F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few performed on first shift on 12/01/23, 12/04/23, 12/05/23, 12/06/23, 12/08/23, 12/11/23, 12/12/23, 12/13/23, 12/14/23, 12/15/23, 12/16/23, 12/17/23, 12/18/23, 12/19/23, 12/21/23, 12/22/23, 12/23/23, 12/24/23, and 12/25/23. No information was provided as to why the PROM was not completed. Resident #1 was documented as refused one time on 12/29/23. Of the 19 instances State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #205 was the staff who documented PROM was not performed. Further medical record review found no documented refusals. Interview on 01/08/24 at 10:08 A.M., with Resident #1 found him to be alert and aware. Resident #1 reported he was not getting his range of motion as ordered. Resident #1 stated the issue was primarily on first shift and was with STNA #205 who did not provide the range of motion. Resident #1 stated he did not refuse his ROM and he actually wanted more than he was getting. Resident #1 reported STNA #205 would say there wasn't time and it would not be done. Interview on 01/08/24 at 12:42 P.M., with STNA #205 verified Resident #1's range of motion was not completed. STNA #205 reported Resident #1 was very particular and wanted all of his care completed at one time. If there was not enough time she would ask if they could do the ROM later. Review of the undated facility training titled, Restorative Nursing Training- Range of Motion (ROM), Walking, Dressing/Grooming revealed ROM should be completed with daily activities of daily living care. The staff were to follow the ROM program as assigned in the electronic system, the care plan, and the resident's profile. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00148946.
