Review of an Orthopedic Surgery Operative Report, dated 10/11/23, revealed the right proximal femur fracture was surgically repaired without complications. Review of Self-Reported Incidents, located in the Certification and Licensure System (CALS), revealed the facility did not report Resident #23's right femur fracture as an injury of unknown origin to the state agency.
Residents Affected - Few Interview on 10/31/23 at 10:58 A.M. with Resident #23 revealed her leg and hip hurt her prior to going to the hospital, but stated she had chronic pain and was unable to decipher between new and existing pain. Resident #23 revealed she did not know how the fracture occurred and confirmed she did not have a fall or another injury at the facility. Resident revealed she had surgery at the hospital and was on a pain medication to help control pain. Interview on 10/31/23 at 11:45 A.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #135 revealed she did not have any documentation of how Resident #23 sustained the right femur fracture and did not know if it occurred at the facility or at the hospital. Interview on 10/31/23 at 4:20 P.M. with the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and ADON #135 verified the facility did not report Resident #23's right femur fracture as an injury of unknown origin to the state agency because, although the resident complained of right leg pain prior to going to the hospital, it could not be proven Resident #23's fracture occurred at that facility, therefore, they would not need to report it as an injury of unknown origin. 2. Review of Resident #84's medical record revealed an admission date of 12/30/20. Diagnoses included epilepsy, dementia, macular degeneration, anxiety, psychoactive substance abuse, and muscle weakness.

staff as well as Social Service Director (SSD) #183, who reported to the Administrator. The Administrator revealed staff spoke with Resident #31 regarding the situation and since Resident #84 did not report concerns and did not report being uncomfortable with the situation, he did not feel it needed to be reported to the state agency. The Administrator reviewed the incident report completed by staff and confirmed Resident #84 stated it made me feel uncomfortable.
Residents Affected - Few Review of facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation, Mistreatment and Misappropriation of Resident Property, dated 11/28/17, revealed injuries of unknown origin included injuries that were not observed by any person or could not be explained by the resident and the injury is suspicious because of the extent of the injury or location of the injury.

This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00147259.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Interview on 10/31/23 at 11:45 A.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #135 revealed she did not have any documentation indicating where Resident #23's injury/fracture occurred, whether at the facility or after her transfer to the hospital.
Residents Affected - Few Interview on 10/31/23 at 4:01 P.M. with the Administrator revealed the facility was under the impression Resident #23's right femur fracture occurred while hospital staff were providing care to her. The Administrator was unable to state where this information came from and had no evidence the fracture occurred after Resident #23 was transferred to the hospital. Interview on 10/31/23 at 4:20 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Administrator, and ADON #135 confirmed the physician saw Resident #23 on 10/09/23, prior to her hospitalization. While Resident #23 complained of uncontrolled and increased pain in her right lower extremity, it could not be proven Resident #23 had a fracture at the facility and, therefore, they were not required to initiate an investigation for an injury of unknown origin. After further discussion, the Administrator verified an injury of unknown origin was defined as an injury with unknown cause, which was why they needed to be reported and investigated. The DON stated if it was that big of a concern, the hospital should have reported the injury of unknown origin. Review of facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation, Mistreatment and Misappropriation of Resident Property, dated 11/28/17, revealed injuries of unknown origin included injuries that occurred when the source of the injury was not observed by any person or could not be explained by the resident, and the injury is suspicious because of the extent of the injury or location or the number of injuries over time. The abuse policy indicated injuries of unknown origin shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00147259.

Provide each resident with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his or her daily nutritional and special dietary needs.
Based on review of physician orders, observations, resident interviews, staff interviews, and review of dietary spreadsheets, the facility failed to provide therapeutic diets according to physician order. This affected two (#51 and #28) of three residents reviewed for diabetic (carbohydrate consistent - CCD) diet orders, with the potential to affect 19 (#2, #5, #8, #10, #13, #16, #18, #22, #31, #38, #40, #42, #45, #48, #53, #69, #78, #80, and #89) additional residents identified by the facility with physician ordered CCD diets. The facility census was 84.
Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #51's medical record revealed an admission date of 10/27/23. Diagnoses included hypotension, muscle weakness, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and muscle atrophy. Review of current physician orders revealed Resident #51 was ordered a carbohydrate consistent (CCD) diet with no added salt.

Resident #51 stated she believed she received the same food items and portions as non-diabetic residents. Concurrent observation, with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #203, verified Resident #51 was served a full plate of fettuccine alfredo with chicken, a scoop of broccoli, two slices of garlic bread, and a berry crumble dessert. 2. Review of Resident #28's medical record revealed an admission date of 08/29/23. Diagnoses included diabetes, encephalopathy, heart disease, diabetic foot ulcer, and heart failure.

Interview of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #150 verified the meal served to Resident #28. Interview on 11/01/23 at 1:10 PM with Dietary Manager (DM) #155 revealed staff were trained about therapeutic diets and should be honoring therapeutic and physician ordered diets. Review of the dietary spreadsheet with DM #155 revealed residents on a CCD diet should have received a half portion of garlic bread and a fruit cup instead of the berry crumble dessert. DM #155 was not aware CCD ordered diets should have received a half portion of garlic bread and a fruit cup instead of the berry crumble dessert. DM #155 verified residents on a CCD diet were served full portion sizes of all foods and received the regular dessert instead of the fruit cup indicated on the spreadsheet. Interview on 11/01/23 at 3:00 P.M. with Registered Dietician (RD) #209 verified the lunch meal served did not match the dietary spreadsheet for CCD ordered diets and confirmed facility should be following the resources they had to ensure proper meals were provided. Facility was unable to provide a policy related to providing resident therapeutic diets as ordered.
