Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, review of shower schedules, and interview, the facility failed to ensure bathing
preferences were honored. This affected one (Resident #178) of 14 residents interviewed related to
choices.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #178's medical record revealed diagnoses including left hip fracture, depression, and
type two diabetes mellitus. An assessment for Preference for Everyday Living (PELI) dated 10/07/24
revealed it was somewhat important for Resident #178 to choose between a tub bath, shower, bed bath or
sponge bath. Resident #178 preferred a tub bath with no preference for bathing time.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #178 was able to
make herself understood and was able to understand others. Resident #178 was assessed as cognitively
intact.
Review of an Interdisciplinary team (IDT) note dated 10/18/24 revealed Resident #178 required
substantial/maximal assistance with bathing.
Review of shower schedules revealed Resident #178 was scheduled to receive showers on day shift on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Review of bathing records revealed Resident #178 received a shower on 10/14/24. There was no evidence
of bathing being offered 10/21/24 or 10/25/24. Documentation only revealed bathing activities were offered
one day between 10/20/24 and 10/26/24.
On 10/21/24 at 3:14 P.M., Resident #178 indicated she preferred to receive bed baths but staff had
provided showers instead. Resident #178 stated she was not bathed with the frequency requested and she
had been bathed about twice a week.
On 10/28/24 at 11:45 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) verified she was unable to locate evidence of
bathing being offered to Resident #178 on 10/21/25 or 10/25/25 and that documentation revealed Resident
#178 did receive one shower.
On 10/28/24 at 7:37 A.M., the DON verified residents had the right to choose the type of bath they
received. The DON verified Resident #178 preferred bed baths.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure advanced directives were
accurate. This affected one (#59) of 24 residents reviewed for advanced directives. The census was 75.
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #59 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral
infarction. Review of the medical record revealed no Advanced Directive form for review.
Review of the Baseline Care Plan (dated [DATE]) revealed Resident #59 was a Full Code (a medical
directive that indicates that a resident should receive all possible medical care to save their life in the event
of a medical emergency).
Review of Nurse Practitioner #901's History and Physical (dated [DATE]) revealed Resident #59 was a Full
Code.
Review of the electronic medical record, including the Physician Orders as of [DATE], indicated Resident
#59 was a DNR-CCA (Do-Not-Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest which is a medical abbreviation that allows
residents to receive aggressive interventions to extend their life until they experience cardiac or respiratory
arrest. After the cardiac or respiratory arrest, the resident will only receive comfort care).
On [DATE] at 12:39 P.M., interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #541 stated Resident #59
was a full code and had been out to the hospital many times. ADON #541 stated there should be a signed
code status in the chart and staff were to go to the hard chart to verify code status prior to initiation of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but the code status was also in the electronic physician orders.
ADON #541 verified Resident #59's physician orders indicated Resident #59 was a DNR-CCA but the
medical record did not contain an advanced directive form indicating the resident was a DNR-CCA status.
On [DATE] at 3:23 P.M., interview with ADON #541 stated Resident #59's family did request to change the
resident's code status on [DATE] to a DNR-CCA; however, the Ohio Advanced Directive paperwork had not
yet been signed by the physician or family. ADON #541 verified until the physician signed DNR paperwork
was in the resident's chart, the resident's code status would be a Full Code.
Review of the PT (Physical Therapy) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment (dated [DATE]) revealed Resident
#59 code status was a Full Code.
As of [DATE], review of the medical record revealed no documented evidence of a signed Ohio Advanced
Directive.
Review of the policy: Advanced Directive Guidance (revised [DATE]) revealed all residents without
advanced directives will be treated as Full Codes. If the resident wants to decide their advanced directives
after speaking to the nurse, physician, or advanced nurse practitioner, a nurse or social service will initiate
an Ohio Advanced Directive form with the resident signature. If the resident is unable to sign, the appointed
resident representative may sign. The Ohio Advanced Directive form

dated 09/30/24 at 11:49 A.M. indicated Resident #35 was seen by a nurse practitioner related to cough and
chest discomfort. New orders were obtained for a chest x-ray and cardiology consult. An interdisciplinary
team note dated 10/03/24 at 1:50 P.M. indicated Resident #35 was reviewed and had a cardiology
appointment pending. On 10/10/24, a weight of 256.2 pounds was recorded. There was no further record of
a cardiology appointment being made.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of a dietary note dated 10/10/24 at 11:33 A.M. revealed Resident #35 was having an annual review
completed. The note revealed the dietitian reviewed Resident #35 based on the weight obtained 09/04/24.
The monthly weight was pending. No recommendations were made.
On 10/22/24 at 1:21 P.M., the Administrator verified staff had not identified the significant weight gain until it
was addressed by the survey team. The Administrator stated Resident #35 had been re-weighed to
determine the accuracy of the 10/10/24 weight and it was determined to be accurate. The physician was
notified on 10/22/24. The weight gain was believed to be related to increased caloric intake.
A weight recorded on 10/22/24 was 262.3 pounds.
On 10/24/24 at 8:53 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #583 stated there was nothing on the resident
calendar for a cardiologist appointment for Resident #35.
On 10/24/24 at 8:54 A.M., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #544. the staff responsible to schedule
appointments and provide transportation, stated since Resident #35 had the cardiology referral on 09/30/24
she had made a couple referrals but was waiting on a response. CNA #544 stated she had contacted one
of the cardiologist's office again the week of 10/13/24 to 10/19/24 and was was told to re-fax Resident #35's
information but she had not received a response. On 10/24/24 at 9:30 A.M., CNA #544 provided the name
of two cardiologists she had contacted but had no documentation of when the attempts had been made.
CNA #544 indicated she attempted to contact a different cardiologist after the discussion with the surveyor
at 8:54 A.M. and was informed if she faxed the paper work for review, Resident #35 could potentially have
an appointment the following week. The faxed information was provided.
On 10/24/24 at 10:07 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #714 reported there should have been documentation
to indicate what attempts were made to schedule a cardiology appointment. CNA #544 was new to the
position and there was no documentation regarding what attempts were made and when.
On 10/24/24 at 10:45 A.M., Registered Dietetic Technician (DTR) #901 reported he completed Resident
#35's annual review on 10/10/24 but monthly weights had not been completed. The electronic health record
did not send him an alert when the weight of 256.2 pounds was recorded. Without the alert, he was
unaware of the significant weight gain. Without the system alerting him, it could have potentially been three
months before another review. DTR #901 was unable to state if anybody but him reviewed weights to review
for significant changes.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Medical
record review revealed Resident #59 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral vascular
accident, altered mental status, vascular dementia, muscle wasting and atrophy.
Review of the hospital Discharge Summary (dated 06/27/24) revealed a physical exam of Resident #59
revealed encephalopathic, left-sided hemiplegia and contractures.
Review of the Physical Therapy (PT) Discharge Summary (dated 06/28/24 to 07/11/24) revealed Resident
#59 was dependent for all care, did not ambulate and no discharge recommendations were made.
Review of the Occupational Therapy (OT) Discharge Summary (dated 06/28/24 to 07/10/24) revealed
contracture recommendations included a hand roll to his left hand. OT did not recommend range of motion
or restorative nursing services.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment (dated 08/30/24) revealed Resident #59 was
severely impaired for daily decision-making with no functional impairments of the lower extremity (hip, knee,
ankle, foot). Functional impairments were noted to one side of the upper extremities.
Review of the record revealed no evidence ROM was provided to the upper or lower extremities, or a hand
roll was applied to the resident's left hand prior to 10/23/24.
On 10/23/24 at 9:01 A.M., interview with CNA #565 revealed Resident #59 did not receive any ROM, splints
or hand rolls. CNA #565 stated she did not know of any residents who were receiving restorative programs.
On 10/23/24 at 9:45 A.M., observation revealed Resident #59 was positioned in a reclined geri-chair
wearing gripper socks and left foot drop was observed. The resident's left hand was in a clinched position

the hand roll and just assumed it would be continued. DOR #549 stated after the earlier discussion with the
surveyor, she screened the resident and he does have new onset of left foot drop. She was having a PT
evaluation completed tomorrow to get an intervention, as well as, implement a program for the hand roll.
DOR #549 stated Resident #549 did have a two degree very minimal contracture of the right lower
extremity now and will recommend a restorative program to try to prevent further decline.
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/24/24 at 7:45 A.M., observation revealed Resident #59 was positioned in a geri-chair wearing
gripper socks in the lobby of the South hall. The resident's left hand was clinched without a splint or hand
roll, and left foot drop was observed.
Review of the OT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment (dated 10/25/24) revealed left upper extremity
contracture management with no significant change noted. Recommendations included to continue the
hand roll on left hand four hours on and four hours off, in order to allow for ROM of hand, adequate hygiene
and develop/establish wearing schedule. The resident was unable to tolerate ROM/gentle stretch to elbow
or wrist without exhibiting pain related behavior. Resident was able to tolerate gentle stretch to digits to
apply hand roll with good tolerance noted.
Based on medical record review, observation, and interviews the facility failed to implement interventions to
prevent foot drop/contractures/limited range of motion. This affected two (Resident #30 and #59) of two
residents reviewed for mobility/positioning.
Findings included:
1. Medical record review revealed Resident #30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including palliative care, encephalopathy, sequelae of cerebral infarction, hemiplegia and hemiparesis,
aphasia, and depression. There was no evidence the resident's diagnoses list included contractures.
Review of Resident #30's Physical Therapy (PT) notes dated 01/22/24 revealed the resident had functional
limitation of the knee, hip, and ankle on the right lower extremity due to contractures.
Review of Resident #30's Occupation Therapy (OT) notes dated 01/20/24 to 01/26/24 revealed gentle
passive range of motion (PROM) and stretching was completed to bilateral upper extremities to increase
ROM and to decrease the risk for further contractors. A small foam roll/washcloth was placed in resident's
hand to increase positioning and to decrease skin breakdown. The OT discharge recommendations
included to position in geri chair (a special wheeled chair that can be reclined for comfort) and foam roll to
right hand.
Review of Resident #30's range of motion (ROM) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had full
loss of voluntary movement of the legs including hip and knee, foot including ankle and toes, neck, arms
including shoulder and elbow, and hand including wrist and fingers on one side of the body.
Review of Resident #30's current plan of care revealed the resident was at risk for decline in current status
for range of motion and contracture development, however, did not indicate the resident had range of
motion impairment or contractures or location of impairments. In addition, there was no evidence the
resident was receiving a range of motion program or splint/device (foam roll) to prevent further decline to
the right hand or right lower extremities.

Review of Resident #30's Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident had
limited range of motion to one side of the upper extremities and impairment on both sides of the lower
extremities.
Observation on 10/21/24 at 10:18 A.M., 10/22/24 at 11:11 A.M., and 10/24/24 at 8:15 A.M. of Resident #30
revealed the resident's right hand was contracted and there was no evidence an intervention was in place.
The resident was in a geri chair during all three observations.
Review of Resident #30's tasks dated 09/24/24 to 10/24/24 revealed the resident was to receive floor
maintenance for passive range of motion (PROM) to the right upper extremity during dressing and personal
care/bathing. Further review revealed no evidence PROM was provided on 09/24/24, 09/26/24, 09/28/24,
09/29/24, 10/05/24, 10/06/24, 10/17/24, 10/19/24, 10/20/24.
Further review of Resident #30's tasks revealed no evidence an intervention was implemented to address
the resident limited ROM to the lower extremity.
Interview on 10/24/24 at 8:21 A.M., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #554 confirmed Resident #30
had limited range of motion to the right hand, however she was not aware the resident had any splints/hand
guards/etc.
Interview on 10/24/24 at 8:21 A.M., with hospice CNA #718 confirmed Resident #30 had a right-hand
contracture/limited range of motion and she had observed a hand splint in the resident's room, however she
had never seen the splint on the resident.
Interview on 10/24/24 at 11:24 A.M. and 12:07 P.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #714 revealed the nurse
re-assessed Resident #30's lower extremity range of motion (ROM) and there was only impairment on the
right lower extremity. The resident has contractures in the right knee and foot, and limited range of motion in
the right hip. The left lower extremity had no limited range of motion. RN #714 reported she will have MDS
staff correct the MDS dated [DATE] to reflect limited range of motion to one side of the lower extremities not
both sides. RN #714 also confirmed the staff found a hand roll in the resident's room. The RN had showed
the surveyor the hand roll. The hand roll had the residents last name on the label. The resident was
receiving hospice services, however she was going to have therapy screen the resident due to, at that time,
staff could not get the hand roll in the resident's right hand due to the contracture and she may need some
other type of device, however later RN #714 (12:07 P.M.) reported staff were able to get the resident hand
open far enough to place the hand roll in her hand. RN #714 reported she was also going to ask therapy to
screen the resident's lower right extremity limited range of motion. The RN confirmed there was no program
in place for the resident's lower extremity limited range of motion/contractures and there were several days
the resident didn't receive PROM to the right hand per the task documentation in the last 30 days.
Interview on 10/24/24 11:41 A.M. with Therapy Director (TD) #549 confirmed therapy had recommended a
foam roll to Resident #30's right hand for positioning for the contracture and to prevent skin breakdown on
01/22/24.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to provide care and services to restore
bladder function and treat urinary tract infections (UTI) timely. This affected four (#3, #11, #44 and #52) of
four residents reviewed for UTI's, and one (#57) resident reviewed for an indwelling urinary catheter. The
census was 75.
Findings include:
1. Medical record review revealed Resident #3 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral
infarction and a history of urinary tract infections.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #3 was
moderately impaired for daily decision-making and had no urinary infections within the last 30 days.
Review of the progress note (dated 03/02/24 at 1:03 P.M.) revealed Resident #3 complained of burning with
urination and a foul smelling odor (with urination). Nurse Practitioner (NP) #901 ordered a urinalysis and
culture to be obtained on 03/04/24. No progress notes were documented on 03/03/24. On 03/04/24, NP
#901 documented the resident had also developed suprapubic tenderness and the plan was to obtain a
urinalysis/culture and encourage clear fluids. No progress notes were documented on 03/05/24. On
03/06/24, NP #901 documented Resident #3 was incontinent, had dysuria (painful urination), urinary
frequency, and suprapubic tenderness. The urine culture result was received indicating an infection with
Escherichia Coli (e-coli) and Resident #3 was started on Macrobid (antibiotic).
Review of the Urinalysis/Culture Urine Report revealed Resident #3's urine was collected on 03/04/24 at
12:00 A.M., and the urine specimen was received at the laboratory on 03/04/24 at 12:24 P.M. The urine
culture result was reported on 03/06/24 at 2:54 P.M
On 10/28/24 at 10:37 A.M., interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #541 verified Resident #3
developed urinary symptoms on 03/02/24 (Saturday) and the urinalysis/culture was ordered not to be
obtained until 03/04/24. ADON #541 stated labs can be sent out for analysis any day of the week and
resident concerns over the weekend are addressed with NP #901 on Monday mornings. ADON #541 stated
NP #901 saw the resident on 03/04/24 and treatment was initiated once the urine culture result was
received. The ADON was unable to provide any additional information to support why the urinalysis was
ordered to be obtained on a Monday and not the weekend resulting in delay in treatment for a symptomatic
UTI.
2. Medical record review revealed Resident #11 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
non-traumatic brain dysfunction and pneumonia.
Review of the care plan: Bladder incontinence related to impaired mobility and overactive bladder (dated
05/06/24) revealed interventions including to monitor/document signs and symptoms of UTI , altered mental
status, changes in behavior, and notify physician if foul odor or cloudy urine was observed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Resident #44 was incontinent of bowel on 10/07/24 and 10/21/24, and was incontinent of bladder on
10/21/24 and 10/24/24.
Review of the record revealed no evidence interventions were implemented to restore bladder and bowel
function after incontinence episodes on 10/07/24, 10/21/24 and 10/24/24.
Residents Affected - Some
On 10/22/24 at 8:18 A.M., interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #536 revealed Resident #44 did
have episodes of incontinence, she did not know what type of incontinence the resident had and was
unaware of any interventions currently in place to restore bladder function. LPN #536 stated the aides
check everyone for incontinence and she would have to ask her supervisor who was responsible for
completing those types of assessments, as she primarily administers medications.
Observations of Resident #44 on 10/22/24 at 10:52 A.M., on 10/24/24 at 7:52 A.M., and on 10/28/24 at
7:30 A.M. revealed no signs of incontinence.
On 10/28/24 at 8:50 A.M., interview with Assistant Director of Nursing #541 verified there was no
assessment to identify the type of bladder incontinence or interventions implemented to restore continence
for Resident #44.
On 10/28/24 at 10:15 A.M., interview with Registered Nurse #900 stated currently there were no toileting
programs in the facility. When a decline was noted, an assessment would be completed and staff were
expected to prompt the resident frequently; however, there was nothing documented regarding this. RN
#900 stated she had not been informed about Resident #44's incontinence and she works primarily offsite
which makes it difficult at times to be aware of everything going on. RN #900 verified a new bowel and
bladder (B&B) assessment should have been completed since there was a change in continence status to
try to determine why the resident was incontinent and what interventions could be implemented to restore
function.
On 10/29/24 at 9:32 A.M., interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #565 and CNA #650 revealed
the facility does not have restorative programs for toileting, all residents are checked every two hours for
incontinence and incontinence care provided. CNA #565 and #650 stated there were a lot of dependent
residents on the South Hall and it sometimes gets very busy but everyone does get checked.
Review of the policy: Bowel and Bladder (B&B) Management (dated 2018) revealed the intent was to help
the resident maintain or improve B&B incontinence for their quality of life. Actions included to complete a
B&B assessment upon admission, readmission, significant change and on a quarterly basis. Appropriate
interventions shall be put in place when appropriate and may include: assistive devices will be utilized as
appropriate, encourage to utilize or assist the resident to the bathroom at strategic periods of the day for
that resident i.e. of need if resident is frequently incontinent of B&B and does not have the cognitive ability
to follow directions, nursing will anticipate the need to void and assist the resident to bathroom more
frequently. Therapy screen for bladder exercises and e-stimulation and incontinence care will be provided
during repositioning.
4. Medical record review revealed Resident #52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis
including indwelling urinary catheter, metabolic encephalopathy, urinary tract infection, Parkinson's,
cognitive communication deficit, obstructive and reflux uropathy, malignant neoplasm of prostate, dementia,
major depression, anxiety, constipation, and benign prostatic hyperplasia without lower urinary tract
symptoms.

record review revealed Resident #229 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes, sleep
apnea, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation and hypothyroidism.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the Baseline Care Plan v3-V1 dated 10/11/24 revealed goals to maintain safe new surroundings
and provide necessary support in achieving ancillary needs.
Review of the electronic Physician Orders (October 2024) included CPAP (continuous positive airway
pressure that treats sleep-related breathing disorders) via nose mask bleed in two liters of oxygen at
bedtime for sleep apnea.
Review of the Treatment Administration Record dated October 2024 revealed CPAP via nose mask was
documented completed 10/11/24 through 10/23/24 except no documentation indicating it was completed on
10/21/24.
On 10/21/24 at 10:05 A.M., observation revealed Resident #229's CPAP mask was observed on the floor
under the resident's bed near the wall with the face piece pressed against the floor. At the time of the
observation, Resident #229 stated she cared for the CPAP equipment and uses it daily.
On 10/21/24 at 10:45 A.M., observation of Resident #229's room revealed the CPAP mask was still on the
floor. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #510 was observed coming out of another resident room and entered
Resident #229's room. LPN #510 verified the oblong shaped CPAP mask was face down on the floor,
against the wall between the bed and the night stand. LPN #510 verified it should not be on the floor and
stated the CPAP masks were to be kept in a bag after use. LPN #510 picked up the mask off the floor and
placed it in the top drawer of the night stand.
On 10/23/24 at 11:25 A.M., interview with Registered Nurse #670 revealed the facility follows the
manufacturer guidelines for cleaning CPAP equipment including mask.
Review of the manufacturer guideline user manual (dated 2018) revealed the tubing and mask adaptor
should be hand washed. For daily cleaning, disconnect the tubing from the device and the mask, and, if
included, disconnect the mask adaptor from the tubing. Gently wash the tubing and mask adaptor in a
solution of warm water and a liquid dish soap. Rinse thoroughly, air dry and inspect.
Based on medical record review, observation, interview, policy review and manufacturer guideline review
the facility failed to ensure oxygen was administered per orders and respiratory equipment was stored
properly. This affected two (Resident #15 and #229) residents of four residents reviewed for respiratory
care.
Findings include:
1. Record review revealed Resident #15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including
heart failure, asthma, and anxiety.
Review of Resident #15 Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident utilized oxygen
therapy and had asthma or chronic lung disease.

medical record review and interview, the facility failed to provide pain medication as ordered, obtain
clarification regarding medication administration, and offer non-pharmacological interventions prior to the
administration of pain medication ordered on an as needed basis. This affected two (Residents #29 and
#178) of four residents reviewed for pain management.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #29's medical record revealed diagnoses including osteoarthritis and type two
diabetes mellitus. A care plan initiated 10/04/23 indicated Resident #29 was at risk for pain related to
arthritis, depression, migraines, generalized discomfort and diabetes mellitus. An intervention dated
10/04/23 provided instructions to administer pain medication as ordered. Resident #29 had orders for the
administration of tylenol 650 milligrams four times a day dated 08/21/24.
Review of the September 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed tylenol was not
administered at midnight on 09/09/24 or 09/20/24 with the rationale documented as Resident #29 was
sleeping.
The September MAR also indicated tylenol was not administered at 6 A.M. on 09/03/24, 09/05/24,
09/06/24, 09/07/24, 09/08/24, 09/09/24 or 09/20/24 with a code indicating Resident #29 was sleeping.
Review of an annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #29 was able
to make herself understood and was able to understand others. Resident #29 was assessed as cognitively
intact and reported she had experienced pain or hurting almost constantly over the prior five days. The pain
had occasionally made it hard for her to sleep at night and occasionally limited her day to day activities. On
a scale of 0-10, the worst pain was rated as an eight over the prior five days.
During an interview on 10/21/24 at 4:59 P.M., Resident #29 reported she had osteoarthritis and was in pain
all the time. Resident #29 indicated she had an order for tylenol four times a day. Resident #29 indicated
she did not always received the tylenol as ordered.
On 10/28/24 at 9:08 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #541 stated residents should be awakened for scheduled
medications unless they had requested not to be. On 10/28/24 at 9:23 A.M., RN #541 stated she was
unable to find a valid reason the tylenol was not administered as ordered in September 2024.
2. Review of Resident #178's medical record revealed diagnoses including left hip fracture and type two
diabetes mellitus. Resident #178 had a physician order dated 10/07/24 for acetaminophen 650 milligrams
(mg) every six hours as necessary for general pain.
Review of a care plan initiated 10/08/24 indicated Resident #178 was at risk for pain related to left femur
fracture and generalized discomfort. The goal was for Resident #178 to have no interruption in normal
activities due to pain. Interventions included administering pain medication in accordance with orders.
An admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #178 was able to make herself understood and was
able to understand others. Resident #178 was assessed as cognitively intact. Resident #178 received

pain medication on an as necessary basis administered or it was offered and declined. Resident #178
reported almost constant pain over the prior five days. Pain frequently interfered with sleep, occasionally
interfered with therapeutic activities and frequently interfered with day to day activities. The worst pain was
rated a ten on a scale of 0-10.
On 10/21/24 an order was written for one tablet of oxycodone-acetaminophen (narcotic pain medication)
5-325 milligrams every eight hours as needed for severe pain for two weeks. There was no clarification as
to what was considered severe pain.
Review of the October 2024 MAR indicated five doses of tylenol were received for pain ranging from a
severity of 2-8 on a scale of 0-10. Twelve doses of percocet were administered for pain rated 4-10.
There was a lack of documentation regarding non-pharmacological interventions being attempted prior to
the administration of the pain medication.
On 10/28/24 at 12:57 P.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #670 verified there were no parameters to address
when the tylenol and oxycodone/acetaminophen should be ordered. The order regarding administration of
the oxycodone/acetaminophen for severe pain was vague and did not provide concise guidelines. RN #670
verified there was a lack of documentation regarding attempts to provide non-pharmacological interventions
for pain relief prior to the administration of pain medication.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00159135.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
Based on review of the facility Payroll Based Journal information, facility assessment, staffing schedule
information and staff interviews the facility failed to ensure sufficient staffing levels were maintained to
provide resident care and services. This had the potential to affect all 75 residents within the facility.
Findings include:
Review of the facility Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) data report for the third quarter (April 1 to June 30, 2024)
revealed the facility had a one star staffing rating and low weekend staffing levels.
The facility assessment with a reviewed date of 08/28/24 indicated a minimum staffing level plan of five to
ten direct care nurses per day and seven to 14 State Tested Nurse Aides (STNA) per day. The facility
assessment indicated a daily average resident census of 71 to 78.
Review of the facility staffing schedules for the dates of 05/10/24 to 05/12/24, 06/14/24 to 06/16/24 and
09/12/24 to 09/18/24 revealed the following dates and shift with low staffing levels:
05/12/24 (Sunday) census of 78 residents, dayshift one Registered Nurse (RN), four Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN), four CNA and night shift one RN, five LPN and three CNA for a total of two RN, nine LPN and
seven CNA.
06/15/24 (Saturday) census of 68 residents, dayshift one RN, three LPN and three CNA and night shift one
RN, one LPN and four CNA for a total staffing for the day of two RN, four LPN and seven CNA.

and two CNA for a total staff for the day of one RN, four LPN and seven CNAs.
09/14/24 (Saturday) census of 78 residents, dayshift one RN, three LPN, four CNA and night shift one RN,
two LPN and two CNA for a total staffing for the day of two RN, five LPN and six CNA.
09/16/24 (Monday) census of 78 residents, dayshift two RN, two LPN and three CNA and night shift three
LPN and three CNA for a total staffing for the day of two RN, five LPN and six CNA.
09/18/24 (Wednesday) census of 79 residents, dayshift one RN, four LPN and three CNA and night shift
two RN, three LPN and three CNA for a total staffing for the day of three RN, seven LPN and six CNA.

had enough staff but when dementia residents having behaviors it was difficult to provide care related to
need for increased supervision.
On 10/22/24 at 7:09 A.M. interview with CNA #610 revealed not enough staff because south wings has a lot
of behaviors and lot of residents who required two assists. If there were only three aides it was hard to get
help.

were three aides for the facility at night. Residents complain of wait times but if two aides were transferring
a resident or giving a shower it left only the nurse to monitor the halls/call lights and often passing meds.
Some nurses would help and answer call lights but some did not. It was difficult to say with certainty how
long residents had to wait as staff did not always hear or see them when they were in rooms providing care
to other residents but residents would complain how long it took.
Residents Affected - Many
On 10/22/24 at 7:26 A.M. interview with LPN #524 indicated some nights it was difficult to provide care per
residents' needs. There were generally two nurses working at night. Average number of aides on night shift
was three. South wing had a lot of residents who required two assists related to dementia. Stated when two
aides were tied up using the hoyer and she was passing medications on one hall a resident on the other
hall could potentially have their call light going off for a while without staff knowing it. Residents did
complain about wait time. She tries to help the aides when she can but that meant medications not being
administered in a timely manner. Stated she worked three days a week and at least two of the three days
she only had three aides in the facility.
On 10/22/24 at 7:40 A.M. CNA #502 indicated most of the time there was not enough staff on night shift.
Usually three to four aides for over 70 residents. Getting rounds done every two hours is difficult. When
aides were giving showers call lights were going off and it could leave two halls uncovered.
On 10/22/24 at 2:40 P.M. interview with the facility administrator and staffing scheduler #545 revealed
minimum staffing schedules are four nurses and five CNAS on dayshift and two nurses and four CNA on
night shift. The Administrator indicated the facility found this was insufficient staffing levels and have
recently requested corporate office to approve increasing minimum staffing levels to four nurses and seven
CNA on dayshift and three nurses and five CNA on night shift. Administrator verified the facility did not meet
PBJ minimum staffing level requirements for the third quarter of 2024.
