Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, policy review, observations, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure activities
were provided in accordance with resident preferences. This affected one (Resident #21) of 15 residents
interviewed and/or observed for activity participation. This also had the potential to affect 20 of 23 residents
who resided at the facility when scheduled activities were known to be of no interests to any of the
residents and/or were placed on the activity schedule with the knowledge the activity was an individual and
not group based activity. (Residents #10, family of Resident #19 and Resident #77 indicated they were not
interested in group activities regardless of what might be offered.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #21's medical record revealed diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, severe protein-calorie malnutrition, generalized muscle weakness, hypertension, anxiety disorder,
and major depressive disorder.
An annual Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #21 was able to make
herself understood, was able to understand others and was cognitively intact. The activities portion of the
MDS indicated it was somewhat important for Resident #21 to be around animals such as pets. It was very
important for Resident #21 to do things with groups of people, do her favorite activities, and go outside to
get fresh air when the weather was good.
Review of Resident #21's activities annual participation review dated 06/06/24 indicated Resident #21
enjoyed both independent and group activities. Resident #21 enjoyed playing bingo, watching television,
spending time with family and friends, socializing with other residents, having special treats, sitting outside
and doing puzzles. The review indicated activity-related focuses remained appropriate.
Review of Resident #21's activity participation log for May 2024 revealed active participation in bingo up to
three times a week, two visits with family/friends, watching television and socializing, participation with
treats/eating activities five times and passive participation in a sing along once.
Review of Resident #21's June activity participation log revealed participation in bingo three times a week,
going to the beauty shop once, two family/friend visits, attending resident council, watching television and
socializing every day, participating in yard games once and treats three times.
During an interview on 07/22/24 at 8:51 A.M., Resident #21 stated she participated in bingo which was
offered three times a week but that was the only group activities the facility had scheduled.

Once in while she would go outside and sit on the patio. Resident #21 stated she believed the facility was
trying to find someone to do activities. Resident #21 stated she would like more activities offered.
Resident #21 was observed actively participating in bingo on 07/22/24 at 2:57 P.M. playing bingo with three
other residents and on 07/24/24 at 2:15 P.M.
Residents Affected - Some
Observations on 07/23/24 at 7:55 A.M. and 07/24/24 at 7:36 A.M., 10:46 A.M., and 12:37 P.M. revealed
Resident #21 was in her room with the television on but sometimes watching the hallway. No facility initiated
activities were observed during those times. On 07/25/24 at 7:43 A.M., Resident #21 was noted sitting in
her bed feeding herself. Her face became more animated while talking about playing bingo the previous
day.
During an interview on 07/24/24 beginning at 9:53 A.M., Activity Director #112 reviewed Resident #21's
activity preferences from the MDS, activity calendars and activity participation logs with the surveyor.
Activity Director #112 acknowledged Resident #21 had reported it was somewhat important for her to be
around animals such as pets. Activity Director #112 stated there had been on animal related activities since
April when somebody had taken pet pigs to the facility to visit residents. When discussing that Resident #21
had indicated it was very important to do things with groups of people, Activity Director #112 reviewed the
activity calendar and verified multiple activities were either not pertinent because no residents had
expressed interest, pertained to only one or two residents, or were available for residents to do as individual
activities. Activity Director #112 stated Resident #21's favorite activity was bingo. Activity Director #112
stated although there was only documentation of activity of yard games once in the past three months (July
activity participation logs were requested but not provided because they were not filled out) Resident #21
would sit outside on the patio at times.
2. Review of resident council meeting minutes from January 2024 to June 2024 revealed on 02/15/24
residents reported they would like more movie nights and exercise activities. The 04/18/24 meeting notes
revealed notes that the facility would be doing movie night around 3 P.M. instead of later in the evening.
(The July 2024 activity calendar had Exercise Saturday and walking Wednesday scheduled each week no
movie nights.)
On 07/22/24 at 9:22 A.M. Resident #77 stated he was not at all interested in participating in activities. He
was admitted for short term therapy and administration of intravenous medications.
On 07/22/24 at 9:37 A.M., Resident #10 stated the only activities the facility offered was bingo. However,
she was not interested in participating in any activities and had no suggestions as to activities she might be
interested in if offered.
07/22/24 2:12 P.M. Resident #19's daughter reported Resident #19 had difficulty hearing even with hearing
aids and difficulty seeing even with glasses. Attempts to participate in group activities increased anxiety and
overwhelmed Resident #19 who preferred not to participate
On 07/24/24 starting at 9:53 A.M., the July 2024 activity calendar was reviewed with Activity Director #112.
The activity calendar indicated three to four activities were scheduled each day with bingo scheduled at
2:00 P.M. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Some of the activities scheduled included one on one
visits, leisure time, puzzles and activity packets. Activity Director #112 stated she started her position at the

Residents Affected - Some
previous calendars. Activity Director #112 stated one person had requested movie nights but she was the
only one who participated and one resident had requested an open therapy gym. No other residents had
made suggestions. When asked about the puzzles on the activity calendar, Activity Director #112 stated
there were two residents with puzzle tables in their rooms and once in a while a few residents would gather
and work on the puzzles. Activity Director #112 stated the leisure time on the activity calendar was for
residents to obtain papers which she left up front on a bulletin board and do independently. The brain
teasers activity was also papers available up front and can be obtained for residents to do individually. The
board games activity was also a resident generated activity. There were board games in the activity room
which residents could use. Exercise Saturday was supposed to be provided by nursing. Activity Director
#112 indicated she did was not aware what the activity consisted of and was not 100% sure it was
provided. The Walking Wednesdays activity was provided by a person from psychiatric services who did
laps around the facility with residents. The music hour activity consisted of a radio in the dining room which
sometimes would be turned on but one of the residents did not care for it so it was not consistent. Group
activities that were included in the calendar were bingo, resident council meetings and snacks/treats.
During a meeting between a state surveyor and resident council on 07/24/24 at 1:29 P.M., three (Residents
#3, #14, and #21) indicated they would like to have more activities offered but did not wish to pursue the
matter because it would take away from Activity Director #112's other duties. Resident #17, who also
attended, indicated she preferred individual activities.
On 07/24/24 at 2:01 P.M., Therapeutic Behavioral Support (TBS) Specialist #200 (identified as the person
from the psychiatric services who provided the Walking Wednesday activity) stated she worked with 15
residents at the facility to provide coping skills and mental health services. TBS Specialist #200 stated she
only ambulated around the facility with Resident #14 because walking was one of her coping skills and
helped promote body self image for her. TBS Specialist #200 stated while she visited she would try to
engage residents in activities to help with coping skills. TBS Specialist #200 stated Activity Director #112
did not always have time to do both social service responsibilities and activities and the facility's budget did
not really allow for more activities or staff. TBS Specialist #200 stated she did believe residents could
benefit from more activities.
Review of the facility's Activity Programs policy (revised August 2006) indicated the activity programs were
designed to encourage maximum individual participation and were geared to the individual resident's
needs. The activity programs consisted of individual and small and large group activities that were designed
to meet the needs and interests of each resident and include, at a minimum:
1. activities that stimulated the cardiovascular system and assisted with range of motion offered five to
seven times a week
2. intellectual activities that were mentally stimulating five to seven times a week
3. weather permitting, at least one activity a month is head away from the facility
4. weather permitting, outdoor activities were held on a regular basis
5. At least one evening activity was offered per week depending on population needs
6. spiritual programming was scheduled to meet the religious needs of the residents

was qualified to direct the facility activities program. This had the potential to affect all 23 residents in the
facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of the personnel file for Activities Director #112, who also served as the facility's Social Services
Designee, revealed a hire date of 10/29/22. There was no evidence of completion of a certification or
training program for leading activities programs in long term care centers.
On 07/23/24 at 1:20 P.M., an interview with the Administrator stated Activities Director #112 was the only
activities staff for the facility.
On 07/23/24 at 2:17 P.M., an interview with Human Resources Director #114 stated Activities Director #112
began her role as the facility's Activities Director on 02/15/24 and she was unsure what training was
provided. The Administrator, who was standing nearby, stated Activities Director #112 was trained by the
former staff member who previously filled that role.
On 07/23/24 at 2:37 P.M., an interview with the Administrator stated the only training Activities Director
#112 had prior to taking over the role of Activities Director was a one week training led by the former staff
member who previously filled that role.
On 07/23/24 at 3:08 P.M., an interview with the Administrator stated Activities Director #112 had not yet
been enrolled in a activities professional training program because the facility was looking for the cheapest
option for completing the training.
On 07/23/24 at 3:34 P.M., an interview with the Administrator stated she was unaware that Activities
Director #112 was hired with the contingency that oversight would be provided by a qualified activities
professional until Activities Director #112 had completed the required trainings. She verified Activities
Director #112 had not received the required oversight for the activities programs at the facility.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, review of physician orders/medication administration records, policy review, and
interview, the facility failed to ensure a medication rate of less than 5 percent (%). Two errors were identified
out of 25 opportunities for error resulting in a 8% medication error rate. This affected one resident (Resident

check the label three times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right
route of administration before giving the medication. The individual administering the medication must initial
the resident's MAR on the appropriate line after giving each medication and before administering the next

Conduct and document a facility-wide assessment to determine what resources are necessary to care for
residents competently during both day-to-day operations (including nights and weekends) and
emergencies.
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to conduct an annual review of the facility
assessment between January 2023 and July 2024. This had the potential to affect all 23 residents in the
facility.
Findings include:
Review of the facility assessment revealed it was last reviewed on 01/26/23, indicating it had not been
reviewed in 18 months. In addition, the facility assessment indicated the facility's social worker would be
licensed by the State of Ohio.
On 07/24/24 at 9:45 A.M., an interview with the Administrator verified the facility assessment had not been
reviewed since 01/26/23 and stated she was working on the new format for the 2024 facility assessment.
She also verified that the list of people responsible for reviewing the assessment annually was inaccurate
because the listed Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator, and
resident representative were no longer at the facility.

Review of the facility's Handwashing/Hand Hygiene policy (revised August 2015) revealed all personnel
shall follow the handwashing/hand hygiene procedures to help prevent the spread of infections to other
personnel, residents and visitors. Staff were instructed to use an alcohol-based hand rub containing at least
62% alcohol, or, alternatively, soap and water for situations such as before and after direct contact with
resident and after contact with objects in the immediate vicinity of the resident.
Based on record review, observations, interviews, and review of facility policies, the facility failed to record
tuberculin skin test results for all new employees upon hire, ensure staff perform hand hygiene during

not recorded.
Review of the facility policy titled Guidelines for Skin Testing for Potential New Employees, not dated,
revealed all new employees would be screened for tuberculosis, new employees who did not have results of
a two-step tuberculin skin test completed within the past one year would undergo the first step skin test
before beginning employment and a second step seven to 10 days after the first step was administered,
and a written report of test results would be maintained in the employee file.
