night-shift staff had done to help reposition Resident #20 to prevent skin breakdown. DON confirmed
Resident #20 did not have any current skin conditions and the wedge limited his freedom of movement.
Further interview on 04/28/21 at 10:43 A.M., with DON confirmed Resident #20 was on hospice but
hospice staff did not place the wedge cushion. DON stated he interviewed night shift staff from the previous
night and they placed the wedge to assist Resident #20 with positioning as he could not tolerate laying flat
on his back. A restraint-enabler decision tree was completed. Staff were re-educated to utilize pillows for
positioning above the mattress as opposed to a wedge pillow below the mattress. DON confirmed Resident
#20 was observed lying on his back during the mutual observation, not positioned on his side as night shift
stated. DON confirmed Resident #20 required two person physical extensive assist to get out of bed and
one person extensive physical assist with bed mobility. DON stated during the Restraint-Enabler Decision
Tree assessment, revealed the wedge pillow use did not prevent Resident #20 from exiting the bed. DON
stated the intervention of the wedge pillow had never been discussed between himself and night shift staff.
He stated there was no documentation of when the intervention was implemented or who was notified the
intervention was implemented. DON stated Resident #20 was unable to remove the wedge pillow from
underneath his mattress. DON stated staff were never educated to use a wedge pillow under the mattress
for repositioning and it was not facility policy. He stated interventions were typically developed by nursing
management, not State Tested Nurse Aides. He stated the facility night shift staff were educated to not use
the wedge pillow under resident mattresses.
Review of a facility policy titled, Restraint Use, dated 06/20/15, revealed a physical restraints were defined
as any manual method of physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the
resident's body that the individual could not remove easily which restricted freedom of movement or normal
access to one's body.
Review of an undated checklist titled, Turing and Repositioning while in Bed, did not include placing a
wedge pillow under the mattress.

Not transfer or discharge a resident without an adequate reason; and must provide documentation and
convey specific information when a resident is transferred or discharged.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, review of Self-Reported Incident Report (SRI) and review of policy,
the facility failed to obtain the required documentation to discharge a resident form the facility. This affected
one (#149) of two residents reviewed for discharge from the facility. The facility census was 49.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #149's closed medical record revealed an admission date of 11/12/20 and readmitted
on [DATE]. The resident was discharged on 04/16/21. The resident's diagnoses included: chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, paranoid schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, depression, and
epilepsy.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had mild cognitive
impairment. Resident #149 was mobile though out the facility and required supervision for activities of daily
living.
Review of the Self-Reported Incident Report Form (SRI) tracking #205019 revealed on 04/16/21, Resident
#149 and another resident were involved in an altercation. The other resident was sitting in the dining room
in a chair Resident #149 routinely occupied. Resident #149 saw the other resident in his chair and pushed
the resident out of the chair onto the floor. The residents were immediately separated and monitored by
individual staff providing 1:1 supervision. Both residents were calm. Their physicians were notified, and
orders were received for precautionary measures to send both residents to the hospital for further
evaluation. The other resident was sent to the hospital in an ambulance. Resident #149 waited quietly with
the maintenance man until a local police officer arrived to escort Resident #149 to the hospital. The SRI
was investigated by facility Administrator. The Administrator concluded based on the investigation the
allegation of abuse or suspicion of abuse was unsubstantiated. The evidence did not indicate abuse
occurred. Both residents had cognitive impairment and were easily redirected following the incident.
Review of the physician's order dated 04/16/21 revealed an order to send the resident to emergency room
Stat for further evaluation. There were no physician orders to indicate Resident #149 could not return to the
facility or to support an Emergency Discharge from the facility.

physician to discharge Resident #149 from the facility. There was no documentation from the physician
regarding the reason for the transfer or discharge.
Review of the policy titled Discharge Process for Planned Discharges dated 04/30/18, revealed the facility
will obtain a physician's order for the discharge.
This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH00121908.
