What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 17 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of select facility policy and clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to timely notify the physician and the resident's representative of an incident with the potential to require physician intervention and cause psychosocial harm to one resident out of 19 sampled (Resident 45). Findings include: A review of facility policy entitled Notification of Changes last reviewed January 2024, revealed that it is the policy of the facility that a change in a resident's condition are to be shared with the resident's representative and reported to the attending physician. A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change, resulting from organic disease of the brain). A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included hypertensive (high blood pressure) heart disease. Further review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed a progress note dated January 15, 2024, at 4:57 PM which indicated Resident 6 was in the dining room when he wheeled himself over to Resident 45, a female resident, who was sitting at a table by herself. Staff observed Resident 6 touching Resident 45 under her nightgown in the upper thigh area. An interview with Employee 3, nurse aide, on April 24, 2024, at 2:19 PM revealed that Employee 3 witnessed Resident 6 with his hand up under Resident 45's nightgown and touching her in the upper thigh area near her private area. A review of Resident 45's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that the facility had notified the resident's representative or attending physician that Resident 45 had been the victim of sexual abuse. An interview with the Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator on April 25, 2024, at approximately 1:45 PM confirmed the facility failed to notify the resident's representative and attending physician of the incident of sexual abuse.

F 0600 Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of select facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that two residents (Resident 45 and 42) were free from sexual abuse perpetrated by one resident (Resident 6) out of 19 sampled residents. Findings include: A review of the current facility policy entitled Abuse Prevention Program, last reviewed by the facility January 2024, revealed that the residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property and exploitation. A review of the facility policy entitled Identifying Types of Abuse last reviewed January 2024, revealed sexual abuse is non-consensual sexual conduct of any type with a resident. Sexual abuse includes but is not limited to unwanted intimate sexual touching of any kind especially to the breasts or perineal area. Further it is indicated that sexual contact is non-consensual if the resident appears to want the contact to occur but lacks the cognitive ability to consent. A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change, resulting from organic disease of the brain). An Annual Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process completed periodically to plan resident care) dated January 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease. A review of a Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. A social services note dated November 20, 2023, at 4:41 PM revealed that the Social Services Director spoke with Resident 6 about his interactions with female residents and told Resident 6 that he will need to refrain from touching female residents. A nursing note dated January 6, 2024, at 5:12 PM revealed that Resident 6 was inappropriate with a peer. Nursing noted on January 8, 2024, at 8:16 AM that a new order was obtained to monitor Resident 6 for socially inappropriate behavior, sexual acts towards residents or staff, every shift, for inappropriate sexual behaviors and provide additional details in the progress notes. A review of a progress note dated January 15, 2024, at 4:57 PM revealed that Resident 6 was in the dining room. Resident 6 wheeled himself over to another resident, a female resident, who was sitting at a table by herself. Staff observed Resident 6 touching the other female resident (Resident 45) under her nightgown in the upper thigh area and the RN (Registered Nurse) was made aware.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Actual harm An interview with Employee 7, a nurse aide, on April 23, 2024, at approximately 1:15 PM revealed Resident 6 can be sexually inappropriate and needs to be told he cannot touch females, residents or staff. Employee 7 stated that she has seen the resident touch other female residents on the arms and hands. She stated that he has touched her on her bottom before and he had to be told to stop, that it was not appropriate. Residents Affected - Few An interview with Employee 3, a nurse aide, on April 24, 2024, at 2:19 PM revealed that the employee witnessed Resident 6 with his hand up under Resident 45's nightgown and touching her in the upper thigh area, near her private area.

A review of Resident 45's clinical record revealed that the facility failed to document that Resident 45 was touched in a sexual nature by Resident 6 on January 15, 2024. Applying the reasonable person concept, in the case of Resident 45, who is unable to speak for herself, and the assessment of how most people would react to the situation of being sexually abused by Resident 6, Resident 45 would have suffered psychosocial harm and humiliation. The facility failed to fully investigate and report this incident of sexual abuse of Resident 45. The facility failed to develop and implement necessary interventions for a resident with a known history of sexual inappropriate behaviors to prevent the sexual abuse of Resident 45. The facility failed to develop and implement interventions after the sexual abuse occurred to prevent further incidents of sexual abuse. A review of behavior tracking for January 2024 revealed that on January 15, 2024, during the night shift and January 16, 2024, during the day shift, staff documented that Resident 6 had continued to display sexually inappropriate behaviors. There was no documentation in Resident 6's clinical record describing these behaviors and to whom they were directed.

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 observation, review of facility scheduled meal times and select facility policy, and resident and staff interviews the facility failed to ensure the provision of a nourishing (satisfying to the resident) evening snack when greater than 14 hours elapsed from the supper meal to breakfast the next day for residents including seven residents of 19 sampled (Residents 56, 27, 62, 6, 26, 21, and 28). Findings include: Review of the facility's Snacks Policy last reviewed January 2024, indicated that it is the facility policy to provide bulk snacks and beverages to each resident care area for availability upon request, snacks as identified in the individual plan of care, and bedtime (HS-hour of sleep) snacks to all residents. Review of the facility's scheduled (not exact times may fluctuate +/- 15 minutes) meal times revealed 14 hours between the evening meal and the next day's breakfast meal. During an interview on April 23, 2024, at 11:30 AM Resident 56 stated that he would like milk or coffee before bed at times, and that evening snacks are not always offered. During a group interview with six alert and oriented residents on April 24, 2024, at 11:00 AM, all six residents (Residents 27, 62, 6, 26, 21, and 28 ) in attendance stated that snacks are not routinely offered to them in the evenings. The residents stated they would like to receive an evening/bedtime snack. Resident 27 reported that when he has requested a snack, one is provided for him but if he does not ask, then none is offered or received. Observation of the resident pantry on the [NAME] Unit on April 25, 2024, at approximately 10:00 AM revealed that snacks and beverages such as milk and juice were not available as reflected in the facility policy which indicated that bulk snacks and beverages would be provided to each resident care area. Interview with the foodservice director (FSD) on April 25, 2024, at 10:30 AM confirmed that due to the close location of the kitchen to the nursing units that staff call or come to the kitchen when a snack is requested during the day. The FSD confirmed that snacks are sent each evening for nursing staff to offer to each resident. During an interview on April 25, 2024, at approximately 9:00 AM the administrator failed to provide documented evidence that residents were routinely offered and provided with a bedtime/evening snack. 28 Pa.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of clinical records and select facility policy, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain infection control practices to prevent spread of infection for three of 19 sampled residents (Residents 56, 1, and 59) Residents Affected - Some Findings include: According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) guidance focus on gown and glove use and not other important infection control measures for prevention of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO). EBP are recommended for residents with any of the following: infection or colonization with a MDRO, a wound, or indwelling medical device, even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO. Review of the facility Enhanced Barrier Precautions last reviewed/revised March 2024 indicated that to minimize the transmission of germs transferring from residents to staff hands and clothing, staff will wear a gown and gloves when providing care to residents that require significant physical contact and are at high risk of acquiring or spreading Multidrug Resistance Organisms (MDRO). Enhanced barrier precautions will be applied to residents known to be colonized with a targeted MDRO, per CDC guidelines, residents with an indwelling medical device including central venous catheter, urinary catheter, feeding tube (PEG tube), tracheostomy/ventilator regardless of their MDRO status, and residents with a chronic wound, regardless of their MDRO status. Chronic wounds include pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and venous stasis ulcers. The procedure to implement indicated signage will be displayed outside of resident rooms specifying the type of PPE (personal protective equipment) needed and will clarify high-contact activities, PPE, including gowns and gloves, will be made available immediately outside resident rooms, alcohol-based hand rub will be accessible for use in or in close proximity to the resident's room, and staff will remove and discard gown and gloves after each resident care encounter and perform hand hygiene upon exiting the room.
