Findings
Based on interviews and record review, the facility (residence) failed to comply with authorized practitioners ' orders associated with medication administration, affecting four of four sample members (residents) (#1-#4). Findings include:1. Record reviewResident #2 was admitted to the residence on 3/24/25 with diagnoses including Parkinsonism, Unspecified, and an Unspecified Tremor. A signed patient summary from Resident #2's practitioner, dated 8/27/25, read Carbidopa-Levodopa 25/100 mg tablet was to be administered three times a day. A written practitioner's order, dated 2/10/26, directed the residence to reduce the dose of Carbidopa-Levodopa to 25/100 mg tablet twice per day. However, the February and March 2026 medication administration record (MAR) read the medication was administered three times daily at 7:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. from 2/11 to 3/17/26, and during that time Resident #2 received 34 additional doses. 2. InterviewsOn 4/7/26 at 8:10 a.m., Resident #2 stated she was aware that she had received Carbidopa-Levodopa three times per day after her practitioner had changed the medication dose to two times per day. On 4/7/26 at 2:26 p.m., contrary to record review of the February and March 2026 MARs documentation of the administration of the medication, the Wellness Director stated the order was changed in the MAR on 2/11/26. The Wellness Director stated that if the MAR said twice, and the staff was administering the medication three times a day, they were not following orders. On 4/7/26 at approximately 2:30 p.m., the administrator said they were not aware of any delusions or other adverse effects from medications related to Resident #2. The administrator did not have an answer for why the staff continued to administer the medication three times per day instead of the updated order of two times per day. On 4/7/26 at 3:15 p.m., Resident #2's psychiatrist said Resident #2 started to express "delusional thoughts" focused on another unidentified resident in early February of 2026 (specific date unknown). The resident's thoughts included when sunlight was on the resident's leg, she believed it was the unidentified resident "putting laser beams on it." The psychiatrist confirmed that delusions and psychosis were a side effect of high doses of Carbidopa-Levodopa. He stated that psychosis and delusions were not Resident #2's baseline, so the psychiatrist contacted the resident's practitioner to reduce the dosage of Carbidopa-Levodopa from three times per day to two times per day. The psychiatrist stated Resident #2 continued to express delusional thinking at their appointment on 3/17/26, and in his opinion the resident seemed in continual "distress, extended over the course of approximately a month" between the February 2026 visit and the 3/17/26 appointment, due to the residence not following orders. 3. Similar deficient practice was found for Residents #1, #3, and #4.

1. Identification of Other Residents at RiskA 100% audit of all current resident Medication Administration Records (MARs) was completed to ensure all medication orders match the most current practitioner orders. This audit included verification of dose, frequency, and administration times, as well as cross-checking against signed practitioner orders and pharmacy profiles. Any discrepancies identified were corrected immediately, and appropriate notifications were made to practitioners and pharmacy providers. 2. Systemic Changes to Prevent RecurrenceThe facility has implemented the following system-wide corrective measures:An Order Change Verification Process has been implemented as a new policy. All new or updated practitioner orders must be entered into the MAR, independently verified by a second trained staff member (QMAP or nurse), and initialed and dated on an Order Verification Log. A Pharmacy Cross-Check Requirement has been established. All medication changes must be reconciled with the pharmacy profile within 24 hours of receipt. In addition, the pharmacy will complete quarterly audits of all residents and their MARs. A Daily MAR Audit process has been implemented. The Wellness Director or designee will complete a daily MAR spot check focusing on new orders, recent medication changes, and high-risk medications, including neurological and psychotropic medications. A Shift-to-Shift Communication Protocol has been reinforced. All medication changes must be documented in the shift report and verbally communicated during shift handoff to ensure continuity and accuracy. 3. Staff Re-EducationAll QMAPs, medication aides, and leadership staff were re-educated on 5/22/2026. Education included the requirement to follow practitioner orders exactly, proper MAR updating procedures, the medication change verification process, and documentation and communication expectations. Education included return demonstration and competency validation to ensure understanding and compliance. Any staff found to be non-compliant will be subject to progressive discipline in accordance with facility policy, up to and including termination. 4. Monitoring PlanThe Executive Director and Wellness Director will monitor compliance as follows:Weekly audits will be conducted for four weeks, including 100% review of all new medication orders and five random resident MARs per week. Monthly audits will then be conducted for an additional two months, consisting of five random resident MARs per audit. Audits will verify accuracy of MARs compared to practitioner orders, timely implementation of medication changes, and proper documentation and staff compliance. Findings will be documented on a Medication Audit Tool, and corrective action will be taken immediately if any discrepancies are identified. 5. Completion DateAll corrective actions were completed by 4/30/2026. Addendum:Our information on Resident #2:The order was sent into the pharmacy on 2/10/2026 to decrease her prescription of Carbidopa-Lepodopa her 3 times a day 2 times a day and to discontinue her. The pharmacy's system updates our system when doses are changed. This did not happen and Resident #2 was given the medication for 34 days. Resident #2 started this medication in July of 2025. She was aware that her physiatrist decreased her dose to two times a day. During your interview Resident #2 said she knew that she was down to two times per day. She didn't refuse the medication or ask staff why she was still being given that third dose. Resident #2 never reported any delusions or distress to our Wellness Director. Her baseline never was in question to staff or primary care doctor. Our MAR was not updated and therefore our staff continued with the prescription from 2025. Staff did follow her orders that were in the system. I have attached her primary care doctors note from 4/30/2026 who states he never felt she was in distress. He also notes that she never once told him about delusions in the 12 months that he was seeing her.

Specifically, Resident #2 had a diagnosis of Parkinson's. A written practitioner's order, dated 2/10/26, directed the residence to reduce the dosage of Carbidopa-Levodopa 25/100 mg from three times per day to twice per day. However, the residence failed to follow the order for reduction and administered 34 additional doses. Subsequently, Resident #2's psychiatrist reported that Resident #2 had previously had adverse psychiatric effects from high doses of Carbidopa-Levodopa at an appointment in early February 2026, so Resident #2 ' s practitioner monitored for possible effects. The psychiatrist said Resident #2 continued to express delusional thinking and experienced psychosis, which was noticed on 3/17/26, due to receiving additional medication doses after the reduction order was sent to the residence. Further, the psychiatrist stated that he believed the resident experienced continual distress extended between the early February 2026 appointment until the 3/17/26 appointment due to the residence's failure to follow orders.

Findings
Based on record review and interview, the residence failed to provide a discharge notice that specified the timing of events and actions taken to avoid discharge. Additionally, it did not include a practitioner's assessment regarding the resident's care needs in relation to their medical and physical condition, affecting one former resident (#1). Findings include:1. Record ReviewA discharge notice for Former Resident #1 dated 2/3/26, failed to specify the timing of events and actions taken to avoid discharge. Additionally, it did not include a practitioner's assessment regarding the resident's care needs in relation to their medical and physical condition. 2. Interview On 3/24/26 at 2:30 p.m., the administrator of record and acting administrator stated they were unaware that the specified timing for all events and each action taken to prevent the discharge were required to be included in the discharge notice, and that they needed to include either in the writing or attach a practitioner's assessment of the resident's care needs in relation to their medical and physical condition.
Plan of correction · submitted by the facility
Corrective Action:The facility revised its involuntary discharge notice template to ensure compliance with 6 CCR 1011-1 Chapter 7 Part 11.17(A)-(D). The revised template now requires: (1) detailed facts and evidence supporting each reason for discharge; (2) a chronological recounting of events leading to discharge including dates/times and actions taken to avoid discharge; (3) grievance and appeal rights language; (4) required Ombudsman and CDPHE contact information; and (5) practitioner assessment attached or incorporated when discharge is based on medical or physical condition. All leadership staff responsible for discharge notices were re-educated on 4/20/26. All current residents with potential for discharge needs were reviewed to ensure no active notices are deficient. As of today, there are no active involuntary discharge notices. Acting Executive Director, will review 100% of involuntary discharge notices issued by the facility. In addition, five resident charts representative of the current census will be audited monthly to verify no undocumented or incomplete discharge actions exist. Monitoring will occur weekly for four weeks, then monthly for two additional months. Findings will be documented on the Discharge Notice Audit Log. Results will be reviewed during monthly QAPI meetings. Any identified deficient practice will be corrected immediately and staff re-educated as indicated.

Based on record review and interview the facility failed to meet minimum staffing required in order to provide the services described in the Provider Care Plan, affecting two of four sample members (#1,#2). Findings include:1. Record Review Member #1 was admitted to the facility on 3/20/25 with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, anxiety, polyneuropathy, and weakness. An undated document titled, Weekly Shower Schedule, read that Member #1 would receive a shower in the morning every Monday and Thursday of each week. An assessment, dated 3/22/25, read that Member #1 would need assistance with showering twice weekly. A staff communication log read that Member #1 received a shower on 4/7/25 and 4/14/25. A set staff schedule for April 2025 read that the facility day shifts were broken into two time blocks, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The schedule read that from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. one Qualified Medication Administration Personnel (QMAP) and one care giver were scheduled while for the 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. shift one care giver was scheduled.

Interviews On 4/22/25 at 12:15 p.m., Member #1 stated she required staff assistance for showering twice a week. However, since she moved in on 3/20/25, she was only getting one shower a week. Additionally, she was supposed to have a shower on the morning of 4/21/25; however, she did not get one. Member #1 stated there were not enough staff which was why she only received one shower a week. On 4/22/25 at approximately 12:30 p.m., Staff #1 stated that more staff were needed to assist with member care. Similar deficient practice was found for Member #3.
