Overview

Abbyshire Place Health and Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not exceptional. It ranks #387 out of 913 in Ohio, placing it in the top half of facilities statewide, and #1 out of 3 in Gallia County, meaning it is the best local option available. However, the facility is showing a concerning trend as issues have worsened from 5 in 2022 to 14 in 2024. Staffing appears to be a strength, with a turnover rate of 30%, significantly lower than the Ohio average of 49%. There have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign, but recent inspections revealed serious concerns such as staff failing to maintain proper hand hygiene during meal preparation, which could affect all residents, and a lack of cleanliness in resident rooms that could negatively impact their living environment. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing and a lack of fines, the increasing number of issues and specific incidents of care deficiency are important factors for families to consider.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, review of the facility's fall investigation, review of a self-reporting incident (SRI) and for an allegation of neglect and the facility's related investigation, observation, staff interview, family interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with cognitive impairment, who was at risk for falls and had a history of falls, received the appropriate level of supervision to prevent him from falling in the facility's enclosed patio area. This affected one (Resident #65) of three residents reviewed for falls. Findings include: Review of Resident #65's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included a history of a pubis (pelvic) fracture (05/2024), heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoarthritis (OA), orthostatic hypotension, muscle weakness, vertigo, atrial fibrillation, unspecified dementia, and macular degeneration. He resided on the facility's North unit until he was moved to the secured memory care unit on 07/19/24. Review of Resident #65's fall risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was at risk for falls. His fall risk factors included occasional confusion, history of one to two falls in the past three months, intermittent incontinence, minimal unsteadiness with balance/ ambulation needing supervision or contact guard assist (hands on assist), poor safety awareness where he attempted to self-transfer or ambulate when not recommended to do so, impulsiveness, taking medications that increased his risk for falls, and diagnoses that predisposed him to falls. Review of Resident #65's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 06/03/24 revealed the resident had clear speech and was usually able to make himself understood. He had minimal difficulty in hearing and was usually able to understand others. His vision was adequate, without the use of corrective lenses. His cognition at the time of the assessment was severely impaired. He was known to have verbal behaviors directed at others but was not known to reject care. A wheelchair was indicated to be a mobility device he used, and he did not have any functional limitations in his range of motion. Supervision or touching assistance was needed with going from a sitting to lying position and lying to sitting on the side of the bed. Moderate assistance was needed with sit to stand and chair to chair transfers. Ambulation did not occur. Review of Resident #65's care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for an activities of daily living (ADL) self-care deficit related to increased weakness and decreased mobility. The care plan was initiated on 05/15/24. The interventions included transferring the resident with a two-person physical assist using a gait belt and rollator walker. Further review of Resident #65's care plans revealed he also had a care plan for being at risk for falls related to the diagnoses of OA, orthostatic hypotension, generalized muscle weakness, a history of falls, vertigo, low back pain, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. The care plan was last revised on 10/25/23. The goal was for him to have less falls during the review period. The interventions included placing an alarm on the patio door. That intervention was added on 07/01/24. The use of a mesh barrier across the patio door to deter residents from going out was added on 07/18/24. Review of Resident #65's progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 06/30/24 at 12:13 P.M., that indicated the resident went outside on the patio and slid out of his wheelchair. He sustained an abrasion to the top of his head and left outer elbow. Dycem (non-slip pad) was applied to his wheelchair. Further review of the progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 07/17/24 at 7:08 P.M. by Registered Nurse (RN) #100 that indicated a state tested nurse aide (STNA) went to the Buckeye room (lounge area by the North nurses' station that had an exit door to the enclosed patio) and saw Resident #65 lying on the patio floor on his right side. The STNA called out for help. The resident was assisted back to his wheelchair and his skin was assessed. He was noted to have an abrasion to his right elbow. Review of the facility's fall investigation for Resident #65's fall on 07/17/24 revealed the resident's fall occurred at 5:10 P.M. RN #100 was the staff member that completed the fall investigation form and indicated the location of the fall was outside. The resident had been seen at the nurses' station approximately ten minutes prior to the fall. The fall investigation indicated the resident's daughter had been in agreement with the resident sitting outside, when the weather was nice. It did not specify if the daughter wanted him to be supervised while he was outside. Immediate action taken included adding a mesh barrier across the patio door to deter the resident from going out unsupervised. The patio door was indicated to remain alarmed. Predisposed physiological factors to the fall included him being confused, having gait imbalance, having impaired memory, and weakness. Predisposing situation factors included active exit seeking and ambulating without assistance. Review of SRI #249803 for an allegation of neglect with date of discovery of 07/17/24 revealed the initial source of the allegation was from a visitor/ family member and the involved resident was Resident #65. The alleged/ suspected perpetrator was facility staff or other care provider. The resident's relevant condition included dementia, heart failure, pleural effusion, COPD, and orthostatic hypotension. He was not able to provide meaningful information regarding the incident when interviewed. A narrative summary of the incident revealed Resident #65 was found on the patio, where he had fallen from his wheelchair. While staff were assisting him, his daughter came in and began screaming at the staff. The staff were trying to communicate to her that the resident had only been outside for less than ten minutes. A mesh barrier was placed across the patio door to deter the resident from going onto the patio unsupervised. The patio was enclosed with no way to exit. The patio door was alarmed to let staff know when a resident got outside. A body check was completed with a small abrasion noted to the elbow being the only injury the resident sustained. The facility's investigation was ongoing, and no conclusion/ disposition had been made at that time regarding the facility's conclusion of the allegation. Review of a witness statement obtained from RN #120 (the nurse assigned to Resident #65's hall on 07/17/24) dated 07/17/24 revealed she was not in the building when Resident #65 fell. Staff were aware she was on break. When she returned into the facility, she was notified by the South nurse (RN #115) of the resident's fall. Review of an undated written statement by RN #115 revealed she was at the medication cart passing evening medication at 5:00 P.M. to the residents on the South Hall. She was alerted by staff (STNA #125) that Resident #65 fell on the back patio. Upon entering the back patio area, the resident was noted to be lying on his right side. While the nurse was assessing the resident for injuries, the resident's daughter arrived and became agitated while yelling at the staff, this needs to stop. The daughter was yelling and cursing about the staff not doing their jobs. The nurse explained to the daughter that the resident was not under her care, and she was unaware of the resident's care/needs. Review of a written statement from RN #100 revealed she went to assist a resident at 5:03 P.M. When she walked past the Buckeye room, Resident #65 was sitting by the table in his wheelchair. After walking out of the other resident's room, staff had notified her of what happened with Resident #65 falling. Review of a written statement from STNA #125 revealed she was on her way to empty the linen cart and looked down at her watch and saw it was 5:00 P.M. She then saw Resident #65 sitting in front of the North nurses' station. She proceeded to grab the linen cart and went down to empty it. She hurried because dinner trays were coming. When she arrived back onto the hallway, she replaced the linen cart and went to grab a pop from the vending machine (located in the Buckeye room). When she looked out the door, she saw Resident #65 on the ground. She looked down at her watch and it was 5:10 P.M. She went and yelled for STNA #150 to assist and then went to get the nurse (RN #115). During all of that, the daughter came running behind them and was screaming at them. It was hard for them to hear anything because the call lights were going off and the TV in the Buckeye room was loud. Review of a written statement by STNA #150 revealed at 5:00 P.M. she used the North Hall staff restroom and saw Resident #65 sitting in the hall between the nurses' station and the staff restroom. She came out of the restroom, saw that the trays were on the hall and started passing the dinner trays. At 5:10 P.M., STNA #125 yelled at her from the Buckeye room, and she sprinted there to find Resident #65 lying on the ground. STNA #125 went and got the nurse (RN #115). Review of a written statement by STNA #175 revealed at 5:00 P.M., while she was walking past the Buckeye room to answer a call light, she observed Resident #65 in the Buckeye room watching TV. She proceeded to go answer the call light that was going activated. She assisted the other resident with changing him and getting him ready for dinner. When she came out, she saw STNA #125, STNA #150, and RN #115 out on the back porch. STNA #125 and RN #115 assisted Resident #65 into his chair. She then assisted with getting the resident back to his room. The resident's daughter was yelling at staff and was yelling at her in the hallway while being in her face. The aide informed the daughter that she was assisting another resident and would not have been able to hear the door alarm to the patio. On 07/22/24 at 1:47 P.M., the door alarm to the enclosed patio area off of the Buckeye room was checked for proper function and to see how the alarm was transmitted. The facility's Director of Nursing (DON) assisted with checking the door and with describing how it worked. The patio door had a small alarm in the right upper corner of the door with two small, white plastic pieces that made up the alarm. One piece was on the door and the other was on the door frame so when the two pieces became disengaged, an audible alarm would sound. The alarm sounded like a doorbell making a ding-[NAME] sound while it was open. Once the door closed the alarm would stop. There was a box at the North nurses' station across from the Buckeye room that transmitted the audible alarm. The alarm was not overly loud and did not require staff to respond to the door in order to silence the alarm. On 07/22/24 at 1:49 P.M., an interview with STNA #125 confirmed she was working when Resident #65 fell in the patio area on 07/17/24. She confirmed her written statement was accurate and she could not hear the door alarm go off while she was in another resident's room at the time of the fall. On that day, they had to redirect the resident frequently, as he was exit seeking through that back patio door most of the day. She stated it was hard to keep an eye on one individual, when they had 30 residents to take care of. The resident required an extensive assistance of two staff for transfers and was not able to ambulate. He had declined the past couple of months and was more confused now than he had been. He used to be allowed to go outside a couple of months ago and usually did that at the front porch where the office staff and other residents could see him. Since it had been hot outside, the resident's daughter did not want him outside. He was not allowed to be out unattended due to his increased confusion. She denied there had been a functioning problem with the door alarm, as it worked as it should. It was just hard to hear, if you were away from the nurse's station and down the hall in a resident's room. On 07/22/24 at 1:58 P.M., an interview with STNA #150 confirmed she was working on 07/17/24, when Resident #65 fell in the patio area. The resident required maximum assistance of two staff for transfers. She considered him to be at risk for falls, and he was known to have fallen prior to the fall on 07/17/24. She described him as being confused. He had displayed exit seeking behaviors before. They had to constantly redirect him and that had not been the first time the patio door alarm had sounded. She confirmed she had seen the resident sitting in the hallway between the nurses' station and the staff's restroom as was written in her statement. She further confirmed he was no longer there when she came out of the restroom. She started passing the dinner trays and then notified by STNA #125 that Resident #65 had fallen on the patio. She denied she had heard the doorbell alarm go off at the patio door. If they were down the hall or in a resident's room, they were not able to hear the alarm. They could not hear it if they were in the restroom either. She did not feel the patio door alarm was an effective intervention, due to them not always being able to hear it. On 07/22/24 at 2:10 P.M., an interview with RN #100 revealed she was Resident #65's assigned nurse when he fell on [DATE]. She reported the resident was a fall risk and had fallen quite a few times while in the facility. She described him as being very confused and required frequent redirection. She confirmed he had previously fallen in the patio area on 06/30/24, before the fall on 07/17/24. They placed the doorbell alarm on the patio door following that previous fall. She denied she heard the door alarm go off when the resident exited through the patio door to access the enclosed patio area. She was assisting another resident in their room towards the end of the hall near the secured unit doors. When she came out of the room, she was told what had happened. She did not feel the doorbell alarm on the patio door was effective as a fall prevention intervention, unless they were sitting at the nurse's station or in the nearby area. She confirmed the resident should not have been out in the patio area unattended. On 07/22/24 at 2:19 P.M., an interview with RN #120 revealed Resident #65 was a fall risk and had a history of falls. She described him as being very unsteady and required extensive assistance of two staff for transfers. His cognitive status had declined, and he was confused most of the time. He was not fully aware of his limitations. He used to sit outside by himself, but the power of attorney (POA) made it known she did not want him sitting outside by himself anymore. If he did go outside, he should be supervised. His fall interventions included the use of the door alarm to the patio door. She confirmed that intervention was in place before the 07/17/24 fall. She reported, when they were down the hall or in another resident's room, that door alarm to the patio door was hard to hear. On 07/22/24 at 2:26 P.M., an interview with Resident #65's daughter/ POA revealed she found the resident in the patio area, and it was the third time. He had been found out there alone, and after the first time, she asked the facility to put an alarm on the patio door so the staff would know when he went out there. She reported after they put the door alarm on that door it happened again. The staff said they could not hear the alarm when they were down the hall. She confirmed she had told the facility he could go outside, when it was nice weather, if someone was out there with him. With it being so hot outside, she asked that they not allow him out there. On 07/22/24 at 2:40 P.M., an interview with the DON was completed to review Resident #65's fall on 07/17/24. She acknowledged the staff were reporting it was hard for them to hear the door alarm that was on the patio door when they were down the hall or in a resident's room. She further acknowledged the patio door alarm only sounded while the door was open. With it being hard to hear and only sounding when the door was open, it was not effective in preventing Resident #65's fall on 07/17/24. She confirmed that was not the first fall he had out there, as he fell while in the enclosed patio area on 06/20/24. She further confirmed the doorbell alarm on the patio door was their fall prevention intervention for his fall on 06/30/24. Review of the facility's policy on Fall Management Guidelines issued on 12/13/23 revealed the purpose of the policy was to provide guidelines to assist with fall risk identification and fall management of residents in the facility. Fall management goals included reducing the risk of falls by intervening in modifiable risk factors. Factors included in the fall risk evaluation included mental status, history of falling in the last three months, balance while standing, transferring and/or walking, and safety awareness. The resident's care plan and interventions would be reviewed and revised as indicated for the individual needs of the resident and effectiveness of the interventions. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Self-Reported Incident, Control Number OH00155927.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of a facility self-reporting incident (SRI) report for misappropriation of property, review of the facility's related investigation, record review, resident interview, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to provide a prompt effort to resolve a grievance/ concern from a resident regarding missing personal property. This affected one resident (#58) of one resident reviewed for missing personal property. Findings include: A review of SRI with tracking #241366 dated 11/20/23 revealed the facility self-reported an allegation of misappropriation involving Resident #58 as the resident victim. Another resident was identified as the alleged perpetrator. The date and time of the occurrence was on 11/20/23 at 3:00 P.M. and the alleged incident occurred in the resident's room. Resident #58 provided meaningful information as part of the facility's investigation. The summary of the incident revealed Resident #58 reported his wallet was missing and it had $600.00 dollars and a bank card in it when it went missing. He thought the wallet was in his old room (where it was last known to be prior to him changing rooms after he had tested positive for Covid-19). His daughter had informed the facility she had brought $300.00 to $400.00 dollars in for the resident, but had his bank card in her possession. Both rooms (Resident #58's old room and his new room) had been searched and a report was filed with the local Sheriff's Department. Resident #58 informed the Deputy Sheriff that he thought another resident may have had it. The other resident was interviewed by the Deputy Sheriff and the facility staff during their investigation, but he denied seeing the wallet. Staff interviews were completed and confirmed he had been known to have a wallet, but it had been several days since anyone had seen it. A review of the facility's investigation that was completed in response to Resident #58's allegation of misappropriation revealed it was determined by talking with the resident's daughter that she had brought in between $300.00 to $400.00 dollars the day before he was moved to his new room. The daughter indicated she had the resident's bank card. A review of the Sheriff's Department's report dated 11/20/23 (that was included in the facility's investigation) revealed the resident only had a prepaid card and not a bank card in his wallet. He informed the Sheriff's Deputy that he had $300.00 to $400.00 dollars in cash in his wallet. He noted the wallet and it's contents were missing on 11/18/23, after he completed his 10 day quarantine period for Covid-19. The facility staff were indicated to have been the ones who moved all his property when he was moved from his old room to the new room. Resident #58 was said to have talked with the other resident that had been placed in his old room but the wallet was not able to be found. A review of Resident #58's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was diagnosed with Covid-19 on 11/09/23. His census tab revealed he was moved from his previous room to a new room on 11/09/23 and had remained in that room since being moved. Record review for Resident #58 revealed a review of a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact. His care plans did not note he was known to make any false accusations. On 02/06/24 at 9:21 A.M., an interview with Resident #58 revealed he did report a wallet and around $600.00 dollars missing in the recent past. He was not sure what all the facility did to look into it and had not been reimbursed for the wallet or for its contents. The wallet and money went missing around the time he had Covid-19 and had been moved to a different room. On 02/08/24 at 9:00 A.M., a follow up interview with Resident #58 revealed he did not feel the facility responded adequately to his concern about his missing wallet and money. He denied he was reimbursed for the amount it would have cost him to replace that wallet with a wallet of equal value or for the amount of money he had in the wallet. He was asked about the various reports of the actual amount of money that was also missing in addition to the wallet. He stated he had $200.00 dollars in his wallet, prior to his daughter bringing money to him on 11/08/23. He stated they (him and his daughter) had planned to go out and do some Christmas shopping the day he tested positive for Covid-19 and that was why he had a large amount on him. He did not go shopping, after he tested positive for Covid-19. On 02/08/24 at 9:12 A.M., an interview with the director of nursing (DON) revealed the facility had not replaced Resident #58's wallet or the money that was known to have been in his possession by what the daughter had said was brought into the facility and given to the resident on 11/08/23. She acknowledged, if nothing else, they should have replaced the wallet with one of equal value and at least given him the minimum amount of money that he was known to have based on what was discovered during their investigation. She reported they did not substantiate the allegation of misappropriation, due to there being conflicting reports on the amount of money he had in his wallet that went missing and what other items were in his wallet when it came up missing. A review of the facility's policy on Missing Items (reviewed 05/21/20) revealed it was the facility's policy to resolve missing item issues. It was at the discretion of the Administrator to replace missing items and at what value. Permission to replace an item that exceeded $100.00 needed the approval of the Administrator.

Based on observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's medication was not misappropriated and was administered to the resident it was intended for. This affected one resident (#61) of two residents reviewed for misappropriation of property. Findings include: On 02/08/24 at 9:25 A.M., an observation of the medication administration cart for the VA/ North hall revealed there was an Insulin Lispro (fast acting insulin given as an injection subcutaneously) Kwik Pen u-100 that was found in the top drawer of the medication administration cart. It had a pharmacy label wrapped around the Kwik Pen with a resident's name that had been marked out using a black Sharpie. The last name of the resident, whom the Kwik Pen was intended for, was still visible and identified the resident by name. There was also another resident's name (first name) that had been hand written on the side of the Kwik Pen using a black Sharpie. Findings were verified by Registered Nurse (RN) #103. The facility's Director of Nursing (DON) had walked out of her office and into the nurses' station at the time RN #103 was verifying the findings. The DON was asked to identify who the resident was that had their name marked off the label on the Insulin Lispro Kwik Pen and who the resident was that had a first name added on the side of that same Insulin Lispro Kwik Pen. On 02/08/24 at 9:31 A.M., an interview with the DON revealed she was able to determine that the Insulin Lispro Kwik Pen that had the name of the resident it was intended for (as specified on the pharmacy label) marked out using a Sharpie was that of Resident #61. She also identified the name of the resident whose first name had been hand written on the side of the Insulin Lispro Kwik Pen as being that of Resident #236. She verified Resident #61 had a current order to receive Insulin Lispro 3 units subcutaneously (SQ) three times a day before meals and he also had an order to give it before meals and at bedtime as per a sliding scale. She was asked if she would consider using one resident's medications for another resident it was not intended for to be misappropriation of that resident's property. She stated she would consider that misappropriation of resident property. The facility initiated a self-reporting incident (SRI) with tracker #249939 on 02/08/24. They concluded the investigation on 02/09/24 and unsubstantiated the allegation of misappropriation of property due to their investigation determining the nurse, who had pulled Resident #61's Insulin Lispro Kwik Pen from the refrigerator it was being stored in, did not intentionally or deliberately use Resident #61's Insulin Lispro Kwik Pen for Resident #236. They claimed the nurse pulled it out of the refrigerator to be used for the other resident when that resident's blood sugar was high, without noticing it was the property of Resident #61's. They further claimed the nurse that administered the insulin to Resident #236 did not notice her mistake until after the insulin had already been given. The SRI indicated the nurse involved received education and Resident #61 was reimbursed the amount for the Insulin Lispro at the facility's cost, after it had been brought to their attention. A review of the facility's policy on Abuse (dated 04/13/22) revealed the policy indicated the residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property. The policy identified misappropriation of resident property as the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful, temporary, or permanent, use of a resident's belongings or money without the resident's consent.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of a facility self-reporting incident (SRI) report for misappropriation of property, review of the facility's related investigation, record review, resident interview, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's allegation of misappropriation was thoroughly investigated and included interviews with all relevant employees that may have had knowledge of the alleged misappropriation. This affected one resident (#58) of two residents that were reviewed for misappropriation of property. Findings include: A review of a SRI report with tracking #241366 dated 11/20/23 revealed the facility self-reported an allegation of misappropriation identifying Resident #58 as the resident victim and another resident (Resident #47) as the alleged perpetrator. No witnesses were identified in the report. The date and time of the occurrence was on 11/20/23 at 3:00 P.M. and the alleged incident occurred in the resident's room. Resident #58 was indicated to have been able to provide meaningful information as part of the investigation. The summary of the incident revealed Resident #58 reported his wallet was missing with $600.00 dollars and a bank card inside. He had thought the wallet was in his old room before he had been moved when testing positive for Covid-19. His daughter had informed the facility she had brought $300.00 to $400.00 dollars into the facility for the resident, but had his bank card in her possession. Both rooms (Resident #58's old room and his new room) had been searched and a report was filed with the local Sheriff's Department. Resident #58 informed the Deputy Sheriff that he thought Resident #47 may have had it. Resident #47 was interviewed by the Deputy Sheriff and the facility staff during their investigation and he denied seeing the wallet. Staff and other residents were interviewed as part of the facility's investigation. The staff interviewed confirmed the resident had a wallet, but they had not seen the wallet for several days. A review of the facility's investigation that was completed in response to Resident #58's allegation of misappropriation revealed it was determined by talking with the resident's daughter that she had brought in between $300.00 to $400.00 dollars the day before he was moved to his new room. The daughter indicated she had the resident's bank card. The resident was indicated to have a resident funds account with the facility but preferred keeping his money in his room. The facility's investigation indicated they had provided education to the resident on keeping his money in his trust account and not in his room A review of the Sheriff's Department's report dated 11/20/23 (that was included as part of the facility's investigation) revealed Resident #58 reported he only had a prepaid card and not a bank card in his wallet. He did inform the Sheriff's Deputy that he had $300.00 to $400.00 dollars in cash in his wallet and the wallet and its contents went missing on 11/18/23, after he completed his 10 day quarantine period for Covid-19. The facility staff were indicated to have been the ones to move all his property when he changed rooms after contracting a Covid-19 infection. Resident #47 was identified as having been the resident who was moved into the old room that belonged to Resident #58 before he was moved. Resident #58 talked with Resident #47, as did the Sheriff's Deputy, and they looked in Resident #47's room but did not find it The facility's investigation included statements from staff that had been obtained. In all, 35 employees of various disciplines were interviewed. One of the 35 employees (SSD #150) provided a typed statement. The other 34 completed a questionnaire in person or over the phone that asked them a series of questions. They were asked if they had seen a wallet in Resident #58's room or in his possession. If so, when and where? They also asked if they were aware of any items purchased by the resident in the last few weeks. If so, when and what? The statements did not include the titles of the employees interviewed and one failed to include the name of the staff members that had been interviewed. Residents were asked if they felt safe in the facility and if they had ever had any items missing that were not found or replaced. The investigation did not identify the staff members who assisted with moving the resident's belongings when he was moved from his old room to his new room, after contracting Covid-19. A review of Resident #58's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was diagnosed with Covid-19 on 11/09/23. His census tab revealed he was moved from his previous room to a new room on 11/09/23 and had remained in that room since being moved. A review of a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact. His care plans did not note he was known to make any false accusations. On 02/06/24 at 9:21 A.M., an interview with Resident #58 revealed he did report a missing wallet and around $600.00 dollars missing in the recent past. He was not sure what all the facility did to look into it and had not been reimbursed for the wallet or its contents. He indicated the wallet and its contents went missing around the time he had Covid-19 and had been moved to his new room. On 02/07/24 at 2:10 P.M., an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed she completed the facility's investigation into Resident #58's allegation of missing property on 11/20/23. She was asked who the employees were that moved Resident #58 from his old room to his new room when he contracted Covid-19 on 11/09/23. She identified that resident as being State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #118. She claimed STNA #118 was the only employee that assisted Resident #58 with moving his belongings to his new room. She thought her investigation included an interview with him. Further review of the facility's investigation into Resident #58's allegation of misappropriation revealed there was no statement obtained from STNA #118, nor was he one of the 34 employees who had been asked if he had seen Resident #58 with a wallet in his room or in his possession. Findings were verified by the DON on 02/07/24 at 2:20 P.M. She reviewed the staff statements that had been provided as part of their investigation and confirmed there was not a statement from STNA #118. On 02/08/24 at 9:00 A.M., a follow up interview with Resident #58 revealed he did not feel the facility responded adequately to his concern about his missing wallet/ money. He denied he had been given a new wallet of equal value or was reimbursed for the amount a similar wallet would cost to replace the one that he had lost. He also denied he was given any money to replace what he was known to have prior to the facility staff assisting him with moving his belongings on 11/09/23. He was asked about the discrepancies in the amount of what he had reported was missing and what his daughter had told the facility that was brought into him. He indicated he already had $200.00 dollars in his wallet when his daughter brought him in money on 11/08/23. He stated they (him and his daughter) had planned to go out and do some Christmas shopping the day he tested positive for Covid-19. That was why he had a large amount on him. He did not end up going shopping, after he tested positive for Covid-19. He was further asked about the bank card and indicated it was a debit card that was in his wallet along with the cash. He indicated the bank card the facility said the daughter had was his new debit card that was given to him by the bank, after the first one went missing. He denied any transactions occurred on his original bank card, after it went missing, and had been canceled. He had since purchased a Velcro wallet but it was not as nice as the one he had. He confirmed the staff had provided education to him about not keeping money in his room but it was his choice and right to do so. He denied they had ever offered him a locked box for the safe storage of his valuables until after his wallet and money went missing. On 02/08/24 at 9:12 A.M., an interview with the DON revealed the facility had not replaced Resident #58's wallet or the money that was known to have been in his possession from what they gathered from the resident's daughter. She acknowledged, if nothing else, they should have replaced the wallet with one of equal value and at least given him the minimum amount of money that was known to have been in his possession when the wallet went missing. She stated the facility did not substantiate the allegation of misappropriation because there was conflicting reports of the amount of money that had been missing and what the wallet's contents were in regards to a bank card. She stated that they could not determine if the wallet and money had been misappropriated or just misplaced. She further acknowledged, if the wallet and money had not turned up by now, it was likely to remain missing. On 02/09/24 at 9:35 A.M., an interview with STNA #118 revealed he was off with Covid-19 himself on 11/09/23, when Resident #58 was moved from his old room to the new room after he contracted Covid-19. When he returned to work, Resident #58 had already been placed in his new room. On 02/09/24 at 9:40 A.M., the DON was informed STNA #118 reported he was off work with Covid-19 when Resident #58 moved on 11/09/23, when he contracted Covid-19, therefore could not have been the one that moved the resident as she had previously indicated. She questioned if that was accurate and indicated that she believed STNA #118 was working on that date and was the one that moved the resident's belongings. She was asked to review the schedule and confirmed what staff worked on 11/09/23 that could have assisted Resident #58 with his room change. She acknowledged identifying and interviewing the employee that assisted in moving the resident's belongings should have been part of their investigation in determining what happened to his wallet and money. She followed up after reviewing the 11/09/23 schedule and determined one facility employee and two agency aides had worked that day. She did not provide any evidence those employees working were interviewed as part of her investigation. A review of the facility's policy on abuse (updated on 05/24/23) revealed the residents had the right to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property. The key to investigating abuse allegations was in an environment that facilitated the reporting of such allegations. Once reported, the facility would conduct a timely, thorough, and objective investigation of any allegation of abuse. The investigation included identifying and interviewing all involved persons, including the alleged victim, alleged perpetrator, witnesses, and others who might have knowledge of the allegations (such as other residents, family members, staff who worked closely with the alleged perpetrator and/ or alleged victim).

Record review revealed Resident #82 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia with other behaviors, cognitive communication deficit, dysphagia, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, hypertension, and anxiety disorder. Review of an admission minimum data set completed on 01/20/24 revealed Resident #82 had a diagnosis of PTSD, exhibited physical behaviors towards others four to six days a week, verbal behaviors towards others four to six days a week, wandered one to three days a week, and had other behaviors one to three days a week. Review of Resident #82's comprehensive care plan revealed no care plan or interventions regarding PTSD. Observation on 02/05/24 at 5:55 P.M. revealed Resident #82 was sitting in the dining room and staff were attempting to help him get to a table for dinner when Resident #82 began screaming and threatening the staff. Interview on 02/07/24 at 3:53 P.M. with Social Worker (SW) #150 revealed Resident #82's admission assessments were completed with his representative due to Resident #82 being a poor historian. SW #150 revealed she did not ask Resident #82's representative about his history in the military. SW #150 stated she figured Resident #82 had PTSD since he is a veteran. SW #150 stated she was aware of Resident #82 exhibiting behaviors but she had not contacted his representative to discuss PTSD and triggers. SW #150 stated comprehensive care plans should be completed within five days of admission and confirmed Resident #82 did not have a care plan in place for PTSD. Based on observation, record review, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents had a comprehensive care plan in place to address Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and impaired vision. This affected two residents (#25 and #82) of 20 residents reviewed for care plans. Findings include: 1. A review of Resident #25's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included adult onset diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and history of a cerebral vascular accident (stroke). A review of Resident #25's admission nursing assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was known to have impaired vision. There was no mention of him having the use of any glasses to address his impaired vision. A review of Resident #25's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had adequate vision with the use of corrective lenses.

A review of Resident #25's active care plans revealed he did not have any care plan in place to address impaired vision. There was no mention on any of his care plans about the use or the need for glasses. On 02/05/24 at 2:02 P.M., an interview with Resident #25 revealed he had impaired vision and was in need of glasses. He indicated he had checked onto getting glasses in the recent past, but he was told that it would cost him around 500.00 dollars to do so. At that time, he was not in the position to be able to do so. He would like to bee seen by an optometrist so he could see what other options were out there. On 02/07/24 at 4:28 P.M., an interview with Social Service Director (SSD) #150 revealed they have not had an ancillary service consent form signed by the resident yet. The resident and his daughter were back and forth on whether or not he was short term to home or if they were going to sign him up for hospice. She stated she had the form in her office to be signed if it was determined he wanted those services provided. She confirmed there had been some discussions in his last care conference about the daughter taking him somewhere local to have his eyes checked and see about getting him a pair of glasses. On 02/08/24 at 11:15 A.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #25 did not have a care plan in place to address his vision impairment or needs for an optometry appointment to get glasses. She acknowledged his admission nursing assessment identified him as having impaired vision without the use of glasses and his admission MDS assessment had him as having adequate vision with glasses. She further acknowledged the resident reported he did not have glasses, but was interested in getting some.

She had it on him yesterday but he only allowed it to be on for about a half hour before he became irritated and wanted it off. She offered to put it on him earlier that day around 9:45 A.M., but the resident declined. She stated he typically agreed to wear it once during the three days that she was there. On 02/07/24 at 10:55 A.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #103 confirmed Resident #72 had a contracture to his left hand. She indicated they tried to place hand rolls in his left hand or put his palm guard in place when the resident would allow. He was known to refuse the use of the palm guard at times as he could become combative with staff.

Based on observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure medications were properly stored to include labeling that identified who the medication belonged to, date multi-use vials/ insulin pens were first accessed/ used, and medications did not exceed the expiration date on stock medication supplies. This affected one resident (#70) of two residents reviewed for medication administration and two residents (#12 and #236) with review of two of three medication administration carts. Findings include: 1. On 02/08/24 at 9:20 A.M., the medication administration cart for the short hall/ rehabilitation unit was checked for medication storage. There were multi-use vials of Lidocaine 5 milliliters and sterile water that was in the top drawer of the medication cart. The multi-use vials were loose inside the cart and not stored in a bag/ box with any labels that would identify who the medications were used for. The multi-use vials also did not include a date on either bottle that identified when they had first been accessed. Findings were verified by Registered Nurse (RN) #103. On 02/08/24 at 9:21 A.M., an interview with RN #103 revealed the multi-use vials of Lidocaine and sterile water were being used for Resident #12. She stated the resident was on an intravenous antibiotic, but they lost peripheral access. They were using the Lidocaine and sterile water to mix with the antibiotic so it could be given intramuscularly until the resident was able to have a PICC line (a peripherally inserted central catheter) inserted. The multi-use vials were not currently being used, but she acknowledged they were not labeled to show who they belonged to or when they had first been accessed. 2a.) On 02/08/24 at 9:25 A.M., an observation of the medication administration cart for the VA/ North hall revealed there was a stock bottle of Vitamin B-12 100 mcg in the top drawer of the medication cart that had an expiration date of October 2023. A Vitamin B-12 tablet had been noted to be pulled from that stock bottle during a medication administration observation for Resident #70 on 02/07/24 at 8:13 A.M. Findings were verified by RN #103. On 02/08/24 at 9:26 A.M., an interview with RN #103 revealed she acknowledged Resident #70 had a dose of Vitamin B-12 pulled from that stock bottle during a medication administration observation of her giving medications to Resident #70 the day before. She removed the stock bottle of Vitamin B-12 from the medication cart and disposed of it. 2b.) On 02/08/24 at 9:27 A.M., further observation of the medication administration cart for the VA/ North hall revealed there was a Lantus Flex-pen (a multi-use insulin administration pen that required the needle to be changed between uses) 100 units/ milliliters (ml) that was loose in the cart and was not stored in any type of packaging that included a label. There was no identification to identify what resident it was to be used for and did not have a date written on it to identify when it was first accessed/ used. Findings were verified by RN #103. 2c.) On 02/08/24 at 9:28 A.M., further review of the medication administration cart for the VA/ North hall revealed there was a Levemir flex-pen in the top drawer of the medication cart that was identified to be that of Resident #236. It was not dated to show when the flex-pen had first been used so the staff knew what date it should be discarded. Findings were verified by RN #103. The Director of Nursing (DON) walked out of her office into the nurses' station and was informed of the concerns with the insulin flexpens being found in the medication cart that did not identify a name of a resident it was being used for or dates when first accessed. On 02/08/24 at 9:31 A.M., an interview with the DON revealed all items in the medication administration cart should have proper labeling to identify who they belonged to and multi-use vials/ flex-pens should be dated when first accessed. A review of the facility's policy on Medication- Insulin Administration dated 08/21/23 revealed insulin vials and pens should be disposed of after 28 days or according to manufacturer's recommendations after opening. A review of the facility's policy on Medication and Treatment Storage issued 08/07/23 revealed it was the policy of the facility to ensure accurate labeling and dating of medications and treatments for safe administration and safe and secure storage of all medications and treatments. Labeling of all medications and biologicals dispensed by the pharmacy would be consistent with applicable federal and state requirements and currently accepted pharmaceutical principles and practices including expiration dates and with appropriate accessory and precautionary instructions. Medications designed for multiple administrations, the label would identify the specific resident for whom it was prescribed. Multi-use vials would be dated when the vial was first accessed. If a multi-dose vial had been opened or accessed, the vial should be dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specified a different date for that opened vial.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to follow a dietary order for a resident and did not ensure texture of pureed foods was without grainy texture. This affected one resident (#54) and had the potential to affect six residents receiving pureed diets. The facility census was 90. Findings include: 1. Record review revealed Resident #54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia with behaviors, dysphagia following unspecified cerebrovascular disease, and avoidance/restrictive food intake disorder. Review of a dietary order dated 01/25/24 revealed Resident #54 should receive a regular diet with mechanical soft texture with fortified foods and no bread. Observation on 02/07/24 at 11:24 A.M. revealed Dietary Manager (DM) #132 preparing Resident #54's tray for lunch. DM #132 was preparing a Philly cheese steak sandwich for Resident #54 and placed the meat, cheese and vegetables on bread. The plate was then placed on a tray and put in the meal cart for delivery. At 11:25 A.M. after two more trays were prepared and placed on the cart, the surveyor intervened and made staff aware Resident #54 had a dietary order for no bread. Interview on 02/07/24 at 2:26 P.M. with Speech Therapist (ST) #192 revealed Resident #54 could have items such as cake or biscuits, but was not able to comprehend what a sandwich was so when she sees one, she does not eat as much.

It is the responsibility of the Dietary Manager to ensure each meal served is accurate. 2. Observation on 02/07/24 at 9:36 A.M. revealed DM #132 preparing meals for residents requiring a pureed diet. DM #132 reported there are five residents who receive a pureed texture diet. DM #132 began by combining 30 ounces of beef, 20 ounces of vegetables, 10 slices of cheese, three buns, and a large, unmeasured pour of au jus in the food processor. After pureeing for about fifteen seconds, DM #132 then added seven more buns to the mixture and continued pureeing the food. Once DM #132 stated she was finished with processing the pureed food, she poured the mixture into a pan. There were visible chunks of green peppers. DM #132 and surveyor tested the pureed food and DM #132 acknowledged it was grainy, then poured the pan of pureed Philly cheese steaks back in the food processor and added in an unmeasured pour of au jus. Once pureed, DM #132 and surveyor tested mixture and it was smooth. DM #132 then poured the food back into the pan she previously used to put the mixture in without cleaning it or ensuring there were no chunks left in the pan. DM #132 then used a clean food processor to puree the vegetables, using 10 four ounce scoops of mixed vegetables and five spoon fulls of thickener. Food was processed for approximately two minutes then tested. Skin from peas was still present in the mixture, and DM #132 pureed the mixture for an additional two minutes. Once completed, the pureed mixture was smooth. DM #132 confirmed findings.
