Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records, select facility policy and investigative reports, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility neglected to provide one resident with the necessary care and services to
prevent injury and maintain physical health out of 16 sampled. (Resident 4).
Findings include:
A review of the facility's abuse prohibition policy provided on March 27, 2024, revealed that it the policy of
the facility to protect their residents from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of property, corporal punishment
and involuntary seclusion.
A review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on June 14, 2022, with diagnoses
of dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and
marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning), osteoarthritis, and heart
disease.
Resident 4's plan of care, last revised by the facility October 30, 2022, indicated that the resident has an
ADL (activity of daily living) self-care performance deficit related to activity intolerance related to CHF
(congestive heart failure). Planned interventions were to provide the assistance of two staff members to
turn and reposition the resident in bed as necessary and that the resident requires a full mechanical lift and
assist of two staff members for transfers.
A review of a facility investigation report dated February 5, 2024, at 3:30 PM revealed that Employee 3, a
nurse aide, rolled the resident in bed, to put a new brief under him. Resident 4 then shifted his hips and
rolled off the bed. Employee 3 tried to stop the resident from falling out of bed but was unable to prevent the
resident's fall. Resident 4 sustained a large skin tear and abrasion to his head. The physician ordered the
resident to be transported to the emergency room for evaluation. The resident returned to the facility with
sutures to the right parietal (side) region of his head and right forearm.
A review of Employee 3's witness statement dated February 5, 2024, revealed that the employee was
assigned to Resident 4 to provide care and services on the day of the fall. According to Employee 3's
statement, when he was putting a new brief under the resident, the resident rolled his hip and fell off the
bed. He fell onto the floor. Employee 3's statement did not indicate the presence of another staff member
while repositioning the resident in bed to provide ADL care.
There was no evidence that another staff member was assisting with the resident's turning and

repositioning in bed at the time of the resident's fall. The facility failed to ensure that two staff members
were present while repositioning and turning the resident in bed, as care planned, and the resident rolled
out of the bed onto the floor and sustained minor injuries.
A review of a Report Form for Investigation of Alleged Abuse, Neglect, or Misappropriation of Property
(PB-22) submitted by the facility to the Pennsylvania Department of Health on February 5, 2024, revealed
the facility completed their investigation and concluded that neglect was substantiated due to Employee 3's
failure to follow the resident's plan of care which indicated that another staff member was required when
assisting in the resident's bed repositioning.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on March 27, 2024, at
approximately 1:00 PM confirmed that the facility failed to ensure that Resident 4 was free from neglect.
This deficiency is cited as past non-compliance.
The facility's corrective action plan included the following:
1.
Resident 4 was sent to emergency room post fall and returned to the facility in stable condition. Employee 3
was immediately suspended and after conclusion of the investigation was terminated.
2.

Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of select facility policy, select investigative reports, and clinical records, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that one resident was free from misappropriation of resident
property, narcotic opioid medications, for two residents out of 17 residents sampled (Resident 16 and 17).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of the facility's abuse prohibition policy provided on March 27, 2024, revealed that it the policy of
the facility to protect their residents from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of property, corporal punishment
and involuntary seclusion. Misappropriation is the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful,
(temporary or permanent) use of a residents' belongings or funds without the resident's consent.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses of hypertension and diabetes.
The resident had a physician order initially dated January 26, 2024, for Oxycodone (a narcotic opioid pain
medication) 5 mg, two tablets by mouth two times a day for chronic pain.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident CR2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses which included a fracture of her right humerus (upper arm) and was admitted for surgical
aftercare.
The resident had a physician order for Tylenol 325 mg, two tablets every 6 hours as needed for mild pain,
Tylenol extra strength 500 mg, two tablets every 8 hours as needed for moderate pain, and Oxycodone 5
mg every 4 hours as needed for moderate pain.
According to a facility investigative report, on February 21, 2024, at approximately 6 PM the Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA) was notified that a narcotic medication was taken from Resident 16 to administer to
Resident CR2 during the 3 PM to 11 PM shift on February 8, 2024. According to the facility's investigation,
Resident CR2's Oxycodone 5 mg had not been delivered from the pharmacy. The licensed nursing staff on
duty were unable to obtain the medication from the facility's emergency supply (Cubix) because two nurses
were not duty during the shift that had access to the system. The facility requires two nurses for verification
to withdraw narcotic medication from the emergency supply.
Review of an employee witness statement dated February 19, 2024, received by the NHA on February 21,
2024, completed by Employee 1, registered nurse, indicated that on February 8, 2024, Resident CR2's
Oxycodone 5 mg was not available from pharmacy and the resident requested the medication for pain.
Employee 1 stated that she was not given access to the emergency pharmacy supply, therefore, the
narcotic medication could not be obtained for administration to the resident while awaiting delivery from
pharmacy. According to Employee 1, she was told by Employee 2, registered nurse, that she was instructed
by the Director of Nursing to take the medication from another resident to administer to Resident CR2, to
document the medication as wasted so that the medication count would remain correct.
Review of the control substance record for Resident 16 revealed that on February 8, 2024, at 6 PM, the
resident received his scheduled dose of Oxycodone 5 mg and at 9 PM, a dose of Oxycodone 5 mg was

Review of Resident CR2's Medication Administration Record dated February 2024, revealed that
Oxycodone 5 mg was administered at 10:54 PM on February 8, 2024
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 17's control substance record revealed that on February 9, 2024, at 2:30 AM, one
Oxycodone 5 mg tablet was also wasted by Employee 1.
Review of Resident CR2's MAR revealed that she received Oxycodone 5 mg at 3:03 AM for complaints of
pain on February 9, 2024.
Review of Resident CR2's control substance record revealed that Oxycodone 5 mg for Resident CR2 was
not delivered from pharmacy until dayshift on February 9, 2024. According to the record, 24 tablets were
delivered to the facility.
The facility's report noted that the pharmacy, physician, and the resident were made aware. The local police
and the Area Agency on Aging were notified. The facility reimbursed the residents for the borrowed
medication.
A review of a Report Form for Investigation of Alleged Abuse, Neglect, or Misappropriation of Property
(PB-22) submitted by the facility to the Pennsylvania Department of Health on February 21, 2024, revealed
the facility completed their investigation on February 26, 2024, and concluded that misappropriation of
resident property was substantiated.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on March 27, 2024, at
approximately 1:00 PM confirmed the facility failed to ensure that Residents 16 and 17 were free from
misappropriation of property. The NHA confirmed the roles the former Director of Nursing, Employee 1, and
Employee 2's played in the misappropriation. The DON subsequently confessed to instructing licensed staff
to waste narcotic medication dispensed for other residents to Resident CR2. The NHA stated during the
survey the DON no longer works at the facility.
This deficiency is cited as past non-compliance.
The facility's corrective action plan included the following:
1.
Resident 16 representative was notified regarding the misappropriate of one oxycodone. Resident 16 was
reimbursed the cost of the medication. Employees 1 & 2 were suspended immediately on February 21,
2024, pending the outcome of the investigation. Internal investigation identified concern related to the
Director of Nursing providing direction on obtaining unavailable medication. The DON subsequently
resigned. Employees 1 and 2 were provided education prior to returning to work. Employees 1 and 2 were
compensated for missed time during suspension. Employee 1 was provided access to the Cubex
(emergency pharmacy supply).
2.
The DON/designee completed an audit of narcotic sheets of all current narcotics to ensure there are no
noted concerns. DON/designee completed an audit to ensure nursing staff have access to Cubex.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and medication records, and resident and staff interview it was determined that
the facility failed to provide pharmacy services, routine drugs and pharmaceuticals, to ensure timely
medication administration as prescribed for one resident out of 16 residents sampled (Resident 14).
Findings included:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses, of diabetes, hypertension, and H. pylori infection (Helicobacter pylori, bacteria that infects the
stomach).
A review of the resident's March 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that on March 23,
2024, the resident was prescribed Bismuth Subsalicylate (an over-the-counter medication to treat diarrhea,
heartburn, nausea, and upset stomach) 525 mg, two tablets every 6 hours for treatment of H. pylori for 14
days. The medication was scheduled for administration at 6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM, and 12 AM.
There was no evidence that the medication was administered to the resident on March 23, 2024, at 12 AM
or 6 AM, on March 25, 2024, at 12 PM or 6 PM, or on March 26, 2024, at 12 PM. According to
documentation in the resident's March 2024 MAR, the medication was not available from pharmacy for
administration to the resident.
A list of over-the-counter medications supplied by the facility was provided during the survey of on March
27, 2024, which revealed that Bismuth Subsalicylate 525 mg liquid was included on the list of available
OTC medications.
There was no evidence that the resident's physician was consulted to ascertain if an alternate form of the
medication, the liquid, may be adminstered to the resident instead of the tablets.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 27, 2024, at 1 PM, confirmed that the licensed
staff failed to administer the prescribed medication to Resident 14. The NHA further confirmed that the
facility should have contacted the physician regarding the alternate form of the medication readily available
in the facility for administration to the resident.
