F 0606 Not hire anyone with a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on personnel file review, interview and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to hire staff free of disqualifying offenses including abuse. This affected three out of five personnel files reviewed and had the potential to affect all 161 residents in the facility.

The Administrator indicated the internal facility processes regarding questionable background checks was not followed, as any applicant with findings on their background checks that Human Resources staff had questions about would have to go to the Divisional [NAME] President of Human Resources for further review. The Administrator also stated based on STNA #356's findings of child neglect, STNA #356 never should have been hired by the facility. Review of the facility policy, Background Checks/Abuse Checks Under Ohio Law, dated 10/01/19 revealed if an individual had convictions you will see a printout that will list all convictions for that individual not just convictions for disqualifying crimes. You will need to review the printout to determine whether any of the convictions are disqualifying. The printout will also include arrests for which the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCII) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has no record of disposition (i.e. they do not know how the matter turned out in the courts). If a job applicant has been arrested for what would be a disqualifying crime but there is no disposition listed, you will have to investigate yourself to find out what the result was. You may put the burden on the applicant to provide you with evidence of what the disposition of the offense was you are not required to hire someone with a prohibited offense regardless of whether they can meet personal care (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365779 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 22 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 365779 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Review of Resident #158's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/03/23 with diagnoses including obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type, polydipsia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, auditory hallucinations, dementia with other behavioral disturbance, generalized anxiety disorder, delusional disorders, other psychoactive substance abuse in remission and homicidal ideations. Record review revealed Resident #158 had a legal guardian, identified as Legal Guardian (LG) #472. Residents Affected - Few Review of a historical social service note dated 01/23/23 revealed Resident #158 lived at a group home prior to nursing home stay and was homicidal at that time. She was not following any of the rules at the group [NAME] and was using a family member's money to use Uber and not let anyone know where she was going. Resident #158 was not safe in the community. Resident #158 was incompetent with a guardian and the guardian reported the plan was for Resident #158 to be placed permanently. Review of a court order dated 01/26/23 revealed Resident #158's guardianship was to continue as FM #474 enabled her harmful behavior. FM #474 would give Resident #158 large sums of money and a cell phone and Resident #158 would use these items to purchase such things as Uber (rideshare service) rides to spend time at a homeless shelter in Cleveland and Amazon orders of food, drink and dietary supplements. A crack pipe was found in her room at her previous group residence after one such visit. Due to her diagnosis of psychogenic polydipsia her nutrition intake must be closely monitored. Resident #158 continued to require LG #472 as her insight and judgement was severely impaired due to her mental illness, her insight and judgement were too limited due to psychosis to make decisions and Resident #158 remained detached from reality and unable to make reasoned decisions. The order found it was in Resident #158's best interests to not be allowed to visit FM #474 and FM #474 could only have contact with Resident #158 via phone going forward. Review of historical wandering observation tools for Resident #158 dated 06/08/23 and 02/15/24 indicated Resident #158 had a history of elopement and was at risk for elopement. Review of a historical nurse practitioner note dated 09/27/23 revealed Resident #158 remained on the locked unit for safety of potential elopement. Review of a historical social service note dated 02/05/24 revealed Resident #158 continued to have behaviors on the behavior unit, was delusional and was not appropriate to be moved off of the locked unit. Doctors recommend no discharge for resident, and she needed continued placement on the locked unit. Failed attempts in the community due to her non-compliance make her unsafe and she already has a guardian in place. Review of Resident #158's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #158 had moderate cognitive impairment, experienced delusions, displayed other behavioral symptoms not directed towards others one to three days in the seven-day look-back period and wandered one to three days in the seven-day look-back period. Resident #158 required set up assistance for most activities of daily living, supervision or touching assistance for bathing/showering and required supervision for ambulation. Review of Resident #158's physician's orders revealed an order dated 01/04/24 for Haloperidol (antipsychotic medication) oral tablet 5 milligrams (mg) give three tablets by mouth at bedtime for schizophrenia; an order dated 02/15/23 for Depakote (anticonvulsant medication) oral tablet delayed release 250 mg give 250 mg by mouth three times a day for mood; an order dated 06/26/23 for Invega (antipsychotic medication) oral tablet extended release 24 hour 3 mg give 3 mg by mouth in the morning for (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365779 If continuation sheet Page 17 of 22 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 365779 B.

Review of a witness statement dated 07/15/24 and authored by LPN #431 included the following information: Average morning, nothing reported to me during shift change. Rounds made around 8:00 A.M. and noticed Resident #158 was not in her room. Complete check of the hall was done when we (not specified) noticed the back door was propped open with a wet floor sign. This was reported. Review of a [NAME] police report dated 07/15/24 at 8:35 A.M. revealed a call placed from RN/UM #467 regarding Resident #158 who was at FM #474's house but was supposed to be at the facility but had escaped.

There is a history of FM #474 giving Resident #158 money as well as Resident #158 taking an Uber to Cleveland for a purchase. Resident #158 was with RN/UM #467 in the facility at 9:52 A.M. Review of STNA #356's personnel file revealed a date of hire dated 03/06/23.

As Buckeye was her normal hall, she knew who to get up and reported that Resident #158 and her roommates all slept in, so she did not check on them. Between 7:45 A.M. and 8:00 A.M. she was in the dining room and the STNA (name not known) went to take Resident #158 her breakfast tray and Resident #158 was not there. LPN #431 acknowledged at this point she had not done rounds during her shift which had started at 6:00 A.M. LPN #431 stated a head count was done and only Resident #158 was missing. It was discovered at this time a folded up wet floor sign was propping the back door of the Buckeye unit open. LPN #431 stated she contacted LPN #471, and a Code [NAME] was called.

LG #472 stated FM #474 was to have no physical contact with Resident #158, but they were allowed to talk on the phone.

LG #472 stated she was made aware of Resident #158's elopement from the facility and shared she was aware someone had left a wet floor sign in the secured door at the back of the unit and Resident #158 had observed people coming in and out of that door and had gotten out of the facility through that door sometime after 11:00 P.M. on 07/14/24.

LPN #471 stated they cleared the code and did a facility-wide head count before working on obtaining witness statements from staff. LPN #471 shared Resident #158 was not an elopement risk for nursing but would not be safe outside of the facility as she had poor coping and decision-making skills and would not take her medications.
