F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, a review of clinical records, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide reasonable accommodations to facilitate a resident's participation in activities for one of the 14 residents sampled (Resident 41). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: A clinical record review revealed that Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD is a condition caused by damage to the airways or other parts of the lung that blocks airflow and makes it hard to breathe). A review of an initial comprehensive Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated February 17, 2024 revealed that Resident 41 is cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information; a score of 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). The resident's care plan, initated February 15, 2023, identified that Resident 41 has a need for socialization and engagement with interventions planned to invite the resident to scheduled activities. Resident 41's activity preferences were identified as bingo, arts and crafts, exercise, singing in church choir, and church or faith based activities. During an interview on March 26, 2024, at 12:00 PM, Resident 41 stated that she doesn't attend many activities because her wheelchair will not pass through the Activity Room door. She explained that once, she sat in the hallway outside the Activity Room during spiritual services and listened the best she could because her wheelchair won't fit through the door. A review of the facility's March 2024 Activity Calendar revealed that approximately 50 activities are scheduled to occur in the facility's Activity Room, including bingo, hymnal singing, and pastoral activities. A review of Resident 41's wheelchair dimensions and specifications revealed that the resident has a bariatric wheelchair with a 30-inch seat. The wheels of the chair extend an additional four inches from the seat on both sides of the chair with an approximate width of the chair at 40 inches. During an observation on March 28, 2024, at approximately 10:15 AM, the Director of Maintenance measured the Activity Room door as 36-inches.

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 a review of the facility's abuse prohibition policy, select incident reports and clinical records, and interviews with staff and a resident's family, it was determined that the facility neglected to provide the care and services necessary to avoid physical harm and maintain the physical health of one resident out of 14 residents sampled (Resident 33), resulting in an sprained ankle, which caused the resident pain and a decline in abilities to perform activities of daily living. Findings include: A review of the facility policy titled Abuse Policy and Procedure, indicated as last reviewed by the facility on November 1, 2023, revealed that it is the facility's policy to protect residents from neglect and all incidents of suspected neglect will be thoroughly investigated and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Health and other agencies as directed by law. The policy defines neglect as the failure of the facility, its employees, or service providers to provide services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress. A clinical record review revealed that Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included cerebral ischemia (a condition characterized by impaired blood flow to the brain) and dementia (a condition characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities). A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated February 16, 2024 revealed that Resident 33 has severe cognitive impairment with a BIMS score of 05 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information; a score of 00-07 indicates severe cognitive impairment). The resident's care plan identified that Resident 33 had ADL self-care performance deficit related to dementia and impaired balance, initiated August 14, 2023, with planned interventions that the resident requires the assistance of two staff for toileting. A physician's order was noted on January 3, 2024, indicating that Resident 33 requires two staff for all transfers with a gait belt and rollator walker (a mobility assistance device with wheels). A physician's order was initiated on January 19, 2024, for physical therapy, therapeutic exercise, therapeutic activity, wheelchair training, and gait training. An employee witness statement dated February 29, 2024, provided by Employee A1, nurse aide, revealed that on February 29, 2024, at 9:45 AM, he was transferring Resident 33 from the toilet when the resident's left knee gave out. Employee A1's statement indicated that he then lowered Resident 33 to the floor. The employee's statement indicated that Employee A1 transferred the resident by himself without the assistance of another staff member as the resident required. A progress note dated February 29, 2024, at 9:58 AM revealed that Resident 33's left leg gave out 396086 Page 3 of 16 396086 03/28/2024 Green Valley Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Ce 1 Matthew Drive Pottsville, PA 17901

Therapy noted on March 8, 2024, that Resident 33 performed transfer training from sit to stand with moderate assistance from one staff member. The resident was able to stand for a maximum of 30 seconds with caregiver assistance. The summary of service indicated that the resident was reporting pain in the left foot that limited transferring and ambulation. A documentation survey report for February 2024 of the activities of daily life tasks walking in the corridor (how the resident walks in the corridor) and walking in the room (how the resident walks in her room) revealed that Resident 33 was able to walk in the facility corridors on 12 occasions with staff assistance and 16 times in her room with staff assistance from February 1, 2024, through February 29, 2024. However, following the resident's ankle injury on February 29, 2024, the documentation survey report for March 2024 for the activities of daily life tasks walking in the corridor and walking in her room revealed that these tasks were not applicable or that the resident was dependent on staff for the activities occurring from March 1, 2024, through March 25, 2024. During an interview on March 26, 2024, at 11:10 AM, Resident 33's family member stated that Resident 33 fell and twisted her ankle a few weeks ago while one staff member was trying to transfer her instead of two people that she requires. He explained that since the resident's fall, Resident 33 has had a setback in her physical rehabilitation. He stated that the resident is now unable to walk as well as she did before the incident. He explained that the goal is for Resident 33 to be discharged home after rehab, but now he's unsure when the resident will have recovered enough to return home. During an interview on March 28, 2024, at approximately 9:30 AM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) confirmed that the facility staff failed to ensure that Resident 33 received the services necessary to avoid physical harm. The NHA confirmed that Employee A1, Nurse Aide, was aware that Resident 33's transfer was to be performed with two people but neglected to assure the presence of a second person and performed the transfer by himself, resulting in Resident 33's sprained ankle and subsequent decline in activities of daily life (i.e. walking in her room and corridor. 28 Pa.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain acceptable practices for the storage and service of food to prevent the potential for contamination and microbial growth in food, which increased the risk of food-borne illness in the food and nutrition services department and resident pantry. Findings include: Food safety and inspection standards for safe food handling indicate that everything that comes in contact with food must be kept clean and food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. Safe steps in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. You cannot always see, smell, or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness according to the USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture, also known as the Agriculture Department, is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to food). According to CMS guidance, dated May 20, 2014 (S & C 14-34-NH) Skilled nursing and nursing facilities should use pasteurized shell eggs or liquid pasteurized eggs to eliminate the risk of residents contracting Salmonella Enteritis (SE). The use of pasteurized eggs allows for resident preference for soft-cooked, undercooked or sunny-side up eggs while maintaining food safety. In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, skilled nursing and nursing facilities should not prepare nor serve soft-cooked, undercooked or sunny-side up eggs from unpasteurized eggs. Observation during the initial tour of the food and nutrition services department on March 26, 2024, at 9:15 AM revealed two cases of fresh shell eggs, which were not pasteurized (salmonella infections may be prevented by using pasteurized eggs in place of unpasteurized eggs in the preparation of foods where the egg will not be thoroughly cooked) were present on a shelf in the walk-in refrigerator. Interview with the food service director (FSD) at this time confirmed that the fresh shell eggs were being used to serve dippy eggs. The FSD confirmed that the fresh shell eggs were not pasteurized. The FSD confirmed that the fresh shell eggs were ordered by mistake instead of pasteurized shell eggs from the food supplier. Observation of the resident pantry refrigerator on March 26, 2024, at 11:30 AM revealed the following food storage/sanitation concerns: There was a thawed 4-ounce nutritional shake and a 10-gallon plastic bag which contained 4-ounce nutritional shakes in the refrigerator which were not dated with a thaw or discard date. The manufacturer label noted the shakes should be used within 14 days after thawed. There were two plastic storage containers of applesauce on the shelf, which were not dated. There were two 46-ounce bottles of thickened juice, which were opened but not dated. The manufacturer label noted that the juice should be used within 10 days of opening. There was a 60-ounce bottle of apple juice, which was opened but not dated. 396086 Page 12 of 16 396086 03/28/2024 Green Valley Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Ce 1 Matthew Drive Pottsville, PA 17901
