Glendale Place Care Center: Bathing Records Falsified - OH
The violation, tagged under F0677 and covering basic personal hygiene and grooming services, was cited at the minimal harm level. The complaint that triggered the inspection was filed under complaint number OH00166784.
Inspectors found that bath and shower records were being coded incorrectly in the electronic medical record system. The facility's own Director of Nursing acknowledged the problem during the inspection, stating that staff should have been coding those records correctly. The acknowledgment confirmed that the documentation failures were not a matter of disputed interpretation. The system was there. The staff were not using it right.
That gap between what a record says and what actually happened to a resident is not a minor clerical concern in a nursing home setting. Bathing records are among the primary tools a facility uses to track whether residents are receiving the personal hygiene care they are owed. When those records are coded incorrectly, supervisors reviewing a chart cannot determine with confidence whether a resident was bathed on a given day or was not.
The inspection report does not specify how many residents were affected beyond the characterization of "few," nor does it describe what the incorrect coding looked like in practice, whether staff were marking baths as completed when they had not occurred, logging them under the wrong category, or failing to document them at all.
What the report does establish is that the problem was real enough to generate a formal complaint, real enough for an inspector to substantiate it, and real enough for the Director of Nursing to confirm on the record that the practice was wrong.
Glendale Place Care Center is located at 779 Glendale Milford Road in Cincinnati, Ohio, and carries the provider identification number 366327.
The facility was given the opportunity to submit a plan of correction. The inspection report directs anyone seeking information about that plan to contact the nursing home directly or reach the Ohio state survey agency.
The violation was not cited at the immediate jeopardy level, and the report does not document any resident who suffered documented physical harm as a result of the documentation failures. But a record that does not accurately reflect what care was provided is a record that cannot be trusted, and a chart that cannot be trusted is one that leaves a resident's history of basic care invisible to anyone who might need to act on it.
For the residents whose bath records were coded incorrectly, there is no way to know from the outside whether they received the hygiene care they were supposed to receive. The documentation that was meant to answer that question was the problem.

CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
