On 4/21/26 at 1:01 PM Staff 33 (LPN) stated they did not recall Resident 94, the admission, or any issues related to the delivery of lorazepam. Staff 33 was unable to provide additional information regarding whether the lorazepam prescription was sent to the pharmacy, or why their was a delay in delivery. No documentation by Staff 33 was identified in the medical record to clarify the events surrounding the lorazepam prescription and its delivery. On 4/21/26 at 6:26 PM Witness 7 (Complainant) stated Resident 94 was admitted to the facility around noon on 2/24/26. Witness 7 stated the admitting nurse advised Resident 94GÇÖs lorazepam would be delivered to the facility within a few hours of admission. Witness 7 stated at approximately 2:30 AM on 2/25/26 Resident 94 called them upset indicating she/he needed lorazepam, and it was not available. Witness 7 stated they contacted the facility, advised the nurse the resident needed lorazepam and were told the prescription for lorazepam had not been sent to the pharmacy.-á On 4/27/26 at 12:49 PM Staff 36 (CNA) stated Resident 94 was agitated the night of admission to the facility and the resident requested anti-anxiety medication several times which they reported to the nurse. Staff 36 stated Resident 94 was in distress because her/his lorazepam was not available and upon admission she/he was told it would be. Staff 36 stated the resident also called Witness 7 twice and reported she/he needed her medication and had not received it. On 4/22/26 at 5:24 PM Staff 37 (RN) stated the night of Resident 94GÇÖs admission they received a call from Witness 7 requesting lorazepam for the resident and upon assessment the resident appeared agitated. Staff 37 stated Resident 94 had admitted to the facility earlier that day with orders for lorazepam 1mg tablet, but the prescription had not been sent to the pharmacy and the residentGÇÖs medication was not available for administration. Staff 37 contacted the on-call provider and requested a prescription. Staff 37 then requested a pull-code (a code for secure access) from the pharmacy to access the facilityGÇÖs backup supply of lorazepam and was denied because the residentGÇÖs order was for lorazepam 1mg tablets, whereas the available dose was for 0.5mg tablets. Staff 37 stated they were unable to administer Resident 94 her/his lorazepam.-á On 4/24/26 at 10:35 AM Staff 3 (LPN-Resident Care Manager) and Staff 4 (RNCM) stated the resident was admitted to the facility from home without a hard copy of the prescription for lorazepam. Staff 4 stated in such cases the admitting nurse should have requested a STAT (immediate) prescription from the on-call provider for Resident 94GÇÖs lorazepam for delivery as soon as possible and ideally within four hours. Staff 3 and Staff 4 stated there should have been diligent follow-up by the floor nurse and documentation reflecting the cause of any delay and the status of the prescription delivery, especially given Resident 94GÇÖs diagnoses. Staff 3 acknowledged there was no record of follow-up on the lorazepam prescription in Resident 94GÇÖs medical record. Staff 3 acknowledged Resident 94 did not receive her/his requested dose of lorazepam the night of admission and did not receive her/his scheduled doses as ordered the following day. , 2. Resident 82 was admitted to the facility in 1/2026 with diagnoses including diabetes requiring hemodialysis (a medical procedure for advanced kidney failure that removes waste products, toxins and excessive fluids from the blood). Physician orders dated 2/20/26 and 3/19/26 indicated Resident 82 was prescribed the following diabetic medications: -Insulin aspart (fast-acting insulin) 2 units with meals, scheduled to be administered at 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. -Insulin aspart before meals and at bedtime according to the prescribed sliding scale (insulin doses adjusted based on pre-meal blood sugars designed to correct high blood sugars), scheduled to be administered at 7:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM. A review of Resident 82GÇÖs 4/1/26 through 4/20/26 DAR (Diabetic Administration Record) revealed the residentGÇÖs insulin was not administered timely on the following days: -Insulin aspart on 4/2/26 was administered at 7:17 PM and should have been administered at 5:00 PM, 4/3/26 was administered at 6:13 PM and should have been administered at 5:00 PM and 4/7/26 was administered at 2:05 PM and should have been administered at 12:00 PM. -Sliding scale Insulin aspart on 4/3/26 was administered at 10:24 PM, 4/8/26 was administered at 9:36 PM, 4/13/26 was administered at 9:01 PM and 4/19/26 was administered 9:41 PM. These doses should have been administered at 8:00 PM. No evidence was found in Resident 82's clinical record as to why her/his insulin was administered late on the above dates.-á On 4/19/26 at 10:51 AM and 4/21/26 at 11:25 AM, Resident 82 stated, on many occasions, her/his insulin was not being administered timely. Resident 82 stated she/he was a brittle diabetic (a diabetic that experiences frequent and severe swings in blood sugars) and required hemodialysis so receiving her/his insulin timely to keep her/his blood sugars controlled was very important. Resident 82 stated it was frustrating to receive her/his insulin late and late administration mostly occurred with her/his bedtime insulin. On 4/22/26 at 11:38 AM, Staff 14 (RN) stated Resident 82GÇÖs blood sugars go GÇ£low really fast.GÇ¥ Staff 14 stated Resident 82 reported to him that her/his nighttime insulin was administered late, at times. Staff 14 stated the night shift nurse (6:00 PM to 6:00 AM) was responsible for administering medications and insulin to residents so they could get busy and might not be able to administer insulin on time. 4/23/26 at 11:54 AM, Staff 3 (LPN-Resident Care Manager) stated when nurses administered insulin late, they were required to write a progress note explaining the reasoning for the late insulin administration. She reported the nighttime nurse could get busy and GÇ£backed upGÇ¥ with medication and insulin administration, resulting in insulin not being administered timely. Staff 3 reviewed Resident 82GÇÖs 4/2026 DAR and confirmed the residentGÇÖs insulin was not administered timely on the dates identified. Staff 3 stated it was her expectation that insulin be administered according to the times established on the DAR unless a progress note was written to explain the rationale for late administration. Staff 3 acknowledged the dates identified did not have progress notes written, and Resident 82GÇÖs insulin was not timely administered. , 1. Resident 49 was admitted to the facility in 9/2025 with diagnoses including diabetes.-á A 1/9/26 United Wound Healing Note revealed the following: -Resident 49 admitted to the facility with wounds of the bilateral lower extremities and right foot. -Interventions included offloading, repositioning and wound dressings, and the residentGÇÖs tolerance of the treatment was reported to be good. -All wounds had healed, and treatment recommendations included to monitor for reopening of old wounds and for the presence of new wounds. Resident 49's 4/4/26 Quarterly MDS revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired, experienced episodes of disorganized thinking (fragmented, illogical or disjointed thoughts often manifesting as incoherence or rapid shifting between unrelated topics) and did not have any ulcers, wounds or skin problems. Resident 49GÇÖs 4/15/26 Potential for Impaired Skin Integrity and Diabetes Care Plans revealed the following: -Check skin when assisting with ADLs. -Ensure socks/hosiery were clean and absorbent every day. -Avoid constrictive shoes. -Carefully dry between toes but do not apply lotion between toes. -The resident refuses to take off her/his boots. Encourage the resident to remove them at night when in bed. -Inspect feet daily for open areas, sores, pressure areas, blisters, edema or redness. Report any of the above to the provider. -Monitor/document/report to the provider as needed any signs and symptoms of infection. -Refer to foot care nurse/podiatrist. Resident 49GÇÖs 4/2026 Physician Orders directed the following: -A nurse was to perform a diabetic foot check every week and notify the provider if a skin issue was noted. -A weekly head-to-toe skin inspection was to be completed by the nurse. The resident care manager was to be notified of any new skin issue and if the resident would benefit from a podiatry consult. Any refusals were to be documented in the electronic record. A review of Resident 49GÇÖs 4/2026 TAR revealed the following: -Staff 17 (LPN) completed the residentsGÇÖ weekly diabetic foot check on 4/6/26 and 4/13/26 and no skin issues were noted. -Staff 15 (LPN) completed the residentGÇÖs weekly skin inspection on 4/14/26 and no skin issues were noted. A 4/15/26 Nursing Quarterly Evaluation completed by Staff 3 (LPN-Resident Care Manager) indicated Resident 49 did not have any skin integrity concerns. A review of Resident 49GÇÖs clinical record indicated the resident had routine refusals of all aspects of care. On 4/20/26 at 1:14 PM, Resident 49 was observed in her/his room, sat in her/his wheelchair and wore pants, thick socks and heavy boots. Resident 49 stated she/he was not going to participate in activities on this day as she/he GÇ£was having trouble with my socks.GÇ¥ The resident pulled up her/his right pant leg and revealed a dark red sock covered in flaked skin, and the exposed part of her/his calf was bright red. The resident attempted to pull the right sock away from the skin but was only able to pull away the top part of the sock as the sock stuck to the residentGÇÖs skin at her/his ankle. A large skin indent was observed where the top part of the sock had been, the skin that was visible underneath was bright red and appeared raw and exuded a malodorous odor. A dirty, blood-tinged bandage was observed underneath the residentGÇÖs right sock and was stuck to the residentGÇÖs skin. The resident, unprompted by the state surveyor, removed her/his boots at this time. The residentGÇÖs socks appeared dirty and were covered in flaked skin. The resident was unable to answer any specific questions related to her/his skin as her/his speech was disorganized (incoherent, illogical or rambling speech) but stated her/his legs were GÇ£getting more painfulGÇ¥ and she/he had been in pain for a couple of months because of her/his ankles. On 4/20/26 at 4:18 PM, Resident 49 was observed to ambulate down the hall towards the nurseGÇÖs station. The resident wore dark red socks and did not wear any shoes or boots. Once at the nurseGÇÖs station, Resident 49 lifted her/his right pant leg and asked Staff 30 (RN) for GÇ£some help with this.GÇ¥ Resident 49 returned to her/his room and Staff 30 remained at the nurseGÇÖs station. -á On 4/21/26 at 11:26 AM, Staff 31 (LPN) stated some of the nurses at the facility do not complete resident skin checks, and GÇ£they donGÇÖt even offer.GÇ¥ On 4/21/26 at 11:48 AM, Staff 12 (CNA) stated Resident 49 refused to shower, change clothes or remove her/his shoes. Staff 12 stated she had never visualized the residentGÇÖs legs or feet. On 4/21/26 at 12:32 PM, Staff 15 stated she had never completed a head-to-toe skin inspection for Resident 49 and did not recall completing a skin assessment on 4/14/26. Staff 15 stated she thought she was able to visualize the residentGÇÖs feet and legs on one occasion but GÇ£it was not recent.GÇ¥ Staff 15 stated she had not reported to the residentGÇÖs provider her/his refusals of skin inspections. On 4/21/26 at 1:53 PM, Staff 44 (Physician Assistant-Certified) stated she was aware of Resident 49GÇÖs daily refusals of care, but she would expect to be notified weekly of any refusals of skin inspections. Staff 44 stated she could not recall the last time she was notified Resident 49 refused a skin inspection. On 4/21/26 at 7:22 PM, Staff 17 stated she had never assessed Resident 49GÇÖs feet. Staff 17 stated her documentation on the residentGÇÖs TAR on 4/6/26 and 4/13/26 indicated she attempted to complete the residentGÇÖs diabetic foot check, but the resident refused on both occasions. Staff 17 further stated she had notified the residentGÇÖs resident care manager of her/his diabetic foot care refusals, but she had not notified the residentGÇÖs provider. On 4/22/26 at 10:28 AM, Staff 3 stated she was unsure as to when to notify a residentGÇÖs provider if a resident refused a skin inspection or a diabetic foot check. Staff 3 stated she observed Resident 49GÇÖs feet on 4/21/26 after the resident had independently removed her/his boots but did not state the last time she had visualized the residentGÇÖs feet prior to this opportunity.

M183 Nursing Services Minimum C.N.A. Staffing 1. Correction/s as it relates to the resident/s: Root Cause Analysis: Review of the staffing report notes and reasonings related to being short staffed is largely related to call outs. This is an ongoing problem within the center to as to a general feeling that if the attendance policy is enforced, people will only call out more. The facility should be following the attendance policy to assure not only that staff attendance is appropriately monitored and addressed; but to assure that strong and consistent employees have the teammates they need to assure quality care to the residents. Further review notes 3 changes of Director of Nursing in the last 18 months; with the most recent two leaders either not engaging the staff, nor enforcing attendance policy programs. Neither demonstrated a clear understanding and one the desire to assure consistent systems put in place for staffing. The previous administrative leadership was relatively complacent in supporting nursing and the staffing issues, providing discussion support but no significant interventions provided. Both reported issues r/t the staffer; however, this person what changed out and staffing did not improve. Another area is having a consistent staffing coordinator with good communication and leadership skills. 2.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure records were complete and accurate for 3 of 7 sampled residents (#s 10, 14 and 28) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for inaccurate records. Findings include: 1. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility in 8/2018 with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) affecting her/his right dominant side and slurred speech after a stroke. A 3/6/22 physician order revealed a start date for a Wanderguard alarm (alarm used for elopement alerts). Review of the resident's 7/2022 and 8/2022 MARs and TARs revealed 56 administration opportunites had missing documentation and multiple days where an "8" (see other/nurse notes) was documented. The MARs and TARs had an 11/8/21 expiration date for the Wanderguard. Nursing notes for 7/2022 and 8/2022 revealed no specific information regarding the missing documentation and no information of the resident's medications and treatments which were coded with an "8" on the MAR and TARs. On 8/26/22 at 9:03 AM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed the resident's records were inaccurate and stated there should not be any blanks on the MAR and TAR. , 2. Resident 14 was admitted in 5/2018 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (a condition that causes hallucinations, delusions, and mood disorder). A review of Resident 14's medication administration summary from 8/11/22 through 8/13/22 revealed missing documentation for resident medication administration during the evening shift for the following medications: - Atorvastatin Calcium Tablet; - Benztropine Mesylate; - Senna Plus Tablet; - Tamsulosin HCI Capsule; - Flovent Diskus Aerosol Powder Breath; - Gabapentin Capsule; - Propranolol HCI Tablet; - Combivent Respimat Aerosol Solution.

If the resident desires, return the door and curtains to the open position and if visitors are waiting, tell them that they may now enter room. On 8/25/2022 Staff 23 (Director of Education & Training) stated the facility used The Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice for Procedures and there was a copy of Lippincott at the nurse's station. According to The Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice 10th Edition the procedure for irrigating a catheter is as follows: 1. Wash hands. Put on Gloves. 2. Using aseptic technique, pour sterile irrigating solution into sterile container. 3. Clean around catheter and drainage tubing connection with alcohol swabs. 4. Disconnect catheter from drainage tubing. Cover tubing with a sterile cap. 5. Place a sterile drainage basin under the catheter. 6. Connect a large-volume syringe to the catheter and irrigate catheter using prescribe amount of sterile irrigant. 7. Remove syringe and place end of catheter over drainage basin, allowing returning fluid to drain into basin. 8. Repeat irrigation procedure until fluid is clear or according to order. For clot irrigation, pull back gently on syringe. 9. Disinfect the distal end of the catheter and end of drainage tubing; reconnect the catheter and tubing. Dispose of irrigation solution and syringe. Remove gloves. Wash hands. 10. Document type and amount of irrigating solution, color and character of returning fluid, presence of sediment/blood clots, and patient's reaction. On 8/24/22 at 2:23 PM Staff 14 (LPN) was observed walking to the Medical Records Office with a bottle saline and a handful of unwrapped gauze. Staff 14 and Staff 13 (LPN) went into Resident 33's room with the same supplies. Staff 14 placed the supplies on Resident 33's bedside table and informed Resident 33 she was going to flush her/his catheter. Wearing gloves Staff 14 removed the dressing around the suprapubic catheter. She removed those gloves and put on new gloves without completing hand hygiene. Staff 14 cleaned the skin around the catheter insertion site with the unwrapped gauze and saline. Staff 14 proceeded to flush Resident 33's catheter without changing her gloves or performing hand hygiene. Staff 14 opened a new container of saline and pulled a syringe out of Resident 33's bedside table drawer. The syringe was in the original packaging which was previously opened. Staff 14 inserted the contaminated syringe into the sterile saline. Staff 14 disconnected the catheter from the drainage tubing and handed the drainage tubing to Staff 13. Staff 14 flushed the catheter with the contaminated saline and placed the syringe back into the container of saline. Staff 14 reconnected the catheter to the drainage tubing and observed the flush draining from the catheter into the collection bag. Wearing the same gloves, Staff 14 cut a slit into some unwrapped gauze, placed the gauze on skin around the catheter, taped the gauze down, reached into her pocket for a pen and wrote the date on the tape. With the same gloves on, Staff 14 removed the syringe from the saline and put it back in the packaging. Staff 14 confirmed the date written on the syringe packaging was 8/14/22. Staff 14 put the lid on the saline and wrote the date on the bottle. Staff 14 returned the contaminated saline and the contaminated syringe into the second drawer of Resident 33's bedside table. Staff 14 discarded her gloves and walked out of the room. In the hallway, Staff 14 stated she liked to use the syringe only one time but there were supply issues and there were no syringes available. Staff 14 stated she could get two uses out of the bottle of saline as long as it was not contaminated. Staff 14 could not describe what would contaminate the saline and stated again she would not use the saline more than twice. At 3:08 PM Staff 14 had not completed hand hygiene; the surveyor asked when she would complete hand hygiene and she used alcohol based sanitizer at that time. On 8/24/22 at 5:15 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated the bottle of saline and the syringe should have been discarded after one use and confirmed the syringe used to flush Resident 33's catheter was contaminated and should have not been reused. On 8/26/22 at 10:24 AM Staff 2 (DNS) said gauze should have been placed on a clean surface and not brought to the room with bare hand; the gauze should have been placed in either a container or gloved hands. Staff 2 also said nurses should have washed their hands before and after treatment, and hand sanitizer could be used when gloves were changed during a treatment. , 2. On 8/22/22 at 9:30 AM a notification was observed posted on the facility's front entrance door revealing there were COVID-19 cases in the facility. There was no staff at the facility's screening area to assist visitors. The facility's entry screening area included an automated touchless device for a COVID-19 screening process which tracked head movement for "yes" and "no" responses. If the device was unable to recognize the head movement response, the device provided touch screen response options. The last question during this screening process asked if the screen was touched and if so the respondent was directed to use a wipe to clean the screen. No EPA authorized sanitizing wipes were available in the screening area. On 8/22/22 at 10:08 AM Staff 26 (Housekeeping) removed his face shield and placed it on a side table without a barrier next to the COVID-19 entry screening area. He then walked out the door. At 10:11 AM Staff 26 re-entered the facility, picked up his face shield and walked down the hall without performing any hand hygiene or sanitizing the face shield and side table. At 10:13 AM Staff 26 returned to the screening area, removed his face shield and placed it on the same side table as earlier without a barrier and headed for the door. The Surveyor stopped Staff 26 to ask about hand hygiene and the process of handling PPE when leaving the building. Staff 26 confirmed leaving his face shield on the side table and said, "Well I don't know where to put it then." On 8/22/22 at 10:10 AM a male visitor was observed to enter the facility, took a N95 mask but did not put it on and proceeded to walk down the hall towards the nurses station without completing the screening process and without performing any hand hygiene. On 8/22/22 at 10:29 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed there were four COVID-19 positive residents in the facility. On 8/22/22 at 10:45 AM Staff 1, Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 33 (Administrator in Training) were informed of the observations and interview with Staff 26 at the entry screening area. Staff 1 stated staff were to assist with greeting guests at the door if the assigned door greeter was not available. Staff 1 stated everyone should have been screened upon entering the facility and he confirmed there were no sanitizing wipes available at the screening area. Staff 1 acknowledged staff should direct guests to wear face masks and to perform hand hygiene upon entrance. Staff 1 stated staff were to remove their face shields and carry it with them outside the facility and sanitize them with the wipes at the screening area when they returned. On 8/24/22 at 12:20 PM Staff 6 (SSD) was observed in her office with two other staff, within three feet of each other. Staff 6's face mask was below her nose and then under her chin. Staff 6 was observed to pull her face mask up over her nose and then pulled it away from her face while talking to the staff. During an interview at 12:27 PM Staff 6 wore her face mask below her nose and pulled the face mask away from her face as she spoke to the surveyor. On 8/24/22 at 2:02 PM Staff 7 (CNA) was observed at the nurses station without eye protection and a face mask. On 8/24/22 at 4:43 PM Staff 15 (Central Supply) stated she ordered supplies weekly on Thursdays and they were received on the following Monday. When asked about glove supply Staff 15 stated the facility ran out of gloves for resident care about a month ago and Staff 1 (Administrator) had to purchase more from a nearby store. Staff 15 stated she had a budget of $750.00 per week for all supplies and tried to purchase eight cases of gloves. On 8/25/22 at 11:04 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed staff performing resident care ran out of gloves. He stated he had to run to the store to purchase gloves. Staff 1 confirmed Staff 15 had budget restrictions for purchasing supplies which was set by the facility's corporate operation. On 8/25/22 at 12:13 PM Staff 13 (LPN) was observed without eye protection. When asked about infection control eye protection Staff 13 pulled the prescription eye glasses from on top of his head down onto the bridge of his nose and tapped on one of the lenses and said, "There!" When asked if he thought his eye glasses were considered as PPE for infection control he stated it was his 3rd day working for the facility and he was not provided with eye protection. On 8/25/22 at 12:24 PM Staff 2 (DNS) was informed Staff 13 stated he had no eye protection. Staff 2 stated he would provide eye protection to Staff 13.. On 8/25/22 at 2:13 PM Staff 13 was observed walking from the B Hall to the nurses station without a face mask on. 3. Based on observation and interview it was determined the facility failed to implement infection control practices while retrieving soiled laundry and failed to ensure wet laundry was not left in the washer overnight for 1 of 1 laundry services reviewed for infection control practices. This placed residents at risk for cross contamination and infections. Findings include: On 8/25/22 at 8:05 AM Staff 27 (Laundry) stated she worked in laundry twice a week and picked up the last round of linens for laundering between 11:30 AM and 11:45 AM. She stated the wet linens did not always get put into the dryer before the end of her shift. She stated the wet linens remained in the washer overnight until morning when they were placed into the dryer. On 8/25/22 at 11:04 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed wet laundry should not have been left in the washer overnight. On 8/26/22 at 8:40 AM Staff 28 (Laundry) was observed retrieving the soiled linen bin without gloves on and took it to the laundry room. She did not perform hand hygiene before putting on PPE to sort the laundry. She stated she thought she was not supposed to wear gloves on resident halls. Staff 28 confirmed wet laundry was sometimes left in the washer overnight.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from mental abuse for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#1) reviewed for abuse. This placed residents at risk for psychosocial harm. Findings include: The facility's undated "Prevention and Reporting: Resident Mistreatment, Neglect, Abuse, Including Injuries of Unknown Source, and Misappropriation of Resident Property" policy revealed "A resident has the right to be free from abuse...as defined...Verbal abuse is oral, written, or gestured language that includes disparaging and derogatory terms to the resident...within their hearing distance regardless of their age, ability to comprehend or disability, that would demean or humiliate, resulting in pain or mental anguish. Mental abuse can be verbal or non-verbal. It includes, but is not limited to...threats of punishment or deprivation." Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 7/2020 with diagnoses including heart failure and major depressive disorder. The resident's 10/2020 care plan revealed Resident 1 structured her/his leisure time independently and was highly involved in group and independent activities. The 7/2021 Annual MDS assessment revealed Resident 1 had a BIMS of 15 (no cognitive impairment). The 8/9/21 FRI revealed Resident 1 reported to Staff 4 (RNCM) she/he wanted to go to the dining room and Staff 11 (Former CNA) told her/him the dining room would not be open while they were in the resident's room. Staff 4 witnessed Staff 11, who was visibly upset, push Resident 1 down the hall in her/his wheelchair, and heard Staff 11 state "Well, the dining room is open now," and "It is really selfish of you to want to open the dining room and it isn't fair to other residents." Staff 4 followed up with Resident 1, who reported the same. Staff 4 spoke to Staff 11 about the incident and suspended her pending an investigation. The facility's 8/9/21 investigation revealed Staff 11 told Staff 4 prior to the incident with Resident 1 she would not open the dining room due to staffing levels. Staff 11 was later seen by Staff 4 and upset while she pushed Resident 1 to the dining room stating "Well, the dining room is open now," and "It is really selfish of you to want to open the dining room and it isn't fair to other residents." Resident 1 was upset and noted to be very angry about the way Staff 11 spoke to her/him. The investigation revealed Resident 1 usually ate her/his meals in the dining room and wanted to do so on 8/9/21. The investigation indicated the facility was within the appropriate level of staffing during this timeframe. Resident 1 was placed on alert monitoring for psychosocial harm. Progress notes revealed Resident 1 was upset and angry on 8/9/21 after the incident with Staff 11. Resident 1 told staff it was "...one of the only things some of the residents come out of their rooms to do."

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from misappropriation of resident personal property for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#4) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for missing pain medication which were ordered to be administered at scheduled times and as needed. Findings include: Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 3/2020 with diagnoses including peripheral vascular disease (a condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs). The resident's 12/2021 Quarterly MDS revealed she/he had a BIMS of 15 (no cognitive impairment). The 10/2021, 11/2021 and 12/2021 physician orders revealed orders for Gabapentin Tablet 400 mg to be administered by mouth three times a day for pain/discomfort and Norco Tablet 10-325 MG (HYDROcodone-Acetaminophen) Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for pain. A 10/30/21 Omnicare Pharmacy Delivery Receipt revealed 3 orders of Gabapentin 400 MG capsules 30 count each (a total of 90 capsules) were filled and sent to the facility on 10/31/21 for Resident 4. An 11/19/21 facility investigation revealed 3 full cards (a total of 90 capsules) of Resident 4's Gabapentin 400 mg medication was missing, and the resident ran out of medication on 11/2/21 or 11/3/21. The medication could not be refilled because it was reordered on 10/30/21 and received by Staff 20 (LPN) on 10/31/21. Staff 20 stated he signed in multiple medication cards and put them in overflow stock in the medication cart. The pharmacy indicated the Gabapentin medication could not be refilled until 11/22/21. The investigation revealed licensed nurses and CMAs used Gabapentin medication from other facility residents to ensure Resident 4 received her/his medication but no other resident's names were provided. An 11/22/21 CVS Pharmacy Shipment Details slip revealed 3 orders of Gabapentin 400 MG capsules 30 count each (a total of 90 capsules) were filled and sent to the facility on 11/22/21 for Resident 4. A handwritten note on the slip revealed the medication was received by the facility on 11/22/21. A 12/17/21 Omnicare pharmacy delivery receipt revealed a reorder of 90 capsules of Gabapentin 40 MG for Resident 4 on 12/15/21 was made. A handwritten note on the document revealed Staff 7 (Former RN) reordered the medication on 12/15/21 and Staff 21 (LPN) signed it was received on 12/16/21. A PointClickCare - EMAR - Resident Details facility document revealed on 12/17/21, 12/29/21 and 12/31/21 attempts were made by facility staff to refill the resident's Gabapentin medication, but it was too soon to refill and would not be available for refill until 1/7/22. A 12/31/21 email from Staff 4 (RNCM) to Staff 19 (Former Director of Nursing (DON)) revealed the start of an investigation for Resident 4's missing Gabapentin received by facility staff on 12/16/21. The document revealed Staff 13 (Former RN) took Gabapentin medication from the facility's emergency medication kit so Resident 4 would not go without and noted the facility would need to pay for the remaining Gabapentin prescription needed until 1/7/22. A 1/5/22 facility document titled "In re: Investigation for potential narcotic diversion ..." revealed, "On 12/22 another investigation was launched for missing gabapentin..." regarding Resident 4, "...as she/he had run out of gabapentin before the refill was due...and it was found one nurse routinely gave Resident 4 prn Norco medication and no other nurse or medication aide had a consistent pattern." Resident 4 was interviewed on 12/31/21 and stated "I have only needed it a couple times this month." A review of Resident 4's 10/2021, 11/2021 and 12/2021 MAR and Staff 7's employment time card revealed the resident's Norco medication was administered consistently by Staff 7 during her shifts which totaled 56 administrations. The Norco medication was documented as administered by two other staff for a total of 3 administrations between 10/1/21 and 12/31/21. On 6/14/22 at 2:38 PM Resident 4 confirmed she/he had orders for Gabapentin 3 times a day and Norco medication as needed, and only used the Norco pain pill a few times a month. On 6/15/22 at 1:33 PM Staff 13 stated Staff 7 would not let anyone else work on the medication cart she used. Staff 13 stated she was aware of Resident 4's missing Gabapentin medication when she went to administer the medication and found it was missing but could not provide dates. She indicated Resident 4 rarely requested the Norco medication and was clear about her/his pain level. On 6/16/22 at 11:00 AM Staff 4 stated she was informed by Staff 13 in 10/2021 the Gabapentin medication for Resident 4 was missing and the pharmacy would not refill it. Staff 4 stated she reviewed the MAR and medications and found the math did not add up. She stated she reported the issue to Staff 18 (Former DON), Staff 19 and Staff 1 (Administrator). She went on to say between 11/3/21 and 11/22/21 gabapentin medication was borrowed from other residents and administered to Resident 4 so she/he would not have any missed medications. Staff 4 stated during her review she noticed Resident 4 received Norco every time Staff 7 worked. She added Staff 7 was asked to complete a drug test but refused and resigned from her employment.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure allegations of missing pain medication, suspected medication diversion and an injury of unknown origin were reported to the State Agency for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#4 and 5) reviewed for missing medication and nursing services. This placed residents with pain to be at risk for inaccessibility to pain medication and injuries. Findings include: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 3/2020 with diagnoses including peripheral vascular disease (a condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs). The resident's 12/2021 Quarterly MDS revealed she/he had a BIMS of 15 (no cognitive impairment). The 10/2021, 11/2021 and 12/2021 physician orders revealed orders for Gabapentin Tablet 400 mg to be administered by mouth three times a day for pain/discomfort and Norco Tablet 10-325 MG (HYDROcodone-Acetaminophen) Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for pain. A 10/30/21 Omnicare Pharmacy Delivery Receipt revealed 3 orders of Gabapentin 400 MG capsules 30 count each (a total of 90 capsules) were filled and sent to the facility on 10/31/21 for Resident 4. An 11/19/21 facility investigation revealed 3 full cards (a total of 90 capsules) of Resident 4's Gabapentin 400 mg medication was missing, and the resident ran out of medication on 11/2/21 or 11/3/21. The medication could not be refilled because it was reordered on 10/30/21 and received by Staff 20 (LPN) on 10/31/21. Staff 20 stated he signed in multiple medication cards and put them in overflow stock in the medication cart. The pharmacy indicated the Gabapentin medication could not be refilled until 11/22/21. The investigation revealed licensed nurses and CMAs used Gabapentin medication from other facility residents to ensure Resident 4 received her/his medication and no other resident's names were not provided. An 11/22/21 CVS Pharmacy Shipment Details slip revealed 3 orders of Gabapentin 400 MG capsules 30 count each (a total of 90 capsules) were filled and sent to the facility on 11/22/21 for Resident 4. A handwritten note on the slip revealed the medication was received by the facility on 11/22/21. A 12/17/21 Omnicare pharmacy delivery receipt revealed a reorder of 90 capsules of Gabapentin 40 MG for Resident 4 on 12/15/21 was made. A handwritten note on the document revealed Staff 7 (Former RN) reordered the medication on 12/15/21 and Staff 21 (LPN) signed it was received on 12/16/21. A PointClickCare - EMAR - Resident Details facility document revealed on 12/17/21, 12/29/21 and 12/31/21 attempts were made by facility staff to refill the resident's Gabapentin medication, but it was too soon to refill and would not be available for refill until 1/7/22. A 12/31/21 email from Staff 4 (RNCM) to Staff 19 (Former DON) revealed the start of an investigation for Resident 4's missing Gabapentin received by facility staff on 12/16/21. The document revealed Staff 13 (Former RN) took Gabapentin medication from the facility's emergency medication kit so Resident 4 would not go without and noted Staff 19 the facility would need to pay for the remaining Gabapentin prescription needed until 1/7/22. A 1/5/22 facility document titled "In re: Investigation for potential narcotic diversion ..." revealed, "On 12/22 another investigation was launched for missing gabapentin ..." regarding Resident 4, " ...as she/he had run out of gabapentin before the refill was due...and it was found one nurse routinely gave Resident 4 prn Norco medication and no other nurse or medication aide had a consistent pattern." Resident 4 was interviewed on 12/31/21 and stated "I have only needed it a couple times this month". A review of Resident 4's 10/2021, 11/2021 and 12/2021 MAR and Staff 7's employment time card revealed the resident's Norco medication was administered consistently by Staff 7 during her shifts which totaled 56 administrations. The Norco medication was documented as administered by two other staff for a total of 3 administrations between 10/1/21 and 12/31/21. On 6/14/22 at 2:38 PM Resident 4 confirmed she/he had orders for Gabapentin 3 times a day and Norco medication as needed, and only used the Norco pain pill a few times a month. On 6/15/22 at 1:33 PM Staff 13 stated Staff 7 would not let anyone else work on the medication cart she used. Staff 13 stated she was aware of Resident 4's missing Gabapentin medication when she went to administer the medication and found it was missing but could not provide dates. She indicated Resident 4 rarely requested the Norco medication and was clear about her/his pain. On 6/16/22 at 11:00 AM Staff 4 stated she was informed by Staff 13 in 10/2021 the Gabapentin medication for Resident 4 missing and the pharmacy would not fill it. Staff 4 stated she reviewed the MAR and medications and found the math did not add up. She stated she reported the issue to Staff 18 (former DON), Staff 19 and Staff 1 (Administrator). She went on to say between 11/3/21 and 11/22/21 gabapentin medication was borrowed from other residents and administered to Resident 4 so she/he would not have any missed medications. Staff 4 stated during her review she noticed Resident 4 received Norco every time Staff 7 worked. She added Staff 7 was asked to complete a drug test but refused and resigned her employment. On 6/16/22 at 1:56 PM Staff 1 and Staff 2 (DON) acknowledged the incidents of Resident 4's missing Gabapentin medication. They both acknowledged suspected drug diversion by Staff 7 of Resident 4's Norco medication.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to adequately conduct a pain assessment and failed to evaluate the response to pain interventions to ensure an effective pain management regimen was attained for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#6) reviewed for pain. This placed residents at risk for pain. Findings include: Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on 9/7/21 with diagnoses including fracture of the right tibia and right fibula (parallel calf bones) and fracture of the right wrist. The resident's baseline care plan dated 9/8/21 indicated the resident's goal for pain relief was to implement non-pharmacological measures. Interventions included administering analgesics, trying different pain relief methods such as positioning, relaxation, bathing, heat and cold application, muscle stimulation, ultrasound and to monitor/record/report resident complaints of pain or requests for pain treatment. No observations were made of Resident 6 due to her/his discharge. Hospital discharge orders were faxed to the facility on 9/7/21 at 12:59 PM and included a prescription for Oxycodone, 5 mg/1-2 tablets to be taken by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain. A signed provider note dated 9/7/21 with no time stamp revealed nursing staff contacted the facility provider advising the resident was admitted to the facility with no pain prescription sent. A nursing note dated 9/8/21 at 2:44 AM revealed Staff 13 (Former RN) spoke to Resident 6 and she/he was "irritable and pain 7/10 this shift. Took quite some time to get Oxycodone from pharmacy and 1st dose (2 tabs) given at 11:00 PM. This RN listened and validated her/his concerns regarding delay in pain medication from 12:00 PM at hospital to 11:00 PM." Review of the resident's clinical record revealed no pain assessment was completed and no non pharmacological interventions to reduce or relieve pain were provided to the resident on 9/7/21. Resident 6 did not receive her/his PRN Oxycodone pain reliever until 11:01 PM on 9/7/21, which was approximately seven hours after she/he admitted to the facility. In an interview with Staff 4 (RNCM) on 6/15/22 at 1:34 PM, she indicated staff could pull medication from the Omnicell (facility's emergency medication kit) for residents who admitted to the facility without pain medication orders if the medications were common. Staff 4 confirmed the pain medication Resident 6 was prescribed was a common pain reliever and should have been available in the Omnicell. In an interview with Staff 2 (Director of Nursing) on 6/16/22 at 1:56 PM, she stated the medication should have been dispensed from the Omnicell if the prescription was not filled.
