The most recent inspection on file for Brookdale Canton took place on September 11, 2025. Across the 7 inspections published by the Ohio Department of Health, surveyors cited 3 deficiencies.

A deficiency is a rule the surveyor found the facility was not meeting. Ohio inspects against two rule books at once, so most findings carry a federal code and an Ohio code for the same problem; each is counted once here, the way the state counts it. Correction dates are the state's confirmation that the issue was fixed.

This report reproduces what Ohio publishes and nothing else. Of the 7 inspections listed, the state publishes the surveyor's written findings for 2; for the other 5 it publishes only the date, the type of visit and the number of deficiencies - 5 of which found none.

What the surveyor found

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure twelve fire drills were conducted with four fire drills on each shift and failed to ensure transmission of fire alarm signals for the coded fire drills between 9:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. and verification of receipt of that signal no more than twelve hours after the coded announcement. This finding had the potential to affect all 31 residents who reside in the facility.

Findings include:

Review of the fire drills revealed five fire drills were conducted on first shift on 07/06/24, 10/22/24, 12/16/24, 01/24/25, and 04/25/25; three fire drills were conducted on second shift on 08/05/24, 02/13/25, and 05/23/25; and four fire drills were conducted on third shift on 09/25/24, 11/10/24, 03/07/25, and 06/06/25.

Interview on 07/09/25 at 2:54 P.M. with Maintenance Director #212 confirmed the facility did not have evidence of transmitting a third shift fire alarm signal or verification of receipt of that signal no more than twelve hours after the coded announcement.

Interview on 07/09/25 at 3:20 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed the facility conducted five fire drills on first shift, three fire drills on second shift and four fire drills on third shift.

What the surveyor found

Based on observations, medical record review, facility policy review, and staff interviews the facility failed to ensure nursing staff observed Residents #1 and #21 taking their medications. This affected two residents (#1 and #21) of five sampled residents. The facility census was 28.

Findings include:

1. Review of Resident #21's medical record identified admission to the facility occurred on 02/19/22 with medical diagnoses including urinary retention, dementia, and diabetes. Resident #21 was assessed since 02/23/22 for a licensed nurse to administer all medications.

Review of the May 2023 May 2023 physician's orders revealed an order for a nurse to administer all medications.

Observation of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #50 on 05/21/23 at 7:42 A.M. revealed LPN #50 gathered medications for Resident #21 at the medication cart just outside of the main dining room. LPN #50 set the cup of medications down in front of Resident #21 and immediately walked away and down another hallway.

2. Review of Resident #1's medical record identified admission to the facility occurred on 02/12/21 with medical diagnoses including high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation.

Review of the physician's orders for May 2023 physician's orders revealed an order for a nurse to administer all medications.

Review of Resident #1's plan of care dated 01/10/23 stated a nurse needs to administer all medications.

Observation of LPN #50 on 05/21/23 at 7:57 A.M. revealed LPN #50 obtained a cupful of medications for Resident #1. LPN #50 went to the dining room table and set the medications down and immediately walked away.

Interview with LPN #50 on 05/21/23 at 7:57 A.M. confirmed she took medications to Resident #1 and Resident #21 and set them on the dining room table and immediately walked away. LPN #50 confirmed she could not positively confirm the residents had consumed all the medications. LPN #50 confirmed Resident #1 and Resident #21 have physician's orders for nurses to administer their medications and are not capable of self-administration.

Review of the facilities medication administration policy, dated 03/23, revealed nursing staff was to observe the resident taking the medication to verify administration per state regulation.

This violation represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00138063.
