6400.101On 4/30/2025 at 10:42AM, there was a turn lock with a keyed locking mechanism on the garage side of the door between the basement and the attached garage; obstructing egress from the garage when engaged. There is no swing door in the garage.Stairways, halls, doorways, passageways and exits from rooms and from the building shall be unobstructed. Providers Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: On April 30, 2025, at 10:42 AM, the Licensing Representative observed that the door between the basement and the attached garage had a turn lock with a keyed locking mechanism on the garage side. This configuration obstructed egress from the garage when the lock was engaged, in violation of § 6400.101. There is no swing door in the garage, and the keyed lock could have delayed or prevented emergency exit. Corrective Action Taken: On 5/1/2025 The keyed locking mechanism was immediately removed, and a non-locking knob was installed to allow for unrestricted egress at all times. The Facility Compliance Manager verified the modification and confirmed the door now meets regulatory standards for emergency exit access. 05/01/2025 Implemented

Written documentation of the inspection and cleaning shall be kept. Provider¿s Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: The furnace was last inspected and cleaned on February 1, 2024, and then again on February 18, 2025, exceeding the required 12-month interval. The delay occurred because the agency¿s consistent licensed HVAC contractor was terminated on January 29, 2025, due to an unrelated performance issue. As this occurred during peak heating season, securing a new HVAC provider caused scheduling delays. Corrective Action Taken: A new licensed HVAC provider was secured. The furnace was inspected and cleaned on February 18, 2025. Documentation of the inspection is on file, and the system is operating safely. 05/02/2025 Implemented

The requirement for homes with three or more stories does not apply to homes licensed in accordance with this chapter prior to November 8, 1991. Providers Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: On April 30, 2025, at 10:45 AM, the Licensing Representative reported that the smoke detectors on each floor of a three-story home were not interconnected, in violation of § 6400.110(e). However, the smoke detectors at this location had been tested weekly and were functional prior to the inspection. It is believed that during the inspection, the test button on one or more detectors was held down long enough to initiate a reset, which temporarily disabled the interconnected function. After inspection, the detectors were immediately re-tested, and all alarms were confirmed to be fully interconnected and operational. Corrective Action Taken: The Facility Compliance Manager re-tested the alarm system and confirmed full interconnectivity between all floors. FLS were trained on proper smoke detector testing procedures to avoid accidental resets. 05/02/2025 Implemented

First Aid training was completed in two parts: First Aid #1 July 18, 2024 First Aid #2 July 24, 2024 This means the employee began providing direct support before completing required First Aid training, which is a violation of § 6400.46(c). The oversight occurred due to a failure in verifying certification status during onboarding. Corrective Action Taken: A revised onboarding checklist is now used to confirm that First Aid and CPR training are completed and documented prior to any direct care assignments. The checklist must be signed by both the Program Specialist and the HR Coordinator before a new hire may be placed on the schedule. The HR Coordinator was retrained on May 21, 2025, to ensure this process is consistently followed. 05/21/2025 Implemented
6400.50(a)Direct Service Worker #2's, date of hire 6/27/2024, record of orientation did not include the training source and content.

This was due to an administrative oversight during the onboarding process. Corrective Action Taken: A new onboarding checklist has been implemented to require documentation of both the training source and content for all new hires. The Human Resources Coordinator was trained on the updated checklist on May 21, 2025. Printed Relias certifications are now required to be placed in all new hire files. A copy of the Relias source content is maintained on-site for compliance review. 05/21/2025 Implemented

However, the Relias transcript confirms that: Community Integration was completed on 6/27/2024 Person-Centered Practices was completed on 7/25/2024 Community Integration was completed again on 12/29/2024 It appears a second page of the transcript may not have been reviewed during inspection, which led to the citation. Corrective Action Taken: The full Relias transcript, including all pages, has been printed and filed in the employee¿s personnel record. The onboarding checklist has been updated to include a verification step for multi-page training transcripts. All recent hire files are currently being audited for full transcript inclusion and topic compliance. 06/13/2025 Implemented
6400.51(b)(2)Direct Service Worker #2's, date of hire 6/27/2024, was trained in prevention, detection and reporting of abuse, suspected abuse and alleged abuse on 12/29/2024.The orientation must encompass the following areas: The prevention, detection and reporting of abuse, suspected abuse and alleged abuse in accordance with the Older Adults Protective Services Act (35 P.S. §§10225.101-10225.5102). The child protective services law (23 PA. C.S. §§6301-6386) the Adult Protective Services Act (35 P.S.§§ 10210.101-10210.704) and applicable protective services regulations.Providers Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: Direct Service Worker #2 (DOH: 6/27/2024) was cited for not having timely documentation of training on the prevention, detection, and reporting of abuse. A review of the Relias transcript confirms the employee completed Preventing, Identifying, and Responding to Abuse and Neglect on July 25, 2024, which satisfies the regulatory requirement. The citation may have been based on the second, duplicate completion dated December 29, 2024, and/or the reviewer not seeing the full transcript. Corrective Action Taken: The July 25, 2024 training date has been verified and printed from Relias and placed in the employees file. The training title, source, and completion date are now clearly documented on the new training compliance checklist. 06/13/2025 Implemented
6400.51(b)(3)Direct Service Worker #2's, date of hire 6/27/2024, was trained in individual rights on 12/29/2024.The orientation must encompass the following areas: Individual rights.Providers Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: Direct Service Worker #2 (DOH: 6/27/2024) was cited for not completing orientation on individual rights within the required 30-day period. However, upon review of the Relias training transcript, it was confirmed that the employee completed the course titled Individual Rights on July 25, 2024 which falls within the 30-day requirement. The citation appears to have been based on a second, duplicate completion listed as 12/29/2024, or incomplete review of the transcript during inspection. Corrective Action Taken: The correct training date of July 25, 2024 has been verified and a printed copy of the Relias transcript was added to the employees personnel file. The onboarding documentation for the employee has been updated to clearly reflect the correct completion date and training title. 06/13/2025 Implemented

Upon reviewing the employees Relias transcript, it was confirmed that: "Incident Investigations in IDD" was completed on July 18, 2024 "Writing Incident Reports" was completed on July 25, 2024 Both courses were completed within 30 days of hire and fulfill the intent of § 6400.51(b)(4). The incorrect date of October 30, 2024 was likely based on an additional or duplicate course, and the earlier, compliant completions may not have been reviewed during the inspection. Corrective Action Taken: The Relias transcript with July training dates has been printed and placed in the employees file. The onboarding documentation was updated to reflect the accurate course titles and completion dates for incident-related training. 06/13/2025 Implemented

This was due to a breakdown in the onboarding process where individual-specific ISP training was not provided or verified prior to the employee working directly with individuals. Corrective Action Taken: The Program Specialist has since trained the staff on the required individual ISPs, and the documentation has been signed and filed in the employees personnel record. The onboarding checklist has been updated to include a required section for ISP training, including signature of both staff and Program Specialist. 06/13/2025 Implemented
6400.166(a)(4)Individual #1's April 2025 Medication Administration Record did not include the name of Retin-A Cream, Differin Gel and Clindamycin.A medication record shall be kept, including the following for each individual for whom a prescription medication is administered: Name of medication.Providers Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: During the review of Individual #1s April 2025 MAR, it was cited that the names Retin-A Cream, Clindamycin, and Differin Gel were not listed. However, internal review confirms that Differin Gel was correctly listed on the MAR. The medications Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025, but the discontinuation was not clearly documented in the file submitted or reflected in the backup documentation. This led to confusion during the inspection and contributed to the citation. Corrective Action Taken: Differin Gel was verified to be accurately documented on the April MAR. Retin-A and Clindamycin were confirmed discontinued as of 1/29/2025, and all physical medications were removed from the home. All staff were retrained on the policy to immediately discard discontinued medications and document the discontinuation on the MAR.

Upon review, it was confirmed that Retin-A and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025 and should not have been included in the April MAR. Their omission from the April record was appropriate due to discontinuation. Differin Gel remained active and was listed on the MAR with the appropriate strength, but the discontinued medications' prior absence of strength details was noted as a documentation issue prior to their removal. Corrective Action Taken: Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025, and were not administered or documented on the April MAR. All staff were retrained on ensuring that all active medications listed on the MAR include the full name, strength, and dosage prior to administration. 05/30/2025 Implemented

Upon review: Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025 and were not included on the April MAR. Differin Gel was properly documented on the April MAR, with dosage form clearly listed as: DIFFERIN 0.1% GEL - Other, Topical, Scheduled (Treatment) The citation appears to have resulted from a misunderstanding or oversight in review of the Differin entry. Corrective Action Taken: No corrections were needed for Differin, as the dosage form was properly listed. Staff were retrained on the importance of ensuring that dosage forms are clearly entered for all medications, even if they are topical or non-oral. All homes were checked to ensure no discontinued medications (like Retin-A and Clindamycin) were present, and all discontinued meds were properly removed and documented. 06/13/2025 Implemented

Upon internal review: Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025, and were no longer active or included in the April MAR. Differin Gel was properly listed on the April MAR with instructions to Apply topically to face at bedtime for acne and the dosage strength was listed as 0.1% Gel, but the specific amount (dose) applied was not clearly defined (e.g., pea-sized amount or 1 application¿).

The MAR entry for Differin Gel has been updated to include a clearly defined dose (e.g., Apply pea-sized amount topically to face). Discontinued medications (Retin-A and Clindamycin) were verified as removed and documented in the discontinuation log. 06/13/2025 Implemented

Upon internal review: Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025, and were not listed on the April MAR. Differin Gel was listed on the April MAR in Therap, and the route of administration (Topical) was properly recorded.

Staff were retrained to ensure that all medication entries in Therap include clearly defined routes of administration, even for discontinued medications prior to removal.

Internal review confirmed the following: Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025 and were no longer active as of April 2025. Differin Gel was properly documented in Therap, including a scheduled frequency of 1x daily at 8:00 PM as per the MAR entry. The citation appears to be based on a misinterpretation or incomplete review of the Therap MAR where frequency was correctly entered for Differin but not visible on printed summary. Corrective Action Taken: The April 2025 MAR from Therap was reviewed and confirmed to reflect accurate frequency for Differin Gel. Staff were retrained to ensure frequency is clearly documented in the MAR system for all medications, including those applied topically. A full medication audit was conducted to verify there are no active medications across homes lacking frequency details. 06/13/2025 Implemented
6400.166(a)(10)Individual #1's April 2025 Medication Administration Record did not include the administration times of Retin-A Cream, Differin Gel and Clindamycin.A medication record shall be kept, including the following for each individual for whom a prescription medication is administered: Administration times.Providers Plan of Correction What Happened / Why It Happened: During the review of Individual #1s April 2025 MAR, it was cited that the time of administration for Retin-A Cream, Differin Gel, and Clindamycin was not included. Internal review found that: Retin-A Cream and Clindamycin were discontinued on 1/29/2025 and therefore were not listed on the April MAR. Differin Gel was listed on the April 2025 MAR in Therap, and the administration time was accurately documented as 8:00 PM, with a frequency of 1x daily. This indicates the medication administration time was properly entered in Therap, and the citation may have been due to a misinterpretation of the MAR printout or format. Corrective Action Taken: The April MAR for Individual #1 was reviewed and confirmed to reflect correct administration time for Differin Gel. The Program Manager reviewed all active MARs to ensure that administration times are entered and visible in both Therap and print formats. Staff were retrained on ensuring time of administration is clearly documented and consistent across all systems. 06/13/2025 Implemented

Differin Gel was documented on the April 2025 MAR in Therap, and the purpose was listed as Acne, which meets regulatory requirements. The citation appears to have resulted from an oversight during the MAR review process or incomplete visibility of Therap documentation during the licensing inspection. Corrective Action Taken: The MAR entry for Differin Gel was verified to include the diagnosis Acne as the purpose of use. Staff were retrained to ensure all medications entered in Therap have an associated diagnosis or purpose field completed. A review of all active MARs across homes was conducted to verify consistency and accuracy of diagnosis entries. 06/13/2025 Implemented
