Warren Nursing & Rehab: Widespread Environment Violations - OH
The facility's antibiotic stewardship policy, last revised in July 2025, is explicit: every clinical infection treated with antibiotics must be reviewed by the facility's Infection Preventionist, or someone designated to act in that role, and the findings must be recorded on approved surveillance tracking forms. Inspectors, completing their review on December 31, 2025, found that was not happening. The citation covers many residents.
The broader infection control policy at the facility, dating to 2018, sets out goals that include preventing, detecting, investigating, and controlling infections, and establishing guidelines for isolation precautions. The antibiotic stewardship requirement sits inside that framework. When antibiotic use goes unreviewed, there is no systematic record of whether a drug was appropriate, whether it worked, or whether resistant organisms may be emerging.
Warren Nursing & Rehab is disputing the citation.
The deficiency was assigned a harm level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, a designation that does not mean no one was hurt. It means inspectors could not document a specific resident who suffered a concrete injury tied directly to the lapse. The gap in oversight, across many residents, remained in place long enough to generate a formal complaint, an investigation, and a finding of noncompliance.
The facility has been asked to submit a plan of correction. What that plan contains, and whether the Infection Preventionist role is now being consistently filled and documented, has not been made public.
