This survey cited 9 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0577 Allow residents to easily view the nursing home's survey results and communicate with advocate agencies. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on observation, medicare health inspection report review, survey inspection review and interview, the facility failed to ensure state survey results were readily accessible for review including the most recent survey of the facility. This had the potential to affect all 45 residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: Review of the Medicare website: Facility Health and Complaint Inspection Data revealed the facility's most recent health inspection was completed on 09/23/22 and complaint inspections were completed on 03/13/23, 05/04/23, 02/06/24, and 04/04/24. On 06/25/24 at 3:35 P.M., observation of the facility posting corkboard located across from the activity room leading towards the 100 and 200 halls revealed required postings including resident right information and the most recent federal Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction survey results. The most recent posted health inspection (annual) survey results dated 09/23/22 did not include the facility's plan of correction. Other survey type results posted were dated 12/05/19 through 05/04/23. No other survey results were posted for review after the survey completed 05/04/23. On 06/26/24 at 10:50 A.M., observation of the main office/receptionist area with Scheduling Coordinator #94 revealed a table against the wall which included an unlabeled green binder and a clipboard standing upright between two bookends. Review of the unlabeled binder revealed survey results dated 09/23/22 without the written facility plan of correction. No survey results after 09/23/22 were available for review in the green binder. On 06/26/24 at 10:59 A.M., observation with Business Office Manager (BOM) #166 revealed the most recent survey results posted in the leading to the 100 and 200 halls was dated 05/04/23 and the most recent survey results for review in the receptionist area was dated 09/23/22. BOM #166 verified the facility had not posted the survey results for the complaint investigations completed on 03/13/23, 02/06/24 or 04/04/24. This deficiency represents an incidental finding of non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00154718, Complaint Number OH00154465 and Complaint Number OH00154365. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. 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, resident right posting review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure resident mail was delivered unopened. This affected two residents (#79 and #91) of five sampled residents. The census was 45. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #79 was admitted on [DATE] and Resident #91 was admitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident #79's quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] and Resident #91's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the residents were cognitively intact for daily decision-making. On 06/25/24 at 3:35 P.M., observation of the facility required postings revealed residents had the right to have mail delivered unopened. On 06/26/24 between 9:53 A.M. and 10:05 A.M., interview with Resident #79 revealed her mail was opened in May 2024 by staff without her permission.

LED #126 stated the facility had not informed Resident #91 or her daughter of this but would notify her today. LED #126 verified residents had the right to receive unopened mail and resident mail should only be opened when permission was given. On 06/27/24 at 10:03 A.M., interview with Charge Nurse #108 stated she has delivered mail to residents when needed and verified she had opened Resident #79's mail and retail store package. Charge Nurse #108 stated she was instructed to do so because the box sounded like there was a bottle of pills in it. Charge Nurse #108 verified she opened the package without the resident's permission. Charge Nurse #108 would not say who instructed her to open the package but verified she should have had permission before opening the resident's mail. Charge Nurse #108 stated Resident #79 was upset when this happened and the resident was very particular with her things including her mail.
