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.

Review of the April 2025 medication administration record revealed Resident #19 had a pain level of eight out of ten on 04/21/25 at 5:05 A.M. after not having her routine pain medication as ordered. On 04/21/25 at 1:45 P.M. an interview with Resident #19 revealed the nurses do not reorder her pain medication on time and she runs out of it. She stated on 04/18/25 when she got her 2:00 P.M. pain pill she asked the nurse if she would have enough pain pills to get through they weekend because it was Easter weekend. Resident #19 stated the nurse told her there would not be enough pills and she would reorder it, but she never reordered it. Resident #19 stated she ran out on Saturday night and was without her pain pills for almost 17 hours and stated it happened all the time. 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.
