Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Moravian Village Of Bethlehem during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple thoracic vertebral fractures, rib fractures, and severe kyphosis had a buprenorphine transdermal patch that, per manufacturer instructions and a hospital summary, was to be discontinued after completion of the current patch. Facility staff did not identify the patch order, did not monitor its use, and did not remove it as directed, resulting in the patch remaining on the resident’s upper arm for 13 days instead of the recommended seven. The DON later confirmed that the order was not recognized until a nurse discovered the patch during the resident’s transfer to the hospital and that it should have been removed earlier.
A resident with atrial fibrillation had a physician order for propafenone 225 mg TID, but three scheduled doses were not administered on a specific day because the medication was not provided timely by the pharmacy. Review of the MAR confirmed the missed doses, and the DON acknowledged during interview that the ordered anti-arrhythmia medication had not been given as prescribed, resulting in a deficiency in pharmacy and nursing services.
A resident with atrial fibrillation had a care plan directing staff to provide showers twice weekly, but review of the ADL Verification Worksheet showed missing documentation for four scheduled shower occasions over a multi-week period. During an interview, the DON was unable to produce records confirming that the showers were offered or provided as care planned, resulting in incomplete and inaccurate clinical documentation of nursing services.
A resident with a broken ankle and diabetes did not receive an ordered anti-embolic stocking to the left leg, as required for swelling. Observations showed the stocking was not applied, though nurses documented it as completed. The resident confirmed the intervention was never performed, and the DON acknowledged the order was not followed.
Failure to Timely Identify and Remove Buprenorphine Patch
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure a resident’s drug regimen was free from unnecessary medication when a buprenorphine transdermal patch was not identified, monitored, or removed in accordance with manufacturer instructions and hospital discharge directions. Manufacturer guidance specified that the buprenorphine patch should be changed at the same time of day exactly seven days after application, with the date and time of removal documented. The resident, admitted with multiple acute thoracic vertebral fractures, multiple right rib fractures, and severe kyphosis, had a hospital after-visit summary dated March 10, 2026, indicating that the buprenorphine patch was to be discontinued after completion of the current patch. Clinical record review and staff interview showed that the facility did not identify the buprenorphine patch order until March 23, 2026, when the resident was transferred to the hospital for a change in condition and a nurse observed the patch still on the resident’s upper arm. As a result, the patch remained in place for 13 days, exceeding the recommended seven-day duration, without appropriate monitoring or timely removal by facility staff. The DON confirmed that the buprenorphine patch order had not been identified prior to March 23, 2026, and acknowledged that staff should have removed the patch earlier, demonstrating a failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the hospital’s discontinuation order for this opioid medication.
Failure to Provide Ordered Anti-Arrhythmia Medication Due to Pharmacy Delay
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in pharmaceutical and nursing services when a physician-ordered anti-arrhythmia medication was not administered as prescribed to a resident. The resident, identified as CR 1, had been admitted with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation and had a physician’s order dated December 30, 2025, for propafenone 225 mg to be given three times daily. Review of the January 2026 MAR showed that three scheduled doses of propafenone were not administered on January 15, 2026. In an interview on March 12, 2026, at 1:21 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that these doses were not given and that the medication had not been provided timely by the pharmacy. These findings were cited under 28 Pa. Code 211.9(d) related to pharmacy services and 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(3)(5) related to nursing services.
Incomplete ADL Documentation for Scheduled Showers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure complete and accurate clinical record documentation for one resident, identified as CR 1. This resident was admitted with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, and the care plan specified that staff were to provide showers twice weekly. Review of the facility’s ADL (Activities of Daily Living) Verification Worksheet showed that between January 21, 2026, and February 5, 2026, there was no documentation to support that showers were offered or provided twice weekly on four occasions as care planned. In an interview on March 12, 2026, at 1:14 p.m., the Director of Nursing was unable to provide documentation that the showers had been provided as identified in the resident’s plan of care, indicating incomplete and inaccurate clinical record documentation. This deficiency was cited under 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(5) related to nursing services.
Failure to Implement Physician's Order for Anti-Embolic Stocking
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to implement a physician's order for a resident with a broken right ankle and diabetes, which required the daily application and nightly removal of an anti-embolic stocking to the left leg due to swelling. Clinical record review and direct observation on multiple occasions revealed that the anti-embolic stocking was not applied as ordered, despite nurses documenting on the Treatment Administration Record that the intervention was completed. The resident also reported never having the stocking applied to her left leg. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the order was not followed and that the documentation indicating otherwise was incorrect.
