This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 1 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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on record review, observation and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the residents on the secured unit had a dignified dining experience. This affected eleven (Resident's #5, #7, #14, #27, #30, #36, #46, #47, #50, #51 and #53) eating in the dining room during the observations and had the potential to affect all 13 residents living on the unit. The facility census was 65. Findings include: Record review was conducted of the resident council minutes dated 06/23/21 and 07/21/21 and signed by the Administrator. A concern was noted on 06/23/21 residents would like to have their dining room trays come out with the person they sit with. It was noted to resolve the problem a seating chart was put in the kitchen to assist with loading up trays in an orderly fashion. On 07/21/21 minutes it was noted the residents stated their trays were coming out at a closer time with their lunch mates. 1. Observation was conducted on 09/27/21 from 8:15 A.M. to 8:53 A.M. of the breakfast meal service within the secured unit. The meal consisted of cereal, eggs, toast, juice, milk, and other beverage choices. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #72 began passing trays with a second STNA at 8:37 A.M. upon receiving the tray cart from the kitchen. Resident #5 and Resident #51 were seated at a table together. Resident #5 received her tray at 8:40 A.M. At 8:46 A.M. her tablemate Resident #51 said to her where is my food? How come you get yours and I don't? I am hungry. Can I have some of your bread? Resident #5 broke off a piece of her soft bread and handed it to Resident #51 who said, oh it tastes like peanut butter and quickly ate the bread. At 8:46 A.M. Resident #51 got her meal tray. During this observation period the STNAs proceeded to serve other tables in the same fashion where only one person would get served while the other resident at the table was without food. Resident #46 was seated with Resident #36. Resident #36 had her meal and Resident #46 could be seen sitting with a frowled face, throwing her hands in the air and saying, come on and she sat for several minutes watching Resident #36 eat her meal. Upon initial observation of Resident #46 entering the dining room for the meal she had presented as calm then developed the frowling facial expression as she watched her table mate and others get served their food before her. Interview was conducted on 09/27/21 at 8:54 A.M. with STNA #72 who verified the above findings. When asked what her procedure was for passing trays in the dining room, she replied she takes one tray out at a time and however the kitchen sends them out that is how she serves them. She verified there were two residents seated at most of the tables and she did not serve each person at a table before moving onto the next. 2. Observation was conducted on 09/29/21 at 12:20 P.M. of the lunch meal service within the secured (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some unit. The meal was cabbage rolls, mashed potato, vegetable blend, cake, and various beverages. Registered Nurse (RN) #83 was the nurse on the unit and identified all eleven residents seated in the dining room (Resident's #5, #7, #14, #27, #30, #36, #46, #47, #50, #51 and #53). Dietary Aide (DA) #41 was assisting in the dining room as the trays got delivered from the kitchen at 12:36 P.M. Resident #7 was seated with Resident #47. Resident #7 was the first tray served at 12:38 P.M. At 12:42 P.M. Resident #47 began banging his knuckles of both hands on the table and made slapping hand motions over his head as he watched Resident #7 eat and others around him eating their food. At 12:45 P.M. Resident #47 got his tray. During this observation period the staff proceeded to serve other tables before making sure both residents seated at a table had their food before moving onto the other tables. Interview was conducted on 09/29/21 at 12:50 P.M. with DA #41 who verified she was passing the trays as she pulled them out of the cart and not in order of the tables. When she was asked if she knew who sat at each table, she showed the surveyor each resident's tray card with a table number on the back. When asked why she did not serve one table at a time before moving onto the next she said she served them in the order the trays were placed into the cart.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on resident interview, staff interview, record review and policy review, the facility failed to ensure smoking breaks were provided for Residents #49 and #266. This affected two of three (Resident's #10, #49 and #266) resident's that smoked. The facility census is 65. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, major depressive disorder, and cirrhosis of liver. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #49 was cognitively intact and required assistance of two staff for transfers and one staff for other activities of daily living except for eating. 2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #266 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including muscle weakness, dysarthria, and anarthria. Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment revealed it was in progress.

Resident's #49 and #266 stated that they did not get any smoke breaks on Sunday (09/26/21) because of staffing. Resident #10 stated that she did get smoking breaks because she asked her State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) to take her out to smoke. Resident #10 stated the STNA took her out to smoke at 1:30 P.M. and 4:30 P.M., which were not at the designated smoking times but in the designated smoking area. Interview on 09/27/21 at 1:26 P.M. with Social Worker #25 revealed that activities take residents out to smoke but there are no activities person working today, so SW #25 and SW #71 were ensuring the residents got to smoke today, and they both stated they do not work weekends and there had not been an activities director for about a week.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, interviews and policy review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored, prepared, and served under sanitary conditions. This had the potential to affect all 65 residents who received food from the kitchen. The census was 65. Findings include: 1. Initial tour of the kitchen was conducted on 09/27/21 5:58 A.M. to 6:25 A.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #44. Above a stainless-steel food preparation table holding the uncovered meat slicer and food processor was a heavily soiled ceiling and side wall of the hood fire suppression unit. The ceiling and side wall had dried on splatters of food crumbs and staining. RD #44 said she believed while processing food some had blown up to the ceiling and had not been cleaned up yet. Next to the hand washing sink were two black plastic polymer dish carts having multiple dividers to separate and stack dishes inside the carts. Both were uncovered, full of dishes and thermal dome covers leaving the clean dishes and domes open for back splashing from the hand sink. The carts presented as unwashed for an extended period, as the bottom had a heavy buildup of whitish-yellow crusting in the crevices and various crumbs and unidentifiable crumb-like particles on the top of the carts and throughout the inside. Within the walk-in cooler were multiple packages of open cheeses either undated or outdated presenting as evidence the cheese was not being rotated and discarded to prevent potential food borne illness sources. An open bag of parmesan cheese within a Ziploc baggie was dated 07/28/21. An opened and partially used block of yellow American cheese was wrapped in Saran Wrap and was undated. An open mozzarella cheese was dated 08/30/21 and open provolone cheese was dated 08/22/21. RD #44 verified the findings and threw out the items saying they usually go through the cooler on Mondays and toss out any outdated food products. When asked if it was acceptable to have open cheese still in the cooler from 07/28/21, 08/22/21 and 08/30/21 she replied the kitchen went by manufacture use by dates if the packages were unopened but once open those items should have been thrown out. The facility provided the surveyor with an undated document titled Policy: Labeling and Discarding of Commercial Food Items. The document stated leftover food should be labeled with the date it was opened and first used and foods need to be discarded within seven days after the commercial product is opened but no longer than the expiration date listed on package. The document gave no instructions for highly perishable foods or time controls for safety for various refrigerated, prepared food items demonstrating a lack of policy guidance to ensure food safety. 2. Observation of the general kitchen environment was conducted on 09/29/2021 from 9:31 A.M. to 9:49 A.M. with Dietary Supervisor (DM) #82 and RD #44. The meat slicer remained uncovered, and the dish carts remained next to the hand sink and remained uncovered. The dish carts were still dirty with crumbs and staining on the bottom and throughout the crevices in the plastic. Gnat traps were observed on the floor behind the three-basin sink with evidence of heavy buildup of black, beige staining and crumbs where the baseboard meets the floor. The uncleanliness of the perimeter of the floor where the baseboards met the floor was noted to be pervasive throughout the kitchen especially behind the cooking ranges and stainless-steel pan tables holding cooking pans. There was a silver bait box approximately eight inches long and four inches wide for catching rodents behind a stainless-steel (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365115 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 7 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 365115 B.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm preparation table next to the cooking ranges. There was a similar size silver bait box for catching rodents in the dry stock room below a rack of dry breadcrumbs. A heavy collection of crumbs and accumulated buildup of black dirt surrounded the bait box presenting as a concerning opportunity to attract pests to the food supply. The entire perimeter of the dry stock room where the baseboards met the floor was heavily collected with crumbs and dirt build up showing evidence it had gone a long while without proper attention. Residents Affected - Many During this observation DM #82 and RD #44 verified the findings. Both said they had not seen any rodents, but gnats were an ongoing issue. DM #82 said she was in the process of hiring more staff for the kitchen and she expressed she did put out daily assignment sheets for cleaning but did not really keep cleaning lists. Record review was conducted of the facility document titled Rae-[NAME] Dietary Cleaning Log dated 09/05/2021 to 09/30/2021. The log had zones for cleaning listed with the assigned employee position responsible for those zones. It was void for any cleaning assignments specific to the kitchen floor and ceiling. Record review was conducted of the facility document titled State of Ohio Food Inspection Report dated 09/20/2021 and authored by Sanitarian #900. Sanitarian noted the kitchen was found out of compliance for a lack of clean and sanitary food contact surfaces and carts holding plates being stored next to the hand sink.
