Review of physician orders dated October 2023 revealed Resident #45 had the following orders: non weight
bearing to left arm and toe touch weight bearing to right leg effective 08/14/23.
Review of physical therapy and occupational therapy orders revealed both therapies were discontinued
effective 08/31/23 due to Resident #45 reaching maximum potential until weight bearing status was
changed.
Review of the progress notes revealed on 10/02/23 at 10:21 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #209 noted
Resident #45 was alert and had left the faciity on a Leave of Absence (LOA) for an appointment. On

Resident #45 to his appointment. [NAME] #225 looked in the mirror while on the freeway and observed
Resident #45 sliding out of his wheelchair. [NAME] #225 pulled over and called 9-1-1. Resident #45 was
complaining of knee pain. On 10/02/23 at 3:08 P.M., Resident #45 was taken to a local hospital and
admitted .

keep the wheelchair locked into place and a seatbelt that was pulled down from the ceiling and across the
resident's wheelchair before locking into place. [NAME] #225 stated the seatbelt went over the wheelchair
arms before it was locked into place. [NAME] #225 confirmed there was a gap between the resident and
seatbelt when it was locked.
Interview on 10/03/23 at 5:15 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed when strapping a resident into the
transport van, the seatbelt should be under the wheelchair arms so it fits snug against the resident, like a
regular seatbelt in a car. The Administrator confirmed the incident had not been reported as a possible
allegation of neglect. The Administrator stated he was not aware [NAME] #225 had put the seatbelt over the
wheelchair arms instead of under them.
Interview on 10/04/23 at 1:00 P.M. with Maintenance Director (MD) #260 revealed the facility received the
transport van in April 2023. MD #260 stated the facility recently started to complete the training with all the
staff that drive the van. When securing a resident the van, they should follow the instructions that staff are
trained on. The instructions are also located in the van for reference. They will use four points of restraints to

investigation had been made due to the annual survey being in progress. The Administrator again
confirmed the incident had not been reported as a possible allegation of neglect.
Interview on 10/04/23 at 4:52 P.M. with RN #209 revealed Resident #45 was mostly bed bound since his
admission to the facility. RN #209 stated she had observed him up in a broda wheelchair one time with
therapy since his admission in August 2023. RN #209 confirmed she was working on 10/02/23 when
Resident #45 was transported to an outside appointment. RN #209 confirmed Resident #45 left the facility
in a standard wheelchair. RN #209 confirmed Resident #45 was not assessed for safety to travel in a
wheelchair prior to leaving for his appointment on 10/02/23.
Interview on 10/04/23 at 4:59 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she was not familiar with
any certain criteria that should be met in order for a resident to be safe to be transported by wheelchair. The
DON stated, to me, if a resident can sit in a wheelchair, they are capable of being transported by
wheelchair. The DON confirmed Resident #45 had not been assessed for safety prior to being transported
to an outside appointment by wheelchair.
Interview via telephone on 10/04/23 at 5:21 P.M. with the facility's contracted transportation company
revealed in order for a resident to be able to be transported by wheelchair safely, the resident needed to be
able to stand and pivot or self-transfer, sit upright, and be able to help themselves push back if started
sliding out of the wheelchair. If a resident required maximum assistance, was non-weight bearing, or bed
bound, the resident should be transported by a stretcher.
Review of the facility policy, Abuse, Mistreatment, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation of Resident
Property, reviewed 10/24/22, revealed the policy stated, an alleged violation was a situation or occurrence
that is observed or reported by staff, resident, relative, visitor or others but has not yet been investigated
and, if verified, could be noncompliance with federal requirements related to mistreatment, exploitation,
neglect, or abuse, including injuries of unknown source, and misappropriation of resident property. Neglect
was the failure of the facility, its employees, or facility service providers to provide goods and services to a
resident necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress. Furthermore, all
other allegations involving neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, misappropriation of resident property and
injuries of unknown source will be reported to Ohio Department of Health (ODH) immediately, but in no
event later than 24 hours from the time the incident /allegation was made known to the staff member. The
definition of misappropriation of resident property was defined as the deliberate misplacement, exploitation,
or wrongful temporary or permanent use of a resident's belongings or money without the resident's
consent. The administrator/designee should be notified by informing him/her in person, calling via
telephone, or sending an email or text message. Notification to the state department of health will be made
by using the online enhanced information and dissemination and collection (EIDC) system. Facility will
submit an online SRI form in accordance with the state department of health's then-current instructions.

statements, and no financial statements from Resident #16 to determine if the debit card was even used.
Review of facility Abuse, Mistreatment, Neglect, Exploitation, and Misappropriation of Resident Property
policy, dated 10/24/22, revealed the definition of misappropriation of resident property was defined as the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to perform an accurate discharge assessment.
This affected one (Resident #92) of three resident discharges reviewed. The census was 92.

Resident #92 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses were diverticulitis, type II diabetes, other
chronic pain, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, arthrogryposis multiplex congenital, cognitive communication
deficit, muscle weakness, depression, and vitamin D deficiency.
Review of his minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dated 06/29/23, revealed he was cognitively intact.
Review of Resident #92 MDS assessment section A, dated 08/03/23, revealed the facility documented he
was discharged to a hospital.
Review of Resident #92 progress notes, dated 08/04/23, revealed Resident #92 left the faciity on a leave of
absence. It was documented that he had not returned to the facility in more than 24 hours, so he was
discharged . There was no documentation to support at the time of discharge that Resident #92 had been
admitted to the hospital.
Review of facility Sign Out log, dated 08/03/23, revealed Resident #92 signed out of the facility on 08/03/23
at 9:10. Based on Resident #92 Medication Administration Records (MAR), dated 08/03/23, revealed he
missed his 9:00 A.M. medication administration, so it is accurately assumed that he left the facility at 9:10
A.M.
Interview with Social Worker #400 on 10/03/23 at 2:49 P.M. revealed they were told Resident #92 was
admitted to the hospital after he went LOA. She is not sure when he was admitted to the hospital, or what
time he left the faciity on [DATE].
Interview with Regional Director #603 on 10/04/23 at 1:00 P.M. confirmed documentation in Resident #92
medical record supported he left the faciity on [DATE] at 9:10 A.M.
Interview with MDS Nurse #280 on 10/05/23 at 9:07 A.M. confirmed the date which the MDS assessment
was completed (08/03/23) should be reflective of the date which the resident discharged from the hospital.
She confirmed the medical records for Resident #92 would reflect that he discharged the facility on
08/03/23 against medical advice (AMA). There was no documentation to support he had been admitted to
the hospital; she can't remember where she got the information about him being in the hospital to indicate
on his discharge MDS that he went to the hospital.

catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, review of hospital records, and interview, the facility failed to timely identify and
assess symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI), accurately collect a sample of urine for testing, and
notify the physician of contaminated urine specimens for Resident #24. Additionally, the facility failed to
remove Resident #52's indwelling urinary catheter following the collection of a 24-hour urine.
Actual harm occurred beginning on 07/04/23 when the facility failed to identify symptoms of UTI, treat the
UTI with the appropriate antibiotics, and notify the physician of multiple contaminated urine samples
causing Resident #24 to sustain a significant decline in condition. On 08/04/23 the resident was transferred
to an acute care hospital for confusion and suicide attempt and was found to have a UTI. The resident was
hospitalized for nine days and required intravenous (IV) antibiotics to treat the urinary tract infection.
This affected two residents (#24 and #52) of two residents reviewed for UTI and/or indwelling catheter use.
The facility census was 92.

Review of the resident's progress note dated 07/04/23 revealed the resident's spouse reported the
resident's urine was dark in color. On assessment by the staff nurse the resident's urine was found to be
amber in color with a foul odor. A new physician's order was obtained for a urinalysis/culture & sensitivity
(UA/C&S).
Review of the medical record revealed the resident's urine was collected on 07/05/23 and was sent to the
facility's contracted lab on 07/06/23. The results of the UA/C&S returned on 07/09/23 with the bacteria
Escherichia coli (E-coli) greater than 100,000, Providencia stuartii greater than 100,000 and Pseudomonas

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, staff interview and record review facility failed to ensure pureed foods were made to
the correct texture and with following the recipe. This affected five Resident (#6, #25, #70, #74, and #88)
with orders for pureed food. Facility census was 92.
Findings include
Observation and interview on 10/04/23 at 11:53 A.M. to 12:10 P.M. revealed Dietary staff #292 made puree
food for five residents (Resident #6,#25,#70,#74, and #88). Dietary staff revealed she aimed for a mashed
potato consistency for pureed food. She revealed for the rice she started a ½ cup scoop for each
serving and made six servings with about ½ cup of water. She then added two tablespoon scoops of
thickener. Dietary staff stated she thought this was a good consistency. Surveyor asked to do a taste test for
texture and taste and dietary staff completed taste test and stated oh that tastes like paste. The texture was
gummy and sticky with full grains of rice still present and visible. Dietary staff then added another ½
cup of water to loosen it up. She then blended the mixture and a second taste test was completed. Dietary
staff confirmed rice mixture still had chunks of grains of rice and dietary staff revealed this was probably the
best it would get and revealed she would serve it. The mixture was thick, sticky and had full grains of rice
still present and required chewing. Through surveyor intervention dietary staff was asked to check with
dietician and kitchen manager regarding the texture. Dietician #295 tasted the mixture and revealed it still
had grains of rice and may be okay if gravy were added. Dietary Manager #289 did not taste the mixture but
revealed facility would go ahead and substitute the pureed rice for instant mashed potatoes due to texture.
Next the pork chop was pureed. Dietary staff revealed she was making six servings of three ounces each to
have a little extra. The pork chop was cubed prior to being placed in the roboku blender and five servings of
gravy were added (about 3 oz scoops each) and the mixture was blended. The mixture was tasted and
dietary staff revealed it had chunks of meat present and had a texture of pulled pork/stringy. Two additional
scoops of gravy were added and the mixture was blended again and retasted by dietary staff and surveyor.
She confirmed mixture still had stringy/chunky texture but revealed she was comfortable serving it at this
consistency. Dietary staff placed pork dish in warmer to reheat prior to service.
Interview on 10/05/23 at 3:54 P.M. with Dietary staff #292, Dietary Manager #289 and Corporate Director of
Nutrition Services (CDNS) #604 confirmed pureed consistency should be smooth and free of chunks of
food. Dietary manager was not aware dietary staff was going to serve the rice prior to surveyor intervention,
which dietary staff again confirmed. CDNS confirmed having chunks in pureed food was a choking hazard
and surveyor explained role as surveyor was not to provide step by step instructions to staff when making
pureed food. Dietary manager and dietary staff confirmed facility had recipes and those were not used of
followed during observation.
Review of the white rice puree revealed portion size of a ½ cup of with recipe for 50 serving sizes.
The recipe included 200 ounces of rice and 1 quart of water with instructions to measure the desired
number of servings in the food processor/blender and blend until smooth. Add water one cup at a time to
moisten and add commercial thickener if needed.
Review of pureed recipe for pork chop revealed the pork chop should be processed until fine consistency.
Next, gradually add hot broth and thickener while processing. Staff should scrape sides with a food
process/blender and reprocess. Consistency should be mashed potato consistency. Food should be
