F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of invoices, and interview, the facility failed to provide a comfortable, clean environment for residents when there was a pervasive smell of sewage in the facility shower room which carried into the hallway. This affected five residents (#2, #14, #28, #18, and #24) identified as using the shower room. The facility census was 46.Findings include:On 02/17/26 at 9:42 A.M., an observation of the facility shower room revealed an overwhelming odor of sewage, which caused the surveyor's eyes to water. The hallway nearest to the shower room also smelled of sewage, though not as strong. This was confirmed at the time of the observation by the Maintenance Director (MD).On 02/17/26 at 9:45 A.M., an interview with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #164 revealed she knew there were at least three residents who used the shower. She revealed at times, even with the door closed, the odor of Sulphur would come into the hallway. She did not think anyone knew what was wrong with it.On 02/17/26 at 9:48 A.M., an interview with Resident #18 revealed he had been at the facility for three years, and the smell had been there since he got there. He reported one time the facility dumped bleach into the drain and there was some improvement, however, it had just gotten worse lately. He stated, It is f**cking nasty, and I hate to have to get a shower in there, but what option do I have?On 02/17/26 at 9:42 A.M., an interview with the MD revealed the smell in the shower room was about normal. He reported the smell was always there. He indicated plumbers had been to the facility to look at the situation; however, they told him there was nothing wrong. He reported that no residents use the shower during the day, it was only used on night shift, and housekeeping was able to come to the shower room and clean it during the day, which would help mitigate the odor.On 02/17/26 at 3:00 P.M., an interview with the Maintenance Director revealed the plumbing service had returned and checked the shower room on that day. He reported the plumber told him there was nothing wrong with the plumbing.On 02/17/26 at 12:48 P.M., an interview with Plumber #400 revealed his company had been to the facility on at least two occasions, including the day of survey to inspect the sewer smell coming from the shower room. He indicated on the first visit the plumber advised the MD there was a leak in the toilet in the shower room. They advised him the toilet needed pulled, a new seal and new bolts needed to be placed on the toilet. If this was not done, every time a toilet was flushed in the facility, the sewage odor would escape through the leaking toilet in the shower room.Plumber #400 reported his crew returned to the facility on [DATE] and found the issue had not been corrected. The technician advised the MD told them he knew what needed completed on the toilet, and he told them he probably should have completed the work the last time the plumbers advised him of this.On 02/19/26 at 12:17 P.M., an interview with an anonymous family member revealed any time their family member went to the shower room it was dirty. They reported it smelled like plain old sewage, and looked like it was never cleaned. There was always hair and debris in the drains. This had been happening for several months.Review of invoices from the contracted Page 1 of 6 366087 366087 02/19/2026 Vista Center, The 100 Vista Drive Lisbon, OH 44432

F 0804 Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, sampled test tray, and interview the facility failed to provide palatable meals at preferred temperatures to residents. This had the potential to affect all 46 residents who received meals from the kitchen. The facility census was 46. Findings include: Interview on 02/17/26 at 9:42 A.M. with Resident #126 revealed food is sometimes cold and believes it is due to being at the very end of the 100 Hall and last to be served. Residents Affected - Many Interview on 02/17/26 at 11:51 A.M. with Resident #32 revealed food is often cold or warm but not hot.
