Overview

Twin Pines Health Care Center has a Trust Grade of C, indicating it is average and in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #371 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half, and #17 out of 20 in Chester County, meaning only a few local options are better. The facility's performance is worsening, with issues increasing from 3 in 2024 to 8 in 2025. Staffing is considered a strength, with a 39% turnover rate, which is below the state average of 46%, but the facility has concerning RN coverage, being lower than 93% of Pennsylvania facilities. Specific incidents include a resident being transferred by one staff member instead of the required two, posing a fall risk, as well as multiple instances where residents' confidential medical information was left exposed on unattended computers. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing stability, the facility's increasing issues and privacy concerns are significant weaknesses families should consider.

Based on a comprehensive review of clinical records, observations, and interviews with residents and staff, it was determined that the facility failed to consistently implement and maintain infection control practices, thereby risking the potential spread of infection for one resident requiring contact precautions (a method to prevent the transmission of infectious agents spread by direct or indirect contact with the patient or the patient's environment) out of 32 residents sampled (Resident 90). Findings include: Review of the facility's policy Transmission-Based Precautions and Isolation Policy with a revision date of March 3, 2024, states that Contact precautions also apply where the presence of excessive wound drainage, urine, or fecal incontinence, or other discharges from the body suggest an increased potential for environmental contamination and risk of transmission. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended includes gloves and gowns. Review of the CONTACT PRECAUTIONS sign reveals instructions for all personnel to clean their hands before entering and leaving the room, and for providers and staff to don gloves and gowns before room entry and discard them before room exit. A review of Resident 90's clinical medical record revealed a progress note dated March 28, 2024 at 1:01 p.m. stating Resident 90's urinary analysis (UA) came back positive for Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase e-coli (ESBL, are enzymes produced by certain bacteria, including Escherichia coli that make bacteria resistant to certain antibiotic medicines) (Escherichia-coli, is a group of bacteria that can cause infections in one's gut, urinary tract and other parts of your body). During a tour of nursing unit East on April 2, 2024, at 10:31 a.m., it was observed that the PPE station, including gloves, gowns, and face shields, was available, but the contact precaution sign was placed face down on top of the container outside Resident 90's room. Additional observations conducted on nursing unit East on April 2, 2024, at 10:33 a.m. revealed three nursing staff performing incontinence care (helping an individual with any type of urinary or bowel leakage to maintain their health, and wellbeing) on Resident 90 with only gloves on. Observations conducted on April 3, 2024, at 9:36 a.m., witnessed a nursing staff exiting Resident 90's room holding soiled bed linens without wearing a gown. Additional observations of Resident 90's room on April 3, 2024, at 9:39 a.m. observed two nursing staff entering Resident 90's room without washing their hands or dawning PPE. At 9:35 a.m. licensed practical nurse (LPN) licensed employee (E4) exited Resident 90's room without washing her hands. Interview conducted with licensed employee E4 on April 3, 2024, at 9:35 a.m. revealed E4 was unaware resident 90 was on contact precautions or that Resident 90's UA returned positive for ESBL E-coli. Interview conducted with Infection Preventionist (IP) licensed employee (E3) on April 3, 2024, at 1:18 p.m. confirmed Resident 90 is on contact precaution and that all staff need adhere to the facility's transmission-based precautions and isolation policy.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review and interview it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from neglect by not providing the two person assistance needed during incontinence care which resulted in actual harm of a left foot fracture for one of two residents reviewed (Resident R2). This was identified as a past non compliance situation. Findings include: Review of Resident R2's clinical record revealed diagnoses including but not limited to the following: Abnormalities of Gait; Muscle Weakness; Obesity (excessive amount of body fat); and Osteoarthritis (common form of arthritis, affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness and reduced movement). Review of Resident R2's quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set - periodic assessment of resident needs) dated October 19, 2022 revealed in Section G (Functional Status) subsection A. Bed Mobility (how resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed or alternate sleep furniture) was rated 3/3; indicating resident needed extensive assistance of two or more staff/persons for physical assist. Review of Resident R2's [NAME] (document used to indicate how individual resident care should be performed) revealed under category of Mobility; Transfer with two assist and hoyer lift. Review of Resident R2's care plans revealed a goal of Risk for Self Care deficient r/t [related to] immobility. The care plan included intervention of Assist of 2 with ADL [Activities of Daily Living]. Staff assist of 2 for mobility, upper and lower body ADLs, toileting/incontinence care, bath/showers. Further review of Resident R2's care plans revealed a focus goal of Resident fall/at risk for falls characterized by impaired mobility, hx [history] of anxiety with moving around, obesity, and decline in health. Additional review of this focus goal revealed an intervention of re-educate and reinforce adherence to 2 person assist for bed mobility initiated December 13, 2022. Review of Resident R2's clinical record revealed an Incident Note dated December 13, 2022 (22:21 AKA 10:21 p.m.) which revealed, Called in by CNA [certified nurse assistant] to assess resident post fall. Upon arrival to room, resident observed on floor on [his/her] stomach, AAOx3, verbal, c/o feeling dizzy, unable to roll over to sides and c/o headache and B/L knee pain. Resident noted with a laceration to the leftside of head and also to the right Forearm. VS- 207/127, 91. Resident had a witnessed fall and did hit her head on the dresser at the time of fall. On call CRNP (Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner) called and made aware of clinical situation, new order received to transfer resident to the ER (Emergency Room) for further evaluation. 911 called, team arrived, and resident transferred at 10pm to [local] Emergency. Further review of Resident R2's clinical record revealed a Head to Toe Evaluation Progress note dated December 13, 2022 (23:31 aka 11:31 p.m.) indicating, Resident had a witnessed fall and did hit her head on the dresser at the time of fall. Upon arrival to room, resident observed on floor on her stomach, verbally responsive, c/o feeling dizzy, unable to roll over to sides and c/o [complaint/of] headache and B/L [bilateral] knee pain. Resident noted with a laceration to the left-side of head and also to the right Forearm. The same progress note further revealed, Evidence of pain noted pain to head Pain is throbbing Pain level is 7 out of 10. The pain is constant. Additional review of Resident R2's clinical record revealed a Nursing progress note dated December 14, 2022 at 06:54 (a.m.) which indicated, (RN) from [hospital emergency department] called back to report that resident does have a left foot fracture and got a splint and need to follow up with orthopedics. Review of X-ray results dated December 14, 2022 (00:52:19 a.m.) revealed under category of Impressions a subcategory of history indicating fell out of bed. Further review under subcategory Findings revealed Acute nondisplaced intra-articular fracture proximal end first metatarsal. Review of facility documents of fall investigation including Witness Statement, Incident/Accident or Injury of Unknown Origin by non licensed Employee E3 revealed telephone interview statement of I was doing my last rounds. I had cleaned [resident] all up, I had her all cleaned up, I was on the other side of the bed and I was getting ready to roll her back, it seems like she was moving too fast, she had started rocking and I started to head towards the other side of the bed and when I rounded toward the foot of the bed she fell. Further review of witness statement revealed after asked question, are you aware that [he/she's] a two person with bed mobility? Employee E3 responded, I have always had two people in there with me and yes, I am aware that [he/she]'s a two person. Additional review of witness statement/telephone interview document revealed Employee E3 was questioned of When you went in the room to check on [him/her] who did you ask to come in with you? with Employee E3 responding, I didn't ask anybody. Interview on February 24, 2023 at approximately 8:00 p.m. with Interim Director of Nursing, confirmed the resident was a two person assist needed for bed mobility and nurse aide provided incontinence care alone instead of using second aide. The facility failed to ensure the incontinence care for Resident R2 was conducted with two staff members which resulted in neglect and actual harm of a fracture to the left foot. The facility submitted a corrective action plan that included a full house sweep to determine any other residents affected by deficient practice including interviews with residents and observations of staff's incontinence care.
