Overview

Ra Ann Geneva has received a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and falls in the middle of the pack compared to other facilities. It ranks #764 out of 913 in Ohio, placing it in the bottom half, and #12 out of 12 in Ashtabula County, indicating there are no better local options. Unfortunately, the facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 16 in 2025. Staffing is rated 2 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate is below the Ohio average at 40%, suggesting that staff often remain in their positions. While there were no fines reported, the RN coverage is average, which means that residents may not have as much oversight from nursing staff as in some other facilities. Specific areas of concern include the failure to ensure the medical director attended critical quality meetings, which could affect all residents. Additionally, the facility has not maintained the floors in a safe and clean condition, with visible wear and soil in various areas. There were also reports of food being served at inappropriate temperatures, with residents noting that meals were often cold, which can affect their enjoyment and nutrition. Overall, while there are some strengths like the lack of fines and lower turnover, the increasing issues and specific incidents raise concerns about the quality of care at Ra Ann Geneva.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview, review of the facility self-reported incident (SRI) and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure Primary Care Physician (PCP) #600 was notified of Resident #9's unknown injury. This affected one (Resident #9) out of one resident reviewed for notification of change in condition. The facility census was 66. Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident #9 revealed an admission date of 10/10/20 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, muscle weakness, cirrhosis of liver, diabetes, and hypertension. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #9 had impaired cognition. She required substantial to maximum assistance with toileting hygiene and lower dressing. She required partial to moderate assistance with transfers. Review of the nursing note dated 04/28/25 authored by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #404 revealed Resident #9 had scattered discoloration noted during her shower. She had large discoloration to her right side including right forearm, right arm, right inner thigh, and right breast. She also had bruising on the inside of her left arm. The note revealed administration was notified, but there was no documented evidence that PCP #600 was notified of the bruising. Review of the undated care plan revealed Resident #9 had the potential for bleeding and bruising related to antiplatelet medication. Interventions included administering medications as ordered, holding medication as indicated, and monitoring for signs of bleeding/ bruising and reporting to the physician. Review of the May 2025 physician's orders revealed Resident #9 had an order for Plavix (blood thinner) 75 milligram (mg) tablet by mouth one time a day for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (blood clot). Review of SRI tracking number 259787 with a date of discovery of 04/28/25 revealed the facility filed an incident involving Resident #9 having an injury of unknown source. The SRI revealed on 04/28/25 at 12:23 P.M. Resident #9 was in the shower room and had a large discoloration to her right side including her right forearm, right arm, right breast and right inner thigh. She also had discoloration on the inside of her left arm. Resident #9 was unaware of how the bruises occurred and denied pain. The SRI revealed the bruises were likely from a gait belt and assistance with transfers as well as Resident #9 was on Plavix. The SRI was unsubstantiated for abuse. There was no documented evidence that PCP #600 was notified of the bruising and unknown injury. Review of the incident report dated 04/28/25 and completed by LPN #404 revealed Resident #9 had scattered discoloration noted during her shower. She had large discoloration to her right side including right forearm, right breast and right inner thigh. She also had bruising to her left upper arm. Resident #9 was unaware when it had happened and denied pain. The immediate action indicated that the Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator were notified. There was no documented evidence that PCP #600 was notified of the bruising. Interview on 05/20/25 at 7:53 A.M. with Resident #9 revealed she denied any abuse or that staff was rough during her care. She had no recollection of the incident on 04/28/25 regarding the bruising but stated, probably bumped something as she revealed, I bruise easy, always have. Interview on 05/20/25 at 4:08 P.M. with the DON verified there was no documented evidence that PCP #600 was notified of Resident #9's unknown injury (bruising to her right side including right forearm, right breast, right inner thigh and bruising to her left upper arm) that was discovered on 04/28/25. She revealed she was unsure why the nurse did not contact PCP #600 as she stated, it should have been done. Review of the facility policy labeled, Anticoagulation- Clinical Protocol, dated November 2018, revealed the staff and physician would monitor for possible complications in residents who were being anticoagulated and manage related problems. The policy revealed if a resident showed signs of excessive bruising, hematuria (blood in urine), or other evidence of bleeding the nurse would discuss the situation with the physician before giving the next scheduled dose of medication. The policy also revealed the physician would order measures to address any complications. Review of the facility policy labeled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, dated February 2021, revealed the facility promptly notified the resident, and the resident's physician of changes in the resident's medical/mental condition or status. The policy revealed the nurse would notify the resident's physician when there was an accident or incident involving the resident, discovery of injuries of unknown source, and/or need to alter resident's medical treatment.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure as needed (PRN) psychotropic medication was reviewed by a practitioner after 14 days for necessity and appropriateness. This affected one (Resident #33) out of five residents reviewed for psychotropic medications. The facility census was 66. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #33 revealed an admission date of 03/20/19 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, major depressive disorder recurrent, adjustment disorder with anxiety, and vascular dementia. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #33 had severe cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan last reviewed on 03/12/25 revealed Resident #33 had potential for adverse effects from antianxiety medications and used PRN antianxiety medications for anxiety. Interventions included administering medications as ordered by a physician and monitoring/documenting side effects and effectiveness. Review of the physician orders for Resident #33 revealed a routine order dated 09/23/24 for Vistaril (a sedative/hypnotic which is a psychotropic) 25 milligrams (mg) twice daily for anxiety or agitation. Another order was added on 04/01/25 for Vistaril 25 mg every six hours PRN for anxiety or agitation. There was no duration ordered for the psychotropic. Review of the pharmacy recommendation dated 04/07/25 revealed a pharmacist requested Resident #33's PRN order for Vistaril 25 mg every six hours for anxiety be reviewed by a practitioner after 14 days as required for psychotropics. The physician did not review the medication as recommended until 05/08/25 when the physician ordered the medication to continue for three months due to anxiety. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for April 2025 indicated the PRN Vistaril order was administered on 04/07/25 and 04/29/25. Further review of the physician orders for Resident #33 revealed the PRN Vistaril order dated 04/01/25 which had no duration was changed on 05/09/25 to Vistaril 25 mg every six hours PRN for anxiety or agitation for a duration of three months. Review of the physician progress notes from 04/01/25 to 05/08/25 revealed no review of the PRN psychotropic after 14 days as required. Interview on 05/21/25 at 12:17 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #33's PRN psychotropic medication (Vistaril) was not reviewed by the physician within 14 days as required. The DON confirmed the pharmacist recommendation on 04/07/25 was not addressed timely until 05/08/25 in which the psychotropic medication continued until then. Review of the facility policy, Antipsychotic Medication Use, revised December 2016, revealed residents would not receive PRN doses of psychotropic medications unless the medication was necessary to treat a specific condition documented in the clinical record. The need to continue PRN orders for psychotropic medications beyond 14 days required the practitioner to document the rationale for the extended order, and the duration of the PRN order would be indicated within the order.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #140 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including PTSD, recurrent major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and alcohol dependence with unspecified alcohol use disorder. Review of the baseline care plan dated 05/13/25 revealed Resident #140 was new to the nursing facility, had adjustment issues related to admission, had the potential for bleeding, was ordered physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT), had the potential for skin impaired skin integrity, had skin impairments noted on admission, was admitted on a regular diet, was admitted with anti-anxiety medications, was dependent on the facility's activities staff for activities and social interaction, was at risk for falls, and was at risk for nutritional problems related to class three morbid obesity. There was no information found in the baseline care plan related to Resident #140's diagnosis of PTSD. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/19/25 at 4:26 P.M. verified there were no care plans used for trauma informed care, to obtain information on the resident's triggers, and confirmed there was no information on Resident #140's Kardex. Interview on 05/20/25 at 2:24 P.M. revealed SSD #318 will be doing a brief trauma assessment for residents with PTSD/trauma going forward, did not complete one until yesterday 05/19/25 for Resident #140 and had a meeting with the resident and the resident's family, but typically the assessments should be completed within 48 hours of admission so it could be reflected on the baseline care plan, but in this case, that did not get done prior to the baseline care plan being completed, so trauma care was not on the residents baseline care plan, but should have been. Review of Residents 140's Brief Trauma Questionnaire revealed it was completed on 05/19/25 at 3:59 P.M. Interview with the MDS Coordinator #333 on 05/20/25 at 4:03 P.M. confirmed that the resident did not have a baseline care plan in place within the first 48 hours for PTSD. The care plan was initiated on 05/16/25. Based on record reviews, interviews and facility policy review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive care plan to include trauma-informed care for Residents #25 and #140. This affected two (Residents #25 and #140) out of two residents reviewed for trauma-informed care. The facility reported two (Residents #25 and #140) who had trauma related diagnoses. The facility census was 66. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 02/18/17 with diagnoses of dementia, major depressive disorder recurrent, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Review of the quarterly MDS assessment completed 01/11/25 revealed Resident #25 had moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the physician orders effective May 2025 revealed no orders related to trauma-informed care other than to consult psychotherapies. Review of the assessments for Resident #25 revealed no trauma screening or assessments completed since admission. Review of the nursing progress notes from May 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation relevant to Resident #25's trauma or trauma-informed care. Review of the physician progress notes from psychiatric services on 11/18/24, 12/09/24, 01/14/25, 02/10/25, 03/10/25 and 05/05/25 revealed no documentation relevant to Resident #25's trauma or trauma-informed care. Review of the care plan dated 02/18/17 and last updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #25 had impaired cognition including poor memory and poor choices. The resident had depression, anxiety, and a history of alcohol abuse, who demonstrated behaviors related to maintaining personal space. There was no reference in the care plan relevant to Resident #25's trauma including triggers and trauma-informed care. Review of the nursing assistant Kardex for Resident #25 effective 05/19/25 indicated no information relevant to trauma-informed care. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:26 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified there were no assessments used for trauma informed care and no information on Resident #25's trauma, triggers or needed interventions to care for the resident's PTSD which included in the care plan, Kardex and progress notes. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:52 P.M. with Resident #25 denied any staff had discussed or asked questions related to the PTSD or trauma. Interview on 05/20/25 2:24 P.M. with Social Services Director (SSD) #318 verified there was no trauma assessment completed for Resident #25 to contribute to trauma-informed care. SSD #318 indicated a trauma assessment should have been completed within 48 hours after admission so it would reflect on the baseline care plan and then into the comprehensive care plan thereafter. Resident #25 had no trauma assessment completed upon admission and none afterwards so therefore it was not included in the care plan. Review of the facility policy, Trauma Informed Care, revised March 2019, revealed trauma-informed care was culturally sensitive and person-centered. Review of the facility policy, Using the Care Plan, revised August 2006, revealed the care plan would be used in developing the resident's daily care routines and available to staff who have responsibility for providing care or services to the resident.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, interviews and facility policy review, the facility failed to properly monitor and maintain safety interventions which were in place for Resident #25. This affected one (Resident #25) out of two residents reviewed for safety interventions. The facility census was 66. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 02/18/17 with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus type two, dementia, major depressive disorder recurrent, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed 01/11/25 revealed Resident #25 had moderate cognitive impairment. Review of a physician order dated 09/17/24 indicated Resident #25 had an alarming Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. Another physician order dated 03/17/25 specified an additional pressure alarm was applied to the wheelchair for safety. Review of the assessments for Resident #25 revealed there were none completed for either the alarming seat belt on 09/17/24 or the pressure alarm on 03/17/25, and none thereafter to determine necessity and appropriateness. Review of the care plan updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #25 had impaired cognition including poor memory and poor choices. Resident #25 also had potential for falls related to limited range of motion of the right lower extremity, poor balance, poor safety awareness, and a history of falls. Staff were to be sure a call light was in reach and maintain a pressure alarm to the wheelchair to alert staff to unassisted rising. The alarming Velcro seat belt was not addressed in the care plan. Review of the progress notes from September 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation to justify the use of either the alarming seat belt or pressure alarm for Resident #25 or to monitor those devices. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) from April 2025 to May 2025 revealed Resident #25's seat belt was checked every shift for placement and functioning, and the pressure alarm was checked twice daily for placement and functioning for safety. Review of the nursing assistant [NAME] (summary of resident information) for Resident #25 effective 05/19/25 indicated to maintain a pressure alarm to the wheelchair to alert staff to unassisted rising. The physician ordered seat belt was not listed on the [NAME] to inform nursing assistants of the safety order. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:35 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #25 had an alarming Velcro seat belt and pressure alarm ordered without any assessments to ensure it was necessary and appropriate. The care plan did not address these devices with any plan for monitoring or assessments. Observation on 05/20/25 at 1:37 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #364 of Resident #25 verified there was no physician ordered seatbelt or pressure alarm in place for safety or positioning. Interview at the time of the observation with CNA #364 could not state when or why the devices were not in place. An interview on 05/20/25 at 1:52 P.M. with Resident #25 denied remembering when the alarm or seat belt was last used. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:54 P.M. with Registered Nursing (RN) #431 confirmed both the seat belt and pressure alarm devices were not in place as ordered and were signed off on the TAR as being checked and in place as safety interventions. RN #431 indicated the devices were removed some time ago but could not identify when but remembered it was because Resident #25 was no longer trying to get up without assistance. A second review of the progress notes from September 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation to identify the removal of the alarming seat belt or pressure alarm for Resident #25. Observation on 05/21/25 at 12:13 P.M. of Resident #25 being transported to the dining room via wheelchair revealed no visible seat belt or alarming device in place. Review of the facility policy, Managing Falls and Fall Risk, revised March 2018, revealed position-change alarms will not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls, but rather to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the resident. The use of alarms will be monitored for efficacy, and staff will document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce falls or the risks of falling. If interventions were successful in preventing falling, staff would continue the interventions or reconsider whether the measures were still needed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview, observation and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to clean Resident #10's Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) (machine used to treat sleep apnea) equipment and mask as recommended. This affected one (Resident #10) out of one resident reviewed for use of CPAP. This had the potential to affect two (Residents #9 and #10) who had orders for CPAPs. The facility census was 66. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #10 revealed an admission date of 11/03/21 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes and hypertension. Review of the undated care plan revealed Resident #10 had diagnoses of COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. Resident #10 utilized a BiPap (Bilevel positive airway pressure) with oxygen every night. Interventions included oxygen therapy as ordered, head of bed elevated as tolerated, and monitor for difficulty breathing. There was nothing in the care plan regarding cleaning of respiratory equipment. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #10 had intact cognition. She required oxygen therapy and was on a non-invasive mechanical ventilator. Review of the nursing notes dated 04/01/25 to 05/18/25 revealed no documentation regarding Resident #10's CPAP equipment and/or mask was cleaned. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for April 2025 and May 2025 revealed there were no orders/documentation regarding the cleaning of Resident #10's CPAP equipment and/or mask. Review of the May 2025 Physician Orders revealed Resident #10 had an order to wear a CPAP when sleeping at night and as needed during the day. There were no orders regarding cleaning of CPAP equipment and/or mask. Interview on 05/18/25 at 10:58 A.M. with Resident #10 revealed she wore a CPAP at night and was concerned as the staff never cleaned her CPAP equipment and/or mask. She revealed she was concerned about getting an infection due to the equipment being dirty. Observation on 05/18/25 at 10:58 A.M. revealed Resident #10's CPAP machine was sitting on her dresser with her mask hanging on a clip on the wall. Observations on 05/19/25 at 9:30 A.M., 05/19/25 at 11:59 A.M., and 05/20/25 at 7:56 A.M. revealed no indication Resident #10's CPAP machine, equipment and mask were cleaned. Interview on 05/20/25 at 2:00 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #304 revealed she was the nurse assigned to care for Resident #10 and was frequently on her unit. She revealed she was unsure who cleaned the CPAP equipment and/or mask as nothing was on the TAR to indicate the floor nurse was to clean it. She verified she had not cleaned the equipment when she was assigned to Resident #10. Interview on 05/20/25 at 2:04 P.M. with LPN #312 revealed when she was first asked if she handled cleaning of CPAP equipment and/or masks she stated, well that is the question as she stated she was going to transfer the cleaning to Respiratory/Registered Nurse (RN) #360 as she had too much to manage with the wounds and medical records. When this surveyor attempted to clarify the cleaning of the CPAP equipment, LPN #312 revealed there was no official cleaning schedule and/or procedure that she followed. She verified she had no documentation in regard to when Resident #10's CPAP equipment and/or mask was cleaned in the last two months. Interview on 05/20/25 at 2:05 P.M. with MDS Coordinator/LPN #333 verified there was nothing in the care plan regarding cleaning the CPAP equipment and/or mask. She revealed the care plan should have indicated she utilized a CPAP not a BiPap. Interview on 05/20/25 at 2:15 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the facility did not have a system in place regarding when the CPAP equipment and/or masks were getting cleaned. She verified there was no documentation regarding the cleaning of Resident #10's CPAP equipment and/or mask. She revealed there should have been an order placed on the TAR indicating how the equipment was to be cleaned, how often it should have been cleaned and the nurse documenting when it was cleaned. Review of the facility policy, Care of the BiPap/ CPAP Equipment, dated 01/17/09, revealed the objective of the policy was to decrease the risk of infections and maintain a clean environment.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #140 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including PTSD, anxiety disorder, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and alcohol dependence with unspecified alcohol use disorder. Review of the baseline care plan dated 05/13/25 revealed Resident #140 was new to the nursing facility, had adjustment issues related to admission, had the potential for bleeding, was ordered physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT), had the potential for skin impaired skin integrity, had skin impairments noted on admission, was admitted on a regular diet, was admitted with anti-anxiety medications, was dependent on the facility's activities staff for activities and social interaction, was at risk for falls, and was at risk for nutritional problems related to class three morbid obesity. There was no information found in the baseline care plan related to Resident #140's diagnosis of PTSD. The interview with the DON on 05/19/25 at 4:26 P.M. verified there were no care plans related to Resident #140's trauma informed care, no evidence the facility obtained information on resident's triggers, and verified there was no information related to trauma-informed care on the Kardex. Interview with SSD #318 on 05/20/25 at 2:24 P.M. will be doing a brief trauma assessment for residents with PTSD/trauma going forward, did not complete one until yesterday, 05/19/25, for Resident #140 and had a meeting with the resident and the resident's family, but typically the assessments should be completed within 48 hours of admission so it is reflected on the baseline care plan, but in this case, that did not get done prior to the baseline care plan being completed, so trauma care was not on it, but it should have been. Review of Residents #140's Brief Trauma Questionnaire confirmed it was completed on 05/19/25 at 3:59 P.M. Interview on 05/20/25 at 3:43 P.M. with the [NAME] verified there was no evidence of staff training on trauma-informed care, but the trauma assessment and staff training were being implemented to take place this Thursday, 05/22/25. Interview with the MDS Coordinator #333 on 05/20/25 at 4:03 P.M. confirmed that Resident #140 did not have a baseline care plan in place within the first 48 hours for PTSD. The pare plan was initiated on 05/16/25. Review of the facility policy titled, Trauma Informed Care, revised in March 2019, revealed all staff are to be provided with in-service training about trauma, its impact on health, and PTSD in the context of the healthcare setting, nursing staff are to be trained on screening tools, trauma assessment and how to identify triggers associated with re-traumatization. The facility supports a culture of emotional well-being and physical safety for staff, residents and visitors. Trauma-informed care is culturally sensitive, and person-centered caregivers are taught strategies to help eliminate, mitigate or sensitively address a resident's triggers and implement universal screening of residents for trauma. Based on record reviews, interviews and facility policy review, the facility failed to adequately train staff on trauma related care and provide trauma-informed care to Residents #25 and #140. This affected two (Residents #25 and #140) out of two residents reviewed for trauma-informed care. The facility reported two (Residents #25 and #140) who had trauma-related diagnoses. The facility census was 66. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 02/18/17 with diagnoses of dementia, major depressive disorder recurrent, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed 01/11/25 revealed Resident #25 had moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #25 had impaired cognition including poor memory and poor choices. The resident had depression, anxiety, and a history of alcohol abuse, who demonstrated behaviors related to maintaining personal space. There was no reference in the care plan relevant to Resident #25's trauma including triggers and trauma-informed care. Review of the physician orders effective May 2025 revealed no orders related to trauma-informed care other than to consult psychotherapies. Review of the assessments for Resident #25 revealed no trauma screening or assessments completed since admission. Review of the nursing progress notes from May 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation relevant to Resident #25's trauma or trauma-informed care. Review of the physician progress notes from psychiatric services on 11/18/24, 12/09/24, 01/14/25, 02/10/25, 03/10/25 and 05/05/25 revealed no documentation relevant to Resident #25's trauma or trauma-informed care. Review of the nursing assistant Kardex for Resident #25 effective 05/19/25 indicated no information relevant to trauma-informed care. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:26 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified there were no assessments used for trauma-informed care and no information on Resident #25's trauma, triggers or needed interventions to care for the resident's PTSD which included in the care plan, Kardex and progress notes. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:37 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #364 stated believing of hearing that Resident #25 had PTSD but was unaware of any information relevant to it such as cause, triggers or interventions needed to reduce anxiety or approach care. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:52 P.M. with Resident #25 denied talking to any staff related to the PTSD or trauma. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:54 P.M. with Registered Nursing (RN) #431 revealed no knowledge of Resident #25's trauma and care needs related to PTSD. Interview on 05/20/25 2:24 P.M. with Social Services Director (SSD) #318 verified there was no trauma assessment completed for Resident #25 to contribute to trauma-informed care. SSD #318 indicated a trauma assessment should have been completed within 48 hours after admission so it would reflect on the baseline care plan and then into the comprehensive care plan thereafter. Resident #25 had no trauma assessment completed upon admission and none afterwards so therefore it was not included in the care plan. Interview on 05/20/25 at 3:43 P.M. with the DON confirmed an inability to provide evidence the facility staff had received training related to trauma-informed care, trauma assessments, screening tools or strategies to address residents' triggers, but it was scheduled to be implemented on 05/22/25. Review of the facility policy, Trauma Informed Care, revised March 2019, revealed all staff were provided training about trauma, its impact on health, and PTSD in the context of the healthcare setting. Nursing staff were trained in screening tools, trauma assessment and how to identify triggers associated with re-traumatization. The facility supports a culture of emotional well-being and physical safety for staff, residents and visitors. Trauma-informed care was culturally sensitive and person-centered. Caregivers were taught strategies to help eliminate, mitigate or sensitively address a resident's triggers, and the facility implemented universal screening of residents for trauma.

Based on record review, interviews, review of facility policy, observation, the facility failed to ensure accurate documentation on the medication administration record (MAR) for Resident #43 and the treatment administration record (TAR) for Resident #25. The facility also failed to routinely assess seat belts and alarms for necessity, appropriateness and least restrictive. This affected two (Residents #25, and #43) out of 21 medical records reviewed for accuracy, and two (Residents #3 and #25) out of two residents reviewed for restraints. The facility identified 13 residents (#4, #5, #9, #11, #16, #25, #26, #29, #33, #38, #52, #64 and #135) who had seat belts or alarms as restrictive devices. The facility census was 66. Findings included:1. Review of the medical record for Resident #43 revealed an admission date of 12/20/21 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, indwelling urethral catheter, and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder. Review of the May 2025 physician's orders revealed Resident #43 had an order dated 05/16/25 for meropenem (antibiotic) intravenous solution one gram intravenously (IV) every eight hours for urinary tract infection (UTI). Review of the May 2025 MAR revealed Resident #43's order for meropenem IV was scheduled to be administered at 6:00 A.M., 2:00 P.M., and 10:00 P.M The MAR was blank on 05/17/25 at 6:00 A.M. and 05/18/25 at 2:00 P.M. indicating the meropenem was not administered. Review of undated care plan revealed Resident #43 was in IV antibiotic due to UTI that was to be administered from 05/16/25 to 05/23/25. Interventions included administering the antibiotic as ordered, and monitoring for side effects and effectiveness. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:39 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #304 verified the MAR was blank on 05/17/25 at 6:00 A.M. and 05/18/25 at 2:00 P.M. indicating the meropenem was not administered. She revealed she did not know if Resident #43's IV antibiotic was administered. Interview on 05/20/25 at 2:15 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the MAR was blank on 05/17/25 at 6:00 A.M. and 05/18/25 at 2:00 P.M. indicating the meropenem was not administered. She revealed she spoke with the nurses assigned to administer the IV antibiotics and they had stated they administered the medication but did not document the MAR. Review of the facility policy labeled, Charting and Documentation, dated July 2017, revealed documentation in the medical record would be complete and accurate. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 02/18/17 with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus type two, dementia, major depressive disorder recurrent, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Review of a physician order dated 09/17/24 indicated Resident #25 had an alarming Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. Another physician order dated 03/17/25 specified an additional pressure alarm was applied to the wheelchair for safety. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed 01/11/25 revealed Resident #25 had moderate cognitive impairment. Additional medical record review for Resident #25 revealed there were no assessments completed upon application of either the alarming seat belt on 09/17/24 or the pressure alarm on 03/17/25, and none thereafter for necessity, appropriateness or least restrictive. Review of the TAR from April 2025 to May 2025 revealed Resident #25's pressure alarm was checked twice daily at rising and bedtime, and the seat belt was checked every shift for placement and functioning. The pressure alarm was not signed as being checked on 04/07/25, 04/24/25, 04/28/25 and 05/14/25 at bedtime. The seat belt was not signed as being checked on 04/03/25 on night shift, and on 04/24/25 and 04/28/25 on evening shift. Review of the care plan updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #25 had impaired cognition including poor memory and poor choices. Resident #25 also had potential for falls related to limited range of motion of the right lower extremity, poor balance and poor safety awareness. Staff were to be sure a call light was in reach and maintain a pressure alarm to the wheelchair to alert staff to unassisted rising. The alarming Velcro seat belt was not addressed in the plan of care, and there was no plan to monitor either the seat belt or pressure alarm as necessary, appropriate or least restrictive. Review of the nursing assistant Kardex for Resident #25 effective 05/19/25 indicated to maintain a pressure alarm to the wheelchair to alert staff to unassisted rising. The physician ordered seat belt was not noted on the Kardex. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:35 P.M. with the DON verified Resident #25 had an alarming Velcro seat belt and pressure alarm ordered without any assessments to ensure it was not a restraint, necessary, appropriate and least restrictive. The care plan did not address these devices with any plan for monitoring or assessments. During the interview the DON was in the process of adding physician orders for nurses to monitor Resident #25's seat belt once every quarter to ensure it was not a restraint by checking to see if the resident could self-release it on command. The DON stated restrictive devices such as seat belts and alarms were to be assessed when applied and at least quarterly to ensure it was not a restraint. Review of the physician order written by the DON on 05/19/25 specified Resident #25 was able to release the seat belt on command and if not, it was to be reported. This check was to be completed daily every three months on the first of the month for three days, and it was to begin on 06/01/25. Observation on 05/20/25 at 1:37 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #364 of Resident #25 verified there was no physician ordered seatbelt or pressure alarm in place for safety or positioning. Interview at the time of the observation with CNA #364 could not state when or why the devices were not in place. An interview on 05/20/25 at 1:52 P.M. with Resident #25 denied remembering when the alarm or seat belt was last used or whether being able to release the seat belt when it was in place. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:54 P.M. with Registered Nursing (RN) #431 confirmed both the seat belt and pressure alarm devices were not in place as ordered and were signed off on the TAR as being checked and in place as safety interventions. RN #431 indicated the devices were removed some time ago but could not identify when but remembered it was because Resident #25 was no longer trying to get up without assistance. Review of the progress notes from September 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation to identify the removal of the alarming seat belt or pressure alarm for Resident #25. Observation on 05/21/25 at 12:13 P.M. of Resident #25 being transported to the dining room via wheelchair revealed no visible seat belt or alarming device in place. Interview on 05/20/25 at 4:31 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the seat belt and pressure alarm were not documented accurately as being in place and/or functioning. Review of the facility policy, Use of Restraints, revised April 2017, revealed prior to placing a resident in restraints there will be a pre-restraining assessment and review to determine the need. The assessment will be used to determine possible underlying causes of the problematic medical symptoms and if there are less restrictive interventions that may improve the symptoms. Physical restraints include devices that a resident cannot remove. When indicated the least restrictive alternative will be used for the least amount of time necessary, and the ongoing re-evaluation of the need will be documented. Review of the facility policy, Managing Falls and Fall Risk, revised March 2018, revealed position-change alarms will not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls, but rather to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the resident. The use of alarms will be monitored for efficacy, and staff will document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce falls or the risks of falling. If interventions were successful in preventing falling, staff would continue the interventions or reconsider whether the measures were still needed. 3. Review of the medical record for Resident #3 revealed an admission date of 08/28/03 with diagnoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebrovascular disease affecting the right dominant side, speech and language deficits following cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and vascular dementia. Review of a physician order dated 09/17/24 indicated Resident #3 had a Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. Additional medical record review for Resident #3 revealed there were no assessments completed upon application of the seat belt on 09/17/24 or thereafter for necessity, appropriateness or least restrictive. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed 03/19/25 revealed Resident #3 had moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #3 had impaired cognition with fluctuation including poor decision making, poor impulse control and a communication problem so staff had to anticipate needs. Resident #3 also had potential for falls related to limited mobility, impaired balance and coordination due to right-sided hemiplegia. Staff were to anticipate Resident #3's needs, be sure a call light was in reach and apply a Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. There was no plan of care to monitor the seat belt as necessary, appropriate or least restrictive. Observation on 05/18/25 at 9:50 A.M. revealed Resident #3 sitting in a wheelchair watching television with a seat belt secured with Velcro at the waist. The resident was unable to explain why a seat belt was in place, but when encouraged, pulled the seat belt apart with the left hand due to the right sided paralysis. Review of progress notes from September 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation to justify the use of or monitoring of the seat belt for Resident #3. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) from April 2025 to May 2025 revealed Resident #3's seat belt was in place each shift. Review of the nursing assistant Kardex (summary of resident information) effective 05/19/25 indicated to apply a Velcro seat belt in the wheelchair for safety. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:35 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #3 had a Velcro seat belt ordered without any assessments to ensure it was not a restraint, necessary, appropriate and least restrictive. The care plan only referenced the seat belt as a fall intervention without any plan for monitoring or assessing the device to determine when or if the resident was able to self-release the seat belt. During the interview, the DON wrote a physician order for the nurses to monitor Resident #3's seat belt once every quarter to ensure it was not a restraint by checking to see if the resident could self-release it on command. The DON confirmed restrictive devices such as seat belts were to be assessed when applied and at least quarterly to ensure it was not a restraint. Review of the physician order written by the DON on 05/19/25 specified Resident #3 was able to release the seat belt on command and if not, it was to be reported. This check was to be completed daily every three months on the first of the month for three days, and it was to begin on 06/01/25. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:37 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #364 confirmed Resident #3 wore a seat belt daily while up in the wheelchair and had for several months, and it was used to prevent the resident from getting up unassisted.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record reviews, observations, interviews and facility policy review, the facility failed to revise care plans for Residents #3 and #25 to include the use and monitoring of seat belts and alarms as restrictive devices and failed to complete comprehensive care plans within the required timeframe (within 21 days after admission) for Residents #60 and #70. This affected four (Residents #3, #25, #60 and #70) out of four residents reviewed for comprehensive care plan completion and revision. The facility census was 66. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #3 revealed an admission date of 08/28/03 with diagnoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebrovascular disease affecting the right dominant side, speech and language deficits following cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and vascular dementia. Review of a physician order dated 09/17/24 indicated Resident #3 had a Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed 03/19/25 revealed Resident #3 had moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #3 had impaired cognition with fluctuation including poor decision making, poor impulse control and a communication problem so staff had to anticipate needs. Resident #3 also had potential for falls related to limited mobility, impaired balance and coordination due to right-sided hemiplegia. Staff were to anticipate Resident #3's needs, be sure a call light was in reach and apply a Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. There was no plan of care to monitor the seat belt as necessary, appropriate or least restrictive. Observation on 05/18/25 at 9:50 A.M. revealed Resident #3 sitting in a wheelchair watching television with a seat belt secured with Velcro at the waist. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) from April 2025 to May 2025 revealed Resident #3's seat belt was in place each shift. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:35 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #3 had a Velcro seat belt ordered, and the care plan only referenced the seat belt as a fall intervention without any plan for monitoring or assessing the device as necessary, appropriate or least restrictive. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:37 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #364 verified Resident #3 wore a seat belt daily while up in the wheelchair and had it for several months, and it was used to prevent the resident from getting up unassisted. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 02/18/17 with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus type two, dementia, major depressive disorder recurrent, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Review of a physician order dated 09/17/24 indicated Resident #25 had an alarming Velcro seat belt to the wheelchair for positioning and safety. Another physician order dated 03/17/25 specified an additional pressure alarm was applied to the wheelchair for safety. Review of the Quarterly MDS assessment completed 01/11/25 revealed Resident #25 had moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan updated on 04/18/25 indicated Resident #25 had impaired cognition including poor memory and poor choices. Resident #25 also had potential for falls related to limited range of motion of the right lower extremity, poor balance and poor safety awareness. Staff were to be sure a call light was in reach and maintain a pressure alarm to the wheelchair to alert staff to unassisted rising. The alarming Velcro seat belt was not addressed in the plan of care, and there was no plan to monitor either the seat belt or pressure alarm as necessary, appropriate or least restrictive. Review of the TAR from April 2025 to May 2025 revealed Resident #25's seat belt and additional pressure alarm was in place each shift. Interview on 05/19/25 at 4:35 P.M. with the DON verified Resident #25 had an alarming Velcro seat belt and pressure alarm ordered, and the care plan did not address these devices as being in place or removed, nor any plan for monitoring or assessments. Observation on 05/20/25 at 1:37 P.M. with CNA #364 of Resident #25 verified there was no physician ordered seatbelt or pressure alarm in place for safety or positioning. Interview at the time of the observation with CNA #364 could not state when or why the devices were not in place. An interview on 05/20/25 at 1:52 P.M. with Resident #25 denied remembering when the alarm or seat belt was last used or whether being able to release the seat belt when it was in place. Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:54 P.M. with Registered Nursing (RN) #431 confirmed both the seat belt and pressure alarm devices were not in place as ordered and were signed off on the TAR as being checked and in place as safety interventions. RN #431 indicated the devices were removed some time ago but could not identify when but remembered it was because Resident #25 was no longer trying to get up without assistance. Review of the progress notes from September 2024 to May 2025 revealed no documentation to identify the removal of the alarming seat belt or pressure alarm for Resident #25. Observation on 05/21/25 at 12:13 P.M. of Resident #25 being transported to the dining room via wheelchair revealed no visible seat belt or alarming device in place. 3. Review of the medical record for Resident #60 revealed an admission date of 09/06/24 with diagnoses including hypertensive heart disease, chronic pain syndrome and asthma. Review of the admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed it was completed on 10/04/24. The care area assessment and care plan were completed on 10/04/24. This was outside of the required timeframe for completing comprehensive care plans. Interview on 05/19/25 at 10:26 A.M. with MDS Coordinator #333 verified Residents #60's care plan was completed late, outside of the required 21 days after admission timeframe. 4. Review of the medical record for Resident #70 revealed an admission date of 04/01/25 with diagnoses including intraspinal abscess and granuloma, diabetes mellitus type two and chronic pain syndrome. Review of the admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed it was completed on 04/29/25. The care area assessment and care plan were completed on 04/29/25. This was outside of the required timeframe for completing comprehensive care plans. Interview on 05/19/25 at 10:26 A.M. with MDS Coordinator #333 verified Residents #70's care plan was completed late, outside of the required 21 days after admission timeframe. Review of the facility policy, Using the Care Plan, revised August 2006, revealed the care plan was used in developing the resident's daily care routines and was available to staff who have responsibility for providing care or services to residents.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, record review, review of the memorandum QSO-24-08-NH and facility policy review, the facility failed to utilize enhance barrier precautions (EBP) when indicated for Residents #9 and #34. This affected two residents (#9 and #34) out of three residents reviewed for the donning of EBP. The facility reported 11 residents (#9, #10, #16, #18, #34, #36, #46, #48, #51, #53, and #54) who were identified on EBP. The facility census was 65. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #34 revealed an admission date of 04/01/25 with diagnoses including osteomyelitis (a bone infection, typically caused by bacteria) of vertebra, chronic ulcer of right foot, and diabetes. Review of the April 2025 physician orders revealed Resident #34 had an order to access and flush her Med Port (a device implanted under the skin to provide long-term access to a large vein near the heart for possible intravenous access) with normal saline 0.9 percent intravenously 10 milliliters (ml) prior to antibiotic, daptomycin (antibiotic) sodium chloride intravenous solution 500 milligram (mg) per 50 ml per Med Port every day and utilize EBP. Review of the care plan dated 04/03/25 revealed Resident #34 was on intravenous antibiotics due to osteomyelitis. Interventions included follow up with labs, monitor temperature, and treatment as ordered. There was nothing regarding EBP in the comprehensive care plan. Observation on 04/14/25 at 11:11 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #601 entered #34's room to administer her intravenous antibiotic. On the outside of the doorframe indicated Resident #34 was on EBP and a blue bag hung on the door that included gloves, gown, and masks. LPN #601 proceeded to perform hand hygiene, apply gloves and did not don a gown. LPN #601 leaned over Resident #35 causing her uniform to come in direct contact with Resident #34. She proceeded to flush her Med Port with normal saline, start the administration of her daptomycin (antibiotic) 500 mg intravenously, doffed her gloves and performed hand hygiene. Interview on 04/14/25 at 11:20 A.M. with LPN #601 verified Resident #34 was on EBP and she had only donned gloves and no gown. She verified she had come in direct contact with Resident #34 and should have worn a gown during the administration of her intravenous antibiotic. Interview on 04/14/25 at 2:40 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #34 was to be on EBP due to her Med Port and wound. She revealed that it had been an issue with staff remembering to utilize EBP despite the signage on the doorframe and bag with personal protective equipment (PPE) on the door. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #9 revealed an admission date of 01/07/22 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, legal blindness, chronic kidney disease, and urinary retention. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #9 had intact cognition and had an indwelling urinary catheter (a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine continuously). She was dependent on staff assistance for toileting hygiene, upper and lower dressing, transfers and she required substantial to maximum assistance with rolling left and right. Review of the care plan dated 01/13/25 revealed Resident #9 had an indwelling urinary catheter. Interventions included monitor intake and output, monitor and report any signs of urinary tract infection, and position catheter bag and tubing below level of the bladder. There was nothing in the comprehensive care plan regarding EBP. Review of the April 2025 physician orders revealed Resident #9 had an indwelling urinary catheter due to a neurogenic bladder (bladder dysfunction due to nerve damage) and staff was to utilize EBP during care due to urinary catheter. Observation on 04/16/25 at 8:08 A.M. revealed on the outside of Resident #9's door frame was signage that indicated Resident #9 was on EBP and a blue bag hung on the door that contained gloves, gowns and masks. Resident #9 requested to use the bed pan and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #606 performed hand hygiene and applied gloves but no gown. CNA #606 proceeded to assist Resident #9 in turning to her left side, pull her pants down and apply the bed pan as the front of her uniform came in direct contact with Resident #9 as she was dependent on staff for care. Resident #9 then proceeded to have a bowel movement and rang for assistance when she was finished. CNA #606 answered her call light, applied a new set of gloves and did not apply a gown. CNA #606 proceeded to provide catheter care as well as toileting hygiene. CNA #606 doffed the gloves and performed hand hygiene. Interview on 04/16/25 at 8:32 A.M. with CNA #606 verified Resident #9 had signage on the outside of her door that she was on EBP. She revealed she was unsure exactly what that meant as she did not wear a gown anytime she provided care for Resident #9, including toileting hygiene. She revealed she had received training on EBP precautions and could not remember but thought that the facility may have stated to wear a gown when a resident was on EBP. Interview on 04/16/25 at 9:30 A.M. with the DON verified Resident #9 was on EBP as she had an indwelling catheter. She again stated that the staff just did not seem to remember despite the signage and the bag on the door as she was going to re-educate at the next staff meeting. Review of the memorandum, QSO-24-08-NH, entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Nursing Homes, dated 03/20/24, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health & Human Services revealed enhanced barrier precautions are indicated for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO). The effective date for implementation of enhanced barrier precautions under the guidelines was 04/01/24. Review of the facility policy labeled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions dated 2024 revealed it was the facility policy to implement EBP for the prevention of transmission of MDRO. The policy revealed the facility would obtain an order for EBP for residents with the following: wounds, and/ or indwelling medical devices such as central lines, urinary catheter, feeding tubes, and tracheostomy even if the resident was not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO. The policy revealed gown, and gloves should be available and face protection if performing activity with risk of splashing or spraying. PPE was necessary during high contact care activities which included dressing, bathing, transferring, hygiene, assisting with toileting and device care (central line, and urinary catheter). This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00162603.

Based on interviews, review of the call light detail report, call light policy, nursing staff schedules, payroll based journal (PBJ), nursing staff punch detail, the staffing tool and the facility assessment, the facility failed to respond to call lights in a timely manner for Resident #8, #32, #50 and #221, and failed to meet the minimum staffing requirement for all quarters of fiscal year 2023. This affected four residents (#8, #32, #50, and #221) of five residents reviewed for sufficient staffing and call light response times, and had the potential to affect all residents living in the facility. The facility census was 67. Findings include: 1. Interview on 12/11/23 at 11:09 A.M with Resident #14 stated sometimes there were not enough staff and call light response times were 20 minutes. Interview on 12/11/23 at 11:12 A.M. with Resident #221 stated call light response times were anywhere between 30 minutes to one hour and half. Interview on 12/11/23 at 2:17 P.M. with Resident #50 revealed she felt they were not enough staff because the call light response times were sometimes 30 minutes to 45 minutes long. Resident #50 stated one time while waiting she had urinated on herself. Interview on 12/11/23 at 4:17 P.M. with Resident #32 stated there were long wait times before call lights were answered, sometimes over an hour. Review of the call light detail report dated 12/01/23 through 12//07/23 revealed Resident #50's call light response time was 48 minutes and 22 seconds on Tuesday 12/05/23 at 4:20 A.M.

An interview was conducted on 12/18/23 at 11:49 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) who stated anyone can answer call lights but pretty much the nurses and aides answered the call lights. The DON stated the expectation of call light response time was between 10 to 15 minutes. The DON verified the long call light response times on the call light detail report for Resident #32, #50, and #221. The DON stated Resident #221 had never complained to her about long call light response times and so she needed to look into what was going on the early morning of 12/05/23. Follow up interview on 12/18/23 at 12:52 P.M. with the DON revealed on the early morning of 12/05/23 the facility had one aide who came in late and another aide left early without communicating with staff. The DON stated her and three other staff members of the management team all hit the floor helping with patient care, and she assumed that was why the call light response times were long that morning. 2. Review of the payroll based journal (PBJ) Staffing Data CASPER Report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) revealed for Quarter three 2023 (April 1 to June 30) the facility triggered for excessively low weekend staffing. Review of the third quarter (04/01/23 through 06/30/23) fiscal year 2023 PBJ, nursing schedules, nursing punch detail and staffing tool revealed staffing levels did not meet the minimum staffing requirement of 2.50 hours per resident per day (ppd) of direct care for the following Saturdays and Sundays dated 04/16/23 at 2.34 ppd, 05/06/23 at 2.41 ppd, 05/07/23 2.45 ppd, and 06/25/23 2.46 ppd. Interview on 12/18/23 11:49 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the amount of direct care staff in the facility on those days did not meet the minimum staffing requirement of 2.50 for those days and stated she assumed it was related to call offs. Review of the call light detail report for 04/15/23, 04/16/23, 05/06/23, 05/07/23, 06/24/23, and 06/25/23 revealed Resident #50's call light response time was 39 minutes and 13 seconds on 04/16/23 at 6:29 PM and 33 minutes on 05/07/23 at 4:57 P.M. Resident #32's call light response time was 49 minutes and 54 seconds on 06/24/23 at 1:32 A.M. Resident #14's call light response time was 38 minutes and 53 seconds on 06/25/23 at 1:05 A.M. Interview on 12/18/23 at 3:33 P.M. with the DON and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) revealed initially when the call light was activated it would transmit to the aides' pager, then after seven minutes it would go to the nurse, and after so long an email was sent to the Administrator. The DON verified the long call light response times for Resident #14, #32 and #50 and stated she would have to look into it. The DON stated her expectation during change of shift was for staff to answer the call lights. Follow-up interview on 12/18/23 at 4:09 P.M. with the DON and ADON revealed regarding the call light response time on 04/16/23 for Resident #50 may have been related to a Covid-19 outbreak and staff taking longer to attend to call lights because of donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE). The DON stated on 05/07/23 at 4:57 P.M. was a mealtime. The DON stated on 06/24/23 and 06/25/23 they had four residents who were ill and required more assistance from staff so that could be why call light response times were long. The DON stated they try to adjust staffing to meet the resident acuity needs but call offs occured which affected how many staff were available to provide direct care. Review of the facility policy titled Answering the Call Light, revised March 2021, revealed the purpose of this procedure was to ensure timely responses to the resident's requests and needs. Review of the Facility Assessment, updated 05/30/23, revealed 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. were the peak hours to consider in regards to staffing and resource needs, and Covid-19 residents have additional staffing needs. The Facility Assessment indicated the facility would be staffed everyday to meet the acuity needs of the residents for an average census of 55 to 65 residents. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00149023.

"Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
