Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure all residents were treated with respect and
dignity. This affected one (#77) out of three residents reviewed for respect and dignity. The facility census
was 69.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #77 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
discharged on 01/12/24. Diagnoses included dependence on respirator, congenital malformation of brain,
acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, other seizures, fusion of spine, arthropathy, acute
infarction of spinal cord, disorder of central nervous system, scoliosis, vitamin d deficiency, anxiety disorder,
chronic pain syndrome, and cortical blindness.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 12/11/23, revealed Resident #77
was in a persistent vegetative state and was unable to be assessed for cognitive status. Resident #77 was
dependent on staff for oral hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, bed mobility, and
transfer. Resident #77 also required the use of a feeding tube.
Review of the facility investigation revealed a camera in the room of Resident #77 had recorded State
Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #800 sitting in the room on her phone with a hand in her pants.
Interview on 02/07/24 at 2:02 P.M. via phone with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #800 revealed
she was sent into Resident #77's room by the nurse to observe his breathing treatment. STNA #800
confirmed she was on her phone while in the room, and that she was scratching herself because she had
shaved recently and had an itch.
Interview on 02/07/24 at 4:35 P.M. with the Administrator and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #108
revealed ADON #108 advised it was not best practice for staff to have phones out in resident rooms. The
Administrator reported that he had just met with a detective from the local police department today because
Resident #77's family had filed a police report regarding the situation of STNA #800 being in the residents
room on a phone and having her hand in her pants. The Administrator stated he had watched the video at
the police station, but it was different than what he was shown by Resident #77's family. The Administrator
expressed STNA #800 was sitting in a chair with a hand in her pants area and was using her phone.
Interview on 02/08/24 at 11:35 A.M. with Social Services Director #55 revealed she had observed the brief
video and believed STNA #800's behavior was inappropriate and disrespectful to Resident #77.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 02/07/24 at 4:35 P.M. with the Administrator revealed the facility did not believe the allegation

Interview on 02/07/24 at 4:35 P.M. with the DON confirmed she had not obtained a statement from LPN

hours if the events that caused the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury.
Further review of the policy revealed the written procedures for investigations included identifying and
interviewing all involved persons, and providing thorough documentation of the investigation. The policy
also indicated that efforts would be made to protect residents from harm as well as additional abuse during
and after the investigation, which included responding immediately to protect the alleged victim as well as
the integrity of the investigation, and staffing changes if needed to protect residents from the alleged
perpetrator.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00150122.
