Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from neglect by failing
to verify the identity, credentials, and licensure of individual prior to employment as a Licensed Practical
Nurse, (LPN) providing care to 68 residents using a sample of 30 residents of a total of 117 residents in the
facility, (#1 to #30).
The unlicensed staff, Employee A to worked in the capacity of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) starting on
02/07/2023 at the facility. The facility failed to validate information and documents presented, and Employee
A who was not a licensed nurse worked as a LPN for 16 shifts at the facility from 2/07/23 to 3/07/23.
Employee A was assigned to care for 68 residents including administering oral, optic (relating to eyes),
inhalation, subcutaneous (beneath the skin), and gastrostomy (an opening into the stomach from the
abdominal wall, made surgically for the introduction of food) tube medications. Employee A provided insulin
injections, blood glucose monitoring, performed wound care, respiratory care, monitored midline
intravenous (IV) catheters, and completed nursing assessments.
The facility failed to verify the education, training, and validation of nursing licensure for Employee A which
allowed Employee A to perform the duties of a nurse without the assurance of safe, professional and ethical
practice and accountability of a nursing license, which placed 68 residents under her care at likelihood of
serious injury, harm or death due to possible medication and treatment errors and incorrect interpretation of
laboratory tests. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy starting on 02/07/2023. The Immediate Jeopardy was
removed on 03/07/2023. The facility's noncompliance at F600 was corrected on 05/08/2023 and
determined to be past noncompliance.
Findings:
Cross reference F607, and F835
Review of Employee A's Employment Application form revealed an application for employment at the facility
was completed on 12/22/22. A professional license was verified by the facility via the Florida Department of
Health License Verification website, using the license number provided by Employee A on her application.
Data as of 12/22/2022 indicated the license was for a LPN, and was originally issued on 10/24/14, with
expiration date of 7/31/23. The license status was documented to be clear and active.

on 12/28/22. The Business Office Manager/ HR Director recalled that Employee A stated she could not
start at that time since she had another job, and her background was run again on 1/17/23. She explained
that it was the practice of the facility to resubmit the request for background screen, so that if something
comes up, AHCA (Background Screening Clearinghouse) would catch it. The Business Office Manager/HR
Director stated Employee A was eligible to work on 1/26/23, and her first day of work at the facility was on
2/07/23. The Business Office Manager/HR Director stated that when she ran the professional license, using
the license number provided by Employee A nothing flagged indicating the license was clear and active.

Office Manager/ HR Director recalled the name on the professional license and Employee A's driver's
license were different, the first names were spelt differently, and there were different middle names. She
stated she did not compare the names on the professional license and the driver's license and did not ask
Employee A about the different spelling of the names. The Business Office Manager/HR Director stated she

them thoroughly for accuracy

fundamentals of nursing. The DON stated she reviewed Employee A's application, discussed her schooling,
but never reviewed her license/certificate or asked for a transcript. She stated her level II background
screen had to be cleared before she could start working, and she started orientation on 2/07/23 with mostly
observation. On 2/09/23 she had an assignment with oversight from a preceptor, and on 2/14/23, Employee
A was on a medication cart by herself. The DON verbalized that no one picked up the discrepancy with the
names on Employee A's driver's license, SS card, and the LPN license. She confirmed employee A
administered medications via gastrostomy tube, maintained gastrostomy tube feeding, administered insulin
injections and other oral and optic medications.
On 5/25/23 at 11:24 AM, the Administrator stated Employee A was already hired at the facility when she
started, and she recalled she was made aware of the issues with the Employee's license when the
detective notified the facility on 5/03/23. The Administrator said Employee A was already terminated due to
absenteeism, and being late frequently. She stated the facility did not verify the spelling of the names on the
documents provided by Employee A.

the facility as a LPN without a license when he attended a meeting with the Administrator, Regional
Consultant Nurse, and the DON on 05/03/2023. He stated he was shocked, and was concerned if any
resident was harmed. He said he was pleased the facility had assessed the residents by doing clinical
reviews of records and interviews and also reviewing all transfers to the hospital that identified there was no
harm done to the residents. The Medical Director stated he attended the Ad Hoc Quality Assurance
Performance Improvement (QAPI) and agreed with steps taken to address the issue. He stated nurses
usually paged him on his paging service, but he had no recollection of having any interaction with
Employee A.
5/26/23 at 3:50 PM, the Administrator, and the Regional Nurse Consultant stated the facility did not have a
policy regarding the hiring process, but followed the State guidelines, and the facility's policy and procedure

Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement policies and procedures to prevent medical
neglect by failing to verify identification, and licensure of Employee A prior to employment as a Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN)providing care and services to 68 residents during 16 shifts using a sample of 30
residents of a total of 117 residents in the facility, (#1 to #30).
Residents Affected - Some
The unlicensed staff, Employee A worked in the capacity of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) starting on
02/07/2023 at the facility. The facility failed to validate information and documents presented, and Employee
A who was not a licensed nurse worked as a LPN for 16 shifts at the facility from 2/07/23 to 3/07/23.
Employee A was assigned to care for 68 residents including administering oral, optic (related to eyes),
inhalation, subcutaneous (beneath the skin), and gastrostomy (an opening into the stomach from the
abdominal wall, made surgically for the introduction of food) tube medications. Employee A provided insulin
injections, blood glucose monitoring, performed wound care, respiratory care, monitored midline
intravenous (IV) catheters, and completed nursing assessments. The facility failed to implement policies
and procedures for verification of identification, and licensure for nursing staff prior to performing nursing
duties which allowed Employee A to perform the duties of a nurse without the assurance of safe,
professional and ethical practice and accountability of a nursing license, and placed 68 residents under her
care at a likelihood of serious, injury, harm or death due to possible medication and treatment errors and
incorrect interpretation of laboratory tests.
This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy starting on 2/07/23. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
03/07/2023.
The facility's noncompliance at F607 was corrected on 05/08/2023 and determined to be past
noncompliance.
Findings
Cross reference F600 and F835

was completed on 12/22/22. A professional license was verified by the facility via the Florida Department of
Health License Verification website, using the license number provided by Employee A on her application.
Data as of 12/22/2022 indicated the license was for an LPN, and was originally issued on 10/24/14, with an
expiration date of 7/31/23. The license status was documented to be clear and active.
The Agency for Health Care Administration Care Provider Background Screening Clearing House (the state
agency process for background screening results for health care providers in Florida currently licensed by
the Agency for Health Care Administration) website page) Person Profile showed Employee A was
determined to be eligible for employment on, 12/22/22, and on 1/26/23. The name on the Background
Screening Clearinghouse results webpage was spelled differently from the name on the professional
license, and the middle initial/names were different. Employee A was employed at the facility from 2/07/23
to 3/07/23, and worked a total of sixteen shifts, beginning with orientation on 2/07/23 on the 3 PM to 11 PM
shift. Review of the facility's staff schedules for the period 2/07/23 to 3/07/23, revealed Employee A worked
the following shifts, 3 PM to 11 PM, on 2/09/23, and 2/14/23, from 2:45 PM to 11:15 PM on 2/18/23,

Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility's administration failed to use its resources effectively to ensure
policies and procedures were implemented to prevent medical neglect placing 68 residents in the facility at
risk by not verifying identification and licensure of an individual prior to employment as a Licensed Practical
Nurse (Employee A) assigned to provide nursing care and services for 68 residents on 16 shifts while
working in the capacity of a LPN without a valid license.
Residents Affected - Some
The unlicensed staff, Employee A worked in the capacity of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) starting on
02/07/2023 at the facility. The facility failed to validate information and documents presented, and Employee
A who was not a licensed nurse, worked as a LPN for 16 shifts at the facility from 2/07/23 to 3/07/23.
Employee A was assigned to care for 68 residents including administering oral, optic (relating to eyes),
inhalation, subcutaneous (beneath the skin), and gastrostomy (an opening into the stomach from the
abdominal wall, made surgically for the introduction of food) tube medications. Employee A provided insulin
injections, blood glucose monitoring, performed wound care, respiratory care, monitored midline
intravenous (IV) catheters, and completed nursing assessments. The facility failed to verify the education,
training, and validation of nursing licensure for Employee A, which allowed Employee A to perform the
duties of a nurse, without the assurance of safe, professional and ethical practice and accountability of a
nursing license, which placed the 68 residents under her care at a likelihood of serious injury, harm, or
death.
The facility administration's failure to use its resources effectively to ensure policies and procedures were
implemented to prevent medical neglect resulted in Immediate Jeopardy starting on 2/07/23. The
Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 03/07/2023.
The facility's noncompliance at F835 was corrected on 05/08/2023 and determined to be past
noncompliance.
Findings
Cross reference F600, F607
Employee A was employed at the facility from 2/07/23 to 3/07/23, and worked a total of sixteen shifts,
beginning with orientation on 2/07/23 on the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. Review of the facility staff schedule for the
period 2/07/23 to 3/07/23, revealed Employee A worked the following shifts, 3 PM to 11 PM, on 2/09/23,
and 2/14/23, from 2:45 PM to 11:15 PM on 2/18/23, 3/04/23, and 3/06/23. Employee A did double shifts
from 2:45 PM to 11:15 PM, and 10:45 PM to 7:15 AM on 2/19/23, 2/20/23, 2/25/23, 2/26/23, and on
3/05/23, and provided care and services for sixty-eight residents in the capacity of a licensed nurse while
not having a valid Florida nursing license.
On 5/10/23 at 10:49 AM, and on 5/25/23 at 9:56 AM, the Business Office Manager/ Human Resources
(HR) Director stated the process for new hires, included a completed application, and an interview with the
Director of Nursing (DON). She stated that if the applicant was approved, HR would do a license verification
through the Florida Department of Health (the Florida state agency responsible for regulation of licensed
health care practitioners), and the Agency For Healthcare Administration (AHCA) Level II background
screening and would conduct a search via the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to ensure the
prospective employee was eligible to work. The Business Office Manager/HR Director

stated Employee A completed her application to the facility on [DATE]. She said the results of her fingerprint
and background screening were received on 12/28/22, and Employee A started orientation at the facility on
2/07/23. The Business Office Manager/HR Director explained that when she verified the professional
license, using the license number provided by Employee A, nothing flagged, which indicated the license
was clear and active. She recalled she also checked Employee A's Social Security (SS) card and recalled
the name on the professional license and Employee A's driver's license were spelled differently, and the
middle names/initials were different. She stated she did not compare the names on the professional license
and the driver's license and did not ask Employee A about the different spelling of the names. The Business
Office Manager/HR Director stated she did not notice the discrepancy then, and did not review all the
required documents thoroughly prior to the hiring of Employee A.
On 5/25/23 at 11:02 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she interviewed Employee A on 12/22/22.
She said Employee A had good customer service, was very knowledgeable, and showed knowledge
regarding the fundamentals of nursing. The DON recalled she reviewed Employee A's application,
discussed where she went to school, but never reviewed her license/certificate. She said no one picked up
on the discrepancy regarding the names on her driver's license, Social Security card, and the professional
license. The DON noted Employee A had two days of orientation, beginning on 2/07/23 with shadowing and
on 2/09/23 she was given an assignment with oversight from a preceptor. She said on 2/14/23, Employee A
was on a medication cart by herself. The DON confirmed Employee A administered medications via
gastrostomy tube, maintained gastrostomy tube feedings, and administered insulin injections and other oral
and optic medications during the period she worked at the facility.
On 5/25/23 at 11:24 AM, the Administrator stated employee A was already hired at the facility when she
started, and she recalled she was made aware of the issues with the employee's license when the
detective notified the facility on 5/03/23. The Administrator said employee A was already terminated due to
absenteeism, and being late frequently. She stated the facility did not verify the spelling of the names on the
documents provided by Employee A.

the facility as a LPN without a license when he attended a meeting with the Administrator, Regional
Consultant Nurse, and the DON on 05/03/2023. He stated he was shocked, and was concerned if any
resident was harmed. He said he was pleased the facility had assessed the residents by doing clinical
reviews of records and interviews and also reviewing all transfers to the hospital that identified there was no
harm done to the residents. The Medical Director stated he attended the Ad Hoc Quality Assurance
Performance Improvement (QAPI) and agreed with steps taken to address the issue. He stated nurses
usually paged him on his paging service, but he had no recollection of having any interaction with
Employee A.
Review of the job description for Administrator with revision date of 1/1/2015 revealed, the primary purpose
of the Administrator was to direct the day-to-day functions of the Facility in accordance with current federal,
