F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review and interview, the facility failed to implement the use of a stop sign across a resident's room to deter wandering residents from entering her room. This affected one (Resident #29) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 46. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #29's medical record revealed diagnoses including dementia, need for assistance with personal care, and cognitive communication deficit. Review of a care plan initiated 01/14/14 indicated Resident #29 had a self care performance deficit with potential for fluctuations and/or decline related to dementia, forgetfulness and impaired decision making. The care plan was updated to initiate a stop sign to the doorway to deter wandering residents from entering starting 01/26/24. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #29 was able to make herself understood and was able to understand others. Resident #29 was assessed as being severely cognitively impaired. On 05/16/24 at 1:35 P.M., Resident #29 was observed lying in bed. A sign posted on the wall indicated a stop sign (a mesh sign that is velcroed to each side of a resident's door and indicates stop on the sign to deter residents from entering room uninvited). was to be used at all times. There was a stop sign present at the entrance of the room but it was not across the door. On 05/16/24 at 2:24 P.M. Resident #29 was lying in bed. The stop sign was not across the door. Both ends of the stop sign were attached to the left doorframe. Interview of State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #110, who was passing by, revealed the stop sign was initiated to keep Resident #47 (no longer residing at the facility) out of the room so the stop sign was not utilized. On 05/16/24 at 2:37 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #140 stated Resident #29's stop sign was initiated to deter wandering residents from entering her room. Although Resident #47 was no longer in the facility, the facility had another wandering resident, (Resident #31) but she seldom wandered into other resident rooms. LPN #140 verified the stop sign should have been in place and the LPN #140 hung the stop sign. On 05/20/24 at 10:58 A.M., Resident #29 was observed lying in bed. The stop sign was not across the door. Three unidentified staff members passed by the doorway without addressing it/placing the stop sign in the appropriate position. On 05/20/24 at 1:22 P.M., Resident #29 was observed lying in bed. The stop sign was not over the doorway. LPN #140 passed the room without addressing the stop sign.

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 medical record review, policy review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #18's family/responsible party and physician were notified when Resident #18 was located outside the facility unaccompanied by staff. This affected one (Resident #18) of three residents reviewed for elopement. The facility census was 46. Findings include: Review of Resident #18's open medical record revealed diagnoses including dementia with agitation, type two diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, major depressive disorder, muscle wasting, anxiety disorder, long term use of insulin, vitamin B12 deficiency, and acute angle-closure glaucoma in bilateral eyes. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #18 was moderately cognitively impaired with a score of nine out of a possible score of 15. The MDS indicated Resident #18 was able to make herself understood and was able to understand others. The assessment did not indicate any wandering during the specified time frame. Review of a wandering risk scale dated 12/15/23 revealed Resident #18 was assessed as a high risk to wander: The assessment revealed Resident #18 was ambulatory and able to communicate. Resident #18 had a history of wandering, had a medical diagnosis of dementia/cognitive impairment, had a diagnosis impacting gait/mobility or strength, and had wandered in the past month. The assessment indicated Resident #18 had often wandered around the facility stating she was going home. No interventions were noted on 12/15/23 when Resident #18 was assessed at high risk for wandering with knowledge that she was stating she wanted to go home. Review of a Brief Interview for Mental Status exam (BIMS) dated 01/23/24 revealed a score of three (out of a possible score of 15) indicating Resident #18 was severely cognitively impaired.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of incident reports, policy review, review of manufacturer information for wanderguards, and interview, the facility failed to ensure elopement interventions were implemented, wanderguards and exit doors were monitored to ensure appropriate functionality, and failed to ensure a comprehensive fall prevention program was implemented. This affected two (Residents #13 and #18) of six residents reviewed for falls and elopement. The census was 46. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #18's open medical record revealed diagnoses including dementia with agitation, type two diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, major depressive disorder, muscle wasting, anxiety disorder, long term use of insulin, vitamin B12 deficiency, and acute angle-closure glaucoma in bilateral eyes. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #18 was moderately cognitively impaired with a score of nine out of a possible score of 15. The MDS indicated Resident #18 was able to make herself understood and was able to understand others. The assessment did not indicate any wandering during the specified time frame. Review of a wandering risk scale assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #18 was assessed as a high risk to wander: The assessment revealed Resident #18 was ambulatory and able to communicate. Resident #18 had a history of wandering, had a medical diagnosis of dementia/cognitive impairment, had a diagnosis impacting gait/mobility or strength, and had wandered in the past month. The assessment indicated Resident #18 had often wandered around the facility stating she was going home. No interventions or care plan were noted on 12/15/23 when Resident #18 was assessed at high risk for wandering with knowledge that she was stating she wanted to go home. Review of a Brief Interview for Mental Status exam (BIMS) dated 01/23/24 revealed a score of three indicating Resident #18 was severely cognitively impaired. Review of a nursing note dated 03/04/24 at 6:13 P.M. revealed the nurse noted Resident #18 wandering outside on the patio after dinner. A wander guard was in place and functioning properly earlier in the shift and when Resident #18 was assisted back inside. The note indicated the physician was notified of Resident #18's exit seeking/elopement and the family request of anti- anxiety on an as needed basis. The daughter was notified. A care plan initiated 03/07/24 indicated Resident #18 was at risk of wandering/elopement with a goal for Resident #18's safety to be maintained. Interventions included identifying if there were triggers for wandering/eloping, identifying if there was a pattern and purpose of wandering, and identifying wandering/elopement de-escalation behaviors. A wandering risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #18 remained at high risk to wander. Risk factors were similar to the assessment done 12/15/23 with information added that Resident #18 had a wanderguard. A care plan initiated 03/18/24 indicated Resident#18 was combative with exit seeking behaviors. Interventions included anticipating and meeting Resident #18's needs, caregiver to provide the 366241 Page 8 of 26 366241 05/30/2024 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few opportunity for positive interactions and attention, explaining all procedures to the resident before starting and allowing Resident #18 to adjust to changes. If reasonable, discuss Resident #18's behavior and intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others. Monitor behavior episodes and attempt to determine underlying cause and praise progress and improvement in behavior. Another section of the care plan initiated 03/27/24 indicated Resident #18 was at risk for elopement related to wandering. A goal was added for Resident #18 to demonstrate happiness with daily routine through the review date. Interventions included assessing fall risk and distracting Resident #18 from wandering by offering pleasant diversions, structured activities, food, conversation, television and books Resident #18 preferred and identifying pattern of wandering : is wandering purposeful, aimless or escapist? Was Resident #18 looking for something? Did it indicate the need for more exercise? Intervene as appropriate. On 05/20/24 the care plan was updated with an intervention from 03/03/24 for a wanderguard to the walker. Review of an incident report dated 03/03/24 at 11:23 P.M. indicated Resident #18 was found outside the back of the building by housekeeping staff stating she was going home. No injuries were noted. The mental status portion of the incident report indicated Resident #18 was oriented to person only but was confused to place and time.

The note revealed the wander guard was functioning earlier in the shift when checked and when Resident #18 returned inside the wander guard alarmed. Resident #18 was oriented to person only. No injuries were observed. Resident #18 was ambulatory without assistance. No predisposing factors were noted. The physician was notified on 03/04/24 at 6:12 P.M. On 05/20/24 between 2:30 P.M. and 2:35 P.M., RN #100 verified there was no order or care plan regarding the use of a wanderguard. Observations with RN #100 revealed a wanderguard was present on Resident #18's walker. RN #100 stated wanderguards were monitored and staff signed off on the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) on resident orders. RN #100 verified with no physician order staff would be signing off monitoring of the wanderguard. RN #100 verified with RN #105 the TAR was the single place where staff would document monitoring of the placement and function of the wanderguard. On 05/20/24 at 2:43 P.M., Resident #18 was observed ambulating in the hall to the shower room with her walker. After Resident #18 entered the shower, RN #100 obtained her walker and took it to the front door to monitor its function and when the walker was taken closer to the front door, the door locked. It remained locked until the walker was taken to the nursing station and moved approximately half way down the side of the nursing station at which time the door lock released. RN #105, who was present at the nursing station, stated the wanderguard only worked at the front door. The other exit doors had a 15 second delayed release with alarms sounding when the doors were opened unless a code was put in. On 05/21/24 at 8:39 A.M., RN #100 stated the facility had been unable to locate any type of investigation/witness statements for the incidents on 03/03/24 or 03/04/24.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few risk for wandering in December 2023 no documented interventions, orders or care plans were located indicating action had been taken to address the risk related to wandering. No additional information was provided. On 05/21/24 at 5:21 P.M., State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #110 stated around December 2023 to January 2024 Resident #18 would state she wanted to go home. Prior to March 2024, Resident #18 had been observed hanging around the doors exit seeking. On 05/23/24 at 1:15 P.M., State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #120 stated Resident #18 would sometimes walk around her room without the walker but usually utilized the walker to ambulate longer distances. A couple weeks prior to the interview, she had observed Resident #18 pushing on the exit door at the end of the 100 hall, trying to open the door but was unsuccessful. STNA #120 stated she did not recall working on 03/03/24 and 03/04/24 when Resident #18 left the facility unaccompanied by staff or if she had she was not aware of it because it got so hectic. On 05/23/24 at 1:23 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #115 stated Resident #18 would sometimes walk a little bit without her walker. LPN #115 stated she was unaware Resident #18 had a wanderguard on her walker. LPN #115 stated Resident #18 would be able to ambulate from the nursing station to the front door without a walker.

RN #125 stated nobody had asked her for any additional details other than what she had reported. RN #125 stated she believed Resident #18 exited the facility out the door by the kitchen. RN #125 stated she was not sure if the door alarmed or if it was shut off. When Resident #18 was returned into the facility a wanderguard was placed on her ankle. RN #125 indicated she was unaware Resident #18 had her wanderguard placed on the walker currently. RN #125 stated she did not routinely check wanderguards after they were initially applied. RN #125 stated Resident #18 might be able to walk from the nursing station to the front door without her walker. On 05/23/24 at 2:38 P.M., the circumstances regarding Resident #18 being assessed with high risk for elopement in December 2023 with no interventions noted at that time, the lack of witness statements or an investigation regarding elopements, lack of documentation regarding the 03/03/24 elopement in progress notes and lack of evidence of monitoring the wanderguard after its implementation were discussed with the Administrator. The Administrator stated after the nurses reported the incidences to RN #200 she stated she would handle it from there and he believed she had followed up on it. When told of staff interviews indicating Resident #18 could ambulate short distances without the use of the walker and was asked if the wanderguard placed on the walker was the most desirable place for its effectiveness, the Administrator stated he had just discussed that with staff but Resident #18 was still out for her appointment. The Administrator stated if Resident #18 left the door which was indicated during the interview with RN #125 it would have had to been out the door to the back patio. The Administrator indicated he was not sure if the door was alarmed. It used to have a battery operated alarm but he would double check. On 05/23/24 at 3:15 P.M., observation of the door in the dining room near the kitchen revealed a white alarm box. There was no sound when RN #100 opened the door three times. The door led to a courtyard with a gate which could be opened without alarming. RN #125 accompanied RN #100 and the surveyor outside and revealed Resident #18 was located outside the fenced in area and she ambulated with her around the building before going back inside on 03/03/24. 366241 Page 10 of 26 366241 05/30/2024 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 05/23/24 at 3:17 P.M., the Administrator was informed no sound was heard when the door was opened. The Administrator responded the alarm did not sound at the door but there was a unit that alarmed at the nursing station. No alarming was heard at the nursing station and the Administrator confirmed he was unable to locate the box that he referred to. On 05/23/24 at 3:47 P.M., Resident #18 was sitting outside with staff for an activity, listening to music. A wanderguard was observed on her right wrist. On 05/23/24 at 4:22 P.M., activity staff #130 stated Resident #18 cycled in her attempts to leave the facility. Activity staff #130 stated Resident #18 would be consistent in trying to get out of the facility for a while then it would decrease in frequency. Some days Resident #18 was easily redirected but some days she was not. Activity staff #130 stated Resident #18 thought she had young children to get home to and that the behavior had been exhibited for a while. On 05/23/24 at 5:25 P.M., RN #135 who was identified as the nurse who worked during the elopement on 03/04/24, was interviewed via phone. RN #135 stated she could not recall if she heard an alarm when Resident #18 left the faciity on [DATE] before she observed her on the patio. RN #135 stated someone (she thought RN #200) had told her she saw a visitor let Resident #18 outside but was unable to answer why RN #200 would watch Resident #18 be let out of the facility and not go out and redirect her at that time or stay with her outside instead of waiting for RN #135 to observe her later. RN #135 stated it was around that time a technician had gone to the facility to check the door system and it was discovered several of the wanderguards at the nursing station were not functioning properly. The technician had to show her how to check the wanderguards. RN #135 stated she could not recall many details about that day. On 05/28/24 at 4:26 P.M., the Administrator stated the elopement on 03/03/24 occurred between 6:30 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. On 05/28/24 at 4:59 P.M. the Administrator stated he was unable to verify or find any written records for the last time the alarm on the dining room door was checked or monitored. Review of the facility's Elopement policy, dated March 2024 revealed elopement was the unsupervised wandering of a resident that resulted in the resident leaving the facility without notice or detection. The policy revealed at risk residents would be identified/assessed. Residents would be re-assessed at least quarterly. Educate staff to at risk status and interventions developed to reduce/prevent elopement. To safe guard at risk residents individualized interventions were to be developed and implemented. A care plan was to be completed for at risk residents with individualized interventions. Actual elopement occurrences were to be investigated, including determining the means of elopement and risk for repeated elopement. A quality assurance review was to be completed to determine similar opportunities/risks for elopement for other residents. Effectiveness of recommendations was to be monitored. Review of the accutech wanderguard manufacturer guidelines/instructions revealed recommendations to check the battery life once a week. 2. Review of Resident #13's medical record revealed diagnoses included right sided paralysis, muscle wasting, contracture of the right hand, heart failure, stiffness of the right shoulder, speech disturbance, history of falling and hypertension.

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. Based on medical record review, review of pharmacy recommendations, and interviews the facility failed to ensure pharmacy recommendations were acted upon timely. This affected four (Residents #10, #13, #34, and #40) of five residents reviewed for medication use. The facility census was 46. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #13's medical record revealed diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) affecting the right dominant side, rhabdomyolysis (condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly, contracture of the right hand, heart failure, benign prostatic hyperplasia (a condition in which the flow of urine is blocked due to the enlargement of prostate gland)., gastroesophageal reflux disease, stiffness of the right shoulder, speech disturbance, acquired absence of the spleen, history of falling, hypertension, and muscle wasting. Review or a medication regimen review dated 03/13/24 revealed a diagnosis was needed to support the use of risperidal (an antipsychotic medication). The physician response was blank. A physician order for risperidal 0.25 milligrams every day was written on 03/04/24. On 05/21/24 at 8:28 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #100 stated she had been unable to locate all the pharmacy reviews for the residents over the past six months so she had to contact pharmacy to get the reviews/recommendations resent to her and she was attempting to make sure the reviews had been addressed. RN #100 verified she had been unable to locate a diagnosis to justify the use of the risperidal. On 05/21/24 at 12:19 P.M., RN #100 stated the risperidal was originally started on 03/04/24 for behaviors. Resident #13 was followed by psychiatric services who indicated the risperidal was for behaviors. RN #100 verified she was unable to locate any information indicating an approved diagnosis for the use of antipsychotic medication or why the benefit of using risperidal would outweigh the risks. 2. Review of Resident #40's medical record revealed diagnoses including hypothyroidism and bipolar disorder. On 05/05/23 an order was written for synthroid 150 micrograms every day for hypothyroidism. Review of a pharmacy recommendation dated 11/26/23 addressed the use of synthroid with no Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level scheduled in the chart. The area for the physician response revealed no response. There was no TSH level observed in the medical record since 11/26/23. On 05/21/24 at 8:28 A.M., RN #100 stated the facility had no previous TSH order written since the pharmacy review on 11/26/23. The last TSH obtained was 12/20/22.

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some per deciliter (dL) of blood On 01/22/24, an order was written for levemir (long acting insulin) five units SQ every day. Review of the pharmacy review/recommendations since November 2023 revealed on 03/13/24 the pharmacy identified there was no order for an A1c level (test that measured average blood sugar levels over a two to three month period) although Resident #34 was receiving insulin. There were no A1c levels located since the review/recommendation. There was no physician response as the facility had to contact the pharmacy to provide pharmacy reviews since the reviews had not been available. On 05/21/24 at 8:28, RN #100 revealed the last A1c level she located was obtained 06/20/23 and the pharmacy recommendation had no been addressed. 4. Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed diagnoses including type two diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy and chronic peripheral insufficiency. Insulin orders included: On 12/27/23 novolog 100 u/ml SQ per sliding scale with insulin starting for a blood glucose level of 165 mg/dL (normal range from 60-100) and on 12/27/23 tresiba 100 u/ml: administer 60 units in the morning SQ. Review of a pharmacy recommendation dated 11/26/23 revealed Resident #10 was receiving insulin but did not have an A1c level scheduled in the chart. No response was documented by the physician. No A1c results were located in the medical record since the pharmacy review was completed on 11/26/23. On 05/21/24 at 8:28 A.M., RN #100 stated Resident #10's last A1c was drawn 04/13/23 and when she contacted the doctor about the pharmacy review the physician stated he had provided standing orders that indicated if a resident was receiving insulin they should be followed by obtaining A1c labs. On 05/21/24 at at 12:16 P.M., RN #100 indicated she had gotten copies of pharmacy recommendation for the past six months and was trying to ensure they were addressed. The RN verified she was unable to locate the reviews for the last six months.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. Based on medical record review, review of drug-related information on www.medscape.com, and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident had adequate indications for use of a psychotropic medication. This affected one (Resident #13) of five residents whose medications were reviewed. The facility census was 46. Findings include: Review of Resident #13's medical record revealed diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) affecting the right dominant side, rhabdomyolysis (condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly)., contracture of the right hand, heart failure, BPH (a condition in which the flow of urine is blocked due to the enlargement of prostate gland)., gastroesophageal reflux disease, stiffness of the right shoulder, speech disturbance, acquired absence of the spleen, history of falling, hypertension, and muscle wasting. A physician order for risperidal (anti-psychotic) 0.25 milligrams every day was written on 03/04/24. On 05/21/24 at 8:28 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #100 stated she located a diagnosis of dementia to support the use of risperidal. RN #100 verified dementia was not an acceptable indication for use of risperidal. On 05/21/24 at 12:19 P.M., RN #100 stated the risperidal was originally started on 03/04/24 for behaviors, Resident #13 was followed by psychiatric services and an unsuccessful attempt at a gradual dose reduction had been attempted. RN #100 verified she was unable to locate any information indicating why the benefits of use of the risperidal would outweigh the risks. Review of risperidal information on the Medscape web-site revealed a black box warning for the use of risperidal. The warning indicated risperidal was not approved for elderly residents with dementia-related psychosis. Elderly residents with dementia-related psychosis who were treated with antipsychotic drugs were at increased risk of death. Deaths in trials appeared to be either cardiovascular or infectious in nature. Review of additional information about risperidal revealed a risk of orthostatic hypotension being higher in the elderly with its use. 366241 Page 17 of 26 366241 05/30/2024 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953

This affected five residents (Resident #1, #21, #33, #45 and #48) of 46 residents with medications secured in the two facility identified medication carts. Findings include. 1. While observing the 100/200 hall medication cart with Registered Nurse (RN) #135 on 05/16/24 at 1:38 P.M., Resident #21 had two bottles of opened humalog insulin. The insulin was not dated as to when it was opened. RN #135 stated the insulin vials were transferred with Resident #21 from another facility upon admission so she did not know how long they had been opened. Review of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) revealed Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Medscape information on humalog insulin revealed open vials could be stored/used for up to 28 days after opening the vial. 2. While observing the 100/200 hall medication cart with Registered Nurse #135 on 05/16/24 at 1:38 P.M., Resident #1 was observed to have earwax removal solution opened on 03/21/24 with a label indicated the order was for a limited time. RN #135 stated once the order had been fulfilled, the earwax removal solution should have been discarded. 3. While observing the 100/200 hall medication cart with Registered Nurse #135 on 05/16/24 at 1:38 P.M., an inhaler with only the last name of Resident #48 was observed in the medication cart with no label. RN #135 stated the label would have been on the box. The empty box must have been sent with Resident #48 upon discharge. Review of the EHR revealed Resident #48 discharged from the facility 05/14/24. 4. During observations of the 300/400 medication cart with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #140 on 05/16/24 at 1:50 P.M., she verified Resident #35's athlete's foot cream and triamcinolone cream, Resident #33's lotrisone cream, Resident #45's nystatin topical powder, and two additional topical creams she had removed from the cart were stored with residents' oral medications. None of the pills were observed to be contaminated by the creams. During an interview on 05/21/24 at 3:34 P.M., RN #100 stated the policy for storing medications was not specific but creams should be in the treatment cart, not with medications. Insulin was to be stored in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.

Residents Affected - Some Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment completed on 05/01/24 revealed Resident #47 had severely intact cognition. Further review of the MDS revealed Resident #47 was dependent for toileting, bathing, dressing, and personal care and required substantial assistance for toilet and tub transfers. The MDS assessment also revealed Resident #47 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Review of the care plan dated 01/15/24 revealed Resident #47 had an activities of daily living (ADL) self-care deficit related to impaired cognition, risk for falls, incontinence, impaired communication, and status post hospitalization due to multiple respiratory infections. Interventions included adjusting the level of support during the provision of Resident 47's ADL according to his changing abilities, cleaning and trimming nails on scheduled bath days, and providing Resident #47 a sponge bath in the event he is unable to tolerate a full bath or shower. Review of the care plan further revealed Resident #47 had bladder incontinence. Interventions included cleaning his perineal area with each episode of incontinence and monitoring and documenting any signs of urinary tract infection or changes in urinary frequency. Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 03/29/24 for Resident #47 to have incontinence checks every one hour every day and every night. Review of bathing records for Resident #47 revealed no documentation of bathing during the last 30 days of his facility stay from 04/02/24 through 04/10/24, from 04/17/24 through 04/24/24, or from 04/27/24 through discharge date of 05/01/24.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to provide evidence of infection control surveillance and failed to implement proper hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during care of a feeding tube. This affected Residents #3 and #22 and had the potential to affect all residents. The facility census was 46. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: 1. During an entrance conference with the Administrator on 05/16/24 at 12:51 P.M., a request was made for infection control surveillance logs for the past three months. On 05/16/24 at 4:50 P.M., the Administrator stated he could not locate evidence of infection control logs since February 2024. Registered Nurse (RN) #200 kept the information on her personal ipad and her employment had ended on 05/15/24 and no records were available. On 05/20/24 at 8:04 A.M., RN #100 stated since the facility had been unable to locate infection control logs/surveillance she had calls out to the pharmacy to get antibiotic reports and was looking at orders in medical records. On 05/21/24 at 9:15 A.M., RN #100 carried some papers with her and stated she had some infection control sheets through February 2024 but could find nothing since then. When infections were discussed in risk meetings she did not recall RN #200 (the previous infection control preventionist) discussing evaluation of any trends or any action needed taken so RN #100 could not speak to evaluation of gathered information. RN #100 stated when she completed Minimum Data Set assessments she reviewed anybody on antibiotics to ensure they met McGeer's criteria for coding purposes but that was not documented either. On 05/23/24 at 2:38 P.M., the Administrator reported the facility had requested the infection surveillance records from RN #200 and was told she left everything at the facility except what had been on her Macbook and she had deleted all of it. 2. During medication administration observations on 05/20/24 at 5:10 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse #170 dropped four pills on the cart while attempting to pour them from a plastic sleeve into a medication cup. LPN #170 used her bare hands to pick up two of the pills to put them back into the cup and stated she should not have done that. LPN #170 donned gloves to pick up the other two pills and placed them in the medication cup. After adding additional medications to the cup, all the medications were administered to Resident #22. 3. Review of the Medical record for Resident #3 revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur, interstitial pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, protein-calorie malnutrition, anorexia, cachexia, dehydration, adult failure to thrive, and gastrostomy status. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #3 had severely impaired cognition. Further review of the MDS revealed Resident #3 had a feeding tube and received 51% or more of her calories from tube feedings. 366241 Page 24 of 26 366241 05/30/2024 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of the care plan dated 05/17/24 revealed Resident #3 the potential for nutritional problems related to tube feedings, adult failure to thrive, COPD, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, anorexia/cachexia, hypothyroidism, potential for altered fluid status, edentulous, hypokalemia, depression, variable oral intake, and the need for nutrition support and therapeutic diet. Interventions included providing enteral feedings and supplements as ordered. Residents Affected - Many Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 05/16/24 for Resident #3's percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube (a surgically placed tube into the stomach of the resident for nutrition) to be flushed with 135 milliliters (ml) of water four times a day. Further review of the orders revealed an order dated 04/22/24 for enhanced barrier precautions instructing staff to wear a gown and gloves when providing device care or using devices, including a feeding tube. Review of the care plan dated 05/17/24 revealed Resident #3 the potential for nutritional problems related to tube feedings, adult failure to thrive, COPD, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, anorexia/cachexia, hypothyroidism, potential for altered fluid status, edentulous, hypokalemia, depression, variable oral intake, and the need for nutrition support and therapeutic diet. Interventions included providing enteral feedings and supplements as ordered. Observation on 05/21/24 at 12:12 P.M. of licensed practical nurse (LPN) #115 administering Resident #3's water flush revealed LPN #115 did not don a gown and did not wash her hands prior to donning gloves and starting the procedure. Further observation revealed LPN #115 paused the procedure after blousing 100 ml of water to obtain more water from Resident #3's bathroom sink to flush through the PEG tube. During this observation, no glove change or hand hygiene was performed as LPN #115 manipulated the sink faucet, refilled the graduate (plastic container used for measuring liquids) with water, and proceeded to administer another bolus of water through Resident #3's PEG tube. Interview on 05/21/24 at 12:18 P.M. with LPN #115 confirmed she did not perform hand hygiene prior to the water bolus via Resident #3's PEG tube. An additional interview conducted on 05/21/24 with LPN #115 at 3:40 P.M. confirmed her typical practice does not include donning a gown when providing tube feedings or rendering feeding tube care and that she had no gown on when she flushed Resident #3's PEG tube with water. Review of the policy dated 03/18/15, titled Hand Hygiene/Washing, revealed hands were to be washed thoroughly before and after providing direct resident care to reduce the transmission of organisms from nursing staff to resident and vice-versa. Review of the policy titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions, dated 03/27/24, revealed use of standard precautions, as well as donning a gown, was required for high contact resident care activities which included use or care of a feeding tube. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00152953. 366241 Page 25 of 26 366241 05/30/2024 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0882 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program in the nursing home. Based on review of infection surveillance records and interview, the facility failed to ensure a minimum of one individual was qualified to perform the job of an infection preventionist. This had the potential to affect all 46 residents. Findings include: During the entrance conference with the Administrator on 05/16/24 at 12:51 P.M., he reported the Director of Nursing (DON) who had also been assigned as the facility's Infection Preventionist (IP) had a last day of employment at the facility on 05/15/24. On 05/21/24 at 9:15 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #100 verified the facility had no other staff member who had completed specialized training in infection prevention and control to serve as the IP. 366241 Page 26 of 26
