These deficiencies were confirmed by the Assistant Director of Nutritional Services and reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and DON.
The facility failed to implement proper infection control measures, including covering a resident's shingles rash, storing supplies correctly, and posting necessary signage for Enhanced Barrier Precautions. These deficiencies were confirmed through observations and staff interviews.
A facility failed to ensure the accuracy of a resident's discharge assessment. A discharge MDS inaccurately indicated that a resident was discharged to a hospital, while records showed the resident was discharged to home. This discrepancy was identified during a clinical record review and confirmed through interviews with the resident and staff.
A resident with a sacral ulcer did not receive timely reassessment and care updates, leading to wound deterioration. Initial observations of changes in the wound were not promptly addressed, resulting in a delay of 3.75 days before a registered nurse reassessed the wound, which had worsened by then.
A facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care for a resident who required oxygen therapy. Observations revealed an oxygen concentrator with undated and improperly stored nasal cannula tubing. The resident confirmed not using oxygen recently, and the facility did not adhere to proper cleaning protocols for respiratory equipment, as emphasized by the American Association for Respiratory Care.
A facility failed to ensure nursing staff had the necessary competencies for medication administration and care of residents with indwelling urinary catheters and PEG tubes. A resident required specific catheter care, and another needed both catheter and PEG tube management. However, a registered nurse lacked documented competencies in these areas, as confirmed by the facility's administrator.
A facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered care plan for a resident diagnosed with dementia. Despite the resident's diagnosis, there was no evidence of a care plan addressing dementia and cognitive loss. This deficiency was confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator and DON during a survey.
A resident was prescribed Lunesta, a sedative hypnotic, upon admission, but the facility failed to include this in the care plan or monitor target behaviors. Interviews with the administration confirmed the absence of a care plan or monitoring for the medication use.
A resident did not receive the recommended pneumococcal immunization due to the facility's failure to offer it when she became eligible.

The facility was found to have unsanitary conditions in the main kitchen and across five nursing units. Observations included dried food splatter, dust-covered vents, and improper food storage practices, such as storing ice cream with therapeutic ice packs and frozen meat products. These deficiencies were noted during a survey and discussed with the DON.
A resident's privacy was compromised when an audio monitoring system was used without documented consent. The facility's policy requires consent for sound monitoring, but during observations, voices were heard on an audio monitor at the nurses' station, including a conversation about toileting needs. The resident's clinical record lacked the necessary consent documentation, as confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator and DON.
A facility failed to implement its abuse policy by not thoroughly investigating a missing Phenobarbital pill for a resident. Despite policies requiring investigation protocols for misappropriation, the facility did not conduct a thorough investigation, and there was no documented evidence of an investigation or witness statements. The DON confirmed these findings.
The facility failed to provide written notice of its bed hold policy to residents or their representatives during hospital transfers. This deficiency was identified for three residents who were transferred due to a change in condition. In each case, there was no documentation of the required notice being given. These findings were confirmed through clinical record reviews and interviews with the DON and the Nursing Home Administrator.
A facility failed to ensure accurate MDS assessments for a resident, as records incorrectly indicated active pneumonia and sepsis diagnoses, despite the resident not having these conditions since the previous year. An interview with the Administrator confirmed these findings.
A facility failed to follow physician orders for a resident's care, including the placement of bilateral halo enabler bars on the bed and the proper management of a boot for a right ankle fracture. The resident's clinical records showed no documentation of daily removal, washing, and proper reapplication of the boot as instructed by the podiatrist.
The facility failed to assess bed rail entrapment risks for two residents, only evaluating zones one, two, and three, while neglecting zones four, six, and seven. This oversight was identified through observations and clinical record reviews, indicating a deficiency in the facility's safety protocols.
The facility failed to provide required written notifications to residents and their responsible parties for hospital transfers. A resident was transferred without notification on two occasions, while another resident was transferred without notification on a separate occasion. The notifications should have included reasons for transfer, effective dates, new locations, and contact information for the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman and appeal rights.

Food Safety and Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, as evidenced by multiple observations in the main kitchen and two nursing units. In the main kitchen, there was a moderate amount of black grease buildup in the fryer, dust accumulation on clean pans stored on top of the oven, and dried brown spills inside the food warmer. Additionally, the dishwashing area had a windowsill caked with white debris, and the walk-in freezer contained open boxes of hamburger patties and chicken breasts exposed to air. Food debris was also found under shelving units in the freezer, and a piece of metal wall covering was hanging off the wall in the walk-in cooler. Clean dishwashing racks had dried food debris, and an ice scoop was left uncovered on top of the ice machine, with dust and debris on the floor beneath it. The downstairs dry storage area had stained ceiling tiles and dried liquid inside a ceiling light cover. In the 200 and 300-unit nourishment rooms, refrigerators were stocked with individual juice containers without any indication of when they were placed there, their expiration dates, or when they needed to be used by. Employee 3, the Assistant Director of Nutritional Services, confirmed that the juices are delivered frozen and dated when removed from the freezer, but once stored in the unit refrigerators, they are not dated. Manufacturer instructions indicated that the juices should be used within 14 days of thawing, but there was no evidence to show when the juices were thawed or when the 14-day expiration would occur. These findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing.
Plan Of Correction
All deficient items found in the kitchen, dishroom and pantries were corrected. Staff will be reeducated on proper food storage, dating and the daily, weekly and monthly cleaning list. Proper food storage, dating and labeling will be added to the closing list of each position to ensure each station is being checked before the employee leaves for the day. Kitchen walk throughs by management to ensure cleaning lists are being completed and that dating and labeling of food is correct. A weekly audit for 4 weeks to ensure that employees are completing cleaning lists and storing food properly. Results of this audit will be reported to the Quality Assurance Committee.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement appropriate infection prevention and control measures for several residents, leading to deficiencies in care. Resident 96, who was admitted with a shingles rash, was observed in communal areas with the rash exposed, despite having orders for contact isolation. The rash was not covered, and the resident was seen interacting closely with others, which posed a risk of spreading the infection. The infection control nurse confirmed that the rash should have been covered to prevent transmission. Additionally, the facility did not adhere to proper storage protocols for resident supplies, as observed in the bathrooms of Residents 62 and 77. Supplies such as bladder pads and maxi pads were stored directly on the floor, which could contribute to the spread of infection. These observations were confirmed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing. The facility also failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for Resident 101, who had an indwelling urinary catheter. There was no visible signage outside the resident's room to indicate the need for EBP, and the facility's policy did not include guidelines for posting such signage. Interviews with staff confirmed the lack of proper communication and education regarding EBP, which is necessary to protect both residents and staff from potential infections.
Plan Of Correction
Facility cannot retroactively correct implementation of signs for EBP for resident 101. Resident 101 discharged from facility. Transmission based precautions have been discontinued for residents 96 due to resolution of condition. Items stored on the floor for residents 62 and 77 were moved and appropriately stored. Signage for residents with EBP have been moved to the outside of the door. There are currently no other residents on contact precautions. Resident rooms will be checked to ensure proper storage of personal hygiene products. The policy for EBP will be updated to reflect the use of signage and its placement. Nursing staff will be educated on policy change, maintaining contact precautions and storage of personal hygiene products. An audit of sign placement for residents on EBP will be completed weekly x 4 weeks. An audit for contact precautions compliance will be completed weekly x 4 weeks. Random audits of resident rooms for storage of personal hygiene products will be completed weekly x 4 weeks. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Inaccurate Discharge Assessment for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of assessments regarding a resident's discharge status. Specifically, for Resident 105, a discharge MDS dated February 3, 2025, inaccurately indicated that the resident was discharged to a hospital. However, further review of the clinical records, including a discharge summary from the same date, revealed that the resident was actually discharged to home. This discrepancy was identified during a clinical record review and confirmed through interviews with the resident and staff. The issue was discussed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 10, 2025.
Plan Of Correction
This Plan of Correction is submitted under Federal and state regulations and status applicable to long-term care providers. This Plan of Correction does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of the facility and such liability is hereby denied. The submission of this Plan of Correction does not constitute agreement by the facility that the surveyor's findings or conclusions are accurate, that the findings constitute a deficiency, or that the scope and severity regarding any of the deficiencies are cited correctly. Please accept this plan as our credible allegation of compliance. Discharge MDS for Resident 105 was corrected on 4/10/2025. Discharge MDS' completed over the last 30 days will be reviewed to ensure accuracy of section A2105. Assessment Coordinators will be re-educated on ensuring the accuracy of assessments prior to submission. An audit of discharged MDS will be completed monthly for 3 months to ensure accuracy. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Failure to Provide Timely Wound Care Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the highest practicable care for a resident with a sacral ulcer. Resident 150 was admitted with a sacral ulcer, and an initial assessment was conducted with measurements recorded. However, on a subsequent date, staff found the resident's dressing missing and noted changes in the wound, including yellow slough and a slight odor. Despite these observations, there was a delay in reassessment by the registered nurse, assistant director of nursing/infection preventionist, who did not evaluate the wound until 3.75 days later. During this delayed assessment, the nurse observed further deterioration, including the presence of bone at the wound base and purulent drainage. The delay in timely assessment and intervention for Resident 150's sacral ulcer led to a failure in providing care in accordance with professional standards. The staff's initial observations of changes in the wound were not promptly addressed by the responsible nurse, resulting in a lack of timely updates to the resident's care plan. This deficiency was identified during a clinical record review and staff interview, highlighting the facility's failure to ensure timely and appropriate wound care management for the resident.
Plan Of Correction
Resident 150's wound continues to be assessed by Employee 1 during wound rounds. Staff present during clinical rounds on April 7, 2025, were educated on the action of the treatment ordered and assessing characteristics of an evaluation of wound odor only after the area is cleansed. The RN present during the dressing change to the wound on April 6, 2025, entered a late entry note with her assessment of the wound. The physician's assistant evaluated Resident 150's wound on 4/17/25 with Employee 1. New orders were received for testing and treatment of the sacral ulcer. Other residents with pressure injuries will continue to be evaluated by the wound nurse. Any concerns will be addressed with the provider. Any identified educational need from licensed nursing will be addressed by a Registered Nurse. Licensed nursing staff will be educated on evaluation of wound characteristics and expected outcomes with a debriding agent. Nursing staff will also be educated on notification of the RN present in the facility when a wound concern arises, assessment of the concern by the RN, and notification to the provider when the concern needs to be addressed. An audit of residents with pressure injuries will be completed weekly for 6 weeks to ensure that any concern for healing is evaluated by the Registered Nurse and addressed by the provider. Results of this audit will be reported to the Quality Assurance Committee.
Failure to Provide Proper Respiratory Care and Equipment Maintenance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care and services for a resident, identified as Resident 28, who required respiratory care. The deficiency was identified through observation, clinical record review, and interviews. According to the clinical records, Resident 28 had a physician's order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula to maintain oxygen saturation levels above 91 percent. However, it was noted that the resident last used oxygen on March 28, 2025, and during observations on April 8 and April 9, 2025, an oxygen concentrator was found beside the resident's bed with an undated humidification cannister and unbagged, undated nasal cannula tubing draped over the concentrator and onto the floor. The resident confirmed during an interview on April 8, 2025, that they had not used oxygen recently. The American Association for Respiratory Care emphasizes the importance of proper cleaning of respiratory equipment to reduce infection risk, which was not adhered to in this case. The findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator on April 10, 2025, highlighting the facility's failure to ensure proper respiratory care and equipment maintenance for Resident 28.
Plan Of Correction
Oxygen concentrator for resident 28 was removed from the room due to non-use. Residents utilizing oxygen will be reviewed to ensure the need for respiratory equipment in their room. Equipment not in use will be removed. Equipment being utilized will be checked to ensure that it is dated and bagged appropriately. Nursing and housekeeping staff will be educated on oxygen equipment dating and bagging will be completed. Staff will be further educated to remove medical equipment upon resident admission to the hospital. Clinical coordinators/ RN supervisors or designee will check rooms of residents that are transferred to the hospital to ensure no respiratory equipment that is not in use remains. This audit will be completed weekly for 4 weeks. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Deficiency in Nursing Staff Competency for Specialized Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing staff possessed the necessary competencies and skill sets related to medication administration, care, and assessment of residents with indwelling urinary catheters and gastrostomy tubes. This deficiency was identified through a review of facility documentation, clinical records, employee personnel records, and staff interviews. Specifically, Employee 2, a registered nurse, did not have documented competencies in these areas, which are critical for the care of residents with specific medical needs. The facility's assessment, last updated in March 2025, indicated that RN competency and training should include catheter insertion and flushing, as well as medication administration, but did not explicitly cover RN care for artificial feeding systems. Resident 101 had active physician orders for urinary catheter irrigation and changes, while Resident 57 required specific care for both an indwelling urinary catheter and a PEG tube. Despite these needs, the facility could not provide evidence of Employee 2's competencies in these areas, as confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator. The RN orientation checklist lacked verification of competencies in medication administration, indwelling catheter care, or PEG tube care, highlighting a gap in ensuring that nursing staff were adequately trained to meet the residents' care requirements.
Plan Of Correction
Employee number 2 competency related to medication administration, the care and assessment of residents with indwelling urinary catheters and gastrostomy tubes will be completed. A baseline audit of nurses will be reviewed and ensure competencies are completed. Skills competency will be added to orientation checklist to be completed during orientation period. Registered Nurses will be educated on completion of the competency. An audit of newly hired nurses will be completed to ensure completion of competency monthly for 3 months. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Failure to Implement Dementia Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement individualized person-centered care plans for a resident diagnosed with dementia, as required by regulations. Resident 27 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of dementia, which affects memory, language, problem-solving, and other cognitive abilities. Despite this diagnosis, a review of the resident's care plan revealed no evidence of a person-centered care plan addressing the resident's dementia and cognitive loss. This deficiency was identified during a clinical record review and staff interview, and confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the absence of documentation for such a care plan prior to the surveyor's inquiry.
Plan Of Correction
The care plan for resident 27 was revised to reflect behavioral approaches related to cognitive loss and dementia. Other residents with dementia/cognitive loss care plans will be revised to reflect person-centered approaches to care. Staff will be educated on the implementation of person-centered care plans for residents with cognitive loss/dementia. A random audit of residents with dementia/cognitive loss will be completed to ensure person-centered care plans are implemented monthly for three months. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Failure to Monitor Psychotropic Medication Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's medication regimen was free from potentially unnecessary medication. Resident 101 was admitted on March 14, 2025, with an active physician order for Lunesta, a sedative hypnotic medication, to be administered at bedtime. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) completed on March 19, 2025, indicated that the resident was receiving a hypnotic medication, and the facility planned to develop a care plan for the psychotropic medication use. However, upon review, it was found that the care plans for Resident 101 did not include the use of a sedative hypnotic for sleep, nor did they include non-pharmacological interventions or identify target behaviors to support the continued use of the medication. Interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator, Director of Nursing, and an assistant director of nursing confirmed that there was no plan of care or monitoring of target behaviors for the resident's use of the sedative hypnotic.
Plan Of Correction
Resident 101 is no longer a resident of the facility. A baseline audit of residents utilizing psychotropic medications will be reviewed to ensure that care plans are in place to address target behaviors and non-pharmacological interventions. Nursing staff, Social Service, and Assessment Nurses will be educated on the implementation of care plans for residents utilizing psychotropic medications. An audit of residents with new orders for psychotropic medications will be reviewed to ensure the appropriate care plan is in place weekly for 4 weeks. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Failure to Provide Updated Pneumococcal Immunization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the recommended pneumococcal immunization to a resident, identified as Resident 4, as required by their policies and procedures. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in February 2022 and had previously received two pneumococcal vaccines, Pneumovax 23 and Prevnar 13, prior to admission. According to CDC guidance, Resident 4's pneumococcal vaccinations would not be complete until she received a Prevnar 20 or Prevnar 21 at least five years after her last dose. However, there was no documented evidence that the facility offered Resident 4 the updated pneumococcal vaccination when she became eligible. An interview with the infection control preventionist, Employee 1, confirmed that the facility missed obtaining consent and offering the updated pneumococcal vaccination to Resident 4 when she became eligible. Employee 1 acknowledged that at the time of sending Prevnar 20 consents in January 2024, Resident 4 was not yet eligible. When she became eligible, the facility failed to follow up and offer the vaccination. This oversight was confirmed during a staff interview, and Resident 4's family later indicated their desire for her to receive the vaccination.
Plan Of Correction
Responsible party for resident number 4 was contacted and offered pneumonia vaccine. He initially consented, but due to resident's decline in condition, he has revoked his consent. A baseline audit of current residents was conducted. Consents for those that are eligible this year will be sent to responsible parties/residents. Residents that consented for pneumonia vaccines will be scheduled based on eligibility date. An audit of eligible residents will be conducted to ensure administration of pneumonia vaccine as ordered monthly for 3 months. Results of this audit will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Committee to evaluate the need for ongoing auditing or further education.
Sanitation and Food Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in its main kitchen and across five nursing units, as observed by surveyors. In the main kitchen, significant dried food splatter was found on the wall near the dish machine, extending from the ceiling to the floor and onto adjacent areas. The exterior of a garbage can near the pot washing sink was covered with dried liquid spills and food. Additionally, the vents on the hood unit above the cooking area were covered in dust, and a [NAME] by the food serving line had a buildup of crumbs, dried food, and debris. In the nourishment areas of the nursing units, various unsanitary conditions were noted. On the 400 unit, a large brown water stain was observed under the sink, and a drawer with beverage mugs and thickening packets was significantly worn, exposing a paperboard surface. The 500-unit nourishment area had a refrigerator/freezer with a folded towel and therapeutic ice packs stored alongside ice cream cups, and the bottom storage bins contained dust, debris, and a dried brown substance. Similar issues were found in the 200, 600, and 700-unit kitchen areas, where ice cream was stored with therapeutic ice packs and frozen meat products, indicating improper food storage practices.
Privacy Breach Due to Unauthorized Audio Monitoring
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to respect a resident's privacy by improperly using an audio monitoring system without obtaining the necessary consent. The policy on sound monitoring, last reviewed on May 22, 2024, states that sound monitoring systems may be used in a resident's room to alert staff when a resident attempts to rise without assistance, but only after other interventions have proven ineffective. Consent from the resident or their representative must be documented in the resident's electronic medical record before initiating sound monitoring. However, during observations on May 28 and 29, 2024, voices were heard on an audio monitor at the nurses' station, including a conversation about toileting needs involving a resident. A review of the clinical records for the resident involved revealed that the facility admitted the resident on August 11, 2022, and added a sound detection monitor to their care plan on October 4, 2023, to be used during sleeping hours. Despite this, there was no documented consent for the use of the audio monitor in the resident's clinical record. Interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing confirmed the lack of consent documentation and that the audio monitor was intended for use only during sleeping hours. This oversight resulted in a breach of the resident's right to privacy.
Failure to Investigate Missing Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its abuse policy regarding the thorough investigation of missing medications for a resident. The policy, titled Abuse Prevention Program, requires the development of investigation protocols for the misappropriation of property, including medications. However, the facility was unable to provide further policies or procedures regarding these investigation protocols. Additionally, the Medication Error Guidelines policy states that a search should be conducted for missing medication, and if it cannot be found, the responsible staff member may be suspended pending an investigation. Despite these policies, the facility did not conduct a thorough investigation into the missing Phenobarbital pill for the resident. The clinical record review revealed that a narcotic count discrepancy was noted for the resident, with one Phenobarbital pill missing and not signed out by the medication nurse. Employee 1, an LPN, was unable to account for the missing pill, and it was unclear if an extra dose was given to the resident. The facility's investigation only concluded that Employee 1 might have given an extra dose, without thoroughly investigating the possibility of misappropriation. There was no documented evidence of an investigation, including witness statements from Employee 1, the previous shift medication nurse, or the registered nurse supervisor. The Director of Nursing confirmed these findings.
Failure to Provide Bed Hold Policy Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide written notice of its bed hold policy to residents or their representatives at the time of transfer to a hospital, as required. This deficiency was identified for three residents who were transferred to the hospital due to a change in condition. Specifically, Resident 97 was transferred on April 26, 2024, Resident 105 was transferred on April 2 and April 27, 2024, and Resident 56 was transferred on April 9, 2024. In each case, there was no documentation indicating that the facility provided the required written notice regarding the bed hold policy to the residents or their responsible parties upon their transfer to the hospital. These findings were confirmed through clinical record reviews and interviews with the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure complete and accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for a resident. A review of the resident's clinical record revealed discrepancies in the MDS assessments dated February 21, 2024, and May 14, 2024. These assessments incorrectly indicated that the resident had an active pneumonia infection and a sepsis diagnosis, despite the resident not having these conditions since December 16, 2023. An interview with the Administrator on May 30, 2024, confirmed these findings.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders for Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the highest practicable care for a resident, identified as Resident 105, by not adhering to physician-ordered interventions and treatments. A clinical record review revealed a current physician order for the placement of bilateral halo enabler bars on the resident's bed, which were not observed during a surveyor's visit. Additionally, the resident had attended a podiatry appointment for a right ankle fracture, resulting in an order for a boot on the right lower extremity (RLE). The podiatrist instructed that the boot be removed daily, the leg washed, and the boot reapplied with a sock, ensuring the foot was flat and the heel was in the back of the boot. However, there was no documentation indicating that these instructions were followed from the date of the order until the surveyor's identification of the issue.
Failure to Assess Bed Rail Entrapment Risks
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adequately assess the risk of side rail entrapment for two residents, identified as Residents 97 and 106, during a survey for accident hazards. The facility's assessment process only evaluated zones one, two, and three, neglecting to assess zones four, six, and seven, which are critical for ensuring resident safety. Specifically, for Resident 97, the facility's documentation indicated that zones four, six, and seven were marked as not applicable, despite the presence of bilateral halo enabler bars on the bed. Similarly, for Resident 106, there was no documentation of an assessment for zones six or seven, even though a halo enabler bar was present on the door side of the bed. The oversight in assessing these zones was identified through observations and clinical record reviews conducted by the surveyors. The lack of comprehensive assessment for all potential entrapment zones represents a significant deficiency in the facility's safety protocols. The Director of Nursing was informed of these findings during an interview with the surveyor, highlighting the need for a more thorough evaluation process to prevent potential safety risks associated with bed rail use.
Failure to Provide Required Transfer Notifications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely written notification to residents and their responsible parties regarding hospital transfers, as required by regulations. Specifically, for Resident 97, there was no documentation of written notification to the responsible party when the resident was transferred to the hospital on April 26, 2024, following a change in their condition. The notification should have included the reason for the transfer, the effective date, the new location, contact information for the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, and details about the resident's appeal rights. Similarly, Resident 105 was transferred to the hospital on two occasions, April 2 and April 27, 2024, without the required written notification to the resident or their responsible party. Additionally, Resident 56 was transferred to the hospital from April 9 to 11, 2024, without evidence of written notification to their responsible party. These deficiencies were confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing during interviews conducted by the surveyor.

A resident with dementia, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, residing on a locked unit with a wander guard, was able to leave the secured area by closely following a housekeeper through coded double doors and out a side door without being noticed. Staff did not check for residents before and after exiting the unit, and the resident left the premises, traveled into the community, and purchased food and a drink before being located by local police and returned without injury. The facility’s elopement policy required monitoring for missing residents and initiation of emergency procedures, but these measures were only implemented after the resident was discovered missing and an elopement alarm was activated.
Surveyors observed that dietary staff did not follow the facility’s personal hygiene policy requiring hair restraints, as two dietary employees worked over uncovered food on the tray line with uncovered mustaches. In the same food preparation area, equipment including a large mixer with an uncovered bowl, a Robot-coupe mixer, and a blender were stored and used beneath window frames with peeling paint, and a nearby window blind had dried food debris along its length. Another window frame above a storage rack of meal trays also had peeling paint, demonstrating unsanitary food storage and preparation conditions.
Surveyors determined that the facility failed to provide required written notices of transfers and discharges to multiple residents and/or their representatives, and did not notify the State LTC Ombudsman when residents were transferred to the hospital after changes in condition or left against medical advice. Record reviews showed repeated absence of documentation that residents or responsible parties received written information about the transfers, and that the Ombudsman was informed. The Administrator confirmed that these notifications were not sent.
The facility failed to address repeated grievances regarding slow responses to resident call bells. The grievance policy required acknowledgment and active resolution of both written and verbal complaints, yet multiple residents reported that call bells often went unanswered for more than 30 minutes. Resident council minutes over several consecutive months documented ongoing complaints about delayed call bell response, and grievance records showed multiple similar complaints over an extended period. The DON and the administrator acknowledged a pattern of complaints about slow call bell responses and confirmed that the facility had not responded to these grievances.
Surveyors found that the facility did not ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment on two nursing units, noting a shattered clear plastic fire extinguisher cover in a hallway between resident rooms, holes in bathroom walls, a dented and misshaped room entrance doorframe near the floor, a hole in the wall between resident beds, and dented, crumbling wallboard near a bathroom entrance. These conditions were cited under state regulations for licensee responsibility and management.
A deficiency was identified when a resident’s MDS assessment did not accurately reflect the resident’s need for corrective lenses. The resident had a history of diabetes mellitus and falls and was care planned for impaired vision with a requirement for glasses. Despite this, the MDS indicated that no corrective lenses were needed during the look-back period, while direct observation showed the resident wearing glasses, and the Administrator later confirmed the inaccuracy of the MDS documentation.
A resident with chronic kidney disease and DM was documented on the MDS as alert and frequently incontinent of urine, and the CAA indicated that urinary incontinence should be addressed in the care plan. Review of the resident’s current care plan showed no interventions related to urinary incontinence, and the DON confirmed there was no documented evidence that this identified care area was included in the plan.
A resident with chronic kidney disease, polyneuropathies, and muscle weakness, who had no cognitive impairment and required substantial staff assistance for showers and total assistance for transfers, was scheduled to receive showers twice weekly on the evening shift. Over a 30-day period, there was no documentation that showers were provided, offered, or refused, and the resident reported not having had a shower since admission. The DON confirmed the absence of documentation that shower care was offered or provided, resulting in a deficiency related to nursing services and ADL care.
Surveyors found that staff did not follow multiple physician orders for three residents. A resident with diabetes received ordered insulin even when blood glucose readings were below the ordered hold parameter. Another resident with cerebral palsy, DM, and heart failure had repeated significant overnight weight gains without evidence that the physician was notified as ordered. A third resident with anemia and CKD had ordered CBC and CMP lab tests that were not documented as completed. The DON confirmed there was no documentation that these physician orders were carried out.
Staff failed to follow facility policy and physician orders requiring documentation of non-pharmacological interventions (NPI’s) before administering PRN oxycodone for two residents. One resident with osteoarthritis, hip pain, and diabetes had orders for NPI documentation each shift and PRN oxycodone for moderate to severe pain, yet received the narcotic multiple times in a month without any recorded attempt of NPI’s beforehand. Another resident with a history of stroke, diabetes, hemiplegia, and hemiparesis also had orders to document NPI’s prior to PRN pain medication, but similarly received PRN oxycodone several times without documentation that NPI’s were tried first, resulting in noncompliance with state pharmacy and nursing service regulations.
Failure to Prevent Elopement From Secured Unit
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves a resident with unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety who was admitted to the facility in November 2025 and resided on a locked, secured unit requiring a code to exit. The facility had a written "Wandering and Elopements" policy that directed staff, when a resident was missing, to initiate the elopement/missing resident emergency procedure, determine if the resident was on an authorized leave, search the building and premises if not authorized to leave, and notify administration, the resident’s representative, the attending physician, and law enforcement if the resident was not located. On the date of the incident, the resident closely followed a housekeeper through double doors on the ground floor into a back hallway and then out a side door, leaving the secured unit without authorization. The housekeeper was unaware that the resident had followed through the door, and staff failed to ensure the resident’s safety by not checking for residents before and after exiting the unit. An elopement alarm was later activated after the resident was found to be unaccounted for on the secured unit, and the facility’s established protocols were then initiated, including notification of local law enforcement. The resident was subsequently located off premises by local police, sitting in a relaxed manner, conversing appropriately with officers, holding a beverage, and with no visible injuries, and he denied pain or discomfort. Facility documentation showed that the resident had been able to travel far enough to purchase food and a drink at a restaurant, as evidenced by a receipt from a nearby McDonald’s. A progress note recorded that the resident had been noted not on the unit, an immediate search was conducted, administration and proper authorities were notified, and the resident was returned safely, with a skin check completed and the resident later observed in his room eating dinner. In an interview, the resident stated that it was taking too long to get out of the building, that he waited for an opportunity and took it, and that he wanted to leave and go back to his place. In a separate interview, the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that staff failed to ensure the resident’s safety by not checking for residents before and after exiting the unit, leading to the elopement from the secured environment.
Unsanitary Food Storage and Staff Hygiene Practices in Dietary Department
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store and handle food in a sanitary manner in the dietary department in accordance with its own policy and professional standards. The facility’s “Personal Hygiene” policy dated February 2, 2026, required all staff to wear hair restraints to effectively keep hair from contacting exposed food. During observation of the lunch meal service tray line on April 15, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:03 p.m., two dietary employees were observed working directly over uncovered food on the tray line with uncovered mustaches. In the same area, the window frame above the shelf where a large mixer with an uncovered bowl, a Robot-coupe mixer, and a blender were stored had peeling paint, while the Robot-coupe mixer and blender were actively being used to prepare resident food. Additionally, the blind in this window frame had dried food debris along its length, and another window frame above a storage rack of resident meal trays also had peeling paint. These conditions were cited under 42 CFR 483.60(i) Food Safety Requirements and 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee, and had been previously cited on March 26, 2025. No specific residents, medical histories, or clinical conditions were described in the report; the deficiency focused on environmental and staff hygiene practices in the dietary department during food preparation and tray line service.
Failure to Provide Required Written Transfer Notices and Ombudsman Notification
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors found that the facility failed to provide required written notifications of transfers and discharges to residents and/or their representatives, and failed to notify the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman for six residents who were transferred out of the facility. Clinical record review showed that one resident was transferred to the hospital after a change in condition on December 26, 2025, without documented evidence that the resident or responsible party received written information regarding the transfer or that a copy of the transfer notice was sent to the Ombudsman. Another resident was transferred to the hospital after a change in condition on January 9, 2026, with no documented evidence that the Ombudsman was notified of the transfer. Additional record reviews revealed that three more residents were transferred to the hospital after changes in condition on March 30, 2026, and March 12, 2026, without documentation that the residents and/or their responsible parties or legal representatives were provided written information regarding the transfers, or that the Ombudsman was notified. One resident left the facility against medical advice on February 3, 2026, and there was no documented evidence that the Ombudsman was notified of this transfer. In an interview on April 17, 2026, the Administrator confirmed that notifications of transfers were not sent to the residents and/or their representatives and that written notices of the transfers and discharge were not sent to the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.
Failure to Address Repeated Grievances About Slow Call Bell Response
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to address ongoing grievances related to slow response times to resident call bells, as required by its grievance policy. The policy, last reviewed on February 24, 2026, stated that grievances could be either formal written complaints or verbal complaints to staff, and that the facility was to acknowledge and actively work toward resolution of such complaints. During a confidential resident group interview on April 14, 2026, all four participating residents reported that call bells were answered slowly, often taking more than 30 minutes. Review of resident council minutes from September 8, 2025, through December 11, 2025, showed repeated complaints about slow call bell responses at each monthly meeting, with no evidence that any resident council minutes were recorded in 2026. Additionally, review of resident grievances from October 31, 2025, through March 23, 2026, revealed multiple complaints about slow call bell responses on several dates in late 2025 and early 2026. In an interview on April 17, 2026, the DON and Nursing Home Administrator confirmed there was a pattern of complaints about slow call bell responses and that the facility had failed to respond to those grievances. These findings demonstrate that the facility did not honor residents’ rights to have grievances acknowledged and addressed, despite repeated verbal and written complaints documented through resident council minutes and the grievance process.
Damaged Walls, Doorframes, and Fire Extinguisher Cover Compromise Safe, Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment on two of five nursing units, specifically the [NAME] and [NAME] units. During observations conducted over two days, surveyors noted that the clear plastic fire extinguisher cover in the hallway between rooms 135 and 137 was shattered. In one resident bathroom, there were holes on the left and right walls, and the doorframe at the entrance to another resident room was dented and misshaped near the floor. Additionally, there was a hole in the wall between the beds in another resident room, and the wallboard at the bottom of the wall to the right of the entrance to a bathroom in yet another room was dented and crumbling. These environmental deficiencies were directly observed in resident care areas and common hallways and were cited under 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) regarding the responsibility of the licensee and 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(2.1) regarding management responsibilities.
Inaccurate MDS Documentation of Resident’s Need for Corrective Lenses
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected a resident’s current status. Clinical record review showed that Resident 139 had diagnoses including diabetes mellitus and a history of falls, and the resident required glasses to correct impaired vision. The resident’s care plan documented a problem with impaired vision and indicated that glasses were required beginning March 8, 2022. However, the MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented in Section B (Hearing, Speech, and Vision) that the resident did not require corrective lenses during the previous seven days. On observation on April 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., Resident 139 was noted to be wearing glasses. In an interview on April 17, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., the Administrator confirmed that the MDS assessment for this resident was inaccurate, as it did not reflect the resident’s actual need for and use of corrective lenses during the assessment look-back period.
Failure to Include Urinary Incontinence in Comprehensive Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan that addressed an identified care area for one resident. Clinical record review showed that this resident had chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus, and a Minimum Data Set completed on February 20, 2026, documented that the resident was alert and frequently incontinent of urine. The Care Area Assessment summary dated the same day specified that the resident’s urinary incontinence was to be addressed in the care plan. However, review of the current care plan revealed no evidence that interventions for urinary incontinence were included. In an interview on April 17, 2026, at 10:25 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no documented evidence that this identified care area was addressed in the resident’s care plan.
Failure to Provide Scheduled Showers and Document ADL Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide and document assistance with activities of daily living, specifically showering, for one resident who was dependent on staff for this care. The resident was admitted on March 12, 2026, with diagnoses including chronic kidney disease, polyneuropathies, and muscle weakness. A Minimum Data Set assessment dated March 19, 2026, showed the resident had no cognitive impairment, required substantial staff assistance for showers, and was totally dependent on staff for transfers. Facility documentation indicated the resident was scheduled to receive showers on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the evening shift. However, the resident reported on April 14, 2026, that they had not had a shower since admission, and review of the clinical record showed no evidence that a shower had been provided, offered, or refused during the previous 30 days. The DON confirmed on April 16, 2026, that there was no documented evidence that showers were offered or provided to this resident. This deficiency was cited under 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(5) related to nursing services.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders for Insulin, Weight Monitoring, and Lab Tests
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to implement and follow physicians’ orders for three residents. For one resident with diabetes mellitus, a physician ordered Novolog insulin to be administered in the morning prior to breakfast, with instructions to hold the insulin if the resident’s blood sugar was less than 80 mg/dL. Review of the April 2026 MAR showed that staff administered the insulin on three occasions when the resident’s blood sugar was below 80 mg/dL, contrary to the physician’s order. Another resident with cerebral palsy, diabetes mellitus, and heart failure had a physician’s order to be weighed every night shift and to notify the physician if the resident gained more than 2 lbs in 24 hours or 5 lbs in one week. Clinical records showed multiple instances of significant weight gains over 24-hour periods, including gains of 4.7 lbs, 3.4 lbs, 6 lbs, 2.3 lbs, 5.8 lbs, 4 lbs, 2.4 lbs, and 3.3 lbs, without documented evidence that the physician was notified as ordered. A third resident with anemia and chronic kidney disease had a physician’s order for two blood tests (CBC and CMP), but the clinical record contained no documentation that these lab tests were obtained. The DON confirmed there was no documented evidence that care and services were provided in accordance with these physicians’ orders.
Failure to Document Non-Pharmacological Interventions Before PRN Narcotic Administration
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to follow the facility’s pain management policy and specific physician orders requiring documentation of non-pharmacological interventions (NPI’s) and their effectiveness prior to administering as-needed narcotic pain medication for two residents. The policy, last reviewed February 24, 2026, required staff to document NPI’s and their effectiveness for patients receiving pain interventions. For a resident with left knee osteoarthritis, right hip pain, and diabetes, a physician ordered on March 17, 2026, that NPI’s be documented every shift, and on April 6, 2026, ordered oxycodone every four hours as needed for moderate to severe pain. Review of the MAR showed that this resident received as-needed oxycodone 23 times in April 2026 without documented evidence that NPI’s were attempted prior to administration. Another resident with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke), diabetes, hemiplegia, and hemiparesis had a physician order dated February 7, 2026, directing staff to document NPI’s used before administering as-needed pain medication, and an order dated April 3, 2026, for oxycodone every four hours as needed for moderate to severe pain. MAR review revealed this resident received as-needed oxycodone nine times in April 2026 without documented evidence that NPI’s were attempted prior to administration, in violation of 28 Pa. Code 211.9(a)(1) Pharmacy services and 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(5) Nursing services.
