Let each resident or the resident's legal representative access or purchase copies of all the resident's
records.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, facility record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to
provide the opportunity to view or receive resident medical records in a timely manner. This affected one
(Resident #65) of one resident reviewed for medical record release. The census was 88.
Findings Include:
Resident #65 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses were end stage renal disease,
emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, alcoholic
cirrhosis of liver without ascites, anemia, gout, type II diabetes. other psychoactive substance abuse,
cognitive communication deficit, lack of coordination, dysphagia, congestive heart failure, atherosclerotic
heart disease, pure hypercholesterolemia, low back pain, neuropathy, major depressive disorder,
hyperlipidemia, adult failure to thrive, esophagitis, anxiety disorder, and allergic rhinitis.
Review of facility Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 09/05/24, revealed he was cognitively
intact.
Review of facility Authorization for Release of Health Information form revealed Resident #65 signed the
front page of the form on 09/20/24 to release specific medical records. Then, there was a second page of
the form that stated he wanted the records released to himself. He signed that page of the document on
09/25/24. There was no evidence the facility started the process of collecting medical records to give to the
resident or provide the option for the resident to review his documents online, when the initial request was
made on 09/20/24.
Review of facility Invoice for Resident Records, dated 09/27/24, revealed an invoice was given to Resident
#65 on 09/27/24 for $321.00, based on the rate set forth for copies of medical records.
Interview with Administrator on 12/05/24 at 1:50 P.M. confirmed the opportunity of allowing Resident #65 or
his representatives to see his medical records was never discussed as an option. Also, he confirmed the
initial request for the medical records was made on 09/20/24, but the invoice for the medical records was
not given to Resident #65 until 09/27/24, which was seven days after the initial request.
Review of facility Release of Medical Records policy, dated 06/01/24, revealed upon request to access or
obtain copies of the medical record, the facility should review the authorization to ascertain access rights of
that person. A valid request for medical information concerning a resident, by a party other than the
resident, includes the name of the resident, name and address of the facility, name and address of
individuals or organizations requesting information, specific information and reports requested, period of
stay for which information is to be released, date of the request, and signature of the resident or legally
appointed representative authorizing release of information. Upon receipt of a request for medical record
copies, the facility should notify the requesting party, in writing, of the cost for obtaining records and that
records are available two days after receipt of payment for the copies.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00159181.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to notify the physician after a significant
weight change occurred for Resident #66. This affected one (Resident #66) of five residents reviewed for
nutrition. The facility census was 88.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #66 revealed an admission date of 03/16/23 with diagnoses
including type 2 diabetes, metabolic encephalopathy, and unspecified dementia.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] indicated the resident was rarely/never understood,
and Section K triggered weight loss concerns without a prescribed weight-loss regimen. A brief interview
for mental status (BIMS) assessment revealed a score of 8 out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive
impairment.
Review of Resident #66's care plan included maintaining adequate nutritional status and addressing weight
changes, with interventions including fortified foods twice daily and boost glucose control supplementation.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #66 revealed orders for weekly weights on Tuesdays, one time
a day, starting 05/14/24, with a discontinue date of 06/06/24.
Review of the weight history for Resident #66 revealed a weight of 174.0 pounds (lbs) on 12/26/23 and a
weight of 153.4 lbs on 06/03/24, for a weight loss of 11.84% in 180 days. Additionally, Resident #66 had a
weight of 153.4 lbs on 06/03/24 and a weight of 143.6 lbs on 09/04/24, with a weight loss of 6.39% in 90

Review of the dietary progress notes revealed that on 12/22/23, the physician was notified of a significant
weight loss with a recommendation for weekly weights. There was no evidence that any further physician
notifications were made regarding the additional weight losses.
Interview on 12/05/24 at 10:19 with Dietician #168 revealed that if there is an indication of weight loss, she
will request a re-weight, and if the weight is verified as a loss, she will notify the physician of the weight
change. Dietician #168 stated she does not report weight loss every time; if there is a continuous trend of
weight loss, she will only notify the physician of the initial weight loss. Dietician #168 also stated that if there
are any changes, she will send a weight log to the nurse practitioner. Dietician #168 reported she would
send over the weight log if she had any, but did not send any information.
Review of the notification of changes policy revealed the facility must contact the resident's physician
regarding any significant changes.

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, resident interview, and policy review, the facility failed to complete a timely
and thorough grievance investigation and resolution for resident #9's grievances. This affected one
(Resident #9) of two residents reviewed for grievance handling. The facility census was 88.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #9 revealed an admission date of 02/15/23 and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including chronic systolic heart failure, morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation,
asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dependence on respirator/ventilator status, obstructive
sleep apnea, essential hypertension, chronic venous insufficiency, unspecified depression, anxiety disorder,
gastro-esophageal reflux disease, anemia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, generalized muscle weakness, and
stenosis of a coronary artery stent.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed a brief interview for mental status (BIMS)
score of 15 out of 15 indicating no cognitive impairment. Resident #9 had impaired mobility and required
moderate assistance with showers but was independent with all other activities of daily living.
Review of the care plan for Resident #9 revealed a focus on managing chronic conditions, including
respiratory support, pain management, and addressing anxiety. There was no documented care plan
addressing missing personal items or grievances.
Review of the grievance logs for Resident #9 from September 2024 to December 2024 revealed three
incidents on 09/24/24 with no investigation conducted for the missing items and no signature present on the
investigation form. Additionally, on 09/26/24 there is another missing item on the log, but Social Worker
#112 could not find the investigation report for this item and could not recall what the item missing was. On
11/21/24 there was an occurrence of a cracked phone with an investigation started via housekeeping.
Social Worker #112 and the administrator reported via the investigation the phone was not on the initial
items log, so the phone was not replaced or repaired with no signatures on the investigation report. On
11/26/24 there were three additional items on the log. The investigation logs had no completed
investigations for all three items and the investigation logs were not signed.
Interview on 12/04/24 at 3:38 P.M. with Social Worker #112 reported once an incident occurs the staff will
complete a grievance log. She stated depending on the situation she will delegate the investigation to the
appropriate department and once the investigation is complete the concern report logs are filled out,
signed, and placed in the log.
Interview on 12/04/24 at 4:09 P.M. with Social Worker #112 confirmed that the investigations for Resident
#9 were not completed. Social Worker #112 and the Administrator stated they were going to make copies of
all grievance logs and concern reports.
Interview on 12/04/24 at 4:40 P.M. the Administrator reported that he misplaced all the copies of the
concern logs and could not find the originals so he could not provide me a copy of the logs.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure appropriate enteral
feeding services were provided Resident #189. This affected one (Resident #189) of one resident reviewed
for tube feeding services. The facility census was 88.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #189 revealed an admission date of 11/18/24 with diagnoses
including unspecified fracture of the fourth lumbar vertebra, Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia,
severe protein-calorie malnutrition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dysphagia, and other
complex conditions.
Review of Resident #189's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment indicated severe cognitive
impairment and the need for maximum assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), including dressing,
toileting, and mobility.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #189 revealed orders to clean the peg tube site with normal
saline and apply split gauze daily starting 11/19/24. Additionally, Enteral feeding was ordered once daily via
PEG tube, with a specified rate of 50 milliliters (ml) an hour of Glucerna 1.5 for a total of 1000 ml a day, via
Kangaroo pump, starting 11/19/24 at 2:00 PM. Additionally, flushes were ordered at 50 ml an hour for 20
hours daily to provide a total of 1000 ml of free water per day. Tube placement was to be checked every
shift using a 10 cc air bolus before medication administration, feedings, and flushes. The feeding should be
delivered via a Kangaroo pump, with the order specifying that the feeding bag should be replaced daily at
6:00 P.M.
Observation on 12/05/24 at 9:38 A.M. revealed the Glucerna bag was not replaced until 12/05/24 at 1:00
A.M.
Interview on 12/05/24 at 9:43 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #128 confirmed the Glucerna bag
was not replaced until 12/05/24 at 1:00 A.M. and should have been replaced on 12/04/24 at 6:00 P.M. to
start Resident #189's enteral feeding services. This resulted in Resident #189 going for 7 hours (from 6:00
P.M. on 12/04/24 to 1:00 A.M. on 12/05/24) without any nutrition.
Interview on 12/05/24 at 9:57 A.M. with LPN#128 verified she did not have a proper hand off from night shift
nursing and there were no notes in the chart for Resident #70 justifying why the Glucerna bag was not
replaced until 12/05/24 at 1:00 A.M. LPN #128 confirmed Resident #189 will typically go from 2:00 P.M. to
6:00 P.M. without the feeding services and new feed will start at 6:00 P.M.
Review of the Care and Treatment of Feeding Tubes policy revealed feeding tubes will be utilized according

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to properly monitor residents psychotropic
medications to ensure the need/appropriate dose of psychotropic medications. This affected one (Resident
#7) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The census was 88.
Findings include:
Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses were schizoaffective disorder, asthma,
type II diabetes, anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, hypertension, dementia, lack of coordination,
schizoaffective disorder, shortness of breath, osteoporosis, aphasia, dysphagia, hypertensive heart
disease, moderate intellectual disabilities, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, and diffuse traumatic brain injury.
Review of her minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dated 10/02/24, revealed she had a severe cognitive
impairment.
Review of Resident #7 physician orders found she was prescribed the following psychotropic medications:
Olanzapine 15 milligrams (mg), Depakote 250 mg twice daily, Fluphenazine five mg twice daily, and
Fluphenazine Decanoate Solution intramuscularly 25 mg every 21 days for schizoaffective disorder, and
venlafaxine 75 mg for depression.
Review of Resident #7 pharmacy recommendations, dated November 2023 to November 2024, revealed
one pharmacy recommendation for a gradual dose reduction (GDR) for Fluphenazine in January 2024. The
physician reviewed it and determined a GDR would not be beneficial to her mental health to reduce the
dosage. Other than this recommendation, no other psychotropic medication had a recommendation for a
GDR as required.
Interview with Regional Nurse #250 on 12/05/24 at 9:20 A.M. and 9:45 A.M. stated the pharmacy will
review each resident's psychiatric notes (including Resident #7) and then determine if they will complete
any type of recommendation for irregularity, including GDR. She confirmed the pharmacy did not complete
a GDR recommendation for Resident #7 psychotropic medications in the last 12 months, other than
Fluphenazine.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure adequate monitoring was completed for a
medication as ordered for Resident #9. This affected one (Resident #9) of six residents reviewed for
unnecessary medications. The facility census was 88.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #9 revealed an admission date of 2/15/23 and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including chronic systolic heart failure, morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation,
asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dependence on respirator/ventilator status, obstructive
sleep apnea, essential hypertension, chronic venous insufficiency, unspecified depression, anxiety disorder,
gastro-esophageal reflux disease, anemia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, generalized muscle weakness, and
stenosis of a coronary artery stent.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status
(BIMS) score of 15 out of 15 indicating no cognitive impairment. Resident #9 had impaired mobility and
required moderate assistance with showers but was independent with all other activities of daily living.
Review of the care plan for Resident #9 revealed a focus on managing chronic conditions, including
respiratory support, pain management, and addressing anxiety.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #9 revealed orders for Entresto were initiated on 10/08/24 with
a dosage of 24-26 milligrams (mg) twice daily for hypertension. The orders specified that Entresto should
be held if the resident's systolic blood pressure (SBP) was below 110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or if
the heart rate (HR) was below 60 beats per minute (bpm).
Review of the Medication Administration Records (MAR) confirmed that Entresto was administered outside
the prescribed parameters on multiple occasions: 11/12/24: 106/81 (12:44 A.M.) and 129/81 (10:00 A.M.),
both outside the specified SBP parameter. On 11/10/24: 109/73 (8:34 A.M.) and 8:35 A.M. On 10/31/24:
106/79 at 9:30 A.M. On 10/28/24: 109/70 at 8:37 P.M. On 10/15/24: 109/77 at 9:31 A.M. and 9:32 A.M.
These values indicate that Entresto was administered even when the resident's blood pressure was below
the ordered threshold of 110 mmHg.
Interview on 12/04/24 at 2:33 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed that the facility's practice
was to administer Entresto if the readings were only one digit outside of the parameters, stating it was a
known rule for nursing discretion. The DON confirmed that the Entresto was administered outside the
prescribed parameters and acknowledged the need to verify the facility's practices with the physician. The
DON could find no documented evidence related to the nursing discretion rule. The DON could also find no
evidence of the staff notifying the physician prior to administering the medication while outside of the
ordered parameters.
Additionally, the rule regarding nursing discretion was confirmed in a written statement from the physician
on 12/05/24, but this was the first documented evidence of such a rule. No prior written documentation or
confirmation of the nurse discretion practice could be found in the resident's medical record or facility
policies.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the medical record for Resident #43 revealed an initial admission date on 10/04/24 and a readmission date
on 10/14/24. Medical diagnoses included anxiety disorder, transient cerebral ischemic attack, other
nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, opioid abuse, and hemiplegia affecting left
nondominant side.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #43
had intact cognition and scored 15 out of 15 on the Brief Interview Mental Status (BIMS) assessment.
Resident #43 required varied assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) ranging from independence
to substantial assistance from staff.
Review of the infection control log revealed Resident #43 was admitted from the hospital on [DATE] with a
urinary tract infection (UTI). There was no organism listed. The urinalysis with sensitivity was listed as
unable to obtain (uto). Resident #43 did not meet McGreer's criteria for an infection. Resident #43 received
Amoxicillin from 11/12/24 to 11/17/24 (five days).
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated November 2024 revealed Resident #43 had
a physician order for Amoxicillin-Potassium Clavulanate (an antibiotic) 875-125 milligrams (mg) with
instructions to take one tablet two times daily for a UTI for five days. The order was dated 11/12/24.
Resident #43 received one dose on 11/12/24, two doses on 11/13/24, 11/14/24, 11/15/24, and 11/26/24,
and one dose on 11/17/24. The resident received a total of ten doses of the antibiotic.
Review of the progress notes revealed there was no evidence Resident #43 was evaluated by a physician
or Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) after returning from the hospital to ensure the antibiotic order was
appropriate. There was no evidence of Resident #43's lab results in the resident's medical record to verify
the resident had a UTI.
Interview on 12/05/24 at 2:01 P.M. with Regional Nurse (RGN) #250 confirmed Resident #43 returned from
the hospital with an ordered antibiotic for a UTI. The facility was not able to obtain labs from the hospital to
verify an organism or the positive UTI results. RGN #250 confirmed Resident #43 did not meet McGreer's
criteria for a UTI and the resident was not seen by a physician or CNP to verify the appropriateness of the
antibiotic order.
Review of the facility policy, Antibiotic Stewardship, undated, revealed the policy stated, Providers will utilize
the McGreer's Criteria when considering initiation of antibiotics. When infection is suspected review with
physician the criteria that was met for use of antibiotic. At 72 hours after antibiotic initiation or first dose in
the facility, each resident will be reassessed for consideration of antibiotic need, duration, selection, and
de-escalation potential. Completion of an antibiotic time-out must be recorded in the resident record.
Based on record review,staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to follow their antibiotic
stewardship processes for Residents #81 and #43. This affected two (Resident's #81 and #43) out of three
residents reviewed for antibiotic use. The facility census was 88.
Findings include:

diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, type II diabetes, obesity, dependence on
respirator, lack of coordination, obstructive sleep apnea, bladder-neck obstruction, obstructive and reflux
uropathy, difficulty walking, edema, combined systolic heart failure, spinal stenosis, and several other
chronic conditions.
Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score of 14 out of 15 (Additionally, a BIMS assessment on 12/02/24 with a score of 15),
indicating no cognitive impairment. Resident #9 was dependent on a wheelchair and required assistance
with toileting, bathing, and personal hygiene. The resident had an indwelling catheter and was frequently
incontinent with bowel movements.
Review of the progress notes for Resident #81 revealed on 10/26/24 at 6:31 P.M. lab results indicated a
urinary tract infection (UTI), and Bactrim was prescribed on 10/27/24.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #81 revealed an order for Bactrim Tablet 800-160 milligram's
(MG) (Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim) give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for UTI for seven days with a
start date of 10/27/24 and an end date of 11/03/2024.
Review of the Medication Administration Records (MAR) confirmed Bactrim was prescribed from 10/27/24
to 11/03/24.
Review of the urine analysis labs revealed the organism present was proteus mirabilis with a growth of
>100,000 Colony-Forming Units per Milliliter (CFU/mL). Under the antibiotic sensitivity section it indicated
bacterial resistance to Bactrim (denoted as R [>2/38], confirming resistance per minimum inhibitory
concentration standards).
Interview on 12/05/24 at 2:45 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that Bactrim was
prescribed despite the culture showing resistance. The DON stated that they had no justification for the
antibiotic order and confirmed that there was no documentation explaining the reason for the choice of
Bactrim.
Review of the Antibiotic Stewardship Policy revealed that Antibiotics must be selected based on culture and
susceptibility data whenever available to ensure effectiveness against the identified pathogen. Clinical staff
must document the rationale for the selection of an antibiotic, particularly when culture data indicates
resistance to the prescribed medication. Timely review of laboratory results, including culture and sensitivity
reports, is required to guide adjustments in treatment. Inappropriate antibiotic use, such as prescribing
resistant antibiotics, must be avoided to minimize the risk of treatment failure and antimicrobial resistance.
