DTR #597 stated she was aware Resident #16 vomited and stated she and the NP determined the cause was likely due to infections and did not believe the vomiting was due to the TF formula. Further interview confirmed the staff decreased the TF rate in response to Resident #16's emesis. Additionally, DTR #597 stated she had not considered providing a more concentrated TF formula (to provide more nutrition in less volume) nor had she discussed the possibility of providing a medication to encourage digestion. Follow-up interview on 03/19/25 at 2:21 P.M. with DTR #597 confirmed Resident #16's TF rate was decreased in January because she was not tolerating it. Additionally, DTR #597 stated she spoke with the NP after the previous interview and learned there was a contraindication with providing a medication to Resident #16 to improve digestion. Interview on 03/19/25 at 2:25 P.M. with DTR #597 and NP #700 revealed they were aware of Resident #16's weight loss and emesis and continued to monitor Resident #16's tolerance to the TF.

Continued interview with DTR #597 and NP #700 confirmed the facility did not attempt a more concentrated formula to provide more nutrition in less volume, and did not try a different way to administer the TF, such as bolus feedings (feeding a specific TF amount at one time, and letting the stomach digest it) rather than continuous TF. Further, DTR #597 confirmed Resident #16 was not receiving additional calories or protein from any supplements. Follow-up interview on 03/20/25 at approximately 10:00 A.M. with DTR #597 confirmed the TF rate was 50 ml per hour and there was no plan to increase the rate, to meet Resident #16's estimated nutrition needs, while they monitored Resident #16's tolerance to the lower rate. Telephone interview on 03/20/25 at 1:06 P.M. with Resident #16's family member revealed the family member had concerns regarding Resident #16's intolerance of the TF. Resident #16's family member stated Resident #16 could not tolerate the TF at the higher rate at the hospital or at the facility. Review of the policy Weight Monitoring, reviewed 01/06/25, revealed the purpose was to monitor weight changes and ensure adequate provision of nutrition for all residents. Additionally, the Dietitian/Dietetic Technician will evaluate weights and will initiate appropriate interventions as indicated.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of policy, the facility failed to ensure a pharmacist accurately reviewed a resident's medication regimen. This affected one (#43) of five reviewed for unnecessary medications. The census was 102. Findings include: Review of Resident #43's medical record revealed an original admission date of 11/20/19 and a most recent admission date of 08/30/20. Diagnoses included respiratory failure, toxic encephalopathy, major depression, anemia, fibromyalgia, anxiety disorder, and unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbances. Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #43 had short and long-term memory problems. Review of a physician's order dated 08/30/20 revealed Resident #43 was ordered the antidepressant Trazodone 50 milligrams (mg) and to give one and one-half tablets to equal 75 mg daily. Review of a medication regimen review (MRR) dated 10/23/20 revealed the pharmacist reviewed Resident #43's Trazodone as 150 mg every night with a recommendation to attempt a dose reduction as clinically indicated. A Nurse Practitioner #100 response was given on 10/27/20 and agreed to a dose reduction and decreased Resident #43's Trazodone to 100 mg every night. Review of Resident #43's physician orders for Trazodone revealed she was never ordered or was administered doses of 150 mg or 100 mg as indicated on the October 2020 (MRR). Review of Resident #43's physician orders revealed she was ordered and received doses of Trazodone 50 mg or 75 mg every night through 05/17/21 as ordered. Interview on 05/13/21 at 2:21 P.M., with Director of Nursing (DON) #1 verified Resident #43 was never ordered Trazodone 100 mg or 150 mg and the pharmacist inaccurately reviewed Resident #43's medication regimen. DON #1 verified the inaccurate review of the Trazodone 150 mg on 10/23/20 caused the nurse practitioner to incorrectly recommend a dose reduction of 100 mg on 10/27/20. Review of an undated written statement from the facility Pharmacist #200 revealed on 10/23/20, Resident #43 was receiving Trazodone 75 mg every night and she incorrectly reviewed the medication as 150 mg on the 10/23/20 MRR.

About This Facility

What is Orchard Villa's CMS Rating?

CMS assigns ORCHARD VILLA an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars, which is considered above average nationally. Within Ohio, this rating places the facility higher than 99% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This rating reflects solid performance across the metrics CMS uses to evaluate nursing home quality.

How is Orchard Villa Staffed?

CMS rates ORCHARD VILLA's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 47%, compared to the Ohio average of 46%.

What Have Inspectors Found at Orchard Villa?

State health inspectors documented 37 deficiencies at ORCHARD VILLA during 2021 to 2025. These included: 1 that caused actual resident harm, 35 with potential for harm, and 1 minor or isolated issues. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.

Who Owns and Operates Orchard Villa?

ORCHARD VILLA is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by LEGACY HEALTH SERVICES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 136 certified beds and approximately 121 residents (about 89% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in OREGON, Ohio.

How Does Orchard Villa Compare to Other Ohio Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Ohio, ORCHARD VILLA's overall rating (4 stars) is above the state average of 3.2, staff turnover (47%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Orchard Villa?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Orchard Villa Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, ORCHARD VILLA 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. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Orchard Villa Stick Around?

ORCHARD VILLA has a staff turnover rate of 47%, which is about average for Ohio nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.

Was Orchard Villa Ever Fined?

ORCHARD VILLA has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Orchard Villa on Any Federal Watch List?

ORCHARD VILLA 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. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
