send the employee off duty to change the uniform.
Observation on the second-floor nursing unit on March 2, 2026, at 10:50 AM, Employee 2 (Licensed
Practical Nurse) was observed to be dressed in sweatpants with Hello Kitty appliques noted on the leg and
a short, blue and white striped shirt. Employee 2's abdomen was noted to be exposed. In addition,

sweatpants and the short shirt that exposed her abdomen, and she had no name tag. She did not identify
herself to Resident 56. Employee 2 stated, I have your medications. During a staff interview with the
Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on March 4, 2026, at 1:34 PM, the DON
acknowledged that Employee 2 was not appropriately dressed and indicated that Employee 2 was a new
employee and new nurse who cannot afford scrubs. The DON further indicated that she has now instructed
Employee 2 to wear her school scrubs until she can afford to purchase her own scrubs. The NHA confirmed
that he would expect staff to wear proper identification and to properly identify themselves prior to entering
a resident's room. He further indicated that Employee 2 was provided with a name tag. 28 Pa Code

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined
that the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan to meet a resident's
preferences and goals, and address the resident's medical, physical, mental and psychosocial needs for
one of 16 residents reviewed (Resident 3).Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Care
Plan-Comprehensive, dated September 28, 2022, revealed, in part, Each resident will have a
comprehensive care plan that is individualized, includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the
resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs is developed for each resident, and reflects
the resident's cultural references, values, and practices. Each resident's care plan is designed to: d. reflect
the resident's expressed wishes regarding care and treatment goals. Review of Resident 3's clinical record
revealed diagnoses that included muscle weakness and depression. During a resident interview with
Resident 3 on March 2, 2026, at 1:40 PM, he indicated that he does not get showers very often and
described them as few and far between. Review of Resident 3's care plan revealed his bathing preference
was to receive a shower once a week, dated January 14, 2024. Review of Resident 3's shower/bath
documentation from February 3, 2026 -March 4, 2026, revealed that he was documented as receiving a
shower once on February 15, 2026, and received a bed bath all other times. During a staff interview with
the Director of Nursing (DON) on March 5, 2026, at 10:20 AM, she indicated that he does occasionally
refuse a shower. She said Resident 3's autonomy of care is presumed because of his high level of cognition
and that he could voice his concerns or requests to staff when care is being provided. The DON confirmed
that Resident 3's preferences should have been care planned so all staff providing care could be aware and
make efforts to accommodate them. 28 Pa. Code 201.24(e)(4) admission policy.28 Pa. Code

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on facility policy review, clinical record reviews, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to review and revise the resident plan of care for three of 19 residents reviewed (Residents 4,
56, and 60).Findings include: Review of the facility policy, titled Care Plan-Comprehensive, last reviewed
April 7, 2025, stated Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information
about the resident and the resident's condition change. Review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed

Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure care
and services were provided in accordance with professional standards for one of 16 residents reviewed
(Resident 11).Findings include: Review of Resident 11's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included
dementia (a chronic disorder of mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory
disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Review of
Resident 11's current physician orders revealed an order for losartan potassium 50 milligram tablet give
one tablet by mouth one time a day hold for systolic blood pressure less than 100 or blood pressure less
than 100/60, dated October 15, 2025. Review of Resident 11's Medication Administration Records from
October 15, 2025, through March 4, 2026, revealed the following:1) There was no documentation of
Resident 11's blood pressure documented with each medication administration.2) The losartan was coded
as 5=Hold See Progress Notes on November 2 and 7, 2025, and December 14, 2025. All other doses
between October 15, 2025, and March 4, 2026, were documented as being administered. Review of
Resident 11's clinical record progress notes revealed the following:1) November 2, 2025, at 10:26 AM,
losartan was held due to a pulse of 56 (which was not one of the physician's provided parameters for
holding the medication);2) November 7, 2025, at 9:35 AM, losartan was held due to a pulse of 56 (which
was not one of the physician's provided parameters for holding the medication); and3) December 14, 2025,
at 8:52 AM, losartan was held due to a blood pressure of 99/54. Review of Resident 11's blood pressure
documentation in the vitals tab of the clinical record revealed that Resident 11's blood pressure was
documented on six occasions that could possibly coincide with the losartan medication administration
(October 16, 17, and 18, 2025; December 3, 2025; January 8, 2026; and February 9, 2026). Review of the
Resident 11's clinical record revealed no evidence of blood pressures being taken consistently, prior to
administration of medication with parameters. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator
and the Director of Nursing (DON) on March 5, 2026, at 2:04 PM, the DON indicated that she could not say
whether nurses consistently took Resident 11's blood pressure prior to administering the losartan. She said
that the nurses may have just taken the blood pressure and wrote it on their report sheet instead of
documenting it in the clinical record. She confirmed that there should have been a corresponding box with
the medication administration for nurses to document Resident 11's blood pressure to reflect that the
physician's ordered parameters were followed. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(1) Management.28 Pa. Code

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, policy review, other resources, and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility antibiotic stewardship program allows for lapsed doses of antibiotic usage as determined by one
of 19 residents reviewed (Resident 60).Findings Include: Review of the facility policy, titled Antibiotic
Stewardship- Order for Antibiotics, reviewed April 7, 2025, When a culture and sensitivity (C&S) is ordered,
it will be completed, and; lab results and the current clinical situation will be communicated to the prescriber
as soon as available to determine if antibiotic therapy should be started, continued, modified, or
discontinued. Based on National Institute of Health Resource, dated December 11, 2025, lapsed or missed
doses particularly early in treatment are critical issues that reduce treatment efficacy, allow for the
development of drug resistance, and may necessitate dose increases or adjustments. Based on current
Food and Drug Administration recommendations the treatment for Proteus mirabilis (Gram negative rod
bacteria capable of causing symptomatic infections including cystitis [inflammation of the bladder] and
pyelonephritis [kidney infection] and is present in cases of asymptomatic bacteriuria, particularly in the
elderly), complicated urinary tract infections, the dosage should be 500 milligrams twice a day for 7 days.
Review of the clinical record for Resident 60 revealed diagnoses that included Parkinson's disease with
dyskinesia (involuntary, erratic movements) and retention of urine (inability to empty the bladder
completely). Further review of the clinical record for Resident 60 revealed a diagnosis of urinary tract
infection (UTI) was confirmed by a laboratory culture on November 28, 2026. The microbiology results
revealed > (greater than) 100,000 CFU/ml (colony-forming units per milliliter) Proteus mirabilis (Abnormal).
On November 28, 2025, at 3:25 PM, the provider ordered Cipro (ciprofloxacin - a potent antibiotic used to
treat serious bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections) 250 milligrams by mouth twice a day for
3 days. The antibiotic started on November 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM. Resident 60 received additional doses on
November 29, 2025, at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM; November 30, 2025, at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM; and was
stopped on December 1, 2025, at 6:00 AM. The Provider's designated Registered Nurse visited Resident
60 and reported the Resident was without any UTI symptoms and the antibiotic was discontinued as
ordered initially. Resident 60 received a follow-up visit on December 3, 2025, and during the physical
assessment Resident had suprapubic tenderness (pain or sensitivity in the lower abdomen just above the
pubic bone) often signaling underlying bladder or pelvic issues like urinary tract infections or cystitis. On
December 3, 2025, the provider wrote new orders for Cipro 500 mg twice a day (1000 mg daily) for 7 days
due to continued symptoms related to a complicated UTI. During an interview with Employee 9
(ICP-Infection Control Preventionist) on March 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM, Employee 9 stated that residents
under the care of this Resident's provider are usually treated for 3 days with antibiotics when diagnosed
with UTI with a positive culture. The Resident is evaluated by a Registered Nurse for symptoms and, if there
are no symptoms, the antibiotic ends as scheduled. When the Provider reevaluates at the next visit if there
are symptoms, the antibiotic is restarted. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)
on March 5, 2026, at 10:45 AM, the NHA stated that antibiotic usage is referred to the provider. 28 Pa.
