Overview

Wapakoneta Manor has a Trust Grade of B, indicating that it is a good option for families seeking care, as it falls within the solid range of quality. It ranks #370 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #5 out of 8 in Auglaize County, suggesting that there are only a few local choices that are better. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend in care, with issues increasing from 1 in 2023 to 6 in 2024. Staffing is a strength here, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 47%, slightly below the state average, indicating that staff are likely to stay and build relationships with residents. There have been no fines reported, which is a positive sign of compliance, and the facility offers more RN coverage than 91% of others in Ohio, ensuring that critical health issues are monitored closely. Despite these strengths, there are significant concerns. A serious incident involved a resident developing a stage four pressure ulcer due to inadequate preventive measures, affecting their health. Additionally, there have been multiple concerns regarding the proper dating of opened food items in storage, which could lead to food safety issues for residents. Overall, while Wapakoneta Manor has notable strengths, families should carefully consider these recent issues when making their decision.

Resident #11 required required moderate assistance for transfers, maximum assistance for bed mobility, was dependent for toileting hygiene, and required supervision for eating. Resident #11 was assessed at risk for pressure ulcers, but none were observed at the time of the assessment. Review of a progress note by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #108 dated 05/23/24 documented a wound on Resident #11's right great toe. A treatment for antibiotic ointment was initiated and the Director of Nursing was contacted. There were no measurements or further description of the wound documented until it was seen by Wound Physician (WP) #99 on 06/04/24. Record review of Resident #11's May 2024 treatment administration record (TAR) revealed the treatment for triple antibiotic to the right great toe twice daily was completed as ordered. Review of the physician orders revealed an order for bilateral heel boots or float heels on pillows while in bed with a start date of 06/04/24. Review of WP #99's progress note dated 06/04/24 revealed Resident #11's wound was documented a stage three pressure ulcer (full-thickness skin loss) to the right great toe measuring 0.5 centimeters (cm) long by 0.7 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep. Observation on 06/10/24 at 11:04 A.M. of Resident #11 revealed he did not have heel boots on while lying on his low air loss mattress in bed. Observation on 06/10/24 at 12:33 P.M. revealed Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) #106 was overheard asking LPN #101 if Resident #11 was supposed to have his heel boots on. LPN #101 answered that if the resident was in bed, he needed them on. OTA #106 stated she would apply them. Observation on 06/10/24 at 12:37 P.M. revealed OTA #106 applied the heel protectors on Resident #11. Interview at the time of observation with OTA #106 revealed the resident's family asked about the heel boots and she verified with his nurse the resident should have them on while in bed. OTA #106 confirmed the resident's heels had not been floated and the heel protectors were not on while the resident was in bed. OTA #106 acknowledged Resident #11 had therapy earlier in the day from around 10:00 A.M. to around 11:00 A.M., and staff had gotten him out of bed, so she was unable to answer if the boots had been present prior to therapy. Interview on 06/10/24 at 5:12 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged she was aware of the 05/23/24 progress note regarding the wound to Resident #11's right great toe, but denied she had been informed of the wound by LPN #108.

A second interview with the DON on 06/11/24 at 11:34 A.M. verified there was no measurement in the risk assessment because the wound was identified as a crack. Review of the facility policy titled, Pressure Ulcer Policy, dated 04/29/16, revealed should a pressure area develop the wound would be monitored are least weekly and contain the location and staging, size, drainage, and characteristics, pain if present, and wound bed and surrounding tissue description.

Review of a care plan initiated 06/05/23 revealed Resident #07 had the potential for skin breakdown, slow wound healing and pressure ulcer/injury development related to impaired mobility, diabetes, myositis and incontinence of bowel and bladder. No pressure relieving interventions were added until 01/04/24. Review of facility wound assessments revealed an unstageable pressure ulcer measuring 2 centimeters (cm) by (x) 3 cm was discovered to Resident #07's left heel on 01/04/24. Further review of Resident #07's medical record revealed no interventions implemented to relieve pressure to heels or feet prior to 01/04/24. There was no documentation of any refusals of pressure relieving interventions for heels or feet by Resident #07. The only intervention was skin prep (liquid film-forming skin protectant) ordered on 12/20/23 and discontinued on 01/04/24. Review of wound physician progress notes dated 01/09/24 revealed Resident #07 had a stage four pressure ulcer on the left heel measuring 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.3 cm. The wound bed was covered with 100% slough (dead tissue, usually cream or yellow in color) which was debrided (removed). Review of wound physician progress notes dated 05/14/24 revealed Resident #07 continues to have the stage four pressure ulcer to the left heel. The ulcer now measures 1 cm x 0.6 cm x 0.3 cm with 20% slough and 80% granulation tissue (new tissue developed over a wound bed). Observation of Resident #07's pressure ulcer treatment on 05/14/24 at 3:58 P.M. revealed a pressure ulcer to the posterior heel. The wound was measured by Physician #407 to be 1 cm x 0.6 cm x 0.3 cm.

Interview with LPN #331 on 05/14/24 at 4:41 P.M. confirmed she did not cleanse Resident #51's pressure ulcers after removing old dressings and completing new treatments. Review of the facility's policy titled, Pressure Ulcer Policy, dated approved 04/29/16 revealed a resident who enters the facility without a pressure ulcer will not develop a pressure ulcer unless the individual's clinical condition demonstrates they are unavoidable. All residents will be assessed for pressure ulcer risk on admission, monitored weekly and reviewed quarterly and as needed. Appropriate preventative interventions will be implemented. (i.e. wheelchair cushion, offloading heels, etc.) All residents will be placed on a pressure reducing mattress. The facility will use a Pressure Risk Assessment to assess each resident's degree of risk for developing a pressure ulcer. A resident with a pressure ulcer will receive interventions and monitoring to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new ulcers from developing. All residents will be placed on a pressure reducing mattress upon entering the facility, and no photographs of pressure ulcers will be obtained by the facility. A stage IV pressure ulcer was defined as full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon, joint capsule). Undermining and sinus tracts also may be associated with Stage IV pressure ulcers. An unstageable pressure ulcer was defined as full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black). This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00153353.

Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 03/15/23 at 2:27 P.M., revealed the facility policy didn't specify whether or not to move a resident prior to having been assessed after a fall but the DON indicated it would be the expectation for staff to not move a resident after a fall prior to them having been assessed. Review of the American Journal of Nursing web page titled When a Fall Occurs, located at https://journals.lww.com/ajnonline/Citation/2007/11000/When_a_Fall_Occurs__Four_steps_to_take_in_response.30.aspx#:~:text=Before%20moving%20the%20patient%2C%20ask,Check%20the%20cranial%20nerve, revealed staff should not assume there has been no injury. Before moving the resident, ask the resident what caused the fall and assess any associated symptoms. Then, staff should conduct a comprehensive assessment. Review of the facility policy titled accidents and incidents policy, last revised 04/2016, revealed a licensed professional nurse shall examine all victims for any physical injuries.

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 Wapakoneta Manor Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, WAPAKONETA MANOR 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.

Do Nurses at Wapakoneta Manor Stick Around?

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Wapakoneta Manor on Any Federal Watch List?

WAPAKONETA MANOR 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.
