a. Observation of the posted floor plans revealed Resident #97 and #99's room was labeled as a storage
room. There was no evidence of room [ROOM NUMBER] on the floor plan. Interview with MD #326 at the
time of the observation verified the facility had been approved in January 2024 for the storage room to be
designated as a resident room; however the name plate outside room [ROOM NUMBER] stated Storage
Room with masking tape listing the resident names and there was no room [ROOM NUMBER] labeled on
the facility maps.
b. Observation of Resident #67 and Resident #68's room and revealed two black speckled areas along the
lower aspect of the drywall near the floor where the baseboard had been removed. The black speckled
areas were in a circular shape measuring approximately 5.5 inches. MD #326 verified the residents room

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to prevent a severe weight loss
for Resident #2, a resident who received all nutrition via enteral feedings. This affected one resident (#2) of
three residents reviewed for nutrition. The census was 72.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual Harm occurred on 08/03/24 when Resident #2 was assessed to sustain a 10.55% weight loss (with
the weight loss occurring between 07/30/24 and 08/03/24). The dietician was not notified and no new
nutritional interventions were implemented. The resident continued to lose weight resulting in a 13.8%
severe weight loss within 30 days of admission.
Findings include:
Closed medical record review revealed Resident #2 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute
and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, atrial fibrillation, total colectomy, gastrostomy, acute kidney
failure, hemodialysis and protein-calorie malnutrition.
Review of the care plan titled At Nutritional Risk secondary to nothing by mouth (NPO)-tube feeding,
hemodialysis treatment, body mass index (BMI) reflects underweight status and use of antibiotics, severe
esophageal stricture and ascites (revised 07/19/24) revealed goals including the resident would maintain
weight near dry weight and maintain fluid balance and skin integrity through next review on 11/06/24.
Interventions included monitor/record/report to physician as needed (PRN) signs/symptoms of malnutrition:
Emaciation (Cachexia), muscle wasting, significant weight loss: 3 lbs in 1 week, >5% in 1 month,
>7.5% in 3 months, >10% in 6 months. Monitor intake, weight, skin, labs, medication, diet tolerance
and hydration status. Weigh at same time of day and record: pre/post hemodialysis weights. Review of the
record revealed no evidence the care plan was revised to reflect changes in dialysis and weight loss.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2
was cognitively intact for daily decision-making, received nutrition 51% or more from a feeding tube,
weighed 123 pounds and was 71 inches tall.
Review of Resident #2's electronic Physician Orders, Medication Administration Records, Progress Notes
and Weights revealed the following:
Between 07/17/24 and 07/24/24, the resident received the enteral feeding product, Nepro (therapeutic
nutrition designed to help meet the specific nutrition needs of people on dialysis) 55 milliliters per hour
(mL/hr) continuous via enteral feeding and his weights ranged between 115.8 pounds (lbs) and 119.9 (lbs).
Between 07/24/24 and 07/30/24, the resident received Nepro 60 mL/hr for 18 hours a day via enteral
feeding to provide a rest during dialysis treatments and his weights ranged between 119.9 (lbs) and 126.1
(lbs) on 07/30/24. Prostat (nutritional supplement) 30 mL three times a day was started on 07/29/24.
Physician #922 ordered Resident #2's dialysis to be held between 07/30/24 through 08/02/24.
On 08/03/24, the resident weight was 112.8 (lbs) and he continued to receive Nepro 60 mL/hr for 18 hours
a day via enteral feeding with no new interventions implemented. This was noted to be a 13.3
pound/10.55% weight loss between 07/29/24 and 08/03/24. There was no evidence a re-weight was

Level of Harm - Actual harm
On 08/05/24, Physician #922 ordered Resident #2's dialysis to be discontinued due to improved kidney
function.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the care plan: Requires Tube Feeding related to Dysphagia (dated 08/09/24) revealed the
resident was dependent with tube feeding and water flushes. The registered dietitian was to evaluate
quarterly and PRN. Monitor caloric intake, estimate needs, and make recommendations for changes to tube
feeding as needed.
The next documented weight was obtained on 08/13/24 and Resident #2 weighed 102.4 (lbs). This
reflected an additional 10.4 pound weight loss for the resident from 08/03/24. The resident continued to
receive Nepro 60 mL/hr for 18 hours a day via enteral feeding. Review of Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) #350's progress note dated 08/13/24 revealed fluctuations in weight and weight loss noted when
initiated weighing with different scale. The note indicated to check weights daily for three consecutive days.
No new nutritional interventions were implemented at this time.
On 08/14/24, the resident's weight was 99.8 (lbs). A significant weight loss of 13 (lbs) /11.5% in 11 days
which constituted a severe weight loss of 13.8% over 30 days/admission weight was identified. Registered
Dietitian #924 recommended to increase Nepro 60 mL/hr to 20 hours for a total volume of 1200 mL to
infuse and provide 2160 kcal, 97.2 grams of protein and 872 mL of water. Recommendation was also made
to increase flush to 100 mL every six hours and monitor weights daily.
On 08/15/24, the resident's weight was 101.6 (lbs) and on 08/16/24 his weight was 100.0 (lbs). Resident #2
continued to receive Nepro 60 mL/hr for 18 hours a day via enteral feeding until the morning of 08/16/24.
There was no evidence Registered Dietitian #924's recommendations were implemented between 08/14/24
until the morning of 08/16/24.
Review of the discharge MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident weighed 100 pounds
and received nutrition 51% or more from a feeding tube.
Review of a progress note dated 08/16/24 at 5:58 P.M. revealed NP #912 ordered Resident #2 to be sent to
the emergency room for evaluation due to lab results and weight loss. The resident was admitted to the
hospital and remained in the hospital at the time of the current survey.
On 09/05/24 between 2:04 P.M. and 2:45 P.M., interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified
Resident #2 had a severe weight loss while residing in the facility and receiving nutrition via enteral tube
feedings. The DON verified the facility had not implemented interventions to address the weight loss
identified on 08/03/24 until 08/16/24 as the dietitian's recommendation to increase the enteral feeding an
additional two hours a day was not implemented as recommended on 08/14/24. The DON stated the
dietitian was in the facility twice a week and reviewed all weights at that time; therefore, staff does not call
or provide written notification to the dietitian with weight loss.
On 09/10/24, the DON provided, via electronic interview, a statement from Nurse Practitioner #912 dated
08/14/24 stating Resident #2 has experienced a significant weight loss of greater than 20 (lbs) in the last
two to three weeks, despite being on an enteral feedings and his daily caloric intake being followed by RD
(registered dietitian). Patient with documented severe esophageal stricture.

Patient then underwent colectomy and diverting ileostomy on 05/14/24 and was started on enteral feedings.
Prior to those procedures, the patient had a documented weight loss of greater than 100 (lbs). Due to
apparent malabsorption issues, chronic adult failure to thrive/protein-calorie malnutrition, and other
co-morbidities, including end stage renal disease on hemodialysis, and chronic leukocytosis the nurse
practitioner indicated weight loss may be unavoidable.
On 09/11/24 between 3:05 P.M. and 3:15 P.M., interview with Registered Dietitian (RD) #924 revealed she
reviews all high risk residents including dialysis residents. RD #924 revealed Diet Tech #928 was actually in
the facility twice a week and notifies her of weight changes, but she still expected the facility to notify her
and not wait until Diet Tech #928 was in the building. RD #924 stated she worked remotely and it was her
expectation that weights and documentation was put in the electronic medical record timely so she had the
most-up-to date information when completing her assessments to make appropriate recommendations. RD
#924 stated the facility did not notify her of any weight loss involving Resident #2 until 08/14/24 due to
weights not being entered (electronically). RD #924 also revealed no one had informed her Resident #2's
dialysis had been discontinued on 08/05/24 stating she had called the resident's son on 08/14/24 to inform
him of possible weight fluctuations with dialysis and he (the son) informed her Resident #2 was no longer
receiving dialysis. RD #924 verified Resident #2 had GI malabsorption nutrition problems and having the
tube feeding continuous at the lower rate could have resulted in a better tolerance, as his weights were
stable during the first part of his stay but the facility failed to notify her of this and if the facility would have
notified her of his weight changes, even when they thought it was possibly equipment error, she could have
implemented additional interventions. RD #924 stated it was her expectation that staff implement her orders
timely especially as she notifies three managers in writing when recommendations were made. RD #924
verified the facility failed to timely implement her recommendations and notify her of significant changes in
treatment and weights.
Review of the policy: Weight Assessment and Intervention (revised 10/06/22) revealed resident weights
were monitored for undesirable or unintended weight loss or gain. Any weight change of 5% or more since
the last weight assessment was retaken the next day for confirmation. If the weight was verified, nursing
would immediately notify the dietitian in writing. Unless notified of significant weight change, the dietitian
would review the unit weight record monthly to follow individual weight trends over time.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00156965.

observation, medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure residents
received oxygen per physician orders. This affected one resident (#57). The facility identified 13 residents
that were ordered to receive oxygen. The census was 72.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #57 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified
dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dependence on supplemental oxygen.
Review of the electronic Physician Orders dated September 2024 revealed continuous oxygen 2 liters via
nasal cannula (L/NC).
a. On 09/03/24 at 11:52 A.M., observation revealed State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #416 was in the lobby
area across from the nurses' station and was assisting Resident #57. STNA #416 was observed removing
the oxygen regulator from an empty oxygen tank, applied the regulator to a new oxygen tank, applied the
nasal cannula set on Resident #57 and set the oxygen level to be administered to the resident.
On 09/03/24 at 11:57 A.M., observation revealed Resident #57's oxygen was set to 3 L/NC.
On 09/03/24 at 11:58 A.M., interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #612 verified STNA #416 had
set the flow rate of oxygen to 3 L/NC and Resident #57 was ordered to receive 2 L/NC.
On 09/04/24 at 1:57 P.M., interview with the Director of Nursing verified a nurse should change oxygen
tanks and set oxygen flow rate.
b. On 09/11/24 at approximately 10:00 A.M., Resident #57 was observed sitting in a specialty wheelchair in
the lobby watching television. No oxygen was observed on or near the resident.
On 09/11/24 at 10:39 A.M., observation revealed Resident #57 continued sitting in the lobby watching
television and was not wearing oxygen. Surveyor asked Medical Records #345 if Resident #57 was still
ordered to receive oxygen. Medical Records #345 looked at the electronic orders and verified the resident
should be wearing oxygen at 2L/NC, the resident was not wearing oxygen and she would notify the nurse.
On 09/11/24 at 10:47 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #401 was observed pushing an oxygen concentrator
down the hallway to the lobby area, RN #401 attempted to obtain an oxygenation level for approximately
one minute and could not get a reading. RN #401 verified the pulse ox machine was functioning when she
applied it to herself; however, when applied to the resident, an oxygenation level could not be obtained.
Resident #57 was alert and conversing with RN#401 during the observation and RN #401 applied
supplemental oxygen at 2L/NC to Resident #57. At 10:52 A.M., RN #401 was provided a different pulse ox
machine and the resident's oxygenation level was 100% while receiving oxygen at a flow rate of 2L/NC.
Review of the policy: Oxygen Administration (dated 04/30/24) revealed the physician's orders were to be
reviewed for oxygen administration.

was not able to verbalize pain and was assessed for pain or possible pain by assessing negative
vocalization, facial expressions, body language and consolability.
Record review revealed from 08/31/24 through 09/04/24 there were no additional pain assessments or
documentation addressing pain for Resident #37. There was no baseline plan of care developed for
Resident #37 related to pain including pain associated with pressure ulcers.
On 09/05/24 at 9:45 A.M., a resident could be heard yelling and moaning. As the surveyor approached
Resident #37's room, the moaning and yelling was louder. There was a treatment cart observed outside of
the resident's room and State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #621 stated the nurse and nurse
practitioner (NP) were in the resident's room doing a wound treatment. Resident #37 could be heard yelling
and moaning as Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #350 was observed exiting the room. ADON #350
stated NP #908 was completing an initial assessment and treatment of the resident's Stage IV sacrum
pressure ulcer and heels. ADON #350 was asked if Resident #37 had been pre-medicated (prior to the
pressure ulcer wound assessment and treatment) and stated she would have to check because that would
have been given by a different nurse. NP #908 exited the room at that time and ADON #350 asked if the
resident had been pre-medicated. NP #908 stated I don't know, that was the facility responsibility and
returned to the resident's bedside and finished the treatment. ADON #350 reviewed the electronic
medication administration record and verified there was no pain assessment prior to the treatment, no pain
medication was administered prior to the treatment, and when the resident was screaming and moaning
ADON #350 and NP #908 did not intervene to address the resident's pain and finished the treatment.
An attempt to interview the resident following the observation was unsuccessful as the resident was not
interviewable.
Review of the electronic record revealed Resident #37 was ordered as needed (PRN) Tylenol 650
milligrams every four hours for mild pain. There was no evidence the resident had received any PRN

medication ordered for Resident #37.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of ADON #350's progress note dated 09/05/24 at 2:30 P.M. revealed Resident #37 was assessed
due to being a new admission with wounds (pressure ulcers) including a sacrum Stage IV, left and right
heels deep tissue injury (DTI) and left lateral foot DTI. The note included, Resident #37 was without
complaints or signs of pain when initiated assessment. Resident began yelling with wound care, states I
want to go to bed, resident reassured she was in bed, no complaints or signs of pain, continues to yell and
strikes out at NP. Resident #37 with frequent yelling out and at times striking out with care.
On 09/05/24 at 10:45 A.M., interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed it was not the usual
practice of the facility not to medicate prior to doing a pressure ulcer dressing change. The DON stated it
was her expectation if a resident complained or exhibited signs of pain, the resident should be assessed
and then treated for pain.
Review of the physician order dated 09/05/24 revealed a new order for Resident #37 to receive Klonopin
one milligram twice a day for anxiety on this date.
Review of Resident #37's electronic Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 09/11/24 revealed
Klonopin (anxiolytic) 1 milligrams (mg) was administered at 8:00 A.M. and Tylenol 325 (mg) two tablets was
administered at 9:25 A.M. PRN for pain.
On 09/11/24 between 10:09 A.M. and 10:31 A.M., following the administration of the pain medication,
observation of Resident #37's pressure ulcer dressing changes revealed no signs or symptoms of pain and
no yelling and moaning was heard throughout the treatments to the resident's four pressure ulcers.
Review of the policy: Pain- Clinical Protocol (dated June 2013) revealed staff and the physician would
identify the nature of (characteristics such as location, intensity, frequency, pattern, etc.) and severity of
pain. Staff would assess pain using a consistent approach and a standardized pain assessment instrument
appropriate to the resident's cognitive level. The staff would observe the resident (during rest and
movement) for evidence of pain; for example, grimacing while being repositioned or having a wound
dressing changed. The nursing staff would identify any situations or interventions where an increase in the
resident's pain may be anticipated; for example, wound care, ambulation, or repositioning. With input from
the resident and/or advocate, the physician and staff would establish goals of pain treatment and order
appropriate non-pharmacologic and medication interventions to address the individual's pain.
This deficiency represents incidental findings of non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint
Number OH00156965.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure infection
protocols were implemented when facility staff failed to ensure gloving and hand washing was completed
during incontinence care and indwelling catheter supplies were maintained off the floor. This affected two
residents (#28, #37). The census was 72.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Medical record review revealed Resident #37 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including moderate
intellectual disability, schizoaffective disorder, multiple pressure ulcers and anxiety.
On 09/11/24 between 10:09 A.M. and 10:31 A.M., observation of Resident #37's sacrum pressure ulcer
treatment revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #412, Registered Nurse (RN) #401 and State Tested
Nurse Aide (STNA) #306 positioned the resident and removed the incontinence product. The incontinence
product was saturated with dark yellow urine and pasty, dried stool was observed on the buttocks and
around the wound edges. There was no dressing covering the Stage IV sacrum pressure ulcer. STNA #306
provided incontinence care and assisted with repositioning turning the resident without changing her
gloves. LPN #412 cleansed the wound with wound cleaner resulting in a brown substance observed on the
4x4 gauze. The wound was packed with 1/4 strength dakin's soaked gauze and placed in the wound bed,
cream applied to periwound and covered with an ABD without the use of tape. STNA #306 secured the
incontinence product and repositioned the resident's clothing and bedsheet with the same soiled gloves.
STNA #306 then gathered the linens, removed her gloves and left the room without washing her hands.
On 09/11/24 at 10:35 A.M., interview with LPN #412 and RN #401 verified the above observations.
Review of the policy: Handwashing/Hand Hygiene (revised October 2023) revealed had hygiene was
indicated before moving from work on a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same resident and
immediately after glove removal. The use of gloves does not replace hand washing/hand hygiene.
Review of the policy: Perineal Care (revised October 2010) revealed perineal care will provide comfort and
cleanliness and prevent infection. After completion of perineal care, disposable items was to be disposed of,
gloves removed and discarded, hands washed thoroughly and then the resident was to be repositioned
including bed covers to make comfortable.
