Based on observation, interview and record review, for two of two sampled residents who received dialysis (Resident 1 and Resident 2), the facility failed to ensure routine medications were available for administration. This failure had the potential to result in medical complications not limited to elevated phosphorus, cholesterol, and worsening of symptoms. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in January 2024 with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (ESRD, the final stage of long-term kidney disease when the kidneys are no longer sufficiently able to remove waste products and excess water to support the body's needs), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol levels in the blood), and gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis (a digestive disorder where the stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort). During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR) as of 7/31/25, the OSR indicated the following physician's orders:a. Atorvastatin Calcium 40 milligrams (mg) oral tablet: one tablet by mouth at bedtime for hyperlipidemia.b. Famotidine 10 mg one tablet by mouth as needed (Used to treat heartburn caused by acid indigestion).c. Nephro-Vite Rx oral tablet 1 mg (B complex with C and Folic Acid): one tablet by mouth at bedtime.d.

LVN 1 also stated regular multivitamins were used instead of Nephro-Vite Rx as both are over the counter. LVN 1 also stated, LVN1 used Sevelamer HCL 800 mg meant for Resident 4 (already discharged ) and administered metoclopramide 5 mg in place of the prescribed 10 mg for Resident 1. During a review of Resident 2's AR, the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in October 2021 with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease and chronic pain syndrome.
