**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility did not ensure Resident #83's guardian was permitted to consent or decline influenza and COVID immunizations. This affected one (Resident #83) of three residents reviewed for guardian's consent to treatment. The facility census was 72. Findings include:Review of the closed medical record revealed Resident #83 was admitted [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses of ataxic cerebral palsy, epilepsy, nutritional anemia, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Review of the emergency contacts revealed co-guardians were listed as the primary contacts. Review of the Amended Letters of Co-Guardianship filed with Mahoning County Probate Court on 12/09/15 revealed Resident #83's father and Resident #83's son were appointed co-guardians of person only and not estate for an indefinite time period or until revoked. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE REDACTED] revealed Resident #83 was cognitively intact as evidenced by a score of 15 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS). Resident #83 required moderate assistance for toileting hygiene, set up/clean up assistance for eating, and supervision for all other activities of daily living (ADL). Review of Resident #83's current care plan revealed the term guardian was absent from the care plan; however, the term resident representative was used throughout. Review of the undated COVID-19 Vaccination Declination Resident Form revealed it was signed by Resident #83 and not signed by a co-guardian. Review of the Influenza Vaccine Consent form dated 2/24 revealed it was signed by Resident #83 and not signed by a co-guardian.
Interview on 09/08/25 at 3:25 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed she was unsure of the consent process, so she had Resident #83 sign the consent and/or declinations. The DON reported she contacted the guardian by phone first although it was not documented in the record.

- 2. Record review revealed Resident #83 was admitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses of ataxic cerebral palsy,
epilepsy, nutritional anemia, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Review of the Amended Letters of Co-Guardianship filed with Mahoning County Probate Court 12/09/15 revealed Resident #83's father and son were appointed co-guardians of person only for an indefinite time period or until revoked.
Review of the obituary for Resident #83 father revealed he passed away 11/27/22 thus making the son the sole guardian of person. The record was not updated to reflect Resident #83's son was the guardian and
the primary contact.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE REDACTED] revealed Resident #83 was cognitively intact as evidenced by a score of 15 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS). Resident #83 required moderate assistance for toileting hygiene, set up/clean up assistance for eating, and supervision for all other activities of daily living (ADL).
Review of progress note dated 06/19/25 at 9:08 A.M. revealed LPN #856 reported Resident #83 “looked out of it” when she went to her room. LPN #856 called Resident #83's name with no response then proceeded to do a sternal rub, still with no verbal stimuli; however, her eyes were open and blinking. Vital signs were taken. Resident #83 was assessed by the NP, and both the physician and NP ordered she be sent to the hospital for evaluation. Resident #83's family was contacted by the NP with no response. There was no other progress note entries made after 06/19/25 at 9:08 A.M.
Interview on 09/04/25 at 1:20 P.M. with LPN #856 confirmed she was the nurse that sent Resident #83 to
the hospital and the author of the 06/19/25 progress note. LPN #856 reported she attempted to contact Resident #83's son but was unsuccessful, so she then called the phone number listed for Resident #83's father which was not a valid number. No voice message was left for Resident #83's son who was the legal living guardian. LPN #856 then reported the NP “took over and called the son herself and left a voice message”. LPN #856 further reported that the father's number was called first for changes in condition, but the son was contacted when the father's number was disconnected.
Interview on 09/11/25 at 3:53 P.M. with NP #902 revealed that on 06/19/25 she attempted to contact Resident #83's father, but no one answered. She was unable to recall if she left a voice message but stated
she did not like to leave messages that may cause panic which was a habit of hers. NP #902 did advise the staff to continue to attempt to contact the family.
Review of the undated Notification of Change Policy revealed the center must inform the resident, consult with the resident's medical practitioner and/or notify the residents' representative, authorized family member or legal power of attorney/guardian when there is a change requiring such notification. Circumstances requiring notification included a transfer or discharge of the resident from the center.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Master Complaint Number 1366502 (OH00167399) and Complaint Numbers 1366501 (OH00167396) and 1366500 (OH00167393).
