**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, record and policy review, the facility failed to ensure grievances were promptly addressed and
resolved to ensure complainant's satisfaction for one (#7) of seven residents reviewed.
Findings included:
Review of the facility's Grievance/Concern Logs for March and April 2025 revealed a grievance was filed by
Resident #7's family member on 3/28/25. The log showed the concern was resolved on 3/30/25.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the Risk Management Consultant (RMC) on
5/27/25 at 2:17 p.m. revealed, Resident's bottom dentures are missing. Reviewing the grievance, the NHA
stated the concern was described as Concerns because [Resident #7's] bottom dentures are missing.
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) states that they were on side table this morning when she fed him. The
facility did not designate an individual or department to handle this grievance/concern, writing looking for
dentures. Staff spoke to staff (crossed out) stated they placed them in a paper towel. Laundry searched has
not been found. No results to this action were documented. The grievance form showed the grievance did
not have a conclusion/summary of findings, and did not show the grievance/concern was resolved to
resident/reporter's satisfaction and was documented Resident in hospital. Social Service Director (SSD)
spoke with family - they will locate invoice for reimbursement. Review further showed, one-to-one
discussion with [family member] was used to notify the representative of the resolution. The grievance was
signed by the SSD and previous NHA. The NHA reported staff had placed the dentures on the side table,
the facility had contacted the family taking responsibility of the loss and the family was to have the resident
see someone and provide the facility with an invoice for the previously purchased dentures for
reimbursement and it has not happened. The NHA stated the Social Service Director had spoken with the
family member. The RMC stated all the facility was waiting for was an invoice for reimbursement. The NHA
stated per [family member] on 4/4/25 (another grievance filed by family) the [family member] was to check
the invoice status, the family was to take resident to get replacement and submit invoice for payment, and
the grievance was marked resolved. The NHA stated the facility had followed up with the family since
4/10/25 and would check with the Business Office Manager (BOM) who was working with the family.
Review of the investigation statement written by Staff C, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), on 4/2/25 at
5:11 p.m., (2 days after log showed grievance was resolved) revealed Resident #7 was observed moving
them up and down, Staff C had removed them and placed on side table before leaving. The statement
revealed the nurse and housekeeper were in the room and later Staff C was asked about teeth and
confirmed along with the nurse that they were where the staff member had left them on the table.

Based on observation, interviews and record review, the facility failed to have pain medication available per
physician orders for one resident (#5) out of three residents sampled.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Included:
On 5/27/2025 at 1:49 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident #5 with Staff A, Registered Dietician,
for interpretation. Resident #5 stated getting her pain medication was an issue the last month and stated
she went without getting her pain medication.
A record review of Resident #5's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of April 2025
showed a missed dose of Oxycodone HCL oral tablet 10 milligrams (mg) by mouth one time a day for nonacute pain on 4/26/2025.
A record review of Resident #5's admission Record showed an original admit date of 02/14/2024 with a
readmission date of 5/01/2025 with diagnoses included but not limited to spinal stenosis cervical region,
neuralgia and neuritis unspecified, monoarthritis not elsewhere classified unspecified site and pain
unspecified.
A record review of Resident #5's Controlled Drug Declining Inventory Sheet with a 4/16/2025 received date
showed on 4/25/2025 the count for oxycodone HCL (IR)10 mg (milligram) was zero.
A review of a copy of the latest original prescription for Resident #5 for Oxycodone HCL oral tablet 10 mg to
give one tablet by mouth one time a day for non-acute pain had an order date of 4/25/2025.
On 5/27/2025 at 11:54 a.m. an interview was conducted with Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse/Unit
Manager (LPN/UM). Staff H, LPN/UM stated the facility has one automated medication dispense machine
available for medications used for emergencies. When asked if Oxycodone was available in the medication
dispense machine, Staff H, LPN/UM stated there was an inventory sheet on the side of the machine. Upon
entrance into the medication room with Staff H, an inventory sheet was not available. Staff H stated the
process to pull narcotics for new admits is not the same for existing residents because the resident already
has an existing prescription filled by the pharmacist. Staff H stated only when all the refills have been used
up for the original prescription and the narcotic is not available for the resident in the medication cart, can
the nurse call the ordering physician to obtain an order, confirm with the pharmacist, obtain an access code
from pharmacy to then pull the narcotic from the medication dispense machine. Staff H stated the nurse
can request to the pharmacy services a refill request for any medication through the electronic chart when
a medication is low. Staff H stated, if the narcotic is getting low, the nurse should put the request in early to
allow time for pharmacy to deliver the medication. Staff H stated the pharmacy will come for deliveries at
least once a day but maybe twice a day, I'm not sure. Staff H stated if the medication is needed as a STAT
(meaning immediately), the pharmacy will deliver within two to four hours. Staff H, stated if the medication
was not ordered in time,we can get it from the medication dispensing machine, but it would have to be a
different order and as a one-time order.
On 5/27/2025 at 3:17 p.m., a telephone interview was conducted with a representative from the pharmacy.
The pharmacy representative stated a prescription for Oxycodone 10 mg was placed on the morning of
4/26/2025 for Resident #5 with the prescription manually faxed over. The pharmacist

representative stated the medication was delivered after 7:30 p.m. The pharmacist representative stated the
nurse could have obtained a code from the pharmacist to obtain the missing narcotic and stated, I don't
know what is in their inventory but if the medication is there, they can pull the medication.
On 5/28/2025 at 9:50 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON
stated the only time a narcotic can be pulled for a long-term resident in the medication dispense machine
would be if the prescription were to be new, or the physician either called the medication to the pharmacist
or the prescription was faxed over to the pharmacy. The DON stated the expectation would be for the nurse
to contact pharmacy when the medication is low. The DON stated nurses should re-order refill prescription
when the count of the narcotic gets to a count of ten pills remaining. The DON stated there is a warning on
the medication card when the prescription should be reordered to avoid running out of the medication.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Physician Orders with an effective date of 10/ 2021showed the
following policy statement: At the time each resident is admitted , the facility will have physician orders for
their immediate care. Physician orders will be dated and signed at the next physician visit. Nurses,
therapists and pharmacists may take verbal and/or telephone orders as permitted by their state licensure
board.

(ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are resistant to common antibiotics and may require complex
treatments and good infection prevention practices can help reduce infection risk. ESBL- producing
Enterobacterales can spread through dirty hands and surfaces from person to person.
Review of the policy and procedure - Barrier Precautions, effective April 2024, described the following:
Residents Affected - Some
- Contact Precautions are used when the employee expects to be in direct or indirect contact with a patient
in/ or his or her environment including the person's room or objects in contact with the person, that has an
infection with an Organism transmitted fecal-orally, such as Clostridium difficile, or wound and skin
infections, or multi-drug resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
PPE required before entering a contact precaution designated rim is always gloves and a gown. Mask and
eye protection are additionally required of contact with bodily secretions is possible.
- Enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) refers to an infection control intervention designed to reduce
transmission or multi-drug resistant organisms that employ targeted gown and glove use during high
contact resident activities. EBP Are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of
PPE to donning of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities
for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. EBP Is indicated for residents with any of the following:
-1. Infection or colonization with a Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)- targeted multi-drug
resistant Organism when contact precautions do not otherwise apply or,
-2. Wounds and/ or indwelling medical and devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or
colonized with a multi-drug resistant Organism.
Based on observations, interviews and record review, the facility did not ensure appropriate isolation
precautions were initiated for two residents ( #10 and #9 ) of three residents sampled and failed to ensure
personal protective equipment (PPE) was supplied for residents on isolation precautions for five rooms
(101,409, 413, 408 and 305) out of twenty rooms observed.
On 5/27/2025 at 8:32 a.m., an observation was made in front of room [ROOM NUMBER] with a blue sign

(PICC) line. Staff B stated the PPE was located behind the door inside the residents' room. Staff B stated
any resident with wounds, catheters, central lines, dialysis and catheters are placed on Contact Isolation.
The Contact Isolation sign was read out loud to Staff B related to wearing gown and gloves before entering
the room and the sign indicated the resident in the A bed was on Contact Isolation. Staff B, LPN stated the
resident in the B bed was on the Contact Isolation for the PICC line.
On 5/27/2025 at 9:04 a.m., an observation was made of Resident #10 with a blue Enhanced Barrier

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure their pest control program
was effective during two (05/27/2025 and 05/28/2025) of two days of survey.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
During multiple facility tours on 05/27/2025 and 05/28/2025, observations were made of live insects in the
dining hall/activity's area in 400 and 100 halls as follows:
On 05/27/2025 at 06:30 a.m., a live insect was observed in the 400-hall, near the conference room. The
insect was live and crawling across the floor.
On 05/27/2025, at 06:48 a.m. live insects were observed in the dining hall/activity area. The insects were
small flying insects observed landing on surfaces around the dining area. During this observation residents
were observed in the area.
On 05/28/2025 at 09:25 a.m. a live insect was observed near the 100-hall of the facility. The insect was
observed crawling. There were various levels of staff near the area at the time.
On 05/28/2025 at 02:29 p. m. an interview was conducted with a resident in room [ROOM NUMBER].
The resident stated there were roaches in their room and staff was notified. The resident could not recall
who was notified, nor the day the report was made. The resident reported the drawers were cleaned out
and everything was sprayed but there were still roaches in the room.
Review of facility documents titled Service Inspection Reports (invoices) showed pest sightings were
documented with on-going treatments for flies, rats, ants, and roaches.
On 05/28/2025 at 03:10 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Maintenance (DOM). He
stated there were no roaches, however, there are similar bugs (a named Florida bug). He stated they
typically come after the rain. He stated it was a Florida thing, and that there isn't much that can be done
about it. He stated a pest control vendor does treat the bugs. He stated he was not aware of any complaints
in regarding to pests in the building.
During an interview on 05/28/2025 at 11:47a.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) stated he took
care of the roach that was found this morning in the common area. He stated he called the Pest control
company, and they will be out tomorrow. He stated Pest control was just here on Monday, and they come
out weekly. He stated if he had an emergency that took place and needed pest control to come out he
would call. The NHA sated he does not call pest control for single incidents. The NHA confirmed they have
had roaches since he started in May.
Review of a facility policy titled Pest/Insect Control, effective August 2024 showed the facility strives to
protect residents, staff, and visitors from insects and other pest by controlling infestation through contracts
with outside pest control agencies. Each facility will contract with a pest control agency.
