On 03/04/20 at 9:19 A.M., interview with SS #7 verified Resident #2 had told her the CD's were missing and stated the CD's were not on his inventory list so she didn't know if he ever really had the CD's or not. SS #7 verified she had not entered the items onto the Concern/Missing Items list because she normally does not document missing items unless it had been a while and the items did not show up. SS #7 stated she just found out on 03/01/20 of the missing items but still did not log or inform the interdisciplinary team (IDT) of the missing items because the Ohio Department of Health was in the building. On 03/04/20 between 10:07 A.M. and 10:18 A.M., interview with the Administrator stated any resident or family who reported an item missing was to be logged on the missing item log and a search conducted. If the item was not found within a day or two, the entire team should conduct a search and inform the resident of the outcome in order to come to a resolution. The investigation was to start immediately and there had been no missing items reported to her since taking over as Administrator in mid February 2020. Review of the undated policy titled Missing Item, revealed all missing items were to be reported to social services and/or the Administrator. Social services was responsible for tracking and communicating the item description to the interdisciplinary team and completing a missing item form. A thorough investigation was to be conducted and the results of the investigation was to be reviewed with the resident and/or representative.

The guardianship went into effect on 11/01/13, and the resident was deemed to be incompetent. A review of Resident #8's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had adequate hearing and clear speech. She was able to make herself understood and was able to understand others. She was cognitively intact and was not known to have any behaviors nor was she known to reject care. She required an extensive assist of one for transfers. A review of a multidisciplinary care conference assessment dated [DATE] revealed that was the last care conference held for the resident. The assessment identified those in attendance, which included a Registered Nurse (RN), dietician, social worker, activity director and nursing administration. There was no indication of the resident attending the meeting nor her court appointed guardian. The notification of the plan of care meeting was indicated to have been done by written notification but did not specify who was notified/ invited. A review of Resident #8's nurses' progress notes revealed a care plan conference invitation was sent to the resident's guardian on 12/06/19. There was no indication of the resident being invited to attend her care plan conference. On 03/02/20 10:37 A.M., an interview with Resident #8 revealed she had not been invited to attend any of her care plan conferences. She stated she did not know what that even was. On 03/03/20 at 12:00 P.M., an interview with Social Service Designee (SSD) #7 revealed the facility held plan of care meetings upon admission, quarterly, when there was a significant change in the resident's status or if something was going on that needed to be communicated to the resident's family or guardian. She reported they invited the residents' power of attorneys or any family member the resident wanted to attend.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, preadmission screening and resident review (PASARR) and interview, the facility failed to ensure discharge planning was on-going to meet the needs of the resident. This affected one (Resident #2) of four residents reviewed for PASARR. The census was 37.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #2 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder and anxiety. Review of the care plan: Discharge planning, dated 04/13/18, revealed the resident's placement at the facility was long term, and the goal was to continue to adjust and accept facility placement. On 11/25/19, an assessment was completed by the Area of Aging for an Assisted Living Waiver for Resident #2. Review of the Multidisciplinary Care Conferences dated 11/27/19 revealed the resident was to be discharged to the community. Passport had completed their assessment and recommendations were to be sent to the facility and Home Choice had appointed a transition coordinator. Further review of the medical record revealed no documented evidence of discharge planning after 11/27/19. Review of the discharge return anticipated Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed a discharge plan was already occurring for the resident to return to the community and a referral had been made to the local agency. Review of the PASARR Summary of Findings dated 02/05/20 revealed care in a nursing facility did not appear to be the best setting for Resident #2, and the resident's needs were determined to be able to be met in a community setting. The medical necessity determination for nursing home placement was denied. On 03/04/20 at 3:55 P.M., interview with the Director of Nursing verified the advanced care planning for discharge was not accurate and the resident has been working towards an apartment outside the facility. On 03/04/20 at 5:35 P.M., interview with Social Service (SS) #7 stated at the time of the Multidisciplinary Care Conference on 11/27/19 there was no rush to proceed with discharge planning because there was no where for him to go. SS #7 stated he then developed cancer, had an admission to the hospital and the facility had been appealing the PASARR decision. On 03/05/20 at 10:10 A.M., interview with SS #7 verified there was no evidence of on-going discharge planning or assistance to proceed with community discharge for Resident #2, and she had not been working towards a discharge plan prior to 2020 because they were appealing the PASARR decision. SS #7 verified payment for long term care has been denied and now she was unsure how this would affect him financially.

This affected one (Resident #6) of three residents reviewed for personal funds.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #6 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis of early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #6 entered the facility from the community and had impaired cognition for daily decision-making. Review of the Social Security Administration: Payee Request dated 09/05/19 revealed the facility requested payee for resident social security, and the resident owed the facility the patient's monthly liability. There was no confirmation the request dated 09/05/19 was sent or received by Social Security Administration. There was also no evidence of subsequent attempts to receive the resident's monthly liability. Review of the Resident Fund Management Service dated 09/05/19 revealed the resident fund account was a transferring account with no monthly allowance amount documented. There were no transactions completed between 09/05/19 and 12/31/19. Review of the Resident Statement Landscape dated 02/12/20 revealed $110.00 was deposited into the resident's account.

The Administrator stated the resident's family had deposited $110.00 into her account; however, there was no evidence the resident was notified. The Administrator further stated Resident #6 had not been receiving her Social Security monthly allowance because no one knew where her social security check had been going, she had contacted the Social Security Administration twice without any response but did not have any proof or documentation of this. The resident has a guardian appointed by the court, and she did not know where the resident's Social Security money was either. The Administrator stated the facility was paid by Medicaid for the resident's care and the social security was only the resident's monthly spending allowance of $30.00 but had not received it since admission.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure specialized equipment met the positioning needs of a resident. This affected one (Resident #12) of two residents reviewed for positioning. The census was 37.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #12 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral palsy and intellectual developmental disorder. Review of the care plan: Potential for Self-care Deficit, revised 07/13/17, revealed therapy was to treat and evaluate as needed and staff was to notify therapy of any decline in condition. Review of the monthly Order Summary Report dated 03/05/20 revealed Resident #12 was ordered a tilt and space (specialty) wheelchair with Dycem (non-slip material) and pressure reduction cushion as tolerated. On 03/04/20 at 9:07 A.M., Resident #12 was observed in the dining room in a specialized wheelchair leaning to right with no bolsters, positioning devices or supports to maintain an upright position. A communication board was observed on the table to the right of the resident. Resident #12 was observed eating mechanical soft meat at the time of the observation. On 03/04/20 at 2:00 P.M., Resident #12 was observed in her specialty wheelchair leaning to the right with no support to keep the resident upright. Resident #12 was observed drinking from a lidded cup at the time of the observation.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, review of the facility's nursing drug handbook and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure hypnotic (medications that induce sleep) medications were not used longer than their intended use, without a gradual dose reduction attempt, and without adequate monitoring of the resident's target behavior. This affected one (Resident #28) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications.
Findings include: A review of Resident #28's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility from another nursing facility on 01/30/20. She was [AGE] years old and had the diagnoses of insomnia, dementia without behavioral disturbances and major depressive disorder. A review of Resident #28's active physician's orders revealed she was receiving Restoril (a hypnotic/ benzodiazepine used for the treatment of insomnia) 7.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) every night at bedtime for insomnia. The order had been in place since her admission on [DATE] but originated on 07/03/19, while she was residing in the other nursing facility. A review of Resident #28's medication administration record (MAR) for March 2020 revealed she received the Restoril 7.5 mg po every night at bedtime for insomnia as ordered. A review of Resident #28's behavior monitoring sheets revealed the resident was being monitored for signs of feeling down, depressed or hopeless. She was also being monitored for the generic behaviors of frequent crying, repetitive movements, yelling/ screaming, kicking/ hitting, pushing, grabbing, pinching/ scratching/ spitting, biting, wandering, abusive language, threatening behavior, sexually inappropriate behavior, rejection of care or none of the above. The generic behaviors were the same for each resident who was being monitored for behaviors and were not resident specific. She was not being monitored for insomnia as a target behavior for which she was receiving the Restoril for. There was no evidence in Resident #8's medical record that a gradual dose reduction attempt (GDR) was attempted for the use of Restoril. She had been on the same dose since she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had been on that same dose since 07/03/19 when she resided in the prior nursing facility. A review of the Nursing Drug Handbook from PharMerica (used by the facility as a drug reference book) revealed Restoril was a high risk medication for geriatric clients. Restoril was identified in the Beers Criteria as a potentially inappropriate medication to be avoided in clients 65 years and older due to an increased risk of impaired cognition, delirium, falls, fractures with Benzodiazepine use. The drug reference book indicated it was intended for the short term use for insomnia.

She indicated any behaviors that occurred would be documented in the nurses' progress notes or in the Point of Care (POC) Response History in the electronic health record (EHR). She indicated the resident came from another nursing facility on the Restoril. She was not sure how long the drug hand book recommended Restoril to be used for and did not know it was intended for short term use. She agreed, since the resident was receiving Restoril for insomnia, they should be monitoring for that as one of her target behaviors.

She also acknowledged the behavior monitoring sheets being used to document the resident's behaviors did not include insomnia as one of the target behaviors.
