The Administrator revealed the facility has a transport vehicle that they can use to assist residents getting to and from appointments, however the resident has to be in a wheelchair, Broda chair or ambulatory to be transported by the facility so the resident can be securely transported in their bus. If a resident uses a motorized wheelchair for mobility, they are transported using either a wheelchair or Broda chair. Interview with Resident #10 on 01/03/22 at 11:05 A.M. revealed the resident had no concerns with her belonging, stated she knew when she left her apartment that she was leaving all of her belongings due to the bug infestation.

Resident #10 stated after a week in the hospital, the power chair was returned to her hospital room and the hospital staff stated the chair had been treated. The resident stated after the chair was placed in her room she saw bed bugs on the chair and alerted the hospital staff. The resident stated she was moved to an isolation room and the hospital removed her chair and she did not know where they placed it. The resident stated her chair did not come to the nursing facility as it must be professionally cleaned and the hospital will not allow an outside company to come on their property and clean the chair. The resident stated she does not want bed bugs and does not want the chair if it has bugs in it but stated she has funds in the bank to have the chair cleaned but the facility wont allow it on the property unless it has a certification stating it is bug free and the hospital will not allow an outside company access to their property to treat the chair. The resident verified she has a chair at the nursing facility she can get up in but she often chooses to not get in the chair as she does not know when staff will have the time to put her back in bed. The resident stated the last time she was up was on 12/25/22. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 01/03/22 at 3:28 P.M. revealed when Resident #10 admitted from the hospital the transport company refused to bring the chair in their transport vehicle due to the bedbug infestation. The DON stated Resident #10 and the hospital were communicating on the power chair and how to get the chair to the resident. The DON stated the resident was informed the facility required a certificate from the exterminator that the chair was bug free. The DON stated on admission the hospital had included a report that stated they sprayed the chair base, but not a follow up report that the chair was bug free. The DON revealed she had spoken to a the company which supplied Resident #10 with the power chair and had been informed the company will not touch the chair until it has been verified it was free of bedbugs. The DON stated the company had parts for the power chair and had gone to the Resident home to install the parts and had seen bedbugs climbing out of the power chair wheels and motor and they left the home without completing the part change out. The DON stated the company had conflicting reports on the status of the chair as one person stated the chair was not working while another one stated the power chair works just fine as it is without the parts being replaced. The DON stated no one at the facility has worked with the hospital to get Resident #10's power chair cleaned. The DON stated the resident had been on the phone with the hospital but she was no sure what the process would be to get the power chair cleaned and who is responsible to ensure it is returned to the resident. The DON stated the hospital told the facility on admission the power chair had been sitting outside in the cold so there should not be any bedbugs alive on the chair. The DON stated the resident items the hospital sent at the time of admission were in a bag with what smelled like rubbing alcohol and the liquid was immersing all the belongings. The DON stated the items were the power cord to the power chair, phone charging cord, wallet, and a Bible. The DON stated the items in her wallet were removed, cleaned and returned to the resident, and the facility bought the resident a replacement Bible. The DON stated she is fairly sure the power cord is ruined as it was immersed in a liquid solution that smelled like rubbing alcohol. The DON stated this is why the facility needs a certificate that the chair is bug free as the hospitals process for cleaning Resident #10's personal items was not concurrent with the standard process of treating for bedbugs. The DON verified the power chair is Resident #10's personal property and confirmed it is what the resident uses to be independently mobile. The DON reiterated the chair had to have a certificate of being bug free to enter the facility and the hospital has not provided the facility with the certificate. Interview with the DON on 01/03/22 at 4:02 P.M. revealed the facility did receive information from the hospital regarding the resident room at the hospital and the power chair being treated by an exterminator in the hospital. The DON stated the report revealed the room base boards and the power chair were treatment with the total treatment time of six minutes. The DON stated the exterminator's report did not guarantee the chair was bug free. The DON stated after she received the exterminator report from the hospital the Administrator and the facilities corporate office had an email exchange were the Administrator explained the issues with the power chair and corporate stated it is a risk to take the chair to the facility. The Administrator replied she is not willing to take the risk in her email dated 11/21/22. The DON stated after email exchange she did communicate with the hospital and she was told the hospital would treat the chair and provide the facility with the required documentation, however she has not heard from the hospital and verified it had been over a month since that interaction with the hospital had occurred an no communication had occurred. Interview with clinical regional nurse (CRN) #200 on 01/03/22 at 4:20 P.M. confirmed the resident had a power chair at the hospital and the report from the hospitals does not indicate the chair was treated fully in the motorized compartment to ensure no bugs were present, and the facility could not take it or they would be negligent by bringing an a piece of equipment that would introduce bedbugs into the facility. The CRN stated he understands it is how the resident is independently mobile, but as the chair is not here, he did not know how to facilitate it being cleaned to get it to be safe to come to the facility. CRN #200 verified the last facility documentation regarding the resident power chair was from the hospital on [DATE] and stated the chair was in a room that was sprayed for bedbugs, but the report did not detail if the chair was free of bed bugs and if the motorized compartment was spayed to ensure no bugs were present. The CRN stated he does not know how the facility would facilitate the chair being cleaned to the point of no bugs when it is not on their property. He also verified the facility had no documentation in over a month of what steps they are attempting to get the chair returned to the resident. Interview with the DON 01/03/22 at 5:00 P.M. revealed she spoke to the company who services the power chair and it was confirmed the documentation provided by the outside hospital did not meet their criteria enabling them to work on the chair as the paperwork did not have a reinspection report indicating the chair was free of bugs. The DON verified she had received an email from the hospital on this date and it confirmed Resident #10's power chair is still at the hospital. The DON stated she informed the hospital again that the facility needed a reinspection report certifying the power chair was free of bugs and the facility would be happy to take the chair into the facility for the resident's use. The DON stated the hospital stated they would have to get back to her, and she has not heard back.

Based on record review, observation, review of the facility's policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents received medications as physician ordered, resulting in a medication error rate above five percent (%). There were four medications errors out of 27 opportunities, resulting in a medication error rate of 18.5%. This affected two ( Resident #35 and #39) of three residents observed during medication pass. The facility census was 42. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #39 revealed an admission date of 07/17/17 with diagnoses including long term use of insulin, atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, type II diabetes mellitus (DM), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and acute on chronic combined congestive systolic and diastolic heart failure.

Documentation (including electronic) the individual who administers the medication dose records the administration on the resident's eMAR directly after the medication is given. At the end of each medication pass, the person administering the medications reviews the eMAR to ensure necessary doses were administered and documented. In no case should the individual who administered the medications report off-duty without first recording the administration of any medications. If a dose of regularly scheduled medication is withheld, refused, not available, or given at a time other than the scheduled time, documentation of the unadministered dose is none as instructed by the procedures for use of the eMAR system. An explanatory note is entered. Review of the policy titled Injectable Medication Administration, effective 07/01/21, revealed the purpose is to administer medications via subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular routes in a safe, accurate, and effective manner. Specific medication administration procedures revealed for pen devices nurses dial dose as instructed by pen manufacturer. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH00131223.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review, observations, staff interviews and policy review, the facility failed to implement the care planned interventions to reduce falls/accidents for one (Resident #22) of four residents reviewed for falls. The census was 50. Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident #22 revealed an admission date of 04/10/16 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's dementia, depression and anxiety. Review of the resident's fall investigations revealed the resident had three recent falls with no major injuries on 05/20/19, 06/08/19 and 06/12/19 that occurred when she did not call for staff assistance. Review of the most recent fall risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was at high risk for falls/accidents. Review of the care plan for interventions to reduce falls/accidents revised on 07/19/19 revealed to keep the resident's bed in lowest position when she was in bed except when providing care and encourage non skid/gripper socks.

Review of the policy titled Falls Policy and Procedures dated 05/21/18 revealed applicable interventions were implemented in accordance with the resident's fall risk assessment.

Based on observation, staff interview and review of the policy and procedure for isolation practices, the facility failed to ensure transmission-based precautions were followed for a resident in contact isolation. This affected one (Resident #1) of one resident reviewed for isolation/infection control. The facility census was 50. Findings include: Review of Resident #1's physician's orders for August 2019 revealed the resident was on contact isolation precautions for Clostridium Difficile (C-diff). Review of the physician's progress note for Resident #1 for 08/02/19 written by the Certified Nurse Practitioner, revealed the resident still required contact isolation at that time due to not having formed bowel movements. The resident continued to have liquid stools and was on long term antibiotics. Observation during medication administration on 08/14/19 at 7:57 A.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #79 revealed she prepared the medications outside the room of Resident #1 at the medication cart. The signage on the door stated to see nurse before entering the room. Resident #1 was noted to be in contact isolation. LPN #79 took medications inside the room and did not wear any personal protective equipment, i.e. gowns, she did put on gloves prior to entering room. LPN #79 stated the resident was still on Vancomycin antibiotic for C-diff but was not considered to have C-diff anymore yet remained in isolation for precautions because he still was having diarrhea. LPN #79 entered the room and laid the residents insulin pen on the bed directly on the sheets. She took the residents blood pressure and pulse and then administered the resident's oral medications. She then administered the insulin injection into the abdominal area on the left side. She walked to the bathroom, removed her gloves and had her back toward the surveyor while washing her hands. When she turned around, she had the insulin pen under her arm, holding it while she cleaned her hands. The pen came in direct contact with the nurse's uniform. She then took the pen out to the medication cart, removed the needle and placed it into the sharps container and placed the pen into a plastic bag and back into the cart. The room did not contain a sharps container for the needle to be disposed of. LPN #79 confirmed this at the time of the observation. Interview on 07/15/19 at 2:30 P.M., with the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #444 revealed she felt the resident still needed to be in contact isolation because even though his laboratory results were negative in the past, they have sent him to the hospital and it comes back positive for C-diff but when we get results at the facility they are negative. He has had recurrence of this twice and they have been trying to find out what was going on with him. He had a follow up with another doctor soon. Review of the Isolation Practices, policy #6102,(not dated or approved), revealed transmission-based precautions consisted of additional measures designed to be used with Standard Precautions to further reduce the risk of disease transmission. Contact precautions: Place resident in a private room, wear gloves upon entrance to the room and at all times; wash hands or sanitize hands, wear a gown when entering the room if contamination is at all possible, use additional precautions for preventing the spread of multi-drug resistant organism. An order would be obtained to initiate isolation; responsible party will be contacted for notification.
