Based on a review of the medical record and interview with staff the facility to failed to ensure the resident representative for Resident #1 was notified of a new antibiotic treatment for a wound infection for Resident #1. This affected one resident (Resident #1) of 15 residents reviewed for change of condition. The facility census was 51. Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident #1 revealed an admission date of 10/19/23 with diagnoses including respiratory failure, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cognitive communication deficit, muscle weakness, moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, COVID-19, chronic kidney disease, aortic valve stenosis, and atrial fibrillation. Review of the documentation by the wound nurse, dated 02/12/24, revealed Resident #1 had an unstageable pressure injury to the thoracic spine measuring 3.2 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.5 cm in width by undetermined depth. The wound bed was covered in 70 percent slough (yellow/white accumulation of dead cells in a wound). An oral antibiotic (medication used to treat bacterial infections) was ordered due to suspected wound infection as evidenced by erythema (redness) and fluctuance (trapped fluid in the tissues). Review of the physician's orders dated 02/14/24 revealed Resident #1 had an order for Cipro (antibiotic) 750 milligrams (mg) once daily until 02/24/24 for a wound infection. Review of the February Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the first dose of Cipro (antibiotic) 750 milligrams was started on 02/14/24 for Resident #1. Review of the progress notes from 02/12/24 through 02/15/24 revealed no documentation the resident representative was notified of Resident #1 starting on an antibiotic for a wound infection. On 02/20/24 at 2:50 P.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing verified there was no evidence in the medical record the resident representative for Resident #1 was notified she started on an antibiotic for her wound infection.

F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few any help when she is here. The DON then went to Resident #32's room and stated it was the same conversation regarding STNA #208 being rude and talking mean to her. The DON told Resident #32 she would be talking to someone about her concerns. Interview was conducted on 02/22/24 at 11:05 A.M. with the DON who verified on 11/03/23 she identified staff to resident treatment concerns involving care provided to Residents #41 and #32 from STNA #208 and thought she had sent the Administrator an email about it. The DON explained she was having problems with the email, so it did not actually get sent to the Administrator until 11/09/23 which she did not realize until questioned by the Administrator on 11/09/23. The DON was unable to recall if she notified Administratror by phone or what. Interview was conducted on 02/22/24 at 10:34 A.M. with the Administrator who revealed she did not recall getting a call from the DON regarding concerns of staff to resident mistreatment reported by Resident #41 and Resident #32 to the DON on 11/03/23. The Administrator verified she was not notified until 11/09/23. The Administrator indicated it was not until 11/16/23 that an allegation of abuse was made by the daughter of Resident #23 via email which involved STNA #208. The Administrator began an investigation into the allegation but did not report it as a self-reported incident to the Ohio Department of Health. The Administrator was unable to give a reason as to why no self-reported incident (SRI) was initiated. The Administrator stated after interviewing Resident #41 and #32 she terminated employment of STNA #208 on 11/16/24 via telephone due to numerous complaints of STNA #208 being rude, mean, cursing and yelling when residents ask for help. Review of the facility policy titled Abuse, Mistreatment, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation of Resident Property, date revised 10/2022, stated facility staff should immediately report all such allegations of inappropriate treatment of a resident to the Administrator and to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) in accordance with the procedures in the policy. The Administrator or designee shall notify ODH as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the incident/allegation was made known by the staff member.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, review of facility policy and interviews, the facility did not ensure an allegation of resident mistreatment was immediately reported to the Administrator and was timely reported to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). This affected one resident (Resident #23) of eleven residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 51. Findings include: Record review was conducted for Resident #23 who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including need for assistance with personal care, major depressive disorder and generalized muscle weakness. Review of the MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #23 had impaired cognition, no behaviors, required extensive assistance of one staff for bed mobility and toileting, one person physical assist for eating and extensive assistance of two staff for transfers. Review of the plan of care, date initiated 07/18/19, revealed no findings related to abuse. Review of a typed letter from the family member of Resident #23, dated 11/16/23, and addressed to the facility Administrator, the Director of Social Services, and the DON, revealed an allegation of staff to resident abuse involving State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #208. The letter stated STNA #208 was neglectful and verbally and emotionally abusive to Resident #23. The letter stated STNA #208 would yell statements at the resident such as you're bothering me, what do you want and when Resident #23 requested help toileting, STNA #208 would say you don't need help, you can go by yourself. Review of the facility document titled Record of Warning or Disciplinary Action, dated 11/16/23, revealed STNA #208 was terminated from her employment at the facility on 11/16/23 via telephone for unsatisfactory job performance. The explanation was numerous complaints of STNA #208 being rude, mean, cursing, yelling at residents who ask for help. Interview was conducted on 02/22/24 at 2:32 P.M. with the family member of Resident #23 who indicated she did not want Resident #23 to know anything about the letter sent to the facility about STNA #208. The family member also did not want the surveyor to interview Resident #23 so no verification from the resident on whether she felt STNA #208 had been abusive to her was obtained. Interview was conducted on 02/22/24 at 10:34 A.M. with the Administrator who revealed it was not until 11/16/23 that an allegation of abuse was made by the daughter of Resident #23 via email which involved STNA #208. The Administrator began an investigation into the allegation, verified resident mistreatment occurred by STNA #208, but did not report it as a self-reported incident to the Ohio Department of Health. The Administrator was unable to give a reason as to why no self-reported incident (SRI) was initiated. The Administrator stated after obtaining resident interviews as part of her investigation, she decided to terminate employment of STNA #208 on 11/16/24 via telephone due to numerous complaints of STNA #208 being rude, mean, cursing and yelling when residents ask for help.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of the infection control logs, review of facility policy and interviews with staff, the facility failed to maintain proper surveillance of all infections in the facility. This had the potential to affect all 51 residents in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: Review of the infection control log from 11/20/23 to 02/20/24 revealed no documentation of infections from 01/01/24 to 02/20/24. On 02/20/24 at 11:51 A.M. an interview with the Administrator revealed they facility did not have any surveillance of infections documented for January and February 2024 due to the infection control nurse, who just quit her job at the facility the prior week, had not been doing them. On 02/26/24 at 12:27 P.M. an interview with Registered Nurse # 210 revealed she had been the facility's infection control nurse, however, she was never trained to do the infection control log so she never created them for January and February 2024. She stated she had asked several times to be shown how to do the logs but was never shown how to do them. Review of the facility policy titled, Surveillance for Infection, dated 09/17, revealed the infection preventionist would conduct ongoing surveillance for healthcare-associated infections and other epidemiologically significant infections that have substantial impact on potential resident outcome and that may require transmission-based precautions and other preventative interventions. This deficiency represents non-compliance identified during the investigation of Complaint Number OH00151177.
