Warren Nursing & Rehab: Infection Control Failures - OH
The facility's antibiotic stewardship policy, last revised in July 2025, was specific: every clinical infection treated with antibiotics had to be reviewed by the infection preventionist or a designee, and that review had to be recorded on approved surveillance tracking forms. Inspectors found that wasn't happening.
The violation was tagged under F0882 and listed as affecting many residents. The level of harm was cited as minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
The deficiency was uncovered through a formal complaint, filed under Complaint Number 2655919, not during a routine inspection. Someone raised a concern, and inspectors went looking.
Warren Nursing & Rehab is disputing the citation.
The facility's own infection control policy, dating to 2018, laid out the program's purpose: prevent, detect, investigate, and control infections, and establish guidelines for isolation precautions. The antibiotic stewardship component was meant to be a check on how antibiotics were being used and whether they were working. Without the reviews and the tracking forms, there is no documented record of whether residents responded to treatment, whether the right drugs were chosen, or whether patterns of concern were building unnoticed.
Antibiotic stewardship programs exist in part because overuse and misuse of antibiotics can render them less effective over time, a risk that falls hardest on elderly residents in congregate settings who are already vulnerable to infection. Whether any resident at Warren Nursing & Rehab was harmed by the lapse in documentation, the inspection report does not say.
The facility is located at 2473 North Rd NE in Warren, Ohio.
