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, review of self-reported incidents, resident and staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to prevent misappropriation of resident funds. This affected one (#40) of one resident reviewed for misappropriation. The facility census was 55.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #40 was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, dysphagia, chronic kidney disease stage three, and major depressive disorder recurrent. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/31/24, revealed the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. Review of Self-Reported Incident (SRI) #242873, created 01/08/24 and completed on 01/12/24, revealed the Administrator was notified by Resident #40's financial administrator the resident's credit card was taken and used to make in person purchases at three stores (grocery and gas stations) within the area of the facility and many of the purchases were for lottery. Resident #40 denied making the purchases and the resident's financial administrator verified the purchases were not normal purchases made by the resident. The credit card was reported to the bank fraud department and the card was canceled. The local police department was called and a police officer came to the facility to take a report. The facility was informed the case would be given to a detective. On 01/09/24, the Administrator met with the detective and was asked to not share information with the suspect or facility staff until he had the opportunity to bring the suspect in for questioning. The Administrator informed the detective the employee would need to be suspended pending investigation. The detective stated he would be contacting the Ohio Board of Nursing. The complaint was found unsubstantiated due to inconclusive evidence, with abuse/neglect/misappropriation suspected. Further review of SRI #242873 revealed Resident #40 did not authorize anyone to use her credit card. The credit card statement had unauthorized charges posted from three stores (gas and grocery). The unauthorized charges totaled approximately $5,000.00 and included 31 charges for $100 each for the state lottery. The alleged perpetrator, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #300, had been a facility employee since 2019 and the last date worked was 01/09/24. LPN #300 resigned on 01/18/24. The SRI included correspondence with the Ohio Board of Nursing and Ohio Department of Health. Interview on 04/24/24 at 11:43 A.M. with the Administrator revealed at the time SRI #242873 was submitted the facility did not have all of the information and otherwise would have substantiated the

Review of policy, Fall Risk Assessment, revised 09/07/21, verified the facility will provide an environment that is free from accident hazards over which the facility has control and provides supervision and assistance devices to each resident to prevent avoidable accidents. An at risk for falls care plan will be completed for each resident to address each item identified on the risk assessment and will be updated accordingly. The care plan will include interventions to reduce the risk and the interventions will be monitored and modified as necessary. 3. Review of the medical record review revealed Resident #28 was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, major depressive disorder, supraventricular tachycardia, muscle weakness, abnormal posture and age-related physical debility. Review of the MDS assessment, dated 03/31/24, revealed Resident #28 was rarely understood. Resident #28 had functional range of motion impairment on both sides and utilized a wheelchair. Resident #28 was dependent for chair/bed to chair transfer. Review of the most recent care plan revealed Resident #28 required a mechanical hoyer lift for transferring with assistance of two staff members. Observation on 04/25/24 at 7:46 A.M. revealed Resident #28 was in bed. Observation on 04/25/24 at 8:21 A.M. revealed STNA #209 entered Resident #28's with a mechanical hoyer lift. Continued observation at 8:40 A.M. revealed STNA #209 exited Resident #28's room with the resident in a wheelchair. No other staff were observed in the area. Interview on 04/25/24 at 8:41 A.M. with STNA #209 verified she transferred Resident #28, utilizing the mechanical hoyer lift, from bed to wheelchair without assistance from a second staff. STNA #209 stated, at times, the nurse would help; however, Resident #28 was small enough that she could transfer the resident by herself. Review of facility policy, Using a Mechanical Lifting Machine, dated July 2017, verified at least two nursing assistants are needed to safely move a resident with a mechanical lift. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00153040.
