There was no evidence of the facility providing inservice education on pericare when the resident had a
positive urinalysis and culture for Escherichia Coli on 12/06/23.
Residents Affected - Few
The resident consulted with the urologist on 12/13/23. She had her Foley catheter removed by nursing that
morning and presented to the office for a trial void. It was the first time this urologist saw the resident and
said the Foley was placed at an unknown time for an unknown reason. Her residual in the office was 21
milliliters and the urologist deemed the indwelling catheter as not necessary.
Cranberry Oral Tablet 450 milligrams (MG) (Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon)) was added 04/01/24.
The resident saw the urologist 05/14/24 due to her daughter being concerned about her recurrent urinary
tract infections and the altered mental status associated. The physician indicated unknown etiology for
urinary tract infections. The resident was going to have a cystoscopy at the next visit on 06/11/24. The
physician was going to check her previous CT scan, urogram, continue cranberry prophylaxis, and get
urinalysis records, and cultures from the facility.
The 06/11/24 consult was canceled by the urologist and she was in the hospital with sepsis on 07/01/24
when the 06/11/24 missed visit was rescheduled.
There was no evidence of the nursing plan of care being updated due to seven urinary tract infections in
nine months. There was no evidence of the facility providing education on incontinence care, increasing the
frequency of incontinence care, increasing fluid intake or other measures to provide nursing interventions to
reduce the amount of urinary tract infections. There were no revisions to the plan of care since initiated
12/19/23. The resident would test positive for a urinary tract infection and be treated with antibiotics. There
was no increased surveillance demonstrated in an attempt to prevent the infections from reoccurring.
Observation on 07/10/24 at 3:15 P.M. of pericare for Resident #5 revealed the facility used periwash spray
on a disposable wipe to cleanse. State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #132 pulled the sheet and blanket up to
the residents chest before changing her gloves. She was wearing the same gloves she used to clean up a
bowel movement.
Review of an email dated 07/13/24 at 4:20 P.M. from the Administrator included the resident needs to clear
the urinary infection before she can go for the procedures at the urology office. The facility indicated the
initial plan of care had the needed interventions on it. There was no evidence of increased nursing
measures provided due to the recurrent urinary tract infections.

Provide each resident with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his or her daily nutritional
and special dietary needs.
Based on menu review, dislike list, interviews, and photo, the facility failed to ensure a nourishing, palatable
well balanced diet was served. This affected one resident (#6) of three residents reviewed for nourishing
diets.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #6's medical record revealed a 01/16/24 admission with diagnoses including major
depressive disorder, Vitamin D deficiency, muscle weakness, alcoholic polyneuroparthy, iron deficiency
anemia, and anxiety disorder.
Review of the 05/27/24 Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment included the resident was independent
for daily decision making, and walked with supervision.
Interview on 07/10/24 at 9:01 A.M. with Resident #6 revealed on 05/27/24 she received a roll and mashed
potatoes for supper. The resident had a time stamped photo of her meal tray. On 06/25/24 the resident
received plain spaghetti noodles and peaches on her supper tray.
Interview on 07/10/24 at 12:11 P.M. with Culinary Director #115 revealed it is possible to get only a few food
choices or no entree on a meal tray. Culinary Director #115 indicated the computer program they use will
eliminate all dislikes from a tray ticket. If a resident has both entrees on the dislike list they will not get one
on their tray. The [NAME] should know to put something on in from the substitute list but not everyone does
because they may get a complaint they did not want what was sent. Culinary Director #115 revealed they
did not have a policy about how to handle a resident having a lot of dislikes.
Review of the menu for 05/27/24 revealed the first entree country fried steak and second entree pork
chops, both were on Resident #6's dislike list. She also doesn't get the vegetables served so she would
have had mashed potatoes and a roll. She also gets a salad with lunch and supper. On 06/25/24 she would
have received spaghetti noodles and the peaches because she had the first entree shrimp on her dislike list
and the pizza is on her dislike list. She would not have received the zucchini but would have received a
tossed salad.
Interview 07/11/24 at 10:57 A,M, with Dietician #185 revealed he has been contracted by the facility for two
years. The facility uses Mealtracker to enter dislikes and allergies. Mealtracker then produces the diet slips
for each day and meal for the residents based their preference. Dietician #185 did not know did trays were
coming out without an entrée. He said he will work on having a plan in place if both entrees for the
day are dislikes. He said it would be common sense not to send a tray out with just a roll and potatoes.
Review of the facility, Dining and Food Preference policy (revised 09/2017) included the registered
dietitian/nutritionist or other clinically qualified nutrition professional will review and after consultation with
the resident, adjust the individuals meal plan to ensure adequate fluid volume and appropriate nutritional
content for residents that do not consume certain foods or food groups.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00155294.

Based on interview, observation, and invoice review, the facility failed to ensure the facility was
administered in a manner to enable it to use its resources effectively to maintain the highest practicable well
being of each resident when the facility transport van has not been available for resident use for over one
year. This had the potential to affect all the residents in the facility. The resident census was 77.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
During the course of the investigation, the surveyor observed and determined the facility did not have
transportation available to transport a resident to a doctor appointment. It was discovered the facility did not
have a van for transportation or activities.
Interview on 07/10/24 at 9:47 A.M. with the Administrator revealed the facility does not have a company van
to use for transportation. They have not had a functioning van for about a year.
Review of facility provided documentation and invoice revealed the lift in the facility van broke in June 2022.
The van was out of service until 04/20/23 when it was repaired.
Review of an email dated 07/11/24 at 11:42 A.M. from the Administrator verified the van was not in use
from June 2022 until 04/20/23. The van went back into service after the 04/20/23 repair until August 2023.
In August 2023 the van door was rusted, would not close and would not engage in drive. A mechanic came
to the facility 08/31/23 and reported he could not order parts. There was no further evidence of action until
02/21/24 when a used car place was contacted. They assessed the van on 02/24/24 and informed the
facility they would attempt to order parts. The Administrator contacted the used car dealership who reported
they expect the parts to be in this month. He thinks they are the correct parts. The van is currently out of
service. The van was in service for four of the last 25 months.
There was no evidence of the facility attempting to purchase another vehicle. There was no evidence of the
facility attempting to share a sister facility van except for two isolated times they borrowed the van from a
sister facility to transport a resident.
Interview on 07/10/24 at 6:50 P.M. with the Administrator revealed it takes a long time to get parts. The
Administrator said there could be a year or two wait to get another van. She verified measures had not
been put in place to routinely share a van with the closest sister facility so the residents could go on outings
or appointments.
