This affected four of six residents reviewed for personal funds. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The review of resident funds was conducted with Business Office Manager (BOM) #420 on 10/16/19 at 2:45 P.M. who verified the total in four resident account exceeded the Medicaid resource limit. Resident #20 had $16,570.49, Resident #41 had $10,460.21, Resident #54 had $2356.65, and Resident #49 had $3086.00 in their accounts. Interview with BOM #420 on 10/16/19 at 3:25 P.M. confirmed the facility had no evidence the residents/representatives were notified when their accounts reached $200.00 less than the Medicaid resource limit. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. Based on interview, record review and policy review, the facility failed to have consistent documentation related to Resident's #47 and #54's wishes related to life-sustaining treatments. This affected two of 24 records during the screening process. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #47 was on Hospice services. The medical record had a clear sleeve under the advanced directives tab that had a white sheet of paper indicating DNRCC (do not resuscitate comfort care) and the other side of the clear sleeve was a green sheet indicating DNRCCA (do not resuscitate comfort care arrest). The electronic medical record had DNRCCA in the current physician orders. Review of the Hospice binder contained a DNRCCA form. 2. Review of Resident #54's medical record contained a form under the advanced directives sleeve indicated DNRCCA; however, the electronic medical record current physician orders indicated the resident desired to be Full Code status. Interview with the corporate nurse on 10/17/19 at 9:22 A.M. indicated the nurse should look in the hard chart under advanced directives for the code status. He reviewed Resident #47's progress notes and reported the most recent documentation about code status was in September 2019 after a hospitalization where he had requested to have Full Code status. He verified the advance directive tab in the chart should have been updated to Full Code. Review of the resident's rights policy regarding treatment and advanced directives, dated 01/01/19, upon admission advanced directives would be placed in the chart as well as communicated to staff. The facility would periodically assess for decision making ability and advanced directives would be reviewed during the care planning process.

F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on staff interview, review of personnel files and the abuse policy and procedure, the facility failed to implement policies and procedures including screening of all employees against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry to identify if an employee had a finding concerning abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents or misappropriation of resident property and failed to obtain reference checks. This affected four (Housekeeping Staff #60, #62 and #63 and Dietary Aide #61) of personnel files reviewed. This had the potential to affect all 58 residents in the facility resulting in substandard quality care. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: Review of 12 personnel files revealed four staff were not checked against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry. Review of three Housekeeping Staff (#60, #62 and #63) and Dietary Aide #61 lacked evidence they were screened against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry for negative findings. State Tested Nurse Aides (STNA) #64, #65 and #66, Registered Nurses (RN) #67 and #71 and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) #68, #69 and #70 had evidence they were screened on the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry and were in good standing. The identification of findings would be necessary to determine if any employee had actions identified that would validate allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents, or misappropriation of their property. The facility provided a document that they hired 52 staff since the last annual survey dated 09/20/19. Twelve of the new hires were not nurses, aides, therapy or activity staff and had no evidence they were screened against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry. Interview with the Business Office Manager (BOM) #420 on 10/16/19 at 8:50 A.M. indicated only the nurses and aides had been checked. Interview with the Administrator on 10/16/19 at 9:10 A.M. said the Ohio Department of Health Abuse Investigator came out and told him he had to check all staff against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry. Interview with the Corporate Nurse on 10/16/19 at 10:26 A.M. provided evidence the facility screened all activity, housekeeping, laundry and dietary staff today against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry. Interview with BOM #420 on 10/16/19 at 10:41 A.M. verified activity, housekeeping, dietary and laundry staff had not been screened against the State of Ohio Nurse Aide Registry until this morning. Review of the Ohio Resident Abuse Policy dated 03/03/17 identified screening to include not employing individuals who had a finding of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation, involuntary seclusion and/or misappropriation of property reported into a state nurse aide registry.
