Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, review of the facility's contract with therapy services, resident interview, and staff
interview, the facility failed to administer the facility in a manner to maintain therapy equipment in proper
working order. This affected one resident (#51) and had the potential to affect all 91 residents in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #51 revealed an admission date of 06/26/24 with diagnoses
including encounter for other orthopedic aftercare, person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle, colostomy
status and anxiety disorder.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 10/03/24, revealed Resident #51 had
moderate cognitive impairment, was dependent on staff for bed/chair to chair transfers, and required
partial/mod assist for bed mobility.
On 01/22/25 at 7:48 A.M., an interview with Resident #51 stated the therapy gym did not have the
equipment they needed and he was told by staff to just hold onto the sink and pivot while attempting to
stand.
On 01/22/25 at 8:33 A.M., an observation of the facility's therapy gym revealed there was an ultrasound and
tens unit (electrotherapy device) on a shelf and there was a set of balance bars (parallel bars used to help
people stay balanced while standing or walking) in the corner surrounded by walkers, rollators, canes, and
other equipment, making the balance bars inaccessible to residents.
On 01/22/25 at 8:36 A.M., an interview with Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) #814 stated
the facility did not have much therapy equipment and the ultrasound and tens unit were used for pain
management but they had been unable to use them because the facility refused to pay for routine
maintenance and calibration. COTA #814 also stated the balance bars could not be used because they
were not secured to anything and unsafe in their current state. COTA #814 revealed they had to be super
creative when providing therapy because they did not have the equipment they need.
On 01/22/25 at 8:49 A.M., an interview with Rehabilitation Director #815 confirmed the ultrasound and tens
unit had not been used since at least July 2024 because they needed serviced. She stated the therapy staff
were contracted and the facility was responsible for maintaining therapy equipment. Rehabilitation Director
#815 also confirmed therapy staff were unable to use the balance bars in the therapy gym because they
were not secure and verified Resident #51 had to use a sink to support himself while standing up.
Rehabilitation Director #815 revealed therapy gave the faciliy a list of

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 01/22/25 at 9:56 A.M., an interview with the Administrator verified the ultrasound and tens unit was due
for maintenance in August 2024 and maintenance had not yet been completed. Administrator revealed they
haven't had anyone with orders for the ultrasound and Tens unit since August 2024, indicating there was
not hurry to get it serviced.
Residents Affected - Many
On 01/22/25 at 10:35 A.M., an interview with Occupational Therapist (OT) #816 stated they did need to use
the ultrasound and tens unit for some residents (she was unable to specify who those residents were).
On 01/23/25 at approximately 1:45 P.M., during the exit conference, the Administrator was adamant that
although the therapy equipment was in the therapy gym at the facility, the facility was not required to keep
the equipment in proper working order because it was not being used. The Administrator insisted the
equipment was not used and did not need to be maintained, despite therapy staff stating they would use
this equipment if it were in proper working order.
Review of the facility's contract with therapy services, dated 07/01/24, revealed it was the facility's
responsibility to provide, at its sole expense, all supplies and equipment necessary to provide services and
the facility would keep such equipment in good order and repair.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00161622 and
OH00160645.
