F 0679 Provide activities to meet all resident's needs. 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.

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.

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.

F 0679 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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.

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.

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.

Residents Affected - Many Review of the facility's Administering Medications policy (revised December 2012) revealed staff were required to follow established facility infection control procedures (e.g. handwashing, antiseptic technique, gloves, isolation precautions, etc) for the administration of medications. 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 medication administration, and to have signage indicating Resident #23 required reverse isolation protocol.
