Health deficiencies cited at Ambler Extended Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Bathroom Call Bell Not Accessible: A resident with bilateral AKA, osteoporosis, limited ROM, and assistance needs for toileting had a bathroom call bell that was not intact and not accessible on repeated observations. The resident said it had been that way for weeks, and the NHA confirmed it should have been intact and accessible.
Failure to Provide Ordered Nebulizer Treatment: A resident with COPD, a hx of COVID-19, and daily smoking had an order for PRN ipratropium-albuterol via nebulizer for SOB or wheezing, but staff documented SOB on multiple shifts without evidence the medication was given. The resident was observed using a nebulizer mask with mist running, and she stated she used drinking water in the nebulizer after cigarette breaks and was unaware of the health risks; the Administrator confirmed staff did not administer the ordered neb treatment and the resident self-administered water instead.
The facility failed to maintain accurate controlled substance reconciliation records for one medication cart. Policy required incoming and outgoing nurses to count Schedule II controlled substances and other abuse-risk meds at each shift change or at least daily and document the count, but the logs for the front cart showed missing count documentation on multiple days. The DON confirmed the counts were not documented and signed off as required.
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment in a shower room on the [NAME] nursing unit. A resident reported messiness and mold, which was confirmed by observations of dirt, a soiled toilet, a dirty ceiling light, a wet sheet on the floor, mold on tiles, and broken plastic bumpers.
The facility failed to properly dispose of trash and refuse, as observed in the dumpster area. Multiple pieces of crushed plastic, cardboard debris, Styrofoam cups, food debris, an opened milk carton, and used gloves were found around the dumpster. Additionally, two bags of garbage and a window curtain were sticking out from below the dumpster, and a collapsed bin with leaves was behind it.
Bathroom Call Bell Not Accessible
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the call bell was accessible in the bathroom for one resident. The resident had diagnoses including right and left above-the-knee amputations and osteoporosis, was cognitively intact, could communicate needs to staff, had limited range of motion in both legs, and required assistance with toileting. The care plan identified the resident as at risk for falls related to the above-the-knee amputations and directed staff to provide assistance with toileting and mobility as needed and to encourage use of the call bell for assistance. Observations showed that the call bell in the resident’s bathroom was not intact and was not accessible on multiple occasions, and the resident stated it had been that way for a few weeks. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the call bell should have been intact and accessible.
Failure to Provide Ordered Nebulizer Treatment
Penalty
Summary
Adequate respiratory treatment and services were not provided for a resident with COPD, a history of COVID-19, and daily cigarette smoking. The resident had an order for ipratropium-albuterol solution via nebulizer four times daily as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing, and a care plan directing staff to administer respiratory treatments as ordered and assess the resident before and after each treatment. The resident also had an order to be assessed for shortness of breath when lying flat on every shift. Review of the MAR showed staff documented shortness of breath while lying flat on multiple shifts, including on March 7 and March 8, 2026, but there was no evidence that the as-needed nebulizer medication was administered at those times. During observation, the resident was seen lying in bed with a nebulizer mask on her face while aerosolized mist was coming from the mask and the compressor was running. In interview, the resident stated she felt short of breath after cigarette breaks, used water from her drinking cup in the nebulizer, and was not aware of the health risks of using water in the nebulizer. The Administrator confirmed staff did not administer the nebulizer medication and that the resident poured drinking water into the nebulizer cup and administered it to herself.
Missing Controlled Substance Count Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain accurate reconciliation records for controlled substances on one medication cart, identified as the front cart. Facility policy required incoming and outgoing nurses to count all Schedule II controlled substances and other medications with a risk of abuse or diversion at each shift change or at least once daily and to document the count on a Controlled Substance Count Verification/Shift Count Sheet. Review of the controlled substance logs for the front cart showed no documented evidence that the controlled substances were counted on two of 20 days in February 2026 and on one of nine days in March 2026. During an interview, the DON confirmed that there was no evidence the controlled substances were counted and signed off on the identified dates as required by facility policy.
Unsanitary Conditions in Shower Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary and comfortable environment in one of its shower rooms on the [NAME] nursing unit. During a confidential resident interview, a resident reported that the shower rooms were messy and had mold in the shower stalls. Observations confirmed these claims, revealing a piece of wood on top of the heater, dirt on the wall near the heater, and a soiled toilet bowl with urine and feces. Additionally, the ceiling light over the tub was dirty inside the light cover, and a wet sheet was found on the floor in front of the shower stall. A black substance, identified as mold, was present on the tile flooring and bottom tile moldings of the shower stall. Furthermore, the plastic bumpers near the entrance of the shower stall were broken and damaged.
Improper Disposal of Trash and Refuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly dispose of trash and refuse, as observed in the dumpster area. On February 25, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., multiple pieces of crushed plastic and cardboard debris, Styrofoam cups, food debris, an opened milk carton with a clumpy white substance, and used gloves were found around the outside of the dumpster. Additionally, two bags of garbage and a window curtain were sticking out from below the dumpster, and a collapsed bin with a layer of leaves on top was located behind the dumpster.
