Overview

Bayley Place in Cincinnati, Ohio has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good facility and a solid choice for care. It ranks #223 out of 913 nursing homes in Ohio, placing it in the top half of facilities statewide, and #18 out of 70 in Hamilton County, meaning there are only 17 better options nearby. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 4 in 2019 to 8 in 2022. Staffing is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 41%, which is lower than the state average, suggesting that staff are relatively stable and familiar with residents. The facility has not incurred any fines, which is a positive sign, yet it has concerning RN coverage, being lower than 83% of Ohio facilities. Specific incidents noted by inspectors include failures to properly use personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which involved six residents who tested positive. Additionally, a resident with severe cognitive impairment was found with an unexplained bruise, raising concerns about the adequacy of monitoring and care. These findings highlight some weaknesses, particularly in infection control practices, while the overall good ratings in staffing and absence of fines indicate strengths in other areas.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of the hospital record, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to implement their abuse policy to report and investigate an injury of unknown origin for one resident (#63) of five reveiwed for accidents. The facility census was 102. Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #63 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including difficulty walking, repeated falls, and vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #63 had severely impaired cognition and required extensive assistance for activities of daily living. Review of the facility's Fall Investigation report dated 06/26/19, revealed Resident #63 fell from her wheel chair and was wearing hipsters at the time of the fall. The report revealed the resident sustained a skin tear to the left elbow and there were no other injuries. Review of Resident #63's progress note dated 07/08/19 at 12:42 P.M., revealed a late entry for 07/05/19 which documented the resident had no pain or discomfort. Review of Resident #63's progress note dated 07/06/19 at 8:50 P.M., revealed a State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) had assisted the resident to bed and noticed the resident was having a lot of pain, was yelling out, and was grabbing at her left inner thigh and hip. The nurse was notified. The nurse's assessment revealed the resident's left foot to be rotated outward, the resident had extreme pain with range of motion, was grabbing at the left inner thigh, yelling out, and became tearful. The note further revealed the resident had a fall on 06/26/19 with no injuries noted. There was an old green bruise to left knee noted and thought to be from the fall on 06/26/19. The physician was notified and ordered x-rays of the left hip. The resident's family was notified and revealed they took the resident out of the facility on 07/04/19, transferring the resident in and out of the car, and the resident did not appear to be in pain. Review of the radiology report dated 07/06/19 at 11:14 P.M., revealed Resident #63 had an acute (sudden) transcervical versus basicervical left hip fracture. Review of the progress note dated 07/07/19 at 1:35 A.M., revealed the facility contacted Resident #63's physician with the hip x-ray results and the resident was sent to the hospital emergency room for evaluation. Review of the hospital history and physical dated 07/07/19 revealed Resident #63 presented to the acute care hospital with the chief complaint of hip pain. The note documented the resident had an x-ray of the left hip which revealed an acute left subcapital femoral neck fracture. Interview on 07/16/19 at 5:13 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Nurse Supervisor (NS) #285 revealed Resident #63 had been out of the facility with family on 07/04/19, transferring in and out of a car multiple times. The DON reported the family was adamant the resident was not in any pain during the outing. The DON and NS #285 revealed the staff noted hip pain on 07/06/19, an x-ray revealed a hip fracture, and an order was received to send the resident to the hospital for treatment. The DON and NS #285 denied the resident had any bruising to the hips prior to sending the resident to the hospital. Interview on 07/17/19 at 9:56 A.M., with the DON revealed Resident #63's hip fracture was not related to the fall on 06/26/19, and the facility thought something may have happened when the resident went out with the family 07/04/19. She was unsure if the facility investigated the injury of unknown origin. Interview on 07/17/19 at 10:47 A.M., with NS #285 revealed Resident #63 had a fall on 06/26/19 and had no signs of injury at the time. NS #285 confirmed the resident went out of the facility with the family on 07/04/19 and the family denied there was any injury or incident while transferring the resident in and out of the car. NS #285 revealed the facility then attributed the resident's hip fracture to the fall sustained on 06/26/19 (10 days prior). NS #285 verified the facility had no evidence a thorough written investigation was completed when the injury was discovered, including interviews/written statements with the STNA who assisted the resident to bed and reported the resident's sudden severe pain on 07/06/19 or other staff. Interview on 07/17/19 at 11:15 A.M., with the DON verified the facility did not have evidence of a written investigation of Resident #63's hip fracture. There were no injuries from staff who provided care up to the time of the noted injury. The DON verified the facility did not submit a Self-Reported Incident (SRI) to the state survey agency for the injury of unknown source. During an additional interview on 07/17/19 at 1:50 P.M., at the request of the DON, the DON revealed the facility had always thought Resident #63's hip fracture was related to her fall on 06/26/19, which was 10 days prior. NS #285 presented an unsigned, undated summary/timeline of the events surrounding the resident's fracture and stated she had just written it today (07/17/19). The summary noted the resident's daughter stated she would have noticed if the resident was having pain on 07/04/19, and there was no pain noted on 07/05/19. NS #285 also presented an undated written statement signed by the STNA who assisted the resident to bed when the resident initially complained of hip pain on 07/06/19. NS #285 verified the STNA had just written the statement today (07/17/19). Review of the facility policy titled, Resident Abuse revised 03/09/09, revealed an injury should be classified as an injury of unknown source when the source of the injury was not observed by any person, or the source of the injury could not be explained by the resident, and the injury is suspicious because of the extent of the injury or the location of the injury. The policy further revealed when a serious injury of an unknown source is reported, the DON or appointed designee and a member of social services would investigate the incident, the incident would be reported to the Ohio Department of Health within 24 hours and the investigation completed within five days.

Based on observation, interviews, review of Diet Spreadsheet and review of list of residents prescribe diets the facility failed to provide adequate portions of food to meet the nutritional needs of the residents. This affected seven Residents (#7, #20, #31, #36, #53, #59, #72) on the Garden Side Hall whom were prescribed a regular diet, 26 Residents (#1, #9, #13, #16, #18, #19, #23, #25, #26, #27, #33, #38, #39 #44, #46, #50, #57, #60, #63, #74, #78, #79, #81, #83, #87, #89) on the Gardens Hall whom were prescribed regular and mechanical soft diets, eight Residents (#6, #10, #15, #55, #64, #66, #67, #75) on the Hillside Hall who were on pureed and mechanical soft diets, and one Resident (#45) on the Orchard Hall prescribed a pureed diet. The facility census was 106. Findings include: 1. Observation on 06/13/18 at 11:13 A.M. of the Orchards Hall pantry serving area revealed Food Service Specialist (FSS) #241 was unable to identify which pan on the steam table contained the pureed tomato rice soup and which contained the pureed beef stew. FSS #241 asked Nutrition Supervisor (NS) #124, whom was present at the pantry, if the food should be sampled to determine what it was but it was then decided, without tasting, which pan contained the soup and which one contained the stew although they appeared identical in color and texture. FSS #241 then served Resident #45 four ounces of the soup in the pan which was identified as pureed tomato rice soup. Review of Diet Spreadsheet for 06/13/18 revealed with FSS #241 and NS #124 revealed pureed diet was to receive six ounces of tomato rice soup. Interview with NS #124 at the time of the observation confirmed Resident #45 was served the incorrect amount of soup and was served four ounces instead of six ounces of soup. 2. Observation on 06/13/18 at 11:53 A.M. of the Hillside Hall pantry serving area revealed two mechanical soft summer beef stew, one with a three ounce serving scoop, the other with a six ounce serving scoop, and pureed summer beef stew with a four ounce serving scoop. Interview at the time of the observation with [NAME] #197 first identified the mechanical soft summer beef stew with the six ounce serving scoop as the mechanical meat and identified the one with the three ounce serving scoop as pureed. [NAME] #197 then consulted with Food Service Supervisor #192 whom confirmed the pans with the six and three ounce serving scoops were both mechanical meats and should have the same six ounce serving scoop. They then decided the pan with the four ounce scoop was pureed meat, initially they were unsure if it was meat or soup but then decided it was meat as the soup was located in another area. Food Service Supervisor #192 confirmed residents on pureed diets were being served four ounces of summer beef stew. Review of the Diet Spreadsheet for 06/13/18 revealed mechanical soft diets and pureed diets were to receive six ounces of summer beef stew. 3. Observation on 06/13/18 at 4:45 P.M. of the Gardens Hall pantry serving area revealed residents on a regular diet were being served three ounces of green beans by FSS #199. Interview with FSS #199 at the time of the observation verified the residents received three ounces of green beans. Review of Diet Spreadsheet for 06/13/18 revealed regular diets were to receive four ounces of green beans. 4. Observation on 06/13/18 at 4:53 P.M. of the Garden Side Hall revealed residents were served three ounces of potatoes by State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #163. Interview at the time of the observation with STNA #163 confirmed residents on a regular diet received three ounces of potatoes. Review of Diet Spreadsheet for 06/13/18 revealed regular diets were to receive 4 ounces of Au Gratin Potatoes at dinner. Interview on 06/14/18 at 11:42 A.M. with NS #194 acknowledged the wrong serving size scoops were utilized for lunch and dinner on 06/13/18. NS #194 reported the Diet Spreadsheets were based upon residents likes, dislikes, and then reviewed by the dietician to ensure adequate nutritional needs were met. The facility provided a list of all Residents with prescribed diets which included seven Residents (#7, #20, #31, #36, #53, #59, #72) on the Garden Side Hall whom were prescribed a regular diet, 26 Residents (#1, #9, #13, #16, #18, #19, #23, #25, #26, #27, #33, #38, #39 #44, #46, #50, #57, #60, #63, #74, #78, #79, #81, #83, #87, #89) on the Gardens Hall whom were prescribed regular and mechanical soft diets, eight Residents (#6, #10, #15, #55, #64, #66, #67, #75) on the Hillside Hall on pureed and mechanical soft diets, and one Resident (#45) on the Orchard Hall prescribed a pureed diet.

Who Owns and Operates Bayley Place?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"

Is Bayley Place Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, BAYLEY PLACE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Ohio.

BAYLEY PLACE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
