Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ohio Valley Health Care during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Infection control deficiencies were observed across the facility, including missing EBP room indicators for several resident rooms, lift pads left out on wheelchairs and lifts in the halls with some visibly soiled, a laundry room air vent that was off during the wash/dry process, and an incomplete water maintenance program with missing logs, diagrams, and testing records.
The facility failed to fully develop person-centered care plans for three residents. One resident receiving antipsychotic and antidepressant medications had care plans that did not include the measurable side effects staff needed to monitor, another resident with aphasia had no care plan intervention for a communication board despite staff confirming its use, and a third resident’s documented preference to keep the room door closed was not followed during observation.
Missing Nurse Aide Competency Reviews: The facility failed to have competency reviews for five reviewed NAs, and the NHA confirmed the records were not available when requested by surveyors. The deficiency involved the facility’s ability to ensure staff had the appropriate competencies and skill sets to provide nursing and related services for residents.
Facility assessment failed to identify the direct care staffing levels needed based on resident acuity for routine operations, nights, weekends, and emergencies. Review of the assessment showed no staffing breakdown tied to resident acuity, and the NHA confirmed the omission during interview.
The facility failed to provide the required nurse aide training for two of five employees reviewed. One NA had only 10 hours of training and another had only 6 hours, and the NHA confirmed neither had the full 12 hours required. The deficiency involved nurse aide skills training, including dementia care and abuse prevention education.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Loss: A resident was observed struggling to feed herself with shaky hands and dropping food. Record review showed an 11.52% weight loss over about one month, with BMI values in the 16 to 18 range, but the chart did not document physician notification of the significant weight loss, and the DON confirmed the MD had not been notified.
A resident fell after slipping on water and sustained a C2 cervical spine fracture, requiring hospital evaluation and a C-collar for support. Although the IDT updated the care plan and orders to reflect the injury and increased needs, no SCSA MDS was completed within the required timeframe after the major change in status.
A resident's care plan was not revised to address a toothache that had been present for an extended period. During record review and resident interview, the issue was identified as ongoing, and the DON confirmed that it had not been included in the care plan.
An unlocked, unattended treatment cart was observed in an area accessible to residents, visitors, and unauthorized persons, and an LPN confirmed it was left unsecured because she did not have a key. Three oxygen tanks were also stored behind the nurses station in rolling carts without regulators and not in proper metal cages after staff said the medication room could not be used because the required sign was not approved.
Severe weight loss was not addressed for a resident who left her noon meal untouched and stated she did not want to eat. Her weights showed a 10.36% loss over a short period, the resident was not weighed as ordered, the DON said meal percentages were not tracked, and the dietician did not review or make recommendations despite being in the facility multiple times. No interventions were documented to address the weight loss.
Incorrect nurse staff postings were identified after a record review and staff interview showed that 7 of 14 days had inaccurate postings. The NHA provided the nurse staff posting, HPPD report, and time detail report, and the surveyor found multiple mismatches in total nursing hours and RN coverage hours. The facility census was 62.
Two residents in a LTC facility received incorrect medications due to errors by a seasoned RN and an unsupervised LPN. The residents were given medications not prescribed to them, leading to immediate jeopardy. The facility's records indicated incomplete training attendance among nursing staff.
The facility did not complete annual performance reviews for four out of five nurse aides reviewed, as identified during a staff employment file review. The administrator was informed of the missing evaluations.
The facility did not monitor and document refrigerator temperatures in the medication room on the 300 hall, as required by policy. This oversight was noted during a tour, with multiple instances of missing temperature records throughout August. The DON was informed of the issue by the nurse on the 300 hall.
A facility failed to maintain a homelike environment for a resident, as observed by torn wallpaper in the resident's room. This deficiency was confirmed by the Corporate Vice President during an interview.
The facility did not ensure that all admitting diagnoses were accurately reflected on the PASRR for two residents. One resident's PASRR omitted diagnoses of psychosis and major depressive disorder, while another's did not include major depressive disorder. These omissions were confirmed by facility staff.
Two residents received vaccines against their MPOA's wishes due to errors in consent verification and resident identification. One resident was given a COVID vaccine without consent, while another received a Shingrix vaccine due to a mix-up with a similarly named resident.
The facility failed to ensure a safe environment by leaving used disposable razors in a resident's shower. A nurse aide was informed and acknowledged the issue, and the administrator confirmed the razors should not have been left there.
A facility failed to implement a dietician's recommendation to add protein to a resident's meals to encourage healing. Despite a care plan intervention to encourage high-protein foods and offer supplements, these were not added to the resident's meals or physician orders. The DON acknowledged the oversight.
The facility failed to monitor behaviors and side effects for residents prescribed psychotropic medications. A resident with dementia and bipolar disorder was on Risperdal without behavior monitoring documentation. Another resident on multiple psychotropic medications lacked behavior monitoring records. Additionally, a resident was prescribed Trazodone for an improper diagnosis without side effect or behavior monitoring. The DON confirmed these oversights.
A resident's call light was found to be out of reach, preventing her from calling for help when needed. This issue was confirmed by an RN during an interview.
The facility failed to ensure that a nurse aide completed the required education in dementia care and abuse prevention. This deficiency was identified during a review of staff education records, affecting one of the five staff members reviewed. The facility census was 42 at the time.
Infection Control Program Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an infection control program that limits the transmission of pathogens and helps prevent the spread of disease. During rounding, the Enhanced Barrier Protection signs on rooms 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109 were missing the required indicators identifying which resident the precautions applied to. Staff stated they knew which residents the precautions belonged to because they worked with them daily, and another staff member confirmed the facility uses orange dots on resident name plates to identify residents under EBP, but those markers were missing from the rooms observed. Multiple lift pads used to assist residents with transfers were observed left out on wheelchairs and patient lifts in the hallways, including five wheelchairs and one lift on the 100 hall and two wheelchairs and one lift on the 200 hall, with two of the pads visibly soiled. In the laundry area, the air control vent was observed to be off during the washing and drying process, and staff confirmed it was off. The facility also could only produce weekly water temperature logs and did not have the water flow diagram, water testing, dead leg tests, or other required records for the water maintenance program; the Administrator stated the facility did not have those documents and was waiting on corporate facilities.
Incomplete Person-Centered Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive person-centered care plans for three residents. For one resident with unspecified psychosis, anxiety disorder, and recurrent major depressive disorder, the care plan included antipsychotic and antidepressant medications related to psychosis and depression with associated risks, but it did not list the measurable side effects nursing staff needed to monitor for, even though the MAR included every-shift monitoring for multiple side effects such as sedation, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, extrapyramidal reaction, weight gain, edema, postural hypotension, sweating, loss of appetite, urinary retention, tachycardia, muscle tremor, agitation, headache, skin rash, and photosensitivity. The MDS Coordinator stated this was how the care plans were usually written and that side effects were not added for CNAs because they were listed in the MAR, but CNAs did not have access to the MAR monitoring tool. For another resident who was alert, had aphasia, and was unable to verbally communicate needs, the care plan stated the resident could respond to yes/no questions and had a communication board, but it did not include any intervention related to the communication board. Staff interviews confirmed the resident had a communication board but refused to use it, and one staff member was unaware of it. For a third resident, the care plan stated the resident preferred to have the room door shut for privacy, yet during observation the room door was open and the resident indicated she wanted it shut.
Missing Nurse Aide Competency Reviews
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to have sufficient nursing staff with the appropriate competencies and skill sets to provide nursing and related services to assure resident safety and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident. During the survey process, competency reviews were requested for Nurse Aides #18, 62, 52, 46, and 62, and the Nursing Home Administrator later confirmed that the facility did not have any competency reviews for those nurse aides. This deficiency was identified for five out of five employees reviewed, with a facility census of 62.
Facility Assessment Lacked Staffing Breakdown by Resident Acuity
Penalty
Summary
The facility assessment failed to identify the staffing levels needed to care for residents based on their acuity levels during day-to-day operations, including nights and weekends, and in emergencies. A review of the facility assessment with a review date of 02/16/26 found no staffing levels identified for the number of direct care staff needed based on the acuity level of the residents housed at the facility, and the assessment contained no breakdown reflecting resident acuity to use as a basis for staffing. During an interview on 03/18/26 at 1:13 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator verified that there was no breakdown of staff in the facility assessment as required.
Incomplete Nurse Aide Training Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required nurse aide training for two of five employees reviewed during the survey. For NA #62, the training record requested from the NHA showed only 10 hours of training, and the NHA confirmed that NA #62 did not have the full 12 hours required. For NA #18, the training record provided by the NHA showed only 6 hours of training, and the NHA confirmed that NA #18 also did not have the full 12 hours required. The report states the deficiency involved ensuring nurse aides have the skills needed to care for residents and providing education in dementia care and abuse prevention.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure timely notification to the physician of Resident #5’s significant weight loss. During survey observation, the resident was seen in her room struggling to feed herself, with shaky hands and dropping food. Record review showed the resident weighed 114.6 lbs on 01/25/26 and 101.4 lbs on 02/22/26, an 11.52% weight loss, with the weight log also documenting 105.2 lbs on 03/08/26 and BMI values in the 16 to 18 range. The medical record did not contain documentation that the physician was notified of the significant weight loss, and the DON confirmed that the physician had not been notified.
Failure to Complete Significant Change MDS After Major Fall Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete a Significant Change in Status Assessment (SCSA) MDS for Resident #9 after a fall that resulted in a major injury. Resident #9 reportedly slipped on water in the room, fell, and hit her head. The incident was unwitnessed by staff but was observed by the roommate, who alerted staff. Facility notes show the resident was assessed, the Medical Power of Attorney and MD were notified, and the resident was sent to the hospital on 1/20/26 after vital signs were taken. At the hospital, Resident #9 was found to have a C2 cervical spine fracture and later returned to the facility with instructions to wear a C-collar at all times during healing. An IDT meeting was held and the resident’s orders and care plan were updated to reflect the injury and increased needs, including impacts on ADLs, monitoring, and medications. However, record review showed no SCSA MDS was completed within 14 days of the significant change, and only annual and quarterly MDS assessments were present in the chart. During interview, the MDS coordinator stated she was not sure the fall and fracture would trigger a CIC change, and the Administrator later stated that one probably was needed for the fall with injury.
Care Plan Not Revised for Dental Issue
Penalty
Summary
Resident #42's care plan was not revised to address the resident's dental issues. During record review and resident interview, it was found that Resident #42 had a toothache from 12/02/25 to the present time, and this concern was not included in the care plan. The deficiency was confirmed by the DON on 03/18/26 at 9:27 AM.
Unsecured Treatment Cart and Improper Oxygen Tank Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained as free from accident hazards as possible when an unlocked, unattended treatment cart was observed in an area easily accessible to residents, unauthorized persons, and visitors. During the observation, an LPN confirmed the cart was left unlocked and unattended and stated she did not have a key for it, then asked another LPN if they had one. The DON later confirmed that the treatment cart key is kept locked up, although all nurses have access to it. The facility also stored three oxygen tanks behind the nurses station between the 100 and 200 hallways in rolling carts without regulators and not in the proper metal cages. Staff stated the medication room could not be used for oxygen storage because the required sign was not the approved one, so the tanks were moved out behind the nurses station. The Administrator confirmed the sign was not approved and that the proper sign would be ordered.
Severe weight loss not addressed
Penalty
Summary
Provide enough food and fluids to maintain a resident’s health was not met for Resident #42, who experienced severe weight loss without timely review by the licensed dietician or documented interventions. On 03/16/26, the resident was observed in bed with the noon meal untouched on the over-bed table, and she stated she did not want to eat. Her recorded weights showed 170.2 lbs on 05/30/25, 169.5 lbs on 07/18/25, 171.5 lbs on 09/16/25, 166 lbs on 12/26/25, and 148.8 lbs on 02/20/26. From 12/26/25 to 02/20/26, she lost 10.36% of her body weight, which was identified as severe weight loss. The medical record showed a physician’s order for weights in the first and third week of each month, but the resident was not weighed twice monthly as ordered. Nursing notes indicated she often refused weights. The DON stated the facility did not track meal percentages, used a liberalized eating program, and offered substitutes if residents did not eat. When asked about the weight loss, the DON stated the dietician did not see the resident when she was there and that she did not notify the dietician, saying the dietician should catch it on her own. The dietician was in the facility on 02/26/26, 03/05/26, and 03/12/26 but did not review or make recommendations for Resident #42, and the record showed no interventions were put into place to address the severe weight loss.
Incorrect Nurse Staff Postings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure nurse staff postings were correct after record review and staff interview showed that 7 of 14 days had inaccurate postings. The Nursing Home Administrator provided the nurse staff posting and HPPD report for the period reviewed, and the surveyor compared those records with the HPPD report and time detail report. The comparison showed discrepancies on multiple dates, including differences between the posted nursing hours and the HPPD report, as well as mismatches in RN coverage hours between the nurse staff posting and the time detail report. The facility census was 62.
Medication Administration Errors in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure resident safety during medication administration, resulting in significant medication errors for two residents. On one occasion, a resident was administered medications including Norco, Xanax, and Metoprolol, none of which were prescribed to them. Another resident received Lyrica, which was also not prescribed. These errors were attributed to a seasoned RN and an LPN who was on orientation without proper supervision. The residents involved were unaware of the medications they were supposed to receive, and one resident expressed fear and concern after being informed of the error. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the mistakes, noting that the seasoned nurse had no excuse for the error, while the LPN's mistake occurred due to lack of supervision. The facility's records showed that not all nurses had signed attendance sheets for medication administration training, indicating a gap in ensuring all staff were adequately educated on the rights of medication administration. The errors were reported to the state agency, which identified the situation as an immediate jeopardy to resident safety.
Failure to Complete Annual Performance Reviews for Nurse Aides
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that annual performance reviews were completed for nursing staff, specifically for four out of five nurse aides reviewed. This deficiency was identified during a review of staff employment files, which revealed that the annual performance evaluations were not completed for nurse aides #71, #50, #72, and #14. The facility census at the time was 42. The administrator was informed of the missing evaluations the following day.
Failure to Monitor Medication Refrigerator Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to monitor and document the refrigerator temperatures in the medication room on the 300 hall, which is a requirement for ensuring the proper storage of medications. During a tour on 08/26/24, it was discovered that the temperatures were not recorded on multiple occasions throughout August, including both AM and PM shifts on certain days. This oversight was acknowledged by the Director of Nursing (DON) after being informed by the nurse responsible for the 300 hall. The facility's policy mandates that medications requiring refrigeration must be stored in a refrigerator with a thermometer to allow for temperature monitoring, which was not adhered to in this instance.
Facility Fails to Maintain Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for a resident. An observation revealed that the wallpaper in the resident's room was torn horizontally along the wall from the bathroom door to the window. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Corporate Vice President, who acknowledged the condition of the wallpaper.
Inaccurate PASRR Diagnoses for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all admitting diagnoses were accurately reflected on the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) for two of the four residents reviewed during the Long-Term Care Survey Process. Resident #36 was admitted with diagnoses including unspecified dementia with psychotic disturbance, psychosis, and major depressive disorder. However, the PASRR submitted did not include the diagnoses of psychosis or major depressive disorder, which was confirmed by the social worker. Similarly, Resident #21 had diagnoses of unspecified psychosis, unspecified mood disorder, and major depressive disorder, but the PASRR did not reflect the major depressive disorder diagnosis. This omission was confirmed by the Admissions Director.
Failure to Adhere to MPOA Wishes in Vaccine Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to comply with the Medical Power of Attorney's (MPOA) wishes regarding the administration of immunizations for two residents. Resident #35 received a COVID vaccine without consent, despite the MPOA's explicit instructions to decline it. The progress note indicated that the MPOA had consented to other vaccines but not the COVID vaccine. The administration of the vaccine was carried out by RN #24, and the incident was reported to the MPOA and the physician, with no adverse reactions noted. Resident #36 was mistakenly given a Shingrix vaccine despite the MPOA's prior declination. The error occurred due to a mix-up by Manager Quality RN #69, who confused Resident #36 with another resident with a similar last name. The incident was reported to the MPOA and the physician, and no adverse reactions were observed. The Director of Nursing confirmed the mistake during an interview, acknowledging that the vaccine should not have been administered.
Failure to Safely Dispose of Razors
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and accident-free environment concerning the disposal of razors. During an observation on August 25, 2024, at 10:55 AM, two used disposable razors were found in the soap dish in the shower of a resident's bathroom. This was noted as a random opportunity for discovery and had the potential to affect an isolated number of residents. At 10:58 AM, a nurse aide was informed of the situation and acknowledged the need to remove the razors. The facility administrator was notified at 11:16 AM and confirmed that the razors should not have been left in the shower, indicating a lapse in maintaining a safe environment.
Failure to Implement Nutritional Recommendations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident maintained acceptable nutritional parameters by not implementing the recommendations made by the registered dietician. Specifically, the medical record of Resident #5 revealed a nutritional assessment that recommended adding protein to meals to encourage healing. Despite this recommendation, the care plan intervention to encourage foods high in protein and offer protein supplements was not implemented. The review of the resident's medical record showed that protein was not added to the resident's meals, and no nutritional supplements to increase protein intake were included in the resident's physician orders. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the orders for nutritional recommendations had not been implemented appropriately.
Failure to Monitor Psychotropic Medication Effects
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adequately monitor behaviors and side effects for residents prescribed psychotropic medications, leading to a deficiency in the care area of unnecessary medications. For Resident #43, who had diagnoses of Unspecified Dementia, Bipolar Disorder, and Depression, there was no documentation of behavior monitoring despite being prescribed Risperdal, an antipsychotic medication. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the absence of behavior monitoring documentation during an interview. Similarly, Resident #21 was prescribed multiple psychotropic medications, including Celexa, Wellbutrin, and Zyprexa, yet their medical record lacked any behavior monitoring related to these medications. The DON acknowledged this oversight. Additionally, Resident #5 was prescribed Trazodone for an improper diagnosis of Insomnia, unspecified, without documentation of side effect monitoring or behavior monitoring. The DON admitted that the facility did not monitor for side effects or behaviors related to the use of Trazodone.
Resident's Call Light Not Within Reach
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's call light was within reach, which is a necessary component for residents to call for help when needed. During an observation, it was noted that the resident was unable to reach her call bell, thus preventing her from calling for assistance. This deficiency was confirmed through an interview with a registered nurse who acknowledged that the call light was not accessible to the resident.
Deficiency in Staff Education for Nurse Aide
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the completion of required staff education for one of the five staff members reviewed in the area of sufficient and competent nurse staffing. Specifically, Nurse Aide (NA) #35 did not complete the necessary education in dementia care and abuse prevention. This deficiency was identified during a review of staff education records on August 27, 2024, at 3:00 PM. The facility census at the time was 42. The Administrator was informed of the missing staff education on August 28, 2024, at approximately 9:45 AM.
