Summary

The facility failed to provide a dignified dining experience for one of three observed residents when the Director of Nursing (DON) fed the resident while standing. The resident, identified as R81, had been admitted earlier in the month and had documented diagnoses including stroke, dementia, and high blood pressure, as recorded on the MDS dated 2/28/26. On 3/30/26 at 12:05 p.m., surveyors observed Resident R81 seated in a wheelchair in the main dining room being fed by the DON, who remained standing during the feeding interaction. During an interview at 12:06 p.m. on the same day, the DON confirmed that they were not in a seated position while feeding the resident, as required, thereby acknowledging that the facility did not provide a dignified dining experience for this resident. This conduct was cited as noncompliance with 28 Pa. Code 211.10(a)(c)(d) regarding resident care policies and 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(2)(5) regarding nursing services.
