Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Portsmouth Health And Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Water management and legionella prevention plan not implemented. The facility did not follow its water monitoring plan for hot water temperatures, chlorine testing locations, or weekly flushing of showers and tubs. Legionella testing later found multiple positive water samples from resident room sinks, shower rooms, and the hot water recirculation area, and the ADM and MM confirmed the temperature and flushing issues.
The facility failed to timely implement orders for nephrostomy tube site care for a resident with bladder cancer, hematuria, AKI, and hydronephrosis. Hospital discharge instructions included specific cleansing, dressing, and tube-securing steps, but the physician’s orders for care of the skin around the nephrostomy exit sites were not put into place until later, as confirmed by the DON.
Vaccination Offer and Documentation Failures: The facility failed to ensure that two residents were offered and kept current on required immunizations. One resident with cerebral infarction, acute kidney failure, and mood disorder was not up to date on pneumococcal vaccination because it had not been offered, and another resident with HTN, HLD, and DM was not up to date on influenza vaccination because it had not been offered; the immunization record also showed no recent flu vaccine documentation. The DON confirmed both residents were not current, and facility policy required documentation of vaccine offers, refusals, and administration.
The facility failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse involving a resident and an LPN to the state survey agency. Despite staff observations and an internal investigation, the incident was not reported as required by the facility's policy.
Water Management and Legionella Prevention Plan Not Implemented
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure an effective water management and legionella prevention plan was implemented. Review of the Water Management Plan dated 04/18/25 showed required monitoring and control measures for the water system, including weekly flushing of eyewash stations, faucets, showers not in frequent use, ice machine cleaning, hot water heater temperature checks, temperature checks of running taps, and free chlorine testing at the incoming city water supply and the most distal location in the facility. However, record review from 11/08/25 through 05/30/26 showed the hot water heater temperatures were below 140 degrees F on multiple weekly dates, and free chlorine testing was being completed at the hot water tank instead of at the incoming city water supply and most distal location as required by the plan. Weekly flushing documentation from 11/08/25 through 05/30/26 also showed no evidence that the showers on the East unit were flushed, and there was no evidence that all bathroom showers and tubs were flushed. Laboratory testing showed water from room [ROOM NUMBER] was positive for Legionella on 04/29/26, and later testing on 05/28/26 showed 12 of 15 water samples were positive, including samples from the hot water recirculation area, multiple resident room sinks, and the second- and third-floor shower rooms. The Administrator stated the facility initiated Legionella testing after one year of the water management plan, and the Maintenance Manager confirmed the hot water temperature at the output source was fluctuating between 130 and 132 degrees F, some East unit showers were not in use and had not been flushed in a long time, and chlorine testing was only being done at one location in the facility.
Delayed Nephrostomy Tube Site Care Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure care for nephrostomy tubes was provided in a timely manner for Resident #77, who was admitted with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of the bladder, hematuria, acute kidney failure, and hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The resident’s admission MDS dated 05/19/25 indicated intact cognition and an indwelling catheter device. Hospital discharge instructions included detailed care for the nephrostomy tube exit sites, including cleansing the surrounding skin, drying the area, applying split gauze pads, taping the dressing, and securing the tube to the skin. However, review of the physician’s orders showed that no order was implemented for care of the skin surrounding the nephrostomy tube exit sites until 05/20/25. The DON confirmed in interview on 07/30/25 at 8:45 A.M. that orders for this care had not been implemented until 05/20/25.
Vaccination Offer and Documentation Failures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure resident influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations were offered and administered in a timely and appropriate manner. This deficiency affected 2 of 5 residents reviewed for immunizations in a facility with a census of 77. Resident #14 was admitted with diagnoses including cerebral infarction, acute kidney failure, and mood disorder. The annual MDS assessment dated 06/02/25 indicated the resident was not up to date on the pneumococcal vaccination because it had not been offered, and the immunization record showed no documentation that a pneumococcal vaccine had ever been administered. Resident #15 was admitted with diagnoses including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. The annual MDS assessment dated 05/09/25 indicated the resident was not up to date on the influenza vaccination because it had not been offered, and the immunization record showed no influenza vaccine documented since 09/27/23. The DON confirmed on 07/31/25 that Resident #14 was not up to date on the pneumococcal vaccine and Resident #15 was not up to date on the influenza vaccine. Facility policy required refusals to be documented, required influenza vaccine offers between October 1 and March 31 unless contraindicated or already immunized, and required pneumococcal vaccination assessment prior to or upon admission with documentation of any vaccine given.
Failure to Report Allegation of Sexual Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse involving Resident #36 to the state survey agency. Resident #36, who had intact cognition and multiple medical diagnoses including type two diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure, was reported by staff to have an inappropriate relationship with LPN #10. Staff witnessed LPN #10 hugging and kissing Resident #36, and other staff members reported seeing them together in situations that raised concerns. Despite these observations, the facility did not report the allegation to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) as required by their policy on abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The facility conducted an internal investigation, placing LPN #10 on administrative leave and interviewing both the resident and the LPN, who both denied any inappropriate relationship. Other staff members were also interviewed, but the facility was unable to substantiate the abuse allegations. The Administrator confirmed that the Regional Director of Operations was informed of the allegations, but the incident was not reported to the state agency. The facility's policy defines sexual abuse as nonconsensual sexual contact of any type with a resident and mandates reporting all alleged violations to government agencies within specified timeframes.
