Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Canton Christian Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with intact cognition, max assist transfer needs, and dependence for toileting was not treated with dignity during care. Room video showed a CNA acting in an intimidating and aggressive manner, handling the resident roughly while applying a sit-to-stand lift and moving her to the bathroom. The resident told her son she was afraid, and the police report stated the employee was physically rough and caused fear for the resident’s safety.
Failure to complete a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for a resident with sepsis, morbid obesity, stage IV CKD, and liver cell carcinoma. The resident had intact cognition but required moderate assistance to total dependence for ADLs. The DON was unable to provide evidence of the required baseline care plan, despite facility policy requiring the IDT to develop one within 48 hours of admission.
Failure to provide and document bathing as requested for a resident with Parkinson’s disease, obesity, dementia, and anxiety. The resident required moderate assistance with bathing and shower transfer, preferred a tub bath twice weekly on day shift, and was scheduled for bathing on two days each week. Review of the record showed only a few baths and several refusals across multiple opportunities, while the DON confirmed bathing was not completed as requested and that documentation was expected in the progress note and MAR.
Right heel wound treatment not completed as ordered. A resident with chronic pain, protein calorie malnutrition, anxiety, and cognitive impairment had an unstageable pressure ulcer to the right heel. The care plan called for ordered wound treatments, but an RN observed the dressing was dated several days earlier and verified the daily treatment was not completed on multiple shifts.
A resident with dementia, wandering behavior, and a wander management bracelet was found outside the facility unsupervised after staff responded to an exit alarm by silencing it and continuing other duties. Staff observed the resident stating he was going home, repeatedly trying to leave, and moving toward exits, while video showed the resident exiting when a visitor opened the sliding door. The DON verified the alarm was turned off and the resident was outside for about six minutes before being brought back in.
An LPN was observed handling a resident's scheduled medications with bare hands before placing them in a med cup, and an RN was observed performing wound care for a resident with EBP in place while wearing gloves but no gown. The resident receiving wound care had a chronic heel pressure ulcer and a door sign indicating EBP, and the facility policy required gown and glove use for wound care and other high-contact care activities.
A resident with a history of vascular dementia and left hemiplegia fell and sustained tibial fractures due to the facility's failure to implement a comprehensive fall prevention program. The resident, who required a mechanical lift for transfers, was found on the floor after staff did not respond promptly to her calls for help. The care plan interventions were not effectively monitored, contributing to the incident.
The facility failed to ensure proper transfer procedures using a mechanical lift, resulting in a resident sustaining a spiral femur fracture. Additionally, another resident was transferred using an unsafe method, posing a risk of injury.
Failure to Provide Dignified Care During Assistance With Toileting
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure Resident #43 was treated with dignity while care was being provided. Resident #43 was admitted on 07/16/25 with diagnoses including hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia, adult failure to thrive, hypertensive chronic kidney disease, and a history of urinary tract infections. The 10/01/25 MDS showed intact cognition, maximum assistance needed for transfers, and dependence for toileting. The care plan and physician order directed use of a sit-to-stand lift with one assist for transfers and toileting at night. The record included multiple incidents involving the resident’s care and interactions with staff. On 10/11/25, a CNA repositioned the resident in a wheelchair after moving the call light, and the resident sustained a skin tear to the right elbow at wheelchair level. On 10/13/25, the resident reported to her son that a staff member entered her room, did not do what she wanted, and pinched the skin of her left forearm; the son reviewed room video and reported no indication of pinching or harm, and skin assessment noted no new bruising or redness. The CNP note from 10/13/25 also documented urinary frequency, refusal of overactive bladder medication, a prior unwitnessed fall, and a new skin tear to the left upper extremity. On 10/20/25, the resident called her son during the night and said she was afraid after an aide was rough with her while assisting her to the bathroom. Room camera video showed CNA #220 entering the room, leaning over the resident, shaking her hands in an intimidating and aggressive manner, applying the sit-to-stand vest quickly, pulling the resident toward her without allowing her to sit up on her own, jerking her forward with the sling straps, and rapidly turning and pushing the lift toward the bathroom. The police report stated the employee was seen on camera being physically rough with the elderly victim causing fear for her safety. The DON later stated the CNA did not treat the resident with respect during care and was terminated after the incident.
Failure to Complete Baseline Care Plan Within 48 Hours
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a baseline care plan was completed for Resident #52 within 48 hours of admission. Resident #52 was admitted on 10/01/25 and discharged on 10/17/25, with diagnoses including sepsis, morbid obesity, stage IV chronic kidney disease, and liver cell carcinoma. The 10/07/25 MDS 3.0 assessment showed intact cognition and that the resident required moderate assistance to being fully dependent on staff for ADLs. During interview on 12/10/25 at 3:00 P.M., the DON confirmed she was unable to provide evidence of a baseline care plan for Resident #52. Review of the facility policy titled Resident Directed Care Planning Policy and Procedure stated that the interdisciplinary team shall develop a baseline care plan for each resident within 48 hours of admission.
Failure to Provide and Document Bathing as Scheduled
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure bathing was provided and documented as requested and required for one resident who had Parkinson's disease, obesity, dementia, generalized anxiety disorder, intact cognition on the quarterly MDS, and required moderate staff assistance with bathing and shower transfer. The resident’s bathing assessment indicated a preference for a tub bath twice a week on day shift, and the care plan listed staff assistance with bathing or showering weekly and as needed. The facility shower schedule also showed bathing was scheduled on Sundays and Thursdays on day shift. Review of the bathing documentation from September through December 2025 showed only five baths and four refusals out of 28 bathing opportunities. The record included refusals on several dates, baths provided on a few dates, and multiple instances where the shower task was marked not applicable. The DON stated the facility does not use shower sheets, that nurses are supposed to document bathing in a progress note and on the MAR, and confirmed the resident’s bathing preference was two days a week on day shift but was not completed as requested. A shower aide stated the resident usually does not refuse bathing and confirmed the bathing schedule had recently changed because some floor aides believed the shower aide was completing all showers and were not doing their assigned showers.
Right heel wound treatment not completed as ordered
Penalty
Summary
Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing was not met when the facility failed to ensure treatment to Resident #8’s right heel was completed as ordered. Resident #8 was admitted with diagnoses including chronic pain, protein calorie malnutrition, and anxiety, and the care plan dated 08/29/25 identified a pressure ulcer to the right heel with interventions to administer treatments as ordered and monitor for effectiveness. The quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment showed a BIMS score of 8 out of 15, indicating cognitive impairment, and documented an unstageable pressure ulcer that was not present on admission. A physician order dated 11/26/25 directed the right heel wound to be cleansed with Vashe, patted dry, Skin Prep applied to the peri-wound, Medihoney applied to the wound bed, and a Vashe-moistened gauze, ABD pad, and rolled gauze applied daily and as needed if soiled or dislodged. During an observation on 12/09/25, RN #283 observed the dressing on the right heel was dated 12/05/25 and verified the dressing was to be completed daily on the 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. shift. RN #283 also verified the dated dressing showed the treatment was not completed on 12/06/25, 12/07/25, and 12/08/25.
Resident Left Unsupervised Outside After Alarm Was Silenced
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure Resident #61 was not outside the facility without adequate supervision. Resident #61 was admitted with diagnoses including chronic atrial fibrillation, dementia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, insomnia, restlessness and agitation, and chronic pain. The care plan identified the resident as being at risk for injury related to dementia, with wandering, impaired safety awareness, and a short attention span. Interventions included use of a wander management system, redirection when focused on leaving, and immediate notification of the charge nurse or supervisor if the resident attempted to leave unassisted or unsupervised. Resident #61 had a wander management bracelet in place and was identified as a candidate for the wander management system due to unintentional exiting risk. The resident’s MDS showed a BIMS score of 7 out of 15 and wandering behavior during the assessment period. On the evening of the incident, staff observed the resident on the patio at the east entrance stating he was going home, and one-on-one supervision was started. The incident review stated the resident was found sitting unsupervised outside the entrance in his wheelchair. Staff statements described the resident as agitated, refusing food and fluids, and repeatedly attempting to leave or move toward exits. The investigation showed that an alarm at the east entrance was responded to by an LPN who silenced it and continued with shift duties, and a resident assistant also shut off an alarm when able. Video footage showed the resident leaving the assisted living dining room in his wheelchair and continuing out the sliding exit door when a visitor entered and the door opened. The DON verified the wander management alarm was turned off by staff and that the resident went through a route that did not activate the alarms near the fire doors. The resident was outside the building for about six minutes before being brought back in.
Infection Control Lapses During Medication Pass and Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure staff followed standard infection control precautions during medication administration for one resident. Resident #16 had diagnoses including dementia, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus, and had multiple physician orders for scheduled medications. During observation of medication administration, an LPN was seen popping medications out of the medication cards into her bare hand and then placing them into the medication cup for Resident #16. When questioned, the LPN stated she had not realized she had touched the pills and was afraid of dropping them on the floor, and she verified that she should not have handled the resident's medications with her bare hands and that this was an infection control concern. The facility also failed to maintain proper infection control practices during wound care for one resident. Resident #8 had a history that included chronic pain, protein calorie malnutrition, and anxiety, and had a chronic right heel pressure ulcer with enhanced barrier precautions ordered related to the wound. During observation of the dressing change, the RN wore gloves but did not wear a gown, despite a laminated sign on the resident's door indicating EBP was in place. The RN verified that a gown was available in the treatment cart but that she forgot to put it on. The facility policy stated that EBP for wounds includes gown and glove use for wound care and other high-contact resident care activities.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Program Leads to Resident Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive and individualized fall prevention program for a resident, resulting in a fall with major injury. The resident, who required a mechanical lift for transfers and was at high risk for falls, was hospitalized after sustaining right and left tibial fractures following an unwitnessed fall. Prior to the fall, a nursing assistant observed the resident yelling for help with her legs hanging out of bed but did not respond immediately, which contributed to the incident. The resident had a complex medical history, including vascular dementia, left hemiplegia, and diabetes, and was assessed as having moderately impaired cognition. The care plan included interventions such as ensuring the call light was within reach and educating the resident on the unsafe behavior of adjusting her bed height. However, these interventions were not effectively implemented or monitored, as evidenced by the resident's ability to adjust the bed height, which was a factor in the fall. The facility's investigation revealed that staff did not promptly respond to the resident's calls for help, and the resident was found on the floor with the bed in a high position. The facility's policy on fall prevention was not adequately followed, as staff failed to assist the resident when she appeared unsteady and did not modify the care plan in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team. This lack of timely intervention and supervision led to the resident's fall and subsequent injuries.
Improper Use of Mechanical Lift Results in Resident Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents were properly transferred by mechanical lift, resulting in actual harm to Resident #22. On 05/05/24, two State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNAs) were transferring Resident #22, who had severely impaired cognition and was dependent on staff for transfers, using a mechanical lift. The STNAs failed to operate the lift properly, causing it to tip over. Despite the STNAs' efforts to catch and lower the resident to the floor, Resident #22 sustained a spiral femur fracture, which required surgery and hospitalization. The resident exhibited severe pain and distress following the incident and was eventually transferred to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Resident #22 had a history of Alzheimer's Disease, anxiety disorder, and polyosteoarthritis, among other conditions. The care plan for Resident #22 specified the use of a hoyer lift with two staff members for transfers. However, during the incident, the STNAs did not follow proper procedures, leading to the lift tipping over. Conflicting statements from the STNAs and subsequent interviews revealed that one STNA was in too much of a hurry, and there was a lack of clarity on who was operating the lift. The facility's investigation confirmed that the hoyer lift was in proper working condition, and the legs of the lift could not open without pressing the button on the remote. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure proper transfer procedures for Resident #44. During an observation on 05/23/24, two STNAs were seen transferring Resident #44 using a hoyer lift. One STNA tilted the resident's wheelchair backward onto its back wheels to position the resident in the chair, a practice taught by an agency aide. This method posed a risk of the wheelchair slipping and falling, which the STNA had not considered. The facility's policies required staff to demonstrate competency in using mechanical lifts, but the observed practice indicated a lack of adherence to safe transfer procedures.
