**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, staff interview, and review of a policy, the facility failed to ensure fall
interventions were in place as ordered and care planned. This affected one (#21) of three residents
reviewed for falls. The facility census was 68.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #21's medical record revealed admission to the facility occurred on 12/24/18. Resident
#21 had medical diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, high blood pressure, and repeated falls. Review
of Resident #21's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #21 had
severe impaired cognition, was independent with mobility in a wheelchair, and was a high risk for falling
with recent falls identified.
Review of Resident #21's medical record revealed a fall risk plan of care dated 01/04/19 with interventions
including a sign on the bedside stand to remind to use the call light to get up, place a Dycem (non-slip pad)
to the wheelchair and recliner, and a non-skid mat in front of the recliner. Review of Resident #21's
physician orders also included the fall interventions that were listed in the plan of care.
Observation of Resident #21's room on 08/09/23 at 9:48 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #23 confirmed
there was no Dycem in Resident #21's wheelchair or recliner, no non-skid mat in front of the recliner, and
no sign posted on the bedside table. RN #23 confirmed Resident #21's physician orders and plan of care
included the fall interventions that were not in place at the time of the observation.
Observation of Resident #21's room with the Director of Nursing and RN #23 on 08/09/23 at 10:33 A.M.
revealed RN #23 located the Dycem at the nursing station and placed it in Resident #21's wheelchair and
recliner. The facility attempted to locate the non-skid mat that should be in front of Resident #21's recliner,
and Resident #21 did not have any signs posted on the bedside stand.
Review of the facility fall policy and procedure, dated 03/16/22, revealed care plan intervention should be
implemented that address the resident risk factors.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, staff interview, and review of a facility policy, the facility failed to ensure medications were
stored in a safe and secure manner. This affected two (100 and 300) of three hallway medication carts
observed. This had the potential to affect 48 (#1, #4, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #18,
#19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #29, #30, #31, #32, #37, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45,
#47, #48, #49, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #61, #62, and #63) residents who resided on the 100
and 300 hallways. The facility census was 63.
Findings include:
1. Observation on 08/09/23 at 8:03 A.M. revealed a medication cart on the 300 hallway was sitting in the
hallway with a cup of liquid medication on top of the cart. The cart and medication were unattended by any
staff members. The medication cart was observed to have Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #22's name
badge sitting next to the cup of liquid medication on top of it.
On 08/09/23 at 8:05 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #23 approached the medication cart and confirmed the
presence of the full cup of liquid medication sitting on the medication cart. RN #23 confirmed staff should
not leave any medications unattended, and removed the medication to dispose of it.
2. Observation on 08/09/23 at 8:37 A.M. revealed a medication cart on the 100 hallway sitting just outside
room [ROOM NUMBER]. The medication cart was unlocked with no staff in the area.
Observation on 08/09/23 at 8:45 A.M. revealed RN #21 was located on the unit. Interview with RN #21 at
that time confirmed she left the medication cart unlocked and unsecured on the 100 hallway. RN #21
confirmed the medication cart should be locked at all times when not attended as to prevent unauthorized
access.
Review of the facility medication storage policy dated November 2018 revealed the medication supply is
accessible only to licensed facility personnel and those lawfully authorized to administer medications, and
medication rooms, carts, and medication supplies are locked when not attended by persons with authorized
access.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144930.
