The facility failed to notify Resident 1's physician when Resident 1 had been refusing to take Depakote (medication used to treat including mental and mood conditions).

The care plan goal indicated Resident 1 will not have side effects from the medication for three months. Interventions included assess daily for behavior manifested, notify the physician if the medication can be reduced, monitor the behavior and report monthly to the physician/psychiatrist to assist to assure lowest possible therapeutic dose.During a review of the Minimum data set (MDS, resident assessment tool) dated 11/4/25 indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact. Resident 1 needed set-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up, resident completes activity) with activities of daily living (ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily).During a review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) dated 1/26 indicated Resident 1 refused to take the Depakote 125 mg. orally the following dates and time.1/1/26 refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/2/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/3/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/4/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/5/26 - refused 9 a.m.1/6/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/7/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/8/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/9/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/10/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/11/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/12/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/13/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/14/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/15/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/16/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/17/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/18/26 refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/19/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/20/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/21/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.1/22/26 - refused at 9 a.m.1/24/26 to 1/30/26 - refused at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. During a review of the Change of Condition dated 1/30/26 at 1:51 p.m., indicated Resident 1 continued to refuse taking her medications, including laboratory tests. The COC indicated Resident 1's primary physician was notified.
