**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents received timely and appropriate feeding assistance and supervision with meals. This affected two (Residents #39 and #46) of nine residents reviewed. The census was 53.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #39 admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnoses that included but were not limited to unspecified dementia, unspecified anxiety disorder, and unspecified bipolar disorder. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #39 had severely impaired cognition, required extensive two-person staff assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene, and required extensive one-person staff assistance with eating and locomotion. 2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #46 admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnoses that included but were not limited to non-traumatic brain dysfunction, unspecified Alzheimer's disease, and unspecified anxiety disorder. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #46 had severely impaired cognition, required extensive two-person assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, locomotion, and personal hygiene, and required limited (staff provide guided maneuvering of limbs) one-person assistance with eating. Review of an undated list of residents who required feeding assistance provided by the facility revealed the facility identified Residents #54, #46, and #38 needed supervision and setup assistance. In addition to setup, Resident #37 needed cueing assistance, and Resident #55 needed feeding assistance. No other residents on the [NAME] Unit were identified on the list. During an interview on 04/10/2023 at 11:05 A.M., STNA #128 stated one (#46) resident on [NAME] Unit needed feeding assistance and two (#39 and #55) residents needed cueing assistance for eating.

The lunch meal consisted of lasagna, steamed broccoli, a breadstick, and a dessert of diced peaches, ice cream, or both. Resident #39 began feeding herself diced peaches with her fingers, and Resident #46 began feeding himself broccoli with his fingers.

Residents Affected - Few
Observation on 04/10/23 at 11:37 A.M. revealed Resident #39 had no food remaining on her plate or tray, and approximately half of the portions of broccoli, lasagna, and peaches were scattered across the resident's lap and floor surrounding her wheelchair. During an interview on 04/10/23 at 11:37 A.M., STNA #128 stated when she finished feeding Resident #55, she would go to the hallway to get Resident #38 out of bed and bring her to the dining room for lunch before assisting Residents #39 and #46 with eating. STNA #128 stated she often had to leave the residents unsupervised in the dining room to attend to other residents on the hall. Observation on 04/10/23 at 11:47 A.M., STNA #128 continued feeding Resident #55 while Resident #39 struggled to remove the lid of her water cup and Resident #46 fed himself a breadstick and attempted to eat ice cream. From 11:57 A.M. to 12:05 P.M., STNA #128 fed Resident #46 a few bites of lasagna, broccoli, and peaches. During an interview on 04/10/23 at 12:14 P.M., STNA #128 verified she provided set-up assistance only to Resident #39 and it appeared that half of her food ended up in her lap or on the floor. STNA #128 verified over 30 minutes had passed between the time she had set up Resident #46's meal tray and the time she sat down and provided feeding assistance to Resident #46. During an interview on 04/11/23 at 8:39 A.M., STNA #266 stated she worked alone on the [NAME] Unit up to four days per week. STNA #266 stated she did not feel it was safe for the residents or the caregiver to have only one aide on the unit and she had expressed these concerns to management, and the concerns were not addressed. STNA #266 stated there was no extra supervision provided during mealtimes, and stated she often had to leave residents unsupervised on the unit to get help with care. Observation on 04/11/23 from 11:27 A.M. to 12:03 P.M., STNA #266 was the only staff providing feeding assistance to residents for lunch on [NAME] Unit. Registered Nurse (RN) #164 was on the hall with the medication cart around the corner from the dining room and was unable to see residents eating while passing medications to residents in their rooms from 11:27 A.M. to 11:45 A.M. STNA #266 set up trays for Residents #37, #39, and #46 who were already seated at tables in the dining room. At 11:49 A.M., STNA#266 obtained gloves and sat down to assist Resident #46 to eat his fish sandwich. Resident #39 tore off pieces of the fish patty and bun and fed herself with her fingers. Resident #39 threw the top of the bun on the floor and attempted eating cake with her hands. At 11:57 A.M., Resident #39 pushed Resident #43's water cup off the table into Resident #43's lap. STNA#266 propelled Resident #39 away from the table and cleaned up the water while Resident #39 clapped repeatedly, grit her teeth, pulled at the miniature blinds, and shook Resident #37's table. STNA #266 offered Resident #39 a sip of water and Resident #39 refused. STNA #266 began cleaning tables and returning trays to meal cart. Resident #39 had consumed approximately half of her fish sandwich and potato chips, one fourth of her cake slice, and none of her soup and crackers or milk. The dining room floor was scattered with bits of cake, potato chips, and remnants of Resident #39's fish sandwich. At 12:02 P.M., STNA #266 redirected Resident #46 from attempting to eat his napkin and began to sit and feed Resident #46 cake. At 12:03 P.M., Resident #39 began pulling at the miniature blinds, continued manic clapping, wringing hands, taking deep breaths, and making repetitive statements. STNA #266 propelled Resident #39 in her wheelchair to the lounge area and finished clearing lunch trays from the dining room. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH 00141362.

The DON verified there was no additional staff person assigned to supervise residents on the [NAME] Unit during lunch. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00141362.
