Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #7 received eating
assistance promptly upon the delivery of her food, and had their clothing protector removed when the meal
was over. This affected one of four residents reviewed for dignity concerns. The facility census was 88.
Findings include:
Record review for Resident #7 revealed diagnoses included bipolar disorder, dysphagia, cognitive
communication deficit, and dementia. The most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed the
resident was severely cognitively impaired and requiring limited assistance from one staff member when
eating.
Observation of Resident #7 on 08/26/19 at 12:09 P.M. revealed she was sitting upright in her bed with an
uncovered, uneaten lunch tray in front of her. She appeared to be awake, and made no effort to eat the food
in front of her. Continuous observation revealed the situation unchanged until 12:27 P.M., when an
unidentified State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) entered the room and began to assist her with eating. A white
towel was wrapped around Resident #7's neck and shoulders during this process to serve as a clothing
protector.
Observation of Resident #7 on 08/26/19 at 2:20 P.M. revealed she still had the clothing protector on, which
had food debris on it. She was not interviewable.
Interview at 2:23 P.M. on 08/26/19 with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #400 confirmed the towel was still
on Resident #7. LPN #400 immediately removed the towel and verified it should not have been left on after
the meal and a clothing protector should have been used not a towel.
On 08/28/19 at 4:40 P.M. the Director of Nursing verified the above concerns.

Not hire anyone with a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review and staff interview the facility failed to check all potential new hires against the
State Nurse Aide Registry (NAR) to ensure no employee had a finding entered into the NAR concerning
abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents or misappropriation of their property. This had the
potential to affect all 88 residents currently residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of a document titled Phone List by Department, revealed the record reflected 75 State Tested Nurse
Aides (STNAs) currently employed at the facility, 32 of which worked on an as needed (PRN) basis. These
employees were checked against the State NAR.
Review of a document titled New Hires Last 12 Months, dated 08/29/19 revealed the record reflected 14
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) #820, #825, #830, #835, #840, #845, #850, #855, #860, #875, #880,
#885, #890, and #895. There were four Registered Nurses (RN) #800, #805, #810, and #815. Three
housekeeping and laundry staff (Housekeeper) #945, #950, and #955. Seven dietary staff (Dietary) #905,
#910, #915, #920, #925, #930, and #935. One activity staff #960 and one receptionist #940. All were hired
in the last 12 months. Record review revealed no evidence these employees had been checked against the
State NAR.
On 08/29/19 at 4:01 P.M. interview with the Administrator and Human Resources (HR) #900 verified she
had not been checking all potential new hires against the NAR.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure comprehensive assessments were accurate. This
affected three (Residents #19, Resident #46, and Resident #64) of four residents reviewed for
Pre-admission Screen - Resident Review. The facility census was 88.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #19's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, diabetes and heart failure.
Review of Resident #19's medical record revealed the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated
05/07/19, revealed Section A did not indicate a mental illness as identified by Ohio Mental Health and
Addiction Services.
2. Review of Resident #46's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including dementia with Lewy bodies, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #41's care plan was revised
and updated to meet her individual needs. This affected one (Resident #41) out of 27 residents whose care
plans were reviewed.
Findings include:
Resident #41 was admitted to this facility on 07/24/18. Her admitting diagnoses included vascular
dementia, fracture of left femur, dementia, and blindness.
Her Minimum Data Set Assessment 3.0 (MDS) dated [DATE] showed this resident had severe cognitive
impairment. She needed extensive assistance for bed mobility, toilet use and personal hygiene. For all other
activities of daily living she was totally dependant on staff. Her skin assessment from this MDS revealed
she was at risk for pressure ulcer development and did at the time of this MDS have skin tears on her legs
and arms. This resident resided on the dementia unit and received Hospice services.
Review of the resident's plan of care dated 07/25/18 revealed the resident had a potential for actual skin
impairment and or development of pressure ulcers related to her diagnoses of hypothyroidism,
hypertension and being legally blind. Interventions included: keeping the skin clean and dry; provide a
pressure relieving air mattress; provide pressure reducing cushion to char; pad corners of dressers, night
stand and food board; provide a Roho cushion; and to use caution during transfers and bed mobility to
prevent striking arms, legs and hands against any sharp or hard surface.
Observation of Resident #41's bilateral upper and lower extremities revealed brushing on bilateral elbows
and a skin tear on the lower left arm. The bilateral lower extremities showed bruising in several areas on
bilateral legs and a skin tear noted to her left shin/calf area with a dressing. These bruises and skin tears
were verified by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #459 on 08/28/19 at 10:06 A.M. She stated the resident
had a habit of forcibly moving her legs and arms over the sides of the wheelchair and while in bed. She
stated that was the reason for the dermal sleeves for the arms and legs.
Observation of the resident's room on 08/28/19 at 11:06 A.M. revealed there was no padding noted on the
dresser or the nightstand. The food board of the bed was not padded and the food board of the wheelchair
was not padded.
Interview with LPN #459 on 08/28/19 at 11:15 A.M. verified that the dressers and the food boards were not
padded. LPN #459 revealed those interventions did not really apply to the resident at the present time
because the resident was now non ambulatory and was unable to move around. When asked about striking
her arms/legs against objects and padding them for protection she stated that Hospice changed the orders.
The orders were changed to a perimeter mattress with extra padding attachments to the perimeters of the
bed to prevent the resident from striking her arms/legs when in bed. Resident #41 was also ordered to wear
the derma sleeves to extremities for extra protection. LPN #459 verified present interventions including the
perimeter mattress and the dermal sleeves were not listed on the current care plan.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure appropriate interventions to prevent a
fall with injury for Resident #18. Actual Harm occurred when State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #301
propelled Resident #18 in a wheel chair, without footrests. The resident's foot dropped to the floor and she
fell, resulting in a hematoma of the forehead and transfer to the hospital. This affected one resident
(Resident #18) of one resident reviewed for falls.
Findings include:
Resident #18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, physical debility,
and osteoarthritis. The Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had severe
cognitive impairment and required the extensive assistance of one person for all activities of daily living,
including locomotion, via wheel chair. The resident was sent to the hospital on [DATE].
Observation on 08/28/19 at 8:06 A.M. revealed an STNA (unidentified) approached Registered Nurse (RN)
#302 on the 500-unit hallway and informed her Resident #18 had fallen in the dining room. RN #302 went to
the dining room and found Resident #18 sitting upright in her wheelchair with a hematoma across her
forehead. No other nurse was noted on the scene. RN #302 promptly removed Resident #18 to her room for
assessment.
Interview with RN #302 on 08/28/19 at 8:17 A.M. revealed when a resident fell, unlicensed staff should wait
until a nurse assessed the resident before getting them up.
Interview with STNA #301 on 08/28/19 at 8:25 A.M. verified he was pushing Resident #18 in the wheelchair
when her foot caught on the floor (no footrests were on the wheel chair) and she fell forward, hitting her
head, resulting in a bruise across her forehead. He revealed he got the resident back into the wheelchair
before a nurse arrived and confirmed he should not have moved the resident until she was assessed by the
nurse
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/28/19 at 9:36 A.M. confirmed the resident fell during
transport in a wheel chair without footrests in place and fallen residents should not be moved until a nurse
assessed them for injury. The DON revealed Resident #18 was sent to the hospital for evaluation following
the fall.
Record review of the facility's fall prevention protocol (undated) revealed staff was not to move a fallen
resident until a nurse assessed them for injury.
