or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and resident and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that call bells were within reach for one of 19 residents reviewed
(Resident 32).Findings include: A review of the facility policy for resident call system dated August 24,
2025, indicated that each resident is provided with a means to call staff directly for assistance from his/her
bed, from toileting/bathing facilities and from the floor. Clinical record review for Resident 32 revealed that
the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], for hospice respite (temporary, short-term inpatient care
in a facility like a nursing home, for patients with a terminal illness) care. Nurse's note for Resident 32 dated
December 12, 2025, at 7:47 p.m. revealed that the resident's admission assessment was completed and
that staff reviewed verbally with the resident the use of the call bell system and using it for a need. The
resident did show that he was able to call for the nurse effectively after staff showing him how to use the
call bell. Observation of Resident 32 on December 15, 2025, at 11:48 a.m. revealed that Nurse Aide 1
assisted the resident by adjusting his bed and setting up his lunch meal tray. The nurse aide completed the
task and walked out of the room. The resident's call bell was on the floor on the left side of his bed in front
of his bedside table. Interview with Nurse Aide 1 on December 15, 2025, at 11:48 a.m. confirmed that
Resident 32's call bell was not within his reach and the call bell should have been clipped to his bed so he
could use it if needed. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 15, 2025, at 12:42 p.m.
confirmed that Resident 32's call bell should have been within his reach. 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(3)(5)

or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the Resident Assessment Instrument User's Manual and clinical records, as well as
staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to complete a significant change Minimum Data Set
assessment for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident 6).Findings include: Review of the Long-Term Care
Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which provides guidance and instructions for
the completion of Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments (mandated assessments of a resident's abilities
and care needs) dated October, 2025 revealed that the facility must conduct a comprehensive assessment
of a resident within 14 days after the facility determines, or should have determined, that there has been a
significant change in the resident's physical or mental condition. The RAI Manual revealed that staff should
complete a significant change MDS when a resident has a decline that will not normally resolve itself
without interventions by staff, impacts more than one area of the resident's health status, and requires
interdisciplinary review and/or revision of the resident's care plan. The RAI Manual revealed that staff
should complete a significant change MDS when a terminally ill resident enrolls in a hospice program
(Medicare-certified or State-licensed hospice provider) or changes hospice providers and remains a
resident at the nursing home. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (mandated assessments
of a resident's abilities and care needs), dated August 31, 2025, revealed Resident 6 was cognitively intact,
required assistance from staff for daily care needs, was on hospice services and had active diagnoses that
included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a progressive lung condition characterized by
persistent airflow limitation). Physician's orders for Resident 6 dated August 15, 2025, included an order to
admit to hospice care with an admitting diagnosis of COPD. A review of Resident 6's clinical record
revealed that a significant change MDS was not completed per the RAI Manual. An interview with the

Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure that an implanted venous port (a medical device placed under the skin in your chest,
arm or belly that allows for easy access to a vein for administering fluids or medications) was flushed
according to facility policy for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident 9) and failed to ensure that a
peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC- a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a vein in the upper arm
for long term access) was flushed according to facility policy for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident 41).
Findings include:The facility's policy regarding flushing and locking an implanted venous port dated
September 24, 2025, indicated that the purpose of the procedure was to maintain patency of the implanted
port, to prevent mixing of incompatible medications and solutions, and to ensure the entire dose of a
solution or medication is administered into the venous system. When the port is used intermittently for
medication administration, flush (procedure involving the injection of saline into a catheter using a small
syringe to clear or maintain patency) with preservative free 0.9 percent sodium chloride (normal saline-a
sterile mixture of salt and water) before and after infusion/medication administration in addition to daily
flushing. Steps for flushing when giving medication include to document location of catheter, and type and
amount of flush used. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a federally mandated
assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 9, dated, 2025, revealed that the resident
was cognitively intact, had diagnoses that included cancer, and had intravenous access.Physician's orders
for Resident 9, dated December 5, 2025, included an order for the resident to receive one gram of
ertapenem sodium solution (an antibiotic medication) intravenously every evening for a urinary tract
infection for 10 days. Review of Medication Administration Records (MARs) for Resident 9, dated December
2025, revealed that staff documented administering the one gram of ertapenem sodium solution
intravenously every evening from December 5, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. through December 14, 2025, at 8:00 p.m.
However, there was no documented evidence that staff flushed Resident 9's implanted venous port before
and after the administration of the ertapenem sodium solution.Interview with the Director of Nursing on
December 17, 2025, at 10:17 a.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that Resident 9's
implanted venous port was flushed before and after the administration of the ertapenem sodium solution on
the above-mentioned dates per facility policy.The facility's policy regarding the flushing of peripheral and
midline intravenous catheters (a catheter that is placed in a peripheral vein for long-term administration of
fluids and/or medication), dated September 24, 2025, indicated that the peripheral or midline catheter was
to be flushed with 10 milliliters (ml's) of normal saline (sterile salt and water solution) before and after each
use. A nursing note for Resident 41, dated December 12, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. revealed the resident was
admitted to the facility from the hospital and had a PICC line in place.Physician's orders for Resident 41,
dated December 12, 2025, included an order for the resident to receive 1.25 grams of Vancomycin solution
(an antibiotic) intravenously (IV) daily for 26 days and 4.5 grams of Zosyn Solution (antibiotic) intravenously
every eight hours for 26 days for left foot cellulitis (bacterial skin infection).Review of the MAR for Resident
41 for December 2025 revealed that the resident received IV Vancomycin daily and Zosyn every eight
hours; however, there was no documented evidence that the resident's PICC line was flushed before and
after receiving the medication per the facility's policy. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December
17, 2025, at 10:17 a.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that Resident 41's PICC line
was flushed before and after its use for medication administration per facility policy.28 Pa. Code

Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure the accountability of controlled medications (drugs with the potential to be abused)
for two of 19 residents reviewed (Resident 6, 14).Findings include: The facility's policy regarding medication
administration, dated September 24, 2025, indicated that staff are to document the administration of
controlled substances in accordance with applicable law. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
(a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 6 dated December 1, 2025,
indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance with daily care needs, and had
diagnosis that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high blood pressure Physician's orders
for Resident 6, dated October 6, 2025, included an order for the resident to receive 0 .5 milliliters (ml) of
Morphine (a controlled narcotic pain medication) orally every 4 hours for moderate pain or shortness of
breath. A review of Resident 6's-controlled drug record (used to keep count of narcotic medication) for
October 2025 revealed that staff signed out 0.5 ml Morphine on October 9, 2025, at 1:20 p.m., October 13,
2025, at 8:00 p.m., October 14, 2025, at 11:53 p.m. However, review of the resident's MAR, dated October
2025, revealed no documented evidence that the 0.5 ml of Morphine was administered to the resident on
those dates. Physician's orders for Resident 6, dated October 6, 2025, included an order for the resident to
receive 1 ml of Morphine orally every 2 hours for sever pain or shortness of breath. A review of Resident
6's-controlled drug record for October and November 2025 revealed that staff signed out 1 ml Morphine on
October 18, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., October 22, 2025, at 7:45 p.m., and November 17, 2025, at 1:55 p.m.
However, review of the resident's MAR, dated October and November 2025, revealed no documented
evidence that the 1 ml of Morphine was administered to the resident on those dates. Interview with the
Director of Nursing on December 17, 2025, at 11:14 a.m. confirmed that there was no documented
evidence that Resident 6 received the 0.5 ml or 1 ml of Morphine as ordered on the above referenced
dates. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 14, dated December 30, 2025, revealed that the resident
had moderate cognitive impairment, had occasional pain, received pain medication routinely and as
needed, and received an opioid (a controlled pain medication). Physician's orders, dated April 11, 2024,
included an order for the resident to receive 50 milligrams (mg) of Tramadol (narcotic pain reliever) every six
hours as needed for moderate pain to severe pain.A review of Resident 14's controlled drug record for
October and November 2025 revealed that staff signed out 50 mg of Tramadol on October 25 at 7:27 p.m.,
October 30 at 6:22 p.m., November 18 at 6:40 p.m., and November 26, 2025, at 6:28 p.m. However, review
of the resident's MAR, dated October and November 2025, revealed no documented evidence that the 50
mg of Tramadol was administered to the resident on those dates.Interview with the Nursing Home

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policies, and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to maintain a medication administration error rate of less than five percent.
Findings include: Review of a facility policy for administering medications dated September 24, 2025,
included that the individual administering the medication checks the label three times to verify the right
resident, right medication, right dosage, right time, and right method of administration before giving the
medication, and the individual administering the medication initials the resident's medication administration
record on the appropriate line after giving each medication and before administering the next one.
Observations made during medication administration on December 15 and 16, 2025, revealed that two
medication administration errors were made during 26 opportunities for error, resulting in a medication
administration error rate of 7.69 percent. Physician's orders for Resident 9, dated November 12, 2025,
included for the resident to have one spray in each nostril of fluticasone propionate (steroid nasal spray that
can be used to treat allergy symptoms) 50 micrograms per actuation suspension one time a day for
allergies. Physician's orders dated November 20, 2025, included for the resident to receive 500 milligrams
(mg) of sodium chloride (medication containing a specific dose of salt or sodium chloride used to replenish
lost electrolytes or treat low blood sodium) one time a day. Physician's orders dated December 15, 2025,
included for the resident to receive two sprays of saline spray nasal solution in both nostrils every six hours
as needed for dryness, may self-administer it. Observations during the medication administration on
December 16, 2025, at 7:34 a.m. revealed that Licensed Practical Nurse 3 administered a 1000 mg tablet
of sodium chloride and provided the resident with saline spray nasal solution for the resident to
self-administer one spray in each nostril. After completion of the medication administration, Licensed
Practical Nurse 3 returned to the medication cart and documented that he administered 500mg of sodium
chloride and one spray to each nostril of fluticasone propionate 50 micrograms per activation suspension.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 3 on December 16, 2025, at 8:35 a.m. confirmed that he did
administer 1000 mg of sodium chloride tablet when he should have cut it in half and gave 500 mg, and he
confirmed that he did administer the as needed saline spray, however, he thought he had administered the
ordered fluticasone propionate, also reporting at the time of this interview that he did not believe that the
fluticasone propionate was in his medication cart. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 17,
2025, at 8:47 a.m. confirmed that medications are to be administered as ordered. 28 Pa. Code

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on review of the facility's plans of correction for previous surveys, and the results of the current
survey, it was determined that the facility's Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee
failed to maintain compliance with nursing home regulations and ensure that plans to improve the delivery
of care and services effectively addressed recurring deficiencies. Findings include: The facility's deficiencies
and plans of correction for a State Survey and Certification (Department of Health) survey ending
November 19, 2024, revealed that the facility developed plans of correction that included quality assurance
systems to ensure that the facility maintained compliance with cited nursing home regulations. The results
of the current survey, ending December 17, 2025, identified repeated deficiencies related to accuracy of
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments (mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs),
the development of individualized care plans, care plan timing and revision, and preventing issues with the
accountability of controlled medications (drugs with the potential to be abused). The facility's plan of
correction for a deficiency regarding a failure to ensure that MDS assessments were accurate upon
submission, cited during the survey ending November 19, 2024, revealed that the facility developed a plan
of correction that included completing audits and reporting the results of the audits to the QAPI committee
for review. The results of the current survey, cited under F641, revealed that the facility's QAPI committee
was ineffective in correcting deficient practices related to accurate MDS assessments. The facility's plan of
correction for a deficiency regarding the development of individualized care plans, cited during the survey
ending November 19, 2024, revealed that the facility would complete audits and report the results of the
audits to the QAPI committee for review. The results of the current survey, cited under F656, revealed that
the facility's QAPI committee failed to successfully implement their plan to ensure that resident's care plans
were developed for their individual needs. The facility's plan of correction for a deficiency regarding care
plan timing and revision, cited during the survey ending November 19, 2024, revealed that the facility would
complete audits and report the results of the audits to the QAPI committee for review. The results of the
current survey, cited under F657, revealed that the facility's QAPI committee failed to successfully
implement their plan to ensure ongoing compliance with regulations regarding care plan timing and
revision. The facility's plans of correction for deficiencies regarding the failure to account for controlled
medications, cited during the survey ending November 19, 2024, revealed that the facility would complete
audits and the results would be reviewed as part of quality assurance. The results of the current survey,
cited under F755, revealed that the facility's QAPI committee was ineffective in correcting deficient
practices related to the accountability of controlled medications. Refer to F641, F656, F657, F755 28 Pa.
