Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ball Pavilion, The during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not complete monthly pharmacy drug regimen reviews for five residents, as required by their contract and policy. The clinical records lacked evidence of reviews for three months, and the RNAC confirmed the absence of a Pharmacy Consultant during this period.
A facility failed to implement a side-to-side offloading program for a resident with a partial thickness MASD on the left buttock, as recommended by a wound care specialist. Despite orders for offloading, there was no evidence of a physician's order or documentation in the care plan, leading to the deterioration of the wound. The resident required varying levels of assistance for mobility, and the RN Assessment coordinator confirmed the need for the offloading program.
The facility failed to ensure accurate MDS assessments for three residents. One resident's MDS was incorrectly coded for a Stage Three ulcer, while documentation showed a partial thickness MASD wound. Another resident's MDS inaccurately recorded a Stage Four ulcer as not present on admission, despite evidence it was not acquired at the facility. A third resident's MDS showed a Stage Three ulcer, but records indicated a partial thickness MASD wound. The inaccuracies were confirmed by the RN Assessment Coordinator.
Failure to Conduct Monthly Pharmacy Drug Regimen Reviews
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that monthly pharmacy drug regimen reviews were completed for five residents, as required by their contract and policy. The Care Apothecary Consultant Pharmacy Retainer Agreement stipulated that monthly reviews of each resident's drug regimen would be conducted, with recommendations and assessments provided to the administrator. However, the clinical records for residents with various diagnoses, including Parkinson's Disease, dementia, and Alzheimer's, lacked evidence of these reviews for the months of October, November, and December 2024. During an interview, the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator confirmed that the pharmacy did not provide a Pharmacy Consultant to conduct the required monthly reviews during the specified months. This deficiency was identified through a review of the facility's contract, policy, clinical records, and staff interviews, indicating a failure to comply with the established guidelines for pharmacy services and management as per the relevant Pennsylvania Code sections.
Failure to Implement Wound Care Interventions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate care for a resident with a partial thickness moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) on the left buttock. The wound was initially assessed on 8/19/24 and showed improvement over time until 2/17/25, when it began to deteriorate. Despite the wound care specialist's orders for side-to-side offloading while in bed, there was no evidence of a physician's order for this intervention in the resident's clinical record. Additionally, the care plan for potential/actual impairment to skin integrity lacked documentation of the side-to-side offloading intervention, and there was no evidence that the resident received this care. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including stroke with left-sided weakness, Type 2 diabetes, dementia, and high blood pressure, required varying levels of assistance for mobility as documented in the Minimum Data Set (MDS). The Registered Nurse Assessment coordinator confirmed that the resident should have had an offloading program in place to prevent the worsening of the wound. The lack of implementation of the recommended offloading intervention contributed to the deterioration of the resident's wound, indicating a failure to adhere to professional standards of practice for pressure ulcer care.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments for Three Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments accurately reflected the status of three residents. Resident 35's MDS was incorrectly coded as having a Stage Three pressure ulcer, while documentation from a wound care specialist indicated the presence of a partial thickness moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) wound. Similarly, Resident 51's MDS inaccurately recorded a Stage Four pressure ulcer as not present on admission, despite specialist documentation confirming it was not acquired at the facility. Resident 52's MDS assessments were also inaccurately coded, showing a Stage Three pressure ulcer, whereas the wound care specialist's records described a partial thickness MASD wound that was initially improving but later deteriorated. The Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator confirmed the incorrect wound staging on the MDS for all three residents during an interview. These inaccuracies in the MDS assessments were identified as deficiencies in the facility's compliance with regulatory requirements.
