and body language appearing rude to residents. Improvement needed was noted to be LPN #138 needed
to work on her customer service and had been educated two times previously. She needed to watch her
tone with the residents as well as her body language.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 09/09/24 at 12:04 P.M. with Resident #83 revealed the past weekend the resident had placed
her light on and the state tested nurse aide (STNA) came in a timely manner and asked of her request.
Resident #83 told the STNA she wanted to have pain medication and a Benadryl, which are prn orders. The
STNA stated she would deliver the request to the nurse on duty, LPN #138. The nurse came in with the
pain pill and acted really snotty. Resident #83 stated She really had an attitude. Resident #83 asked her if
she could give her the Benadryl table as well and the nurse got huffy and stormed out of the room
slamming the door. In the mean time she received a call from a family member and the nurse came back in
with the Benadryl tablet. The resident stated she verbalized in a civil tone her displeasure with the nurse's
rude behaviors and the nurse stated Do you want the pill or not? so the resident took the tablet from her
and requested she leave my room. When she left, she slammed the door again.
Interview on 09/09/24 at 1:28 P.M. with the family of Resident #83 revealed on 08/31/24 at approximately
1:30 AM, the family member was on the phone with her sister, Resident #83, talking to her about her
inability to sleep and having some pain. The family member advised her to request some pain medications.
While still on the phone, Resident #83 put on the call light and a State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) arrived to
receive Resident #83's request for pain meds, which she has as prn orders to have. Resident #83
requested a pain pill and a Benadryl for sleep assistance. The STNA verified the request and stated she
would report this to the nurse. While still on the phone with Resident #83, the nurse, LPN #138, came in the
room with very strong attitude about having to get the medications, slamming the door when she left the
room. When the nurse came back she was very disrespectful and rude to the family member's sister. When
Resident #83 asked about the Benadryl, the nurse seemed to get angry and left the room again slamming
the door. The nurse returned to the room and Resident #83 addressed the way the nurse was making her
feel as disrespectful and rude. The nurse was overheard stating Are you going to take this or not? Resident
#83 stated Yes I will take the pill and then you can leave my room. When the nurse left the room, she
slammed the door a third time. Resident #83 then stated to the family member she was upset with the
treatment from the nurse and was hesitant on turning her call light on for other requests in fear the same
nurse will come back and mistreat her again.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 10:00 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed there were two staff
identified for being rude with poor customer service. This included a prior incident with LPN #177 who's
employment was terminated and LPN #138 who was disciplined with a final written warning. Both staff
members were trained upon hire and received continuous education along with quarterly meetings/trainings
which have included customer service. The DON stated she had one report of a resident treated poorly
since they let go of LPN #177. This new report happened the prior week when a resident's family member
called in a complaint, which they addressed. The DON stated there have been no other resident's
complaining to their daily care consultants at this point. The DON stated LPN #138 had just received an
in-service on customer service and resident rights on 08/13/24.
Additional interview on 09/10/24 at 2:15 P.M. with Resident #83 revealed LPN #138 comes in and behaves
as if she is too busy to help them, storms around huffing and puffing and slamming doors. The resident
stated both times the LPN had to come in and assist her she had to ask her to leave because of the way
she was making her feel which she does not get from any other nurse at the facility.

diabetes with neuropathy, frequent falls, bladder neuropathies, muscle weakness, heart disease, morbid
obesity and major depressive disorder.

Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 09/09/24 at 10:20 A M with Resident #75 revealed most of the staff will answer call lights in a
timely fashion and it all depends on who is working. One nurse, LPN #138, has a bit of an attitude. Resident
#75 stated LPN #138 doesn't treat her abusively or neglectfully but carries around an attitude and was just
not nice to her. Resident #75 stated if she knows LPN #138 is on duty, she will refuse to use her call light
because she don't feel she needs to be disrespected by a nurse. Resident #75 stated she has reported this
to the DON.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 10:00 A.M. with the Administrator confirmed she was unaware of any other reports
of poor customer service from staff, including LPN #138, to any other resident as there were no other
interviews completed other than daily caring partner visits. The Administrator explained LPN #138 was
recently in-serviced on 08/31/24 on customer service.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 10:00 A.M. the DON stated she was unaware of Resident #75 having a report of
LPN #138 being mean or rude.
The non-compliance substantiates Complaint Number OH00157666.
