Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, resident and staff interview, and review of a bid quote for work from a local construction
company, the facility failed to provide a safe and homelike environment. This affected 18 (#4, #6, #8, #10,
#15, #17, #18, #19, #22, #23, #25, #36, #37, #38, #39, #42, #46, and #50) of 55 residents reviewed for
environment. The facility census was 55.
Findings Include:
1. Interview with Resident #19 in the facility's outdoor smoking area on 04/22/25 at 9:50 A.M. revealed the
resident did not feel safe in the smoking area and felt it was only a matter of time before the wooden
[NAME] structure surrounding the smoking area was going collapse around the residents.
Observation of the smoking area on 04/22/25 at 10:00 A.M. revealed the area was covered by a wooden
[NAME]. The wood on the structure beams were noted to be visibly rotting to various degrees all throughout
the area. The center beam of the [NAME] had an over five and one-half feet long hole in the wood that had
been made by a large termite infestation and subsequent damage. A plastic roof was visualized to cover
half the [NAME] with an active substance growth on it. A number of vertical support beams throughout the
[NAME] had pieces of wood that were actively separating from the support beam.
Interview with Maintenance Director (MD) #511 on 04/22/25 at 10:15 A.M. verified the condition of the
wooden [NAME] in the smoking area and the damage to the main center beam had been caused by a
termite infestation. MD #511 also noted the facility received a bid on replacing the [NAME] structure a while
ago and the facility chose to purchase replacement air conditioners instead.
Review of the bid quote from a local construction company revealed the facility received a bid for
replacement of [NAME] structure on 04/20/23 with multiple options of replacement of the structure. No
further action was noted to have been taken on the quote received on 04/20/23 and no other quotes from
other companies regarding replacement of the structure were received.
The facility identified Resident #4, Resident #8, Resident #15, Resident #17, Resident #19, Resident #23,
Resident #25, Resident #36, Resident #37, Resident #39, Resident #46, and Resident #50 as active
smokers residing in the facility.
2. Observation on 04/28/25 beginning at at 9:29 A.M. of hot water temperatures from the bathroom faucets
in resident rooms and room conditions with MD #511 revealed the water temperature exceeded 120
degrees Fahrenheit (°F) in resident rooms and there were also other environmental issues noted.
Observation of Resident #22 and Resident #8's hot water revealed it was 123 °F and there were
gouges on the bathroom wall and near the window. Resident #10's hot water was 124 °F and had
gouges on the wall and paint separating from the ceiling in the bathroom. Resident #38's room had large
gouges on the walls of the room. Resident #42 and Resident #6's hot water was 124 °F and had
gouges in the wall by the door. Resident #18's hot water was 124 °F.
Interview with MD #511 on 04/28/25 between 9:29 A.M. and 9:55 A.M. verified each temperature reading
and environmental concern at the time of discovery.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00163638.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of the medical record, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident was
properly assessed for use of a restraint. This affected one (#18) of three residents reviewed for restraints.
The census was 55.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included sepsis, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, diabetes, hypertension, and depression.
Review of the plan of care dated 11/29/24 revealed Resident #18 had the potential for pressure ulcer
development related to a skin tear to the right fifth digit. Interventions included garden gloves at all times
except while sleeping with instructions to remove at night for washing and to check skin integrity dated
04/17/25.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #18 had severely
impaired cognition.
Review of the progress note dated 04/09/25 at 12:35 P.M. revealed the nurse discussed options with the
legal representative to prevent further skin breakdown from Resident #18 from chewing on her fingers. The
physician ordered the antianxiety medication Ativan 0.5 milligrams (mg) as needed every eight hours to
prevent anxious chewing.
Review of the April 2025 physician's orders revealed Resident #18 had an order to remove gloves, check
skin integrity, wash hands with soap, wash the gloves, and hang them to dry dated 04/17/25. Further review
of the physician' orders revealed Resident #18 did not have an order for the gloves to be wore to prevent
her from chewing on her fingers.
Further review of the medical record revealed no restraint assessment was completed for the use of
gardening gloves with hook and loop fasteners (Velcro) to the hands of Resident #18 to prevent her from
chewing on her fingers.
Observation on 04/22/25 at 8:12 A.M. revealed Resident #18 had long gardening gloves with Velcro around
the wrist area on both her hands. Her fingers were not in the finger holes of the gloves an her hands were
balled up in fists inside the gloves preventing her from movement.
On 04/24/25 at 11:17 A.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the gloves to the hands
of Resident #18 were due to the resident having her own teeth and would chew on her fingers. The DON
verified at that time Velcro was around the resident's wrists preventing the resident from removing them
herself.
On 04/28/25 at 8:50 A.M. a second interview with the DON revealed the facility attempted skin preparation
to harden the skin around Resident #18's nails but she would still bite at them. The DON stated they could
not use bandages because the resident would chew on them. The DON verified the physician was aware;
however, there was not an order or restraint assessment completed for use of the gloves to prevent biting.

chronic kidney, mood disorder, suicidal ideations, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pain
syndrome, cirrhosis of the liver, hypertension, congestive heart failure, depression, sleep apnea, and
anxiety disorder.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #19 had intact
cognition and had almost constant pain.
Review of the April 2025 physician's orders revealed Resident #19 had an order for one tablet of the
narcotic pain medication hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 milligrams (mg) three times a day for chronic
pain.
Review of Resident #19's electronic medication administration record (eMAR) progress note dated
04/20/25 at 10:43 P.M. revealed the facility was waiting on hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 milligrams
from the pharmacy.
Review of the narcotic count sheets revealed Resident #19 had a dose of scheduled
hydrocodone-acetaminophen 3-325 milligrams on 04/20/25 at 1:03 P.M. and did not have other dose until

On 04/28/25 at 8:58 A.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the nurse was unable to
pull the hydrocodone-acetaminophen for Resident #19 from the stock medication because they were
depleted and did not have any to give her.
On 04/28/25 at 1:00 P.M. a second interview with the DON revealed she was incorrect about the
hydrocodone-acetaminophen stock being depleted. She stated they actually did have the medication in the
stock kit, but because her pain medication had already been sent with the full prescription amount of 30
pills from the pharmacy, they were unable to pull one from stock and give Resident #19. The DON
