Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Cedar Crest Post Acute during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with end stage kidney disease and emphysema was administered multiple medications, including antihypertensives (metoprolol, amlodipine), Ritalin, Eliquis, and Protonix, even though these drugs were not present on the resident’s physician orders. Review of the April medication orders confirmed that these medications had not been prescribed, and the DON acknowledged that the resident received medications without a physician order, resulting in a cited nursing services deficiency.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions and a risk for falls did not have access to a reacher, an assistive device specified in her care plan. The resident reported not having the reacher, and observation confirmed it was missing from her room. An LPN supervisor verified that the reacher was a current intervention but was not available to the resident.
Two residents with significant self-care deficits were not provided with accessible call bells or timely assistance with ADLs. One resident was left in bed in an improperly fastened gown, with uncombed hair and no evidence of hygiene care, and could not reach her call bell. Another resident was unable to locate her call bell and was observed calling out for help to use the bathroom. These lapses resulted in unmet needs and compromised dignity.
A facility failed to create a comprehensive care plan for a resident with urinary retention, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. The resident's care plan lacked interventions for urinary incontinence and cognitive decline, as identified in the assessment. The DON confirmed the absence of necessary documentation.
Unordered Medications Administered to a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that physician-prescribed medications were administered as ordered when a resident was given multiple medications that had not been ordered by the physician. The resident, identified as CR 1, had diagnoses including end stage kidney disease and emphysema. Facility documentation showed that on April 16, 2026, this resident was administered metoprolol and amlodipine for hypertension, Ritalin for attention deficit disorder, Eliquis to prevent blood clots, and Protonix to reduce stomach acid. Review of the resident’s physician orders for April 2026 revealed that none of these medications were ordered for this resident. In an interview on April 30, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident had been administered medications that were not prescribed by the physician, constituting a failure in nursing services as cited under 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(3)(5).
Failure to Provide Required Assistive Device per Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis, who required staff assistance for mobility and was able to communicate her needs, did not have access to a reacher as specified in her care plan. The care plan included an intervention for staff to ensure the reacher was within the resident's reach to address her risk for falls. During an interview, the resident reported not having her reacher for some time and expressed a desire to have it. Observation of the resident's room confirmed the reacher was not present, and a Licensed Practical Nurse Supervisor was unable to locate it. The supervisor acknowledged that the reacher was a current intervention for the resident, but it was not available for her use.
Failure to Accommodate Resident Needs and Maintain Dignity
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accommodate the needs and maintain the dignity of two residents by not ensuring their access to call bells and by not providing timely assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). One resident, who had a history of stroke with hemiplegia, aphasia, dysphagia, and depression, required maximum assistance with self-care, including dressing and toileting. Despite care plan interventions for staff to anticipate and meet her needs, observations revealed that she was left in bed wearing only a hospital gown that was not properly fastened, with her hair uncombed and no evidence of hygiene care. Her call bell was tangled and out of reach, and she was unaware of its location, preventing her from calling for assistance. When later observed dressed and groomed, she indicated improved well-being. Another resident, diagnosed with diabetes, fibromyalgia, and major depressive disorder, also had an ADL self-care deficit and was to be encouraged to use the call bell for assistance. However, she was observed calling out for help to use the bathroom, unable to locate her call bell, which was found draped over the nightstand and out of her reach. These findings demonstrate that the facility did not reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of these residents, nor did it maintain their dignity as required.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plan for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident, identified as Resident 194, to address their specific needs as determined by a comprehensive assessment. Resident 194 was admitted with diagnoses including urinary retention, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. The Minimum Data Set Care Area Assessment summary indicated that the resident's urinary incontinence and cognitive decline/dementia should be addressed in the care plan. However, a review of the clinical records revealed that there were no documented interventions for these issues in the current care plan. This deficiency was confirmed by the Director of Nursing during an interview, acknowledging the absence of necessary care plan documentation for the identified care areas.
