Warren Nursing & Rehab: Patient Privacy Breach - OH
Warren Nursing & Rehab was cited in a complaint inspection completed December 31, 2025, for failing to follow its own antibiotic stewardship program, a lapse inspectors said affected many residents.
The facility's antibiotic stewardship policy, last revised in July 2025, required that every clinical infection treated with antibiotics be reviewed by the facility's Infection Preventionist or a designee, and that the review be documented on approved surveillance tracking forms. Inspectors found that wasn't happening.
The facility's broader infection control policy, dating to 2018, set out goals that included preventing, detecting, investigating, and controlling infections, and establishing guidelines for isolation precautions. The antibiotic stewardship program was part of that framework.
Antibiotic stewardship programs exist because misuse and overuse of antibiotics can cause direct harm to individual patients and contribute to the spread of drug-resistant infections. When a facility fails to review which antibiotics are being prescribed and why, it loses the ability to catch patterns of overuse, inappropriate prescribing, or treatments that aren't working.
The citation was classified as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm. Warren Nursing & Rehab is disputing the citation.
The violation was investigated under Complaint Number 2655919. The inspection report does not describe how long the tracking lapse continued or how many residents received antibiotics during the period when reviews were not being completed.
The facility updated its own stewardship policy just five months before inspectors arrived and found it wasn't being followed.
