F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement resident-directed care and treatment consistent with the resident's physician orders for 1 out of 2 residents, (#164), failed to ensure medications were administered and provided per physician orders to prevent missed doses in accordance with professional standards of practice for 1 of 1 residents, (#99), reviewed for quality of care, out of a total sample of 55 residents. Residents Affected - Few Resident #99, a [AGE] year-old male, was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an acute care hospital with diagnoses that included acute transverse myelitis in demyelinating disease of central nervous system, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depression.

He had no rejection of care behavior and received scheduled pain medications for occasional pain that affected his sleep and daily activities. He required partial to moderate assistance for Activities of Daily Living and utilized a wheelchair for mobility. On 11/17/25 at 12:28 PM, resident #99 said he was concerned about missing some doses of a new medication, Gabapentin, that had just been prescribed for pain on 11/14/25. He said the medication was prescribed to be given three times per day and he had last received it on 11/16/25 at around lunch time. He explained that on 11/15/25 he received his first three doses and then on 11/16/25, after his second dose, the nurse told him he had run out of the medication. He was not sure if the nurse had reordered the medication, but he said he never received his third dose that night. He said he received his morning medications, but the Gabapentin had not been included, and he knew what it looked like. According to WebMD, Gabapentin was commonly used to treat and prevent seizures in people with epilepsy, but it was also prescribed to treat nerve pain or neuralgia. (https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-14208-8217/gabapentin-oral/gabapentin-oral/details; retrieved 11/25/25). Resident #99's progress notes revealed he was seen by the Nurse Practitioner on 11/14/25 and she noted he had complained of difficulty ambulating and was compliant with his medications. She ordered Gabapentin to be started on that day for nerve pain. A nursing note entered on 11/16/25 at 4:42 PM, by Registered Nurse (RN) L noted Gabapentin was on order from the pharmacy. Review of resident #99's medication orders, revealed an order dated 11/15/25 for Gabapentin 100 milligram (mg) tablets three times per day for pain related to myelitis. Further review of the Medication Administration Record for November 2025 revealed the following: on 11/15/25 he received three doses of Gabapentin, 11/16/25 he received two doses, but the third dose was documented as refused, and 11/17/25 the nurse documented he had received the morning dose. On 11/17/25 at 11:54 AM, the resident's assigned nurse, Registered Nurse (RN) M said resident #99 had received his morning dose of Gabapentin but would not be receiving the second dose because he had run out of it. She stated that the blister pack only had one pill left but was unable to show me the empty pack because she had discarded it already. She noted that he would miss his second dose of the medication because she was unsure when the pharmacy would deliver the medication. She was asked if the facility had a medication dispensing system (Pyxis) where they kept extra medication and she said they did but it mostly had narcotics. She confirmed she had not asked her supervisor or Director (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105861 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 20 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105861 B.

At 1:27 PM she stated she was able to take the Gabapentin out of the Pyxis machine and administered it to resident #99. She said she was not aware that this medication was kept in the Pyxis. On 11/17/25 at 1:30 PM, resident #99 confirmed he received his second dose of the Gabapentin and reiterated that he absolutely did not receive his morning dose. On 11/19/25 at 12:47 PM, a phone interview with RN J revealed that he had been the nurse assigned to resident #99 on 11/15/25. He stated that he worked a double shift on 11/15/25 from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM and had noticed there was a new prescription for Gabapentin three times per day for resident #99. He explained there was a full blister pack of the medication, which was usually 25 tablets and had administered all three doses to the resident during his shift. He said there was still medication left when he left that night. RN J stated that in the event a resident ran out a medication he would check the Pyxis to see if the medication was available to prevent the resident from missing a dose until the pharmacy delivered the medication but if it was not available in the Pyxis, he would let the doctor know and document in the resident's medical record. On 11/19/25 at 1:29 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) K said in a phone interview that he worked with resident #99 on 11/16/25 during the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift. He confirmed there was enough Gabapentin for resident #99 and he administered both doses during his shift. He said he did not recall the medication being low after he administered the second dose. He stated the pharmacy usually sent a full blister pack of medications that were to be given routinely but, in the event, a medication was missing, he would check the Pyxis to see if it was available until the pharmacy delivered to prevent the resident from missing a dose. On 11/19/25 at 3:00 PM, RN L said in a phone interview that she had worked at the facility for over two years. She confirmed she worked on 11/16/25 from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM and was assigned resident #99. She said that when she went to administer his evening medications, she noticed that he had run out of the Gabapentin but had not been told by the previous nurse during report. She asked the resident if he was aware that he had no more medication, and she alleged he told her that the first shift nurse had told him he would not have any more medication after his second dose and that it needed to be reordered. RN L said she put in an order with the pharmacy and documented in the resident's chart that the medication was on order but did not mean to document that the resident refused the medication in the medication administration record. She did not attempt to get the medication from Pyxis because she had forgotten her code and did not let a supervisor know. She agreed that she should have let a supervisor know but she was being, lazy and said she did not usually work on that unit, so she did not know the resident well. When asked if she believed it was appropriate to not give medication when it was available to give, she said no and that she should have either attempted to get it from Pyxis or alerted the doctor about the missed dose and documented it in the resident's record. On 11/20/25 at 11:52 AM, during a phone interview with the facility's pharmacy provider, it was revealed that they delivered medications to the facility several times a day. He confirmed that the first time Gabapentin had been delivered to the facility for resident #99 was on 11/18/25 at 5:21 AM, and said there had been no prior deliveries of this medication prior to that date. Review of pharmacy invoices from 11/1/25 through 11/20/25, revealed there had been no deliveries of Gabapentin for resident #99 prior to 11/18/25.

He was told that the pharmacy had no record of delivering Gabapentin for resident #99 until 11/18/25 and there was no evidence that the staff was taking the medication from Pyxis prior to 11/17/25. He said he was unsure where the nurses were getting Gabapentin from and said it was not common practice for staff to take medications from other residents. He clarified that the pharmacy never sent more than seven tablets of medication and that it needed to be reordered weekly. He confirmed that all nurses had access to Pyxis and there was no code to enter because it was set up with their fingerprint. He said nurses were given access to Pyxis during orientation and they were told which medications were available but could ask a supervisor if they did not know. He expected staff to follow up with the pharmacy to ensure the medication would be delivered and if it was not delivered on time and it was not in the Pyxis, they needed to let the doctor know about the missed dose as well as document in the resident's medical record. Residents Affected - Few Resident #164 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, nicotine dependence, uncomplicated dependence on supplemental oxygen and chronic pain syndrome.

She acknowledged the progress note written on 11/17/25 contained inaccurate details regarding the dressing observation and change documented as completed as 11:19 AM. She stated after obtaining the dressing order, she believed a previous order had fallen off and did not recall checking whether an earlier order existed. She explained during review of the hospital discharge packet, they would have seen resident #52 had a PICC line and, if orders were not present, the physician would have been contacted for IV line care orders. Review of the facility's PICC/Midline/CVAD Dressing Change policy revised on 3/01/25 revealed PICC dressings were to be changed weekly or when soiled to decrease the risk of infection and cross-contamination. The policy specified physician orders would include the type of dressing and frequency of changes, and completion of the procedure would be documented.Review of the facility's Intravenous Therapy policy revised on 3/01/25 revealed the intent for staff to adhere to accepted standards of practice regarding infusion practices.

On 11/20/25 at 10:08 AM, interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) confirmed that one aspect of her job was to track and monitor antibiotic use throughout the building. The IP stated she did not realize the residents did not receive a full course of their antibiotics and had missed doses. She stated that she had oversight from the Director of Nursing (DON) and he never made her aware of the missed medications. On 11/20/25 at 10:21 AM, interview with the DON revealed they did not review missed medications during their daily morning meetings. His expectation was for the IP to track and monitor all the antibiotics in the building which included making sure the residents received full course of the antibiotics. He explained his expectation for when a resident's medication was unavailable was for the nurses to first check for the medication in the emergency medication supply and then notify the physician if the medication was still unavailable. He acknowledged that resident #21, #81 and #117 had missed doses of antibiotics and there was no documentation on those dates that the physician was notified. The facility's Infection control prevention and control policy revised 2/1/25 noted antibiotic use protocols and a system to monitor antibiotic use will be implemented as part of the antibiotic stewardship program. The infection preventionist with oversight from the DON serves as the leader of the antibiotic stewardship program. 2. On 11/20/25 at 2:31 PM, a laundry room tour was conducted with Laundry Aide O. It was observed that the laundry room had two doors. There was an open door where laundry staff was observed folding clean laundry and a closed door directly to the right that was unlabeled and had laundry bins blocking the entrance. Laundry Aide O identified the closed door as the dirty room. Upon entering the room, two carts with linen and gowns were noted. Laundry aide O was unable to provide an explanation as to why these carts with clean linen and gowns were stored in the dirty area. The Laundry Aide stated that this was the way they always did it. The room had no space for staff to sort dirty laundry or linen and some of the laundry aprons that were hanging in the room were in disrepair. Laundry aide O agreed that clean and dirty laundry should remain separate from each other to prevent cross contamination.

She did not know dirty laundry had to be processed in a separate dirty room. She said the dirty room was used to store clean linen carts because they were lacking storage. She believed that because the linens were in bags, they were fine being kept in the dirty area. On 11/20/25 at 2:40 PM, the Maintenance Director said he was previously in charge of running the laundry department and had mentioned to staff they could not keep the clean linens in the dirty room because it was an infection control issue.
