F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 advanced directive order will be entered into the resident's electronic health record. The advanced directive physician's order in the electronic health record will be the primary source the nurses will follow during a code blue situation. This can be found immediately when accessing the resident's electronic record. The Director of Nursing or designee will be responsible for reporting on auditing and managing each Ohio Advanced Directive fully executed form with each resident's advanced directive physician's order.

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.

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.

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.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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.
