Barberton Ohio Nursing Home Safety Concerns

Two Stars Rating

Your family can visit Medicare.gov and the Ohio Department of Public Health website to obtain a complete list of all violations, citations, and deficiencies identified by investigators and surveyors.

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of two out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, two out of five stars for staffing issues and five out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse, Physical Punishment, and Being Separated from Others – citation #F223 date May 13, 2016
  • The state investigative team determined that “the facility did not ensure residents were free from physical abuse. This [deficiency of the nursing staff affected one resident] reviewed in the facility self-reported incidents.

    Documentation revealed an incident occurred at the facility at 11:15 PM when a resident “reported to a Registered Nurse (RN) that a State-tested Nursing Assistant slapped the resident on his hand twice. The report revealed [the Aide] woke the resident to take his vitals and when the resident refused, stating they do not take my vitals at night.”

    At that time, the Aide “attempted to proceed with the vital signs check [when the Aide] slapped the resident’s hand. The report revealed when [the resident] told the [Aide] to leave his room, [the aide] slapped the resident’s hand again.”

    Surveyors interviewed the facility Administrator who provided the facility investigation, including an interview with the resident’s roommate. During the interview, the Administrator confirmed the roommate corroborated the resident’s “story and stated he heard two slaps. The Administrator confirmed the abuse incident occurred and stated the incident occurred [before] the recent change in leadership in the facility.”

    The survey team determined that the facility “failed to prevent an incident of physical abuse toward [the resident].” The facility failed to follow their Abuse, Neglect, and Misappropriation of Patient Property policy from 2012, that revealed: “no one should be subjected to abusive behavior and revealed physical abuse includes hitting, slapping, pinching, and kicking.”

  • Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date September 27, 2018
  • The nursing home “failed to ensure [a resident’s] wound care was completed according to Physician’s orders.” The resident’s Skilled Nursing Progress Note dated September 10, 2018, indicated that the “resident skin was assessed and the resident was admitted with an unstageable pressure wound to the sacral area measuring 5.0 cm x 7.0 cm by less than 0.25 cm that was black and gray in color.”

    However, a review of the resident’s Medication Administration Records and Treatment Administration Records revealed “no evidence the resident sacrum pressure ulcer wound was completed on September 10, 2018, during the day shift, September 12, 2018, during the day shift, September 14, 2018, during the day shift, and September 19, 2018, during the day shift.”

Client Reviews

★★★★★
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
