Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to complete and accurate
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for one of eight residents reviewed (Resident 21).Findings include:
The Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) 3.0 User's Manual (dated October
2025) provides instructions and guidelines for completing the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally
mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care). The RAI manual
requires the MDS 3.0 assessment accurately reflects the resident's status. A registered nurse conducts or
coordinates each assessment with the appropriate participation of health professionals, and the
assessment process includes direct observation, as well as communication with the resident and direct
care staff on all shifts. According to the RAI manual, Section I of the MDS emphasizes that active
diagnoses are to be included on the assessment. Specifically, items in Section I code diseases or active
diagnosis that have a direct relationship to the resident's current functional, cognitive, mood or behavior
status, medical treatments, nursing monitoring, or risk of death. Active diagnosis guides the plan of care
since one of the important MDS functions is to present an accurate picture of the resident's current health
status according to the RAI manual. A review of Resident 21's clinical record revealed Resident 21 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including acute diastolic congestive heart failure (a
condition where the heart cannot pump blood and fluid builds up in the lungs and other areas of the body).
Further clinical record review revealed a physician order dated December 1, 2025, for Melatonin 3
milligrams (mg) by mouth at bedtime. Melatonin is an over-the-counter medication commonly used to help
regulate sleep by supporting the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Review of the electronic medication
administration record confirmed Resident 21 received Melatonin 3 mg each evening beginning December
1, 2025. Additional review of the clinical record revealed an admission diagnosis of Circadian Rhythm Sleep
Disorder, active as of November 28, 2025. Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder is a condition in which an
individual's internal biological clock is disrupted, resulting in difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or
achieving adequate restorative sleep. This diagnosis was consistent with the ordered and administered
medication to facilitate sleep for Resident 21. Review of Resident 21's admission MDS dated [DATE],
revealed that Section I was signed as completed by the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC)
on December 8, 2025. The MDS did not include the active diagnosis of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder.
The omission of this diagnosis resulted in the MDS not accurately reflecting Resident 21's current medical
treatments, specifically the use of medication to facilitate sleep, and did not accurately represent the
resident's mood or behavior status as it related to the inability to attain adequate rest. Further clinical review
of the admission MDS revealed all MDS sections were complete and signed by the RNAC as complete on
December 9, 2025. Subsequently, the admission MDS was successfully transmitted to the database on
December 10, 2025, according to the assessment history. The MDS completed on December 9, 2025, and
submitted on December 10, 2025, did not

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records, review of facility documentation, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to develop and implement a baseline person-centered care plan within 48 hours of admission
that addressed immediate clinical needs for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 52).Findings include:A
review of the facility provided policy entitled Resident Comprehensive Care Plan last reviewed by the facility
on October 25, 2025, indicated the facility will develop a comprehensive care plan, initiated on admission
and reviewed after completion of each comprehensive assessment and quarterly assessment for each
resident that includes measurable objectives to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and
psychosocial needs. The objective of the care plan is to address residents' needs, strengths, and
preferences and to attain the residents' highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
The policy indicated there will be 24-hour involvement in the Plan of Care. Resident needs, problems, and
concerns will be updated by appropriate team members as frequently as necessary. A review of Resident
52's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included urinary retention (a condition in which the bladder is unable to fully empty urine), UTI (urinary tract
infection, an infection in any part of the urinary system), and severe sepsis (occurs when one's immune
system has a dangerous reaction to an infection and causes extensive inflammation throughout the body
that can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and even death). Further clinical record review revealed a
physician's order dated December 5, 2025, at 2:45 PM, to catheter (is a device that drains urine from the
bladder into a collection bag outside of the body when one cannot urinate on their own and consists of a
thin, flexible rubber or plastic tube that goes through the urethra into the bladder) care every shift for good
hygiene and cleanse with soap and water, and to irrigate catheter for blockage as needed (PRN) with 30 ml
NSS (normal saline solution). A review of a history and physical assessment completed by the facility's
Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) dated December 5, 2025, at 7:33 PM, indicated Resident
52 was seen by urology (specialized in urinary conditions) while hospitalized and required a Foley catheter
due to urinary retention. The facility was able to provide justification for the continued use of a Foley
catheter. However, Resident 52's physician orders failed to reflect an order for the continued use of a Foley
catheter for management of urinary retention. A review of Resident 52's person-centered plan of care that
was initiated on December 5, 2025, and in place as baseline care plan, failed to develop a care plan that
included the resident's need for a Foley catheter and indicate person-centered interventions for proper care
and services required to safely and hygienically manage the presence of a catheter. The facility failed to
ensure Resident 52's plan of care was fully developed to reflect the resident's need for use of a Foley
catheter and develop individualized interventions for proper care and services required to manage the
presence of a catheter. During interviews with the facility's Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director
of Nursing (DON) on December 11, 2025, at 10:50 AM, the above information was reviewed and confirmed.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, select facility policy, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to
fully develop a person-centered comprehensive care plan to meet the individualized needs for one resident
out of 8 sampled (Resident 21). Findings included: A review of the facility provided policy entitled Resident
Comprehensive Care Plan last reviewed by the facility on October 25, 2025, indicated the facility will
develop a comprehensive care plan, initiated on admission and reviewed after completion of each
comprehensive assessment and quarterly assessment for each resident that includes measurable
objectives to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs. The objective of the care
plan is to address residents' needs, strengths, and preferences and to attain the residents' highest
practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The policy indicated there will be 24-hour
involvement in the Plan of Care. Resident needs, problems, and concerns will be updated by appropriate
team members as frequently as necessary. A review of Resident 21's clinical record revealed Resident 21
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including acute diastolic congestive heart failure (a
condition where the heart is not able to pump blood and fluid builds up in the lungs and other areas of the
body) and Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder (a condition that disrupts or affect ones natural sleep-wake
cycle). A clinical record review of physician's orders dated December 1, 2025, revealed a physician's order
for Melatonin (an over-the-counter pill commonly used to help individuals who have difficulty sleeping and
used to adjust the body's internal clock to support sleep) 3 mg, one tablet every evening at bedtime for
Resident 21's difficulty obtaining adequate rest and sleep. Further review of the clinical record revealed
Resident 21's care plan did not include any information addressing the resident's lack of ability to get
adequate rest and sleep. The absence of a resident centered care plan addressing Resident 21's inability to
sleep contradicts the facility policy which identifies that any psychosocial needs as well as moods and
behaviors will be incorporated into the comprehensive care plan. An interview with the Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA) and Direct of Nursing (DON) on December 11, 2025, at 10:45 AM confirmed Resident
21's care plan did not reflect resident centered psychosocial and clinical needs nor was there 24-hour
involvement in the care plan as the care plan lacked updated information. 28 Pa. Code 211.10 (c)(d)
