The assessment revealed Resident #86 had behaviors towards staff, was frequently incontinent of urine and bowel, used a wheelchair for self-propelling, nursing care for a diabetic skin impairment and required limited assist from staff for activities of daily living (ADL) including transfers and incontinence care, with care needs fluctuating daily.

I then asked a couple other people that had electric wheelchairs if I could borrow their chargers to use on my wheelchair. One of the power cords worked for my wheelchair, so I used it to charge up my chair. Once they found out I was using someone else's charger they had the maintenance man come in and cover my outlets. Later that night he came back and removed the covers. I was told I would not get my charger back until I left the facility for good. When I left, they gave me back the charger and (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0624 facilities. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interview on 02/07/24 at 3:08 P.M. was attempted with Facility #8. The facility failed to provide which health campus and location the referral packet for Resident #86 was sent for review by Facility #8. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 02/06/24 at 9:13 A.M. with AD #176 confirmed Resident #86 had been accepted for admission at Facility #33 and at Facility #34. However, Resident #86 had refused to transfer to either facility due to those facilities being outside of the Columbus area. Interview on 02/06/24 at 9:43 A.M. with Long-Term Care Ombudsman #500 revealed her interaction with Resident #86 began on 12/06/23 following the receipt of the certified 30-day notice dated 11/21/23. Ombudsman #500 met with Resident #86 and then requested an appeal hearing for the 30-day discharge notice. At the time of the meeting, the facility did not have an acting social service designee due to turn over of administration staff. During the discharge hearing, Resident #86 was in attendance, but became angry and left the hearing. After the results of the hearing were received, Ombudsman #500 requested a list of all the facilities Resident #86's referral packet had been sent to from the facility. During follow up phone calls to random facilities on the list, the ombudsman confirmed none of the facilities which she had contacted received Resident #86's referral packet form the facility. Ombudsman #500 attempted to contact the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Social Services Designee (SSD) at the facility for confirmation and proof of sending the referral packet, however, there was no communication from either facility staff member. On 01/31/24, Resident #86 contacted Ombudsman #500 to notify her of his discharge from the facility to In Town Suites (an extended stay hotel). Interview on 02/07/24 at 10:22 A.M. with Resident #86 revealed he had left the facility last week (01/31/24). Resident #86 stated, The Administrator and the Social Worker brought me to this hotel. They had given me some supplies and my medications. I do need help with my dressing changes on my foot and with getting cleaned up. There are a couple of friends I made there that come over to help me, and my brother is here. They had wanted me to go to Cleveland and some place in Cincinnati and I said No because I wanted to stay here near my people. They say I left against medical advice, but I didn't know what I was signing when I left there. The resident confimed he was still at the extended stay hotel. Review of the facility's policy titled, Transfer or Discharge Notice dated 12/2016 revealed, in determining the transfer location for a resident, the decision to transfer to a particular location would be determined by the needs, choices and best interests of that resident. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00150746 and Complaint Number OH00150534.
