Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Stoneridge Poplar Run during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to Complete Significant Change MDS Assessment: A resident experienced a decline in overall status and began hospice services, but no significant change MDS assessment was completed to reflect the change. The Administrator confirmed the MDS had not been completed after the resident’s condition changed.
A resident with Parkinson’s disease, dementia, dysphagia following CVA, malnutrition, and GERD with esophagitis had an MDS that stated tube feeding was being used, even though the record contained no documented evidence of tube feeding and a physician later ordered a regular mechanical soft diet. The Administrator confirmed the MDS did not accurately reflect the resident’s nutrition status.
Improper Storage of Resident Food Items: Food items in a resident pantry refrigerator and freezer were found unlabeled or undated, including ice cream, popsicles, juice boxes, a Boost drink, soda, cookies, grapefruit, spaghetti, candy, and lemonade. Facility policy required nursing staff to label and date resident food items, and the DON/Administrator confirmed the refrigerator was for resident food only and items were to be dated and labeled with the resident's name.
QAPI committee attendance was incomplete, as required members did not attend quarterly meetings reviewed. Records showed the Infection Preventionist and Medical Director missed the QAPI meeting in one quarter, and the Medical Director missed meetings in two additional quarters. The Administrator confirmed the facility did not ensure all required committee members attended QAPI meetings at least quarterly.
Failure to Provide Bed-Hold and Transfer Notices: The facility did not provide written bed-hold policy notices or transfer notices to the resident, family, or legal rep, and did not notify the State LTC Ombudsman for four sampled residents who were transferred to the hospital after changes in condition. The Administrator confirmed that no transfer or bed-hold notices were provided in these cases.
The facility failed to maintain proper food storage and sanitation in the skilled unit and main kitchen. An ice machine and can opener were found with substances and a hair, while several food items in the walk-in coolers were either past their use-by dates or undated. The Executive Chef confirmed these issues.
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for two residents. One resident with dementia and a lumbar spine compression fracture did not have pain management interventions included in their care plan, despite receiving daily scheduled pain medication. Another resident with cognitive communication deficits and anxiety did not have interventions for cognitive loss and dementia included in their care plan. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed these omissions.
The facility did not ensure that all required staff attended QAPI Committee meetings quarterly, as per their QAPI Plan. The Medical Director and Infection Preventionist were absent from meetings between April and August 2024, which was confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator.
The facility did not provide written notification to residents and their representatives about hospital transfers, including reasons and Ombudsman information, for three residents transferred after a change in condition. The Administrator confirmed the lack of documentation for these notifications.
Failure to Complete Significant Change MDS Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a significant change in condition was completed for Resident 2. Clinical record review showed that the resident experienced a decline in overall status and hospice services began on October 17, 2025. No MDS assessment was completed to reflect the resident’s significant change in condition, and the Administrator confirmed in interview on November 14, 2025, at 10:29 a.m. that the significant change MDS assessment had not been completed.
Inaccurate MDS Nutrition Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected Resident 7’s current status. Resident 7 had diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease, dementia, dysphagia following cerebral infarction, moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, and gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis without bleeding. A physician ordered a regular, mechanical soft diet on September 12, 2025, but the MDS assessment dated August 15, 2025, indicated that the resident received nutrition through a tube feed. The clinical record contained no documented evidence that Resident 7 received nutrition through a tube feed, and the Administrator confirmed in interview that the MDS assessment did not accurately reflect the resident’s nutrition status.
Improper Storage of Resident Food Items
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store food in a sanitary manner on one of two nursing units, Health Care 1. During observation of the resident pantry, multiple food items in the refrigerator and freezer were found without required dating or resident identification. These included two opened containers of ice cream, two opened boxes of ice cream popsicles, three juice boxes, one Boost drink, a six-pack of soda, a plastic zip-lock bag of cookies, a container of pink grapefruit, a container of spaghetti, two boxes of candy, and two opened containers of lemonade that were not dated or labeled with a resident name. One opened bottle of orange drink was dated October 19, but other items were not dated or labeled as required by facility policy. The facility policy stated that nursing staff were to label and date resident food items requiring refrigeration, and the Administrator confirmed that the refrigerator was for resident food only and that staff were to date and label items with the resident's name.
QAPI Committee Attendance Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all required QAPI committee members attended quarterly Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement meetings for three of four quarters reviewed. Review of the facility’s QAPI sign-in sheets and attendance records showed that during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Infection Preventionist and Medical Director did not attend the meeting. Records for the first three quarters of 2025 showed that the Medical Director did not attend the meetings held during the second and third quarters. During an interview on November 12, 2025, at 12:10 p.m., the Administrator confirmed that the facility failed to ensure all required committee members attended QAPI meetings at least quarterly.

Resident 3 was transferred on July 18, 2025, after a change in condition, and the record did not show that the resident and/or responsible party or legal representative received written information about the facility’s bed-hold policy or the hospital transfer, or that the facility notified the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Resident 11 was transferred to the hospital on December 9, 2024, and October 6, 2025, after changes in condition, and there was no documented evidence that written bed-hold information or transfer notice was provided to the resident and/or responsible party or legal representative, or that copies of the transfer notice were sent to a representative of the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Resident 14 was transferred on January 31, 2025, and February 11, 2025, after changes in condition, and Resident 20 was transferred on September 26, 2025, and October 25, 2025, after changes in condition; for both residents, the record did not show written bed-hold notice, transfer notice to the resident or representative, or notification to the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.

Food Storage and Sanitation Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly store food and maintain sanitary conditions in both the skilled unit kitchen and the main kitchen of the dietary department. During a tour of the skilled unit kitchen, an ice machine was found with a white substance on the lid and a dark substance inside on the ice shield. Additionally, a can opener had a black dried substance on the blade and a hair was observed on it. In the main kitchen, Walk-In Cooler 1 contained an opened package of lunch meat and mozzarella cheese, both past their use-by dates. Walk-In Cooler 2 had undated items including two large pans of bread stuffing, two opened containers of sliced turkey, an opened package of unsliced turkey, and a pan of pureed sausage. The Executive Chef confirmed these items were intended for the Skilled Unit and acknowledged they should have been dated but were not.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for two residents, as identified during a clinical record review and staff interview. Resident 17, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia and a lumbar spine compression fracture, was noted in the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment to receive daily scheduled pain medication. However, the care plan did not include interventions to address the resident's pain, despite the Care Area Assessment (CAA) summary indicating that pain management should be included. Similarly, Resident 18, admitted with cognitive communication deficits and anxiety, was noted in the MDS assessment to have impaired cognition. The CAA summary specified that the resident's cognitive loss and dementia should be addressed in the care plan, but no such interventions were included. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that these care areas were not addressed in the care plans.
Failure to Ensure Required Attendance at QAPI Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all required staff members attended the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee meetings on a quarterly basis, as mandated by their QAPI Plan. The plan, last reviewed on November 2, 2023, specified that the Quality Assessment and Assurance (QA&A) Committee must meet at least quarterly and include the Medical Director (MD) and the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Officer. However, a review of the QAPI Committee meeting sign-in sheets from April through August 2024 revealed that the Medical Director was only present in April 2024, and the Infection Preventionist was last present in May 2024. In an interview conducted on October 3, 2024, the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the MD and IPC Officer did not attend the required meetings during the specified period. This failure to comply with the facility's policy and state regulations was identified as a deficiency under 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1)(3) Management.
