F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #53's legal guardian was notified of the resident's refusal of a planned procedure. This finding affected one (Resident #53) of three residents reviewed for changes in condition. Findings include: Review of Resident #53's medical record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, depression and gastrostomy status. Review of Resident #53's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident exhibited a memory problem. Review of the Summit County Probate court form dated 10/11/24 revealed the resident's daughter was the guardian of person and estate. Review of the Probate Division Court Document dated 10/24/24 revealed Attorney #815 was appointed Guardian Ad Litem (individual appointed by the court to represent the best interests of someone unable to take care of themselves). Review of Resident #53's progress note dated 04/04/25 at 5:13 P.M. revealed the resident went out for an abdominal CAT (medical imaging test that allows doctors to see inside body) scan with the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) accompanying and assisting. Per the CNA, the resident would not transfer onto the exam table for the exam/procedure and repeatedly refused. The test was canceled. Telephone interview on 04/07/25 at 10:36 A.M. with Probate #816 indicated the facility should be calling Resident #53's guardian (daughter) for any changes in the resident's condition. Probate #816 confirmed the facility had appointed a Guardian Ad Litem to make an independent report on the resident's condition and determine if the current guardian (daughter) was in the best interests of the resident. She stated this hearing would be conducted on 04/22/25 but at the current time, the daughter was the valid guardian. Interview on 04/07/25 at 10:47 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator confirmed Resident #53's current legal guardian was not notified of the resident's refusal of her test on 04/04/25. Review of the Notification of Change policy revised 12/2016 revealed the facility shall promptly Page 1 of 2 366010 366010 04/07/2025 The Pinnacle Rehabilitation and Nursing Center 330 Southwest Ave Tallmadge, OH 44278
