Based on record review, observation, staff interview, and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to provide dining services in a dignified manner. This affected two (Residents #13 and #36) of five residents reviewed for nutrition. The facility census was 57.
Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #13 revealed an admission date of 02/11/16 with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 02/18/21, revealed the resident was cognitively impaired and required extensive assistance of one staff with feeding. Review of the care plan, last updated 05/11/21, revealed the resident was at nutritional risk due to diagnosis of dementia and need for need for mechanically altered diet due to pocketing foods. The resident could feed herself using her hands to eat and required staff assistance needed to finish and eat adequately. Interventions included the following: serve pureed diet as ordered, provide assistance to eat as needed for optimal meal intakes, offer cueing to clear pocketed foods from mouth as needed, monitor for choking, pocketing food, or drooling, monitor for signs and symptoms of self-feeding difficulties, and serve meals in the dining room.

STNA #455 confirmed Resident #13 was reaching for her food while STNA was assisting Resident #36 but she had deliberately placed the resident's food out of reach because she didn't think resident would be able to feed herself as resident's ability to self-feed was variable from day to day. Review of the facility's policy titled Dining and Meal Service, dated 2013, revealed the dining experience would be person-centered with the purpose of enhancing each individual patient's/resident's quality of life and would be supportive of each individuals' needs during dining and individuals would be assisted promptly and in a timely manner after the meal arrived.

Based on observation, staff interview, and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to ensure staff performed appropriate hand hygiene during meals. This affected three (Residents #13, #23, and #36) of 14 residents on the Grove Unit. The facility census was 57.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Observation on 05/10/21 at 12:21 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #455 entered the dining room after returning from a break off the floor, and did not perform hand hygiene before providing hands on assistance with eating to Residents #13, #23, and #36. STNA #455 did not sanitize her hands between assisting Residents #13, #23, and #36. Interview on 05/10/21 at 12: 40 P.M. with STNA #455 confirmed she did not wash or sanitize her hands upon returning to the floor following her break and did not wash or sanitize hands in between providing hands on assistance with eating to Residents #13, #23 and #36. Observation on 05/12/21 at 12:49 P.M. revealed STNA #455 was feeding Resident #13 her lunch and was wearing gloves. Then STNA #455 removed her gloves and discarded them, donned a pair of new gloves from her pocket and assisted Resident #36 with eating for approximately one minute. STNA then removed her gloves and discarded them, donned a new pair of gloves from her pocket and went back to provide additional hands-on assistance with feeding to Resident #13. The STNA was observed not to perform any hand hygiene between her glove changes from Resident #13 to Resident #36 and then Resident #36 to Resident #13. Interview on 05/12/21 at 12:55 P.M. with STNA #455 confirmed she did not wash or sanitize her hands between residents, and she thought changing gloves between residents eliminated the need for her to perform hand hygiene. Review of the facility's policy titled Hand Hygiene, dated 05/15/20, revealed hand hygiene should be performed before and after patient contact and glove use did not eliminate the need for hand hygiene. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH00111766.
