Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, resident and family interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide a safe, clean,
comfortable, and homelike environment for 3 of 10 residents reviewed. The findings include:
On 12/2/25 at approximately 12:00 pm, tour of the facility was conducted on the 100/200/300 halls. Upon
entry to the unit, by the nurse station, a strong odor of urine permeated throughout the hallways. Again, on
the same day at approximately 3:00 pm, the strong odor continued throughout the halls. On 12/3/25 at
approximately 10:00 am, a second tour of the 100/200/300 halls revealed the strong odor of urine still
existed.
On 12-3-25 at 11:06 am, an interview with Resident #9's family member revealed Last week at 10:30 am,
the hall was a mess I found him filthy, dirty, and soaking wet. She stated hospice is now coming for him 3
times a week. When hospice aides come and bathe him, they call and say they found him in a mess. The
family member stated she is at the facility at least 4 times per week and there is always a bad smell of urine
on the halls. She stated , That smell is probably because the staff strip the beds and leave all the
sheets/linens at the foot of the bed, then they come back after doing all the other beds and pick/bag up the
clothes, leaving them there stinking for an extended period of time.
Resident #6
On 12-2-25 at 12:07 pm an interview with Resident #6 revealed she has had cockroaches in her room. She
stated her daughter purchased a glue pad because the facility is not doing anything about the problem. An
observation of the floor under the air conditioner (AC) revealed a glue pad that had several cockroaches
and a very small roach running on the floor along side the glue pad. (Photographic evidence obtained) A
second observation of the resident's room was conducted on 12-3-25 at 10:00 am and revealed the glue
pad contained more roaches.
On 12-5-25 at 11:19 am an interview with the Maintenance Director revealed that he recently had the pest
control change from spray to dust in order to address the roach problem. He also stated they bought the
glue strips and placed them in resident rooms under the AC unit. When asked why there are so many live
roaches, he really did not have an explanation. At this time, he confirmed the pest control has not been
effective.
Review of the pest control invoices revealed monthly services on site 2x per month for resident rooms per
request/pest sighting logbook. Monthly service also performed for common areas, kitchens/dining areas,
housekeeping/laundry, activity/therapy rooms, dry food storage, courtyard, dumpster area, EXT perimeter.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based upon Interviews, observations, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure and provide
routine medications to residents in a timely manner. The facility failed to ensure the controlled drug records
are in order, signed out appropriately by administering staff nurses and that all controlled medications are
accounted for. While conducting observations of medication carts on 12/2/25 at approximately 3:15 pm,
Nurse E opened up the narcotic medication drawer and removed 5-7 narcotic cards. A small white tablet
was noted in the bottom of the drawer. She then stated the medication count sheet was blank. But she
signed it out because she was told to do that today for the other nurse. On 12/2/25 an interview was
conducted with Resident 12 at 08:00 pm, she stated that over the weekend she had to go without her pain
medication. She stated was told by a nurse that she forgot to send in a script to the pharmacy for her pain
medication. she said, This morning, I asked for a pain pill at 5:00 am and I didn't get it until 6:30 am.Upon
review of Resident #12's medication administration record on 12/3/25, it revealed that she only received
Tylenol for pain medication from 11/30/25 through 12/1/25. The facility medication administration
policystates, .medications are administered in a safe and timely manner. Medications are administered in
accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame. Medication errors are documented,
reported, and reviewed by the QAPI committee to inform process changes and the need for additional
training. The individual administering the medication initials the resident's MAR on the appropriate line after
giving each medication and before administering the next ones.An interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) was conducted on 12/3/25 at 10:00 am. The DON stated she started a program improvement plan
for narcotic controlled substances due to a residents' medication card prescription label was marked out
and someone wrote in 10 mg. She stated it was brought to her attention that one the medication cards was
labeled wrong, so I initiated a plan of correction for it. She stated a medication prescription label on a
narcotic card for Resident #11 regarding her oxycontin 5 mg was marked out / crossed out and someone
wrote above 10 mg. She started education with all nurses on the controlled substance process. When
asked DON to explain the process for removing controlled substance / narcotic medication from the
medication carts once a resident was discharged from the facility, she explained that she goes to each unit
every other week and checks the narcotics, removes the narcotic count sheet for that medication and the
narcotic medication, reviews it with the nurse assigned to the cart that day and ensures the count is correct,
her and the nurse sign off, then the narcotic medication is removed from that cart. She then scans the
medication to the pharmacy. When the consultant comes into visit, we destroy the medication per protocol.
She further stated that the nurses on the units are not allowed to remove any empty cards or discharged ,
discontinued medications from the medication carts due to a drug diversion that took place last year. When
asked if she does this on a weekly basis, she stated she did. When asked explain why there was 92
medications cards on the carts on the 600 units with 50-60 of those medications belonging to residents
who have been discharged from the facility over the last two months, she stated she had been out a few
days. When asked to explain the process for when a narcotic count is not correct, she stated the nurse is to
notify her immediately any time a count is not correct. Then she goes to that medication cart along with the
nurses and attempts to figure out the discrepancy. She was not aware of any issues. She continues to state
that nurses are not allowed to sign off narcotics for another nurse, that is against policy and regulations.
When presented with an incorrect medication narcotic count sheet, she could not explain what happened.

if she would ask a nurse to sign off a medication that was given and that she forgot to sign off, she replied
that it is not allowed. Upon showing Nurse B a copy of the narcotic count sheet for Resident #11 and asked
if she was familiar with Resident #11 and if she administered medications to Resident 11 on 12/1/25, she

stated, I don't know whose signature that is below it. I know I gave her another pill that afternoon, but that is
not my signature. Staff Nurse B then stated she did get a phone call yesterday from Staff Nurse C about a
medication not being signed off. I told her to sign it off and I would come over the unit later on to sign and
verify that I gave the medication. When asked if she went to the unit to verify later in the shift, she replied,
no.An interview was conducted with Staff Nurse C on 12/3/25 at 4:00 pm. When asked if she recalls an
issue with the medication count that occurred on 12/1/25, she stated yes, I got to work and went over to my
assigned unit and counted my cart, but the other nurse hadn't made it in to work yet. A little while later Staff
Nurse E came to me and said the count was off on the cart. I went over to the cart and looked at what she
was telling me. I called Nurse B who was working and asked if she had given a pill to resident and forgot to
sign it out. She said yes, I probably did and asked me to sign the medication out for her and she would
come over later to sign it. I signed out that the medication was given on 12/1/25 at 3:00 pm. Review of
pharmacy consultant reports for the last 3 months on 12/4/25 shows no issues related to the medication
carts upon inspection and no issues with controlled substances logs.
