**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the medical record, facility Self-Reported Incident (SRI) review, staff interview, and Ohio Revised
Code review, the facility failed to ensure the admissions coordinator had not signed a cognitively impaired
resident's signature and initials on her Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. This affected one resident
(Resident #242) of one reviewed for falsification of records.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #242 was admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses of
hemiplegia following cerebrovascular disease affecting the left side, dementia, major depressive disorder,
anxiety disorder, encephalopathy, low back pain, left hand contracture, epilepsy, schizoaffective disorder,
cerebral infarction, peripheral vascular disease, cognitive communication deficit, disorders of the brain,
dysphagia, chronic pain syndrome, aneurysm, and vascular dementia. The resident expired on [DATE].
Review of the State of Ohio Health Care Power of Attorney form dated [DATE], revealed Admissions #101
had initialed and sign the name of Resident #242 on the document and spelled the resident's name
incorrectly.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE], revealed Resident #242 had
severely impaired cognition.
Review of the facility Self-Reported Incident (SRI) dated [DATE], revealed the assistant administrator was
researching pre-paid funeral arrangements for Resident #242. The assistant administrator noticed that the
Durable Power of Attorney (DPOAHC) for Healthcare had incorrectly spelled the name of Resident #242
and used the incorrect initials. The assistant administrator looked further to see the initials were incorrect
and, being familiar with Resident #242's signature noted the signature was dissimilar. The assistant
administrator notified the Administrator. Administrator reviewed the document and it appeared admission
#101 may have signed the name of Resident #242 then as Notary. The initial and signature resembled
Admissions #101's handwriting. The Administrator met with admission #101 and asked her about the
document. admission #101 stated she filled-out the form and signed it because the resident was unable to
initial or sign. Administrator asked if Resident #242 was aware of the contents of the form and admission
#101 stated the resident's son, Family Member #110, was aware because he was in the room and the other
son and daughter were on the phone. Administrator read and pointed to the Durable Power of Attorney for
Healthcare and the Notary section. admission #101 was silent. When Administrator asked about the initials,
admission #101 stated that she took the hand of Resident #242 and guided her in writing the initials. Initials
that were, in fact, incorrect. Administrator asked admission #101 if she understood it was falsification of a
resident's record and legal document, she said no. admission #101 was relieved of her duties. admission
#101 stated she disagreed and that she should not be separated from employment because of this action
because she didn't know that she could not write someone's initials or sign their name. Administrator stated
that she was a Notary, and admission #101 was silent. Administrator reached out to the son of Resident
#242, the person listed as the DPOAHC, Family Member #110 on [DATE] to discuss the DPOAHC that his
mother, Resident #242 had in her file. Family Member #110 stated that he remembered admission #101

was not coherent. He had his brother and sister on the phone and was in his mother's room with admission
#101. Family Member #110 stated him, and his siblings had agreed he should make the healthcare
decisions for their mother. Family Member #110 was local, and his brother and sister live in the south.
Family Member #110 stated the three of them were on the same page when it came to their mother's
healthcare. He said his mother could not make decisions and the family was good with his decisions. Family
Member #110 stated admission #101 told them if they did not have this document in place, his mom would
become a ward of the state and someone else would make the decisions for her healthcare. Family
Member #110 stated this concerned the family so they decided they should have the document and he
should be the decision maker. Family Member #110 stated admission #101 took his mother's hand and
initialed the document then admission #101 signed his mother's name. Family Member #110 asked if they
get an attorney to have another document signed since their mom's health was failing and she was on
hospice. Administrator stated the document was not necessary, and the facility would continue to contact
him as the primary contact and his sister as the secondary contact.
Review of the Notary Complaint form with an attached letter from the Administrator dated [DATE] revealed
the facility had submitted a complaint against the former admissions coordinator (admission #101).
Review of the email dated [DATE] from the Office of the Ohio Secretary of State revealed the facility's
complaint had been assigned to the case from the Ohio Notary Advisory Board.
Interview on [DATE] at 9:17 A.M. with Administrator indicated they were not able to get a statement from
Admissions #101 because she was angry and did not believe she had done anything wrong. She verified
the facility could not allow her to continue to work when she was signing the resident's names on
documents, so the facility terminated her.
Review of the Ohio Revised Code 147.141 revealed the notary public must not notarize a signature on a
document if it appears the person was mentally incapable of understanding the nature and effect of the
document at the time of notarization.
