Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mosser Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors identified that the dietary department failed to follow its own food storage and labeling procedures, including maintaining use‑by dates and proper containers. Undated prepared manicotti shells were found in a freezer, hard‑boiled eggs past their use‑by date with abnormal liquid were stored in a refrigerator, expired sauerkraut was present in dry storage, and opened bags of rice and Panko breadcrumbs were left exposed to air without proper containers. An opened, undated bag of Texas Toast was also found in the walk‑in refrigerator. The Certified Dietary Manager acknowledged that these items were improperly stored and/or labeled.
Surveyors identified that two residents' MDS assessments were either incomplete or inaccurately documented. One resident's assessment lacked required sections on mental status and mood, while another resident's assessment failed to indicate that hospice services were being provided, despite a physician's order. These issues were confirmed by the RNAC during review.
A resident with multiple cardiac and renal diagnoses received or was withheld a prescribed blood pressure medication on numerous occasions without staff documenting required heart rate and blood pressure assessments prior to administration or withholding, as ordered by the physician. The DON confirmed the absence of this documentation.
A resident with cognitive impairment and limited ROM in the right foot was observed multiple times without the physician-ordered MAFO brace while out of bed. Despite a documented contracture and clear orders for the orthosis to be worn, staff did not ensure the intervention was implemented.
An LPN was observed administering eye medication to a resident without wearing gloves, contrary to the facility's infection control policy requiring glove use when contact with mucous membranes is anticipated. The DON confirmed that gloves should have been used during this procedure.
Improper Food Storage, Labeling, and Dating in Dietary Department
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store and serve food in a sanitary manner in the dietary department, contrary to its policy requiring foods to be labeled with use-by dates, discarded when past those dates, and stored in tightly covered, labeled containers. During a kitchen tour, surveyors observed nine prepared manicotti pasta shells in the cooking-area freezer stored in an undated freezer bag. In the cooking-area refrigerator, four hard-boiled eggs with a yellow watery substance were stored in a plastic bag labeled with a use-by date that had already passed. In the dry storage room, five bags of sauerkraut were labeled with expiration dates that had already passed, and an opened bag of rice and a 25‑pound bag of Panko breadcrumbs were left exposed to the air without proper containers. In the walk‑in refrigerator, an opened, undated bag of Texas Toast was also observed. The Certified Dietary Manager confirmed that these items were improperly stored and/or labeled. No specific residents or patient conditions were mentioned in the report, and the deficiency centers on the improper storage, labeling, and dating of food items in various storage areas of the dietary department, in violation of facility policy and 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) regarding the responsibility of the licensee.
Inaccurate and Incomplete MDS Assessments for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for two of twelve sampled residents. For one resident with cognitive communication deficit and major depressive disorder, the MDS assessment was found to be incomplete, specifically missing information in Sections C (Brief Interview for Mental Status) and D (Mood assessment/interview). Another resident, diagnosed with dementia and nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, was receiving hospice services per physician order, but the MDS assessment did not document that hospice services were in place, inaccurately reflecting the resident's care status. These inaccuracies were confirmed by the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator during staff interview. The deficiencies were identified through clinical record review and staff interview, with direct evidence of incomplete or inaccurate documentation in the residents' MDS assessments.
Failure to Document Vital Signs Prior to Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement physician's orders for a resident with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, and hypertensive retinopathy. The physician had ordered that staff administer metoprolol tartrate twice daily, with instructions not to give the medication if the resident's heart rate was below 60 beats per minute or if systolic blood pressure was below 110 mm/Hg. Review of the resident's medication administration records for April and May 2025 showed that staff either administered or withheld the medication 86 times without documenting that heart rate and blood pressure were assessed prior to the decision, as required by the physician's order. The Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no documented evidence of these vital sign assessments prior to medication administration or withholding.
Failure to Implement Physician-Ordered ROM Intervention
Penalty
Summary
A resident with diagnoses including dementia, muscle weakness, and gait abnormalities was identified as having limited range of motion (ROM) in the right foot and was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and dressing. The clinical record showed that a physician ordered a molded ankle foot orthosis (MAFO) to be worn at all times on the right foot when the resident was out of bed. Despite this order, multiple observations over two days found the resident in a wheelchair without the MAFO brace applied. The Therapy Director confirmed that the resident had a contracture of the right foot and that the MAFO should have been in use during these observations. The facility failed to implement the prescribed intervention to prevent further decline or improve the resident's ROM, as evidenced by the absence of the MAFO brace during the observed periods.
Failure to Follow Infection Control Protocol During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was observed administering Ocusoft lid scrubs to the eyes of Resident 33 without wearing gloves. The facility's infection control policy, last reviewed on January 31, 2025, requires gloves to be worn whenever exposure to mucous membranes, such as the eyes, is planned or anticipated. The Director of Nursing confirmed that gloves should have been used during this procedure. This incident occurred on one of two nursing units (West Wing) and was determined through policy review, observation, and staff interview.
