This survey cited 6 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #92's call light was within reach. This affected one of 36 sampled residents. The facility census was 222. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the record revealed Resident #92 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, anxiety disorder, and depressive disorder. The care plan for falls dated 03/09/17 indicated the resident had interventions including non-skid socks when up out of bed, restorative referral, lay resident down after meals, and be sure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage her to use it for assistance. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #92 had severe cognitive deficits with short and long-term memory impairments. The resident had no behaviors, no refusal of care, and required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfers, toilet use, and locomotion on the unit. On 03/02/20 at 11:00 A.M., an observation revealed Resident #92 was lying in bed. She had the bed control to raise and lower her bed in her hand. The call light cord and call button were on the floor next to her bed. On 03/02/20 at 2:35 P.M., Resident #92 was lying in bed. The call light cord and call button were on the floor next to her bed. On 03/02/20 at 3:22 P.M., Resident #92 was in her room. She was calling out, Mama, mama. An observation revealed the resident was lying in bed with the call light cord and call button on the floor next to her bed. The surveyor informed the state tested nursing assistant the resident needed assistance. On 03/03/20 at 9:19 A.M., an observation revealed Resident #92 was seated in a recliner in her room. Her call light cord and call button were across the room attached to the grab bar about six feet away from the resident. On 03/03/20 at 10:03 A.M., Resident #92 remained seated in the recliner.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure interventions were in place for Resident #219's pressure ulcers as ordered. This affected one of seven residents reviewed for pressure ulcers (Residents #35, #41, #78, #170, #190, #200, and #219). The facility identified 16 residents as having pressure ulcers. Residents Affected - Few Finding include: Review of the record revealed Resident #219 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, chronic peripheral venous insufficiency, and rheumatoid arthritis. The quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated she had severe cognitive deficits and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, and walking. Review of the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk dated 10/03/19 indicated she was at high risk for the development of pressure sores. Review of a progress note dated 11/15/19 indicated the nurse observed Resident #219 to have purplish-black colored area to both heels. The resident reported the areas were slightly painful. On 11/15/19, the nurse practitioner ordered a wound consult, a treatment order to pad and protect bilateral heels daily, and Prevalon boots every shift while in bed. (Prevalon boots help to minimize pressure to the heel area.) Review of the wound care consultant's assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #219's heels were suspected deep tissue injuries. The left heel was 100% fibrotic tissue with yellow slough, moist, and with scant clear drainage. The area measured 1.4 centimeters (cm) long by 1.7 cm wide by 0.2 cm deep. The right heel was black (necrotic tissue) hard, and without drainage. The area measured 3.0 cm long by 4.8 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep. During an observation on 03/04/20 at 7:20 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #36 changed Resident #219's dressings to both heels. Upon entering the room, Resident #219 was in bed and not wearing the Prevalon boots to bilateral feet. LPN #36 described the left heel as having yellowish-white slough covering 50% of wound bed. She described the right heel as being covered by black, soft eschar (nonviable tissue). LPN #36 completed the dressing changes at 7:49 A.M. She did not apply the Prevalon boots to Resident #219's feet before leaving the room. During an interview on 03/04/20 at 7:50 A.M., LPN #36 indicated the state tested nursing assistant removed the Prevalon boots when she provided care to Resident #219 this morning. On 03/04/20 at 7:55 A.M., an observation accompanied by Nurse Manager #203 revealed the Prevalon boots were on the floor next to the recliner in Resident #219's room. The resident was lying in bed. The nurse manager confirmed the observation. On 03/04/20 at 10:22 A.M., an observation accompanied by Nurse Manager #203 indicated the Prevalon boots remained on the floor next to the recliner in Resident #219's room. The resident was still lying in bed. Nurse Manager #203 confirmed the observation. She then apologized saying she had been busy and had not had time to put the Prevalon boots on Resident #219.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of staffing for 02/24/20 indicated there were three State Tested Nurse Aides (STNAs) assigned to provide care for 40 residents on [NAME] II. One STNA was assigned to the secured dementia unit where Resident #46 resided. The one STNA was assigned to 14 residents. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #35 on 03/02/20 at 10:00 A.M. revealed Resident #46 recently fell in the dining room during breakfast and sustained a bruise. Interview with LPN #65 on 03/02/10 at 10:00 A.M. reported two aides were necessary on the secured dementia unit. She indicated the residents on the secured unit were very busy and required constant supervision. LPN #65 reported last Monday (02/24/20) there was only one aide on the secured dementia unit and that was when Resident #46 fell. Interview with STNA #115 on 03/02/20 at 10:30 A.M. revealed there were usually two aides on the secured unit but last Monday (02/24/20) there were only three STNAs for the entire floor, and that was when Resident #46 fell.

Review of the nurses note dated 06/05/19 at 3:59 P.M. indicated the STNA noted Resident #84 had a bruise on her left fourth finger. The area was bluish purple from the tip of her finger to the second joint and at the knuckle. The resident was banging on the left transfer bar with her left hand prior to the bruise. The transfer bar was recovered with foam and tape. The transfer bar had been padded with foam prior to discovery of the bruising but the resident took it off and threw it on the floor. Review of the investigation dated 06/05/19 revealed a pain evaluation indicating Resident #84's left back hand and left fourth finger was bruised from the tip of the finger to the second joint and also near the knuckle. Review of the X-ray of the left fingers revealed there was a fracture involving the fourth proximal phalanx without displacement. There was associated soft tissue swelling and significant osteoporosis evident. There was no evidence of a new intervention to prevent further injury due to the resident banging her hand on the transfer bar. Resident #84 was observed on 03/02/20 at 10:00 A.M. lying in a low bed with a mat next to the bed. The resident was hitting her left hand against the transfer bar which was not padded.

F 0725 Interviews from 03/02/10 through 03/05/20 at various times with Residents #31, #46, #47, #60, #71, #125, and #188 revealed concerns related to insufficient facility staffing. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 03/04/20 at 5:43 A.M. interview with STNA #106 revealed sometimes she was the only one working on the dementia unit. When that happened the resident showers were not done. When she worked by herself on the secured dementia unit she kept doors open when providing resident care so she could hear the other residents. When working alone she had to leave the unit to get assistance. She said she also carried a personal whistle to blow if things got too bad for her to handle. Interview on 03/04/20 at 9:05 A.M. with Scheduler #500 revealed the facility staffed based on census. For [NAME] II, which included the secured dementia unit, there were always two STNAs assigned to the secured dementia unit on the day shift and afternoon shift with two nurses who were also assigned to additional residents on the adjacent unit. On the third shift there were four STNAs and one nurse scheduled. However, how they assigned staff, and decided who would work on the secured dementia unit, was up to the nurse on the unit. The nurse assigned to the dementia unit on third shift was also assigned to residents on the adjacent unit. On 03/04/20 at 11:08 A.M. agency STNA #600 was observed on the secure dementia unit. She was asked about the care needs of the residents. She simply said she was agency and was not sure. On 03/04/20 at 3:30 P.M. STNA #167 reported occasionally she was the only STNA assigned to the secured dementia unit. She reported the residents on the dementia unit frequently needed redirection when they attempted to stand unassisted. She acknowledged an STNA outside of the unit had two to three residents in the secured dementia unit in addition to her assigned residents off the unit. However, that STNA was not usually on the dementia unit very much. On 03/05/20 at 2:00 P.M. the Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing were informed about concerns with not enough staff to properly supervise and provide care to the residents who resided on the secured dementia unit. They verified they had been supplementing their staff with agency staff to attempt meet the residents' needs. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH00110459.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and interview the facility failed to ensure food was served in a sanitary manner. This affected three residents (#39, #49, and #276) in the small dining room on the 100 unit and had the potential to affect 52 residents (Residents #1, #39, #40, #49, #50, #80, #81, #82, #114, #135, #136, #144, #145, #151, #164, #166, #178, #180, #182, #185, #190, #194,#195, #212, #214, #215, #216, #220, #274, #275, #276, #277, #278, #279, #280, #281, #282, #283, #284, #285, #286, #287, #288, #289, #290, #291, #292, #293, #294, #296, #297, and #298) currently residing on the first floor. The facility census was 244. Findings include: 1. Observation on 03/02/20 at 12:35 P.M. of the noon meal in the small dining room on the 100 unit revealed the tray line server, Dietary Aide (DA) #250, dropped an empty package from a sanitizer wipe he'd used to clean the thermometer onto the floor. With his gloved hands, he picked it up and put it the trash can. His hand made contact with the swinging trash lid. DA #250 then went back to the steam table and grabbed a dessert bowl. He was instructed by the surveyor to cease serving and wash his hands and re-glove. Three residents (#39, #49, and #276) were currently in the dining room for the lunch meal. DA #250 verified he had picked up the packaging off the floor and placed it in the trash without changing gloves and washing his hands. He verified he would have served the three residents wearing contaminated gloves. 2. Observation in the resident servery on the first floor on 03/02/20 at 1:09 P.M. revealed State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #401 dropped the cap from a two liter ginger ale bottle onto the floor. STNA #401 picked it up and placed it back on the bottle, then placed the bottle of ginger ale in the reach in cooler in the servery. STNA #110 who was present at the time, verified the observation and identified STNA #401 as agency staff. STNA #110 then educated STNA #401 that if he dropped anything on the floor again, he was to just throw it away. STNA #110 verified all the residents on the first floor received foods and beverages from the servery. The facility identified 54 residents currently residing on the first floor, who could potentially be affected by lack of proper handling and storage of foods and beverages by staff.
