**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure resident beds were maintained in a safe
condition. This affected one resident (#53) of nine reviewed for physical environment concerns. The facility
census was 81.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #53's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/09/23. Diagnoses included
Alzheimer's disease, stroke, type II diabetes, psychosis, altered mental status, major depressive disorder,
anxiety disorder, and muscle weakness.

bed mobility and transfer.
Observation on 03/10/25 at 11:27 A.M. of Resident #53's room found the headboard of the bed leaning to
the left when facing the bed. When the headboard was touched it was found to have been broken free from

bed was broken. She was unsure how long it had been that way since she does not regularly work on
Resident #53's hallway.

observation, resident and staff interviews, record review, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to
document a fall in the medical record, complete post fall assessments, and investigate a fall in a timely
manner. This affected one (#54) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 81.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #54 revealed she was admitted on [DATE] for physical therapy
following joint surgery to her left shoulder. Admitting diagnoses included presence of left artificial shoulder
joint, type two diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism and gout. On

left arm and a full hinged leg brace applied to her left leg. Concurrent interview with Resident #54 revealed

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0921
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, staff interview, and resident interview, the facility failed to provide a clean and
comfortable environment. This affected one (#48) resident and has the potential to affect all resident
residing in the facility. The current census is 81.
Findings include:
Observation on 03/10/25 at 8:00 A.M. upon entry to the facility revealed a remodeling in progress. At the
front entrance the desk and surrounding area cloths were covering items and there were visible markings
along the posts, which appeared to be prepped for painting. No staff were observed in the area working on
the front desk area. Observations along the hallway in the main dining room area revealed one room had
ladders, drop cloths, and other construction tools laying in the room across from the main dining area. Dust
was observed on the handrail in the main hallway across from the main dining room. Observations on
03/10/25 from 11:00 A.M. to 12:10 P.M. revealed noise levels to be elevated during the lunch meal service
as contractors were observed painting, nailing, and sanding walls in the room across from the main dining
room area.
Interview on 03/11/25 at 8:47 A.M. Resident #48 stated he used to eat in the dining room but recently had
started to request to eat in his room due to the construction. Resident #48 stated he has requested his as
needed allergy medications more frequently due to all the dust and paint fumes from the construction.
Resident #48 stated he has reported this to the staff but has been told it has to be done for the renovation.
Resident #48 stated it is not a homelike environment and he feels the remodel has been going on far longer
than reasonable.
Interview on 03/12/25 at 8:50 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #575 verified Resident #48 used to eat in
the dining room but recently had been requesting to eat in his room due to the construction. RN #575
verified the resident had been requesting more of his as needed hydroxyzine recently due to allergies from
dust and debris from the remodeling in the facility.
Interview on 03/13/25 at 11:30 A.M. the Director of Operations (DOP) revealed the construction in the
resident areas has been in progress since July 2024. Per DOP there have been complaints from staff and
residents regarding the noise and mess of the construction. The DOP verified there was dust and noise
during meal times in the main dining room causing residents to complain. Barriers walls were once in use
during the construction of the room next to the dining room but where discontinued recently prior to the
construction being completed. The DOP verified there was noise and dust in the resident's areas and
residents were choosing to eat in their rooms due to the construction.
This deficiency represents non-compliance identified during the investigation for Complaint Number
OH00162379.
