Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure an adequate
system to prevent the misappropriation/drug diversion of controlled medications for 4 (Residents #50, #89,
#13, and #20) of 31 residents sampled, with the potential to affect all residents prescribed controlled drugs.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings include:
1. During a tour of the facility on 9/25/23 at 3:25 pm, Resident #50 was observed resting in bed. There were
no signs or symptoms of pain or distress. When asked about his medication regimen, he said there was
some hanky panky going on with his medications. However, he was not able to provide full details of what
he meant by this and requested his wife be contacted for additional information on the matter.
On 9/25/23 at 3:36 pm, a phone interview was conducted with the wife of Resident #50. She stated that
after reviewing their insurance statements she noticed they were being charged for narcotic pain
medication which she knew he was not taking. She stated she contacted the facility regarding her
concerns. The facility responded and a urinalysis was requested. She stated the test confirmed the resident
had not been taking the narcotic pain medication. She stated the facility provided conflicting information as
to what happened to the medication. She stated she was advised the nurse whom she referred to as XXX
was terminated. She did not know his last name, but he had been the nurse for Resident #50 since
admission. She stated after the incident with the medication she became fearful of retaliation and therefore
had not addressed any of her concerns with the facility. She felt Resident #50 was being intentionally
neglected and would eventually be evicted if she voiced her concerns.
A clinical record review for Resident #50 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included unspecified atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory failure, heart failure,
hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, chronic kidney disease Stage 3b, end stage renal disease,
long term use of anticoagulants and generalized anxiety disorder. The significant change minimum data set
(MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score
of 14 out of 15, indicating cognitively intact.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #50 revealed an order on 8/16/22 for
Norco Tablet 5-325 milligrams (mg) (hydrocodone-acetaminophen) one tablet by mouth every six hours as
needed for severe pain. On 6/21/23 the orders was updated to include: SECOND NURSE MUST WITNESS
ADMINISTRATION OF CONTROLLED MEDS. Review of the May and June 2023 MAR revealed the
resident received the medication on 5/21/23, level 3 pain was documented. Review of the MAR for June 23
revealed the resident received the medication on 6/21/23 and 6/24/23, level 4 pain was documented.

Review of a physician's order for Resident #50 dated 6/26/23, read: Urine 14 panel drug screen one time
only for 2 days.
Residents Affected - Some
On 9/27/23 at 3:09 pm, an interview was conducted with Employee F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who
was familiar with Resident #50. She referred to him as max assist and stated he was incontinent of bladder
and bowel. She stated the resident complains of right hip pain and that he doesn't have feeling in his
fingers. She stated he does not refuse care or treatment. She stated Resident #50 gets out of bed but will
request to go lay back down as a result of the right hip pain. She stated he doesn't like to take the pain
medication because he doesn't want to get hooked on narcotics adding that the resident will ask for his
muscle spasm medication.
During an interview with the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/27/23 at 3:50 pm, she was
asked about Resident #50's pain medication regimen. The DON stated the resident would complain of pain
to the nurse so the nurse on duty would medicate him. She stated the resident didn't want to get addicted to
anything. The DON was asked to provide Resident #50's narcotic medication records for May and June.
On 9/28/23 at 11:02 am, the Administrator and DON provided narcotic medication records dated 5/30/2023
for Resident #50. Based on the information provided the medication was signed out as being administered
three times daily on 5/31/23, 6/1, 6/4/-6/5/, 6/8-6/10 and 6/14/23. The signature of the nurse administering
the medication was the same for all dates. When shown the MAR for this time period and asked about the
discrepancy between the two records for the same medication, the Administrator could not provide an
explanation. Instead, he provided a written statement from the facility's Unit Manager regarding the
negative results of the urinalysis on 6/26/23 for Resident #50. (Photographic evidence obtained) When
asked why a urinalysis had been ordered, the DON stated the wife had concerns the resident was not
receiving the medications. She stated the facility had the urinalysis done to prove that he was receiving the
medications. However, based on the information provided the resident was not receiving the medication.
She stated they contacted the lab regarding this and was advised the request needed to be more specific
to include the narcotic they were testing for in order for the proper test to be performed. When asked why
this information wasn't provided and the resident re-tested, she replied that two days had passed since the
resident had taken the medication and she didn't think it would still be in his system and show up on the
test.
On 9/28/23 at 11:36 am, the Administrator and DON provided a copy Resident #50's narcotic medication
record dated 6/11/23 along with the lab results for the urinalysis. Based on the information provided the
medication was signed out as being administered three times daily on 6/15-6/16, and 6/18-6/21. It was
signed out as being administered twice daily on 6/24-6/26/23. Again, the signature for the nurse
administering the medications was the same for each date. The same signature was also on the narcotic
medication record dated 5/31/23. The DON explained that the nurse who signed both narcotic medication
records was written up for not updating the MAR. She added that the information was sent to corporate and
during that time the nurse quit.
During a subsequent interview on 9/28/23 at 11:54 am, the Administrator and DON explained the nurse
was also written up for not documenting appropriately. The DON stated when she spoke with the nurse
during that time, he stated he was giving the resident pain medication as ordered because he was in
chronic pain. She stated they called the lab regarding the results and was told the medication wouldn't
show in those results. She stated the lab advised they would need to ask for a specific opiate

drug screen. When asked why a second test wasn't performed, she stated, They said they couldn't get
another screening. They said we had to request an opiate panel and it couldn't be done. The DON admitted
she didn't tell the lab the amount of medication the resident had received, nor did she confirm her
assumption that the medication would not show up on the test if it had not be administered in two days. The
Administrator acknowledged the facility did not further investigate the issue nor was it reported to the
agency. He stated at the time the nurse did not display any behaviors of drug use, so he was not
questioned and there was no further investigation.
Further review was conducted for the medication administration record revealed the following:
2. Resident #89 had physician's order with a revision date of 9/17/23 for tramadol 50 mg for times a day as
needed for 30 days (for pain). In the month of June 2023, resident was assessed to have pain level of 0 on
a pain scale of 0-10 (0 being the least pain and 10 being the most pain). June MAR indicated that tramadol
was administered on 6/9/23, 6/14/23 and 6/17/23 (pain level of 5, 5 and 3 respectively). Controlled
medication utilization record revealed that tramadol was signed of a given from 6/8/23 - 6/29/23 (these days
were not indicated in the MAR) (Copies obtained)
3. Resident #13 had physician's order with a revision date of 5/16/23 for tramadol 50 mg every 6 hours as
needed for 30 days (for non -acute pain). Per June 2023 MAR resident had no pain reported and
medication was not administered. However, the controlled medication utilization record revealed that
tramadol was signed of a given on 6/103, 6/14-6/15, 6/17-6/22, 6/24-26/23. (Copies obtained)
4. Resident #20 had physician's order dated 6/12/23 for oxycodone 5 mg every 6 hours as needed for
breakthrough pain. June 2023 MAR indicated that resident had no pain. Medication was signed off as given
on 6/12/23, 6/19/23, 6/21/23, 6/22/23 and 6/26/23. The controlled medication utilization record revealed the
medication was administered two to three times a day from 6/21/23 - 6/26/23. (Copies obtained)
A review of the facility's current employee roster provided upon entry to the facility on 9/25/23 revealed that
some of employees who signed off the medication inappropriately were still working at the facility.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to report allegations of
misappropriation of resident property (controlled medications) in accordance with State law, including
reporting to State Survey Agency for 1 (Resident #50) of 31 residents sampled.
The findings include:
During a tour of the facility on 9/25/23 at 3:25 pm, Resident #50 was observed resting in bed. There were
no signs or symptoms of pain or distress. When asked about his medication regimen, he said there was
some hanky panky going on with his medications. However, he was not able to provide full details of what
he meant by this and requested his wife be contacted for additional information on the matter.
On 9/25/23 at 3:36 pm, a phone interview was conducted with the wife of Resident #50. She stated that
after reviewing their insurance statements she noticed they were being charged for narcotic pain
medication which she knew he was not taking. She stated she contacted the facility regarding her
concerns. She stated the facility responded and a urinalysis was requested. She stated the test confirmed
the resident had not been taking the narcotic pain medication. She stated the facility provided conflicting
information as to what happened to the medication. She stated she was advised the nurse whom she
referred to as XXX was terminated. She did not know his last name, but he had been the nurse for Resident
#50 since admission. She stated after the incident with the medication she became fearful of retaliation and
therefore had not addressed any of her concerns with the facility. She felt Resident #50 was being
intentionally neglected and would eventually be evicted if she voiced her concerns.
A clinical record review for Resident #50 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included unspecified atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory failure, heart failure,
hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, chronic kidney disease Stage 3b, end stage renal disease,
long term use of anticoagulants and generalized anxiety disorder. The significant change minimum data set
(MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score
of 14 out of 15, indicating cognitively intact.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #50 revealed an order on 8/16/22 for
Norco Tablet 5-325 milligrams (mg) (hydrocodone-acetaminophen) one tablet by mouth every six hours as
needed for severe pain. On 6/21/23 the orders was updated to include: SECOND NURSE MUST WITNESS
ADMINISTRATION OF CONTROLLED MEDS. Review of the May and June 2023 MAR revealed the
resident received the medication on 5/21/23, level 3 pain was documented. Review of the MAR for June 23
revealed the resident received the medication on 6/21/23 and 6/24/23, level 4 pain was documented.
(Photographic evidence obtained)
Review of a physician's order for Resident #50 dated 6/26/23, read: Urine 14 panel drug screen one time

bed but will request to go lay back down as a result of the right hip pain. She stated he doesn't like to take
the pain medication because he doesn't want to get hooked on narcotics adding that the resident will ask
for his muscle spasm medication.
During an interview with the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/27/23 at 3:50 pm, she was
asked about Resident #50's pain medication regimen. The DON stated the resident would complain of pain
to the nurse so the nurse on duty would medicate him. She stated the resident didn't want to get addicted to
anything. The DON was asked to provide Resident #50's narcotic medication records for May and June.
On 9/28/23 at 11:02 am, the Administrator and DON provided narcotic medication records dated 5/30/23 for
Resident #50. Based on the information provided the medication was signed out as being administered
three times daily on 5/31/23, 6/1, 6/4/-6/5/, 6/8-6/10 and 6/14/23. The signature of the nurse administering
the medication was the same for all dates. When shown the MAR for this time period and asked about the
discrepancy between the two records for the same medication, the Administrator could not provide an
explanation. Instead, he provided a written statement from the facility's Unit Manager regarding the
negative results of the urinalysis on 6/26/23 for Resident #50. (Photographic evidence obtained) When
asked why a urinalysis had been ordered, the DON stated the wife had concerns the resident was not
receiving the medications. She stated the facility had the urinalysis done to prove that he was receiving the
medications. However, based on the information provided the resident was not receiving the medication.
She stated they contacted the lab regarding this and was advised the request needed to be more specific
to include the narcotic they were testing for in order for the proper test to be performed. When asked why
this information wasn't provided and the resident re-tested, she replied that two days had passed since the
resident had taken the medication and she didn't think it would still be in his system and show up on the
test.
On 9/28/23 at 11:36 am, the Administrator and DON provided a copy Resident #50's narcotic medication
record dated 6/11/23 along with the lab results for the urinalysis. Based on the information provided the
medication was signed out as being administered three times daily on 6/15-6/16 and 6/18-6/21. It was
signed out as being administered twice daily on 6/24-6/26/23. Again, the signature for the nurse
administering the medications was the same for each date. The same signature was also on the narcotic
medication record dated 5/31/23. The DON explained that the nurse who signed both narcotic medication
records was written up for not updating the MAR. She added that the information was sent to corporate and
during that time the nurse quit.
During a subsequent interview on 9/28/23 at 11:54 am, the Administrator and DON explained the nurse
was also written up for not documenting appropriately. The DON stated when she spoke with the nurse
during that time, he stated he was giving the resident pain medication as ordered because he was in
chronic pain. She stated they called the lab regarding the results and was told the medication wouldn't
show in those results. She stated the lab advised they would need to ask for a specific opiate drug screen.
When asked why a second test wasn't performed, she stated, They said they couldn't get another
screening. They said we had to request an opiate panel and it couldn't be done. The DON admitted she
didn't tell the lab the amount of medication the resident had received, nor did she confirm her assumption
that the medication would not show up on the test if it had not be administered in two days. The
Administrator acknowledged the facility did not further investigate the issue nor was it reported to the
agency. He stated at the time the nurse did not display any behaviors of drug use, so he was not
questioned and there was no further investigation.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to investigate an
allegation of misappropriation of resident property (controlled medication) for 1 (Resident #50) of 4
residents reviewed for misappropriation, from a total of 31 residents in the sample.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
During a tour of the facility on 9/25/23 at 3:25 pm, Resident #50 was observed resting in bed. There were
no signs or symptoms of pain or distress. When asked about his medication regimen, he said there was
some hanky panky going on with his medications. However, he was not able to provide full details of what
he meant by this and requested his wife be contacted for additional information on the matter.
On 9/25/23 at 3:36 pm, a phone interview was conducted with the wife of Resident #50. She stated that
after reviewing their insurance statements she noticed they were being charged for narcotic pain
medication which she knew he was not taking. She stated she contacted the facility regarding her
concerns. She stated the facility responded and a urinalysis was requested. She stated the test confirmed
the resident had not been taking the narcotic pain medication. She stated the facility provided conflicting
information as to what happened to the medication. She stated she was advised the nurse whom she
referred to as XXX was terminated. She did not know his last name, but he had been the nurse for Resident
#50 since admission. She stated after the incident with the medication she became fearful of retaliation and
therefore had not addressed any of her concerns with the facility. She felt Resident #50 was being
intentionally neglected and would eventually be evicted if she voiced her concerns.
A clinical record review for Resident #50 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included unspecified atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory failure, heart failure,
hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, chronic kidney disease Stage 3b, end stage renal disease,
long term use of anticoagulants and generalized anxiety disorder. The significant change minimum data set
(MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score
of 14 out of 15, indicating cognitively intact.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #50 revealed an order on 8/16/22 for
Norco Tablet 5-325 milligrams (mg) (hydrocodone-acetaminophen) one tablet by mouth every six hours as
needed for severe pain. On 6/21/23 the orders was updated to include: SECOND NURSE MUST WITNESS
ADMINISTRATION OF CONTROLLED MEDS. Review of the May and June 2023 MAR revealed the
resident received the medication on 5/21/23, level 3 pain was documented. Review of the MAR for June 23
revealed the resident received the medication on 6/21/23 and 6/24/23, level 4 pain was documented.
(Photographic evidence obtained)
Review of a physician's order for Resident #50 dated 6/26/23, read: Urine 14 panel drug screen one time
only for 2 days.
On 9/27/23 at 3:09 pm, an interview was conducted with Employee F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who
was familiar with Resident #50. She referred to him as max assist and stated he was incontinent of bladder
and bowel. She stated the resident complains of right hip pain and that he doesn't have feeling in his
fingers. She stated he does not refuse care or treatment. She stated Resident #50 gets

out of bed but will request to go lay back down as a result of the right hip pain. She stated he doesn't like to
take the pain medication because he doesn't want to get hooked on narcotics adding that the resident will
ask for his muscle spasm medication.
During an interview with the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/27/23 at 3:50 pm, she was
asked about Resident #50's pain medication regimen. The DON stated the resident would complain of pain
to the nurse so the nurse on duty would medicate him. She stated the resident didn't want to get addicted to
anything. The DON was asked to provide Resident #50's narcotic medication records for May and June.
On 9/28/23 at 11:02 am, the Administrator and DON provided narcotic medication records dated 5/30/2023
for Resident #50. Based on the information provided the medication was signed out as being administered
three times daily on 5/31/23, 6/1, 6/4/-6/5/, 6/8-6/10 and 6/14/23. The signature of the nurse administering
the medication was the same for all dates. When shown the MAR for this time period and asked about the
discrepancy between the two records for the same medication, the Administrator could not provide an
explanation. Instead, he provided a written statement from the facility's Unit Manager regarding the
negative results of the urinalysis on 6/26/23 for Resident #50. (Photographic evidence obtained) When
asked why a urinalysis had been ordered, the DON stated the wife had concerns the resident was not
receiving the medications. She stated the facility had the urinalysis done to prove that he was receiving the
medications. However, based on the information provided the resident was not receiving the medication.
She stated they contacted the lab regarding this and was advised the request needed to be more specific
to include the narcotic they were testing for in order for the proper test to be performed. When asked why
this information wasn't provided and the resident re-tested, she replied that two days had passed since the
resident had taken the medication and she didn't think it would still be in his system and show up on the
test.
On 9/28/23 at 11:36 am, the Administrator and DON provided a copy Resident #50's narcotic medication
record dated 6/11/23 along with the lab results for the urinalysis. Based on the information provided the
medication was signed out as being administered three times daily on 6/15-6/16 and 6/18-6/21. It was
signed out as being administered twice daily on 6/24-6/26/23. Again, the signature for the nurse
administering the medications was the same for each date. The same signature was also on the narcotic
medication record dated 5/31/23. The DON explained that the nurse who signed both narcotic medication
records was written up for not updating the MAR. She added that the information was sent to corporate and
during that time the nurse quit.
During a subsequent interview on 9/28/23 at 11:54 am, the Administrator and DON explained the nurse
was also written up for not documenting appropriately. The DON stated when she spoke with the nurse
during that time, he stated he was giving the resident pain medication as ordered because he was in
chronic pain. She stated they called the lab regarding the results and was told the medication wouldn't
show in those results. She stated the lab advised they would need to ask for a specific opiate drug screen.
When asked why a second test wasn't performed, she stated, They said they couldn't get another
screening. They said we had to request an opiate panel and it couldn't be done. The DON admitted she
didn't tell the lab the amount of medication the resident had received, nor did she confirm her assumption
that the medication would not show up on the test if it had not be administered in two days. The
Administrator acknowledged the facility did not further investigate the issue nor was it reported to the
agency. He stated at the time the nurse did not display any behaviors of drug use, so he was not
questioned and there was no further investigation.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure residents
received care and treatment in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents' choices by failing to provide adequate foot care/skin care,
medication administration and bathing for 1 (Resident #50) of 31 residents in the sample.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 9/25/23 at 3:25 pm, Resident #50 was observed resting in bed. There were no signs or symptoms of
pain or distress. He was asked about the care and treatment he had received while residing in the facility
and he replied that he had not been receiving showers. He stated he received bed baths but would like to
have showers. He advised that he was diabetic and was experiencing numbness in his feet and fingertips.
He stated he no longer required glucose checks, but the numbness in his fingertips remained. When asked
about his medication regimen, he said there was some hanky panky going on with his medications.
However, he was not able to provide full details about what he meant by this and requested his wife be
contacted for additional information on the matter.
A clinical record review for Resident #50 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included unspecified atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory failure, heart failure,
hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, chronic kidney disease Stage 3b, end stage renal disease,
long term use of anticoagulants and generalized anxiety disorder.
A review of the significant change minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the
resident had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 14 out of 15, indicating cognitively intact.
Resident required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, eating, toilet use and personal hygiene.
The resident's preferences section indicated it was very important for him to choose between a tub bath,
bed bath, or sponge bath. This preference was also captured during the admission MDS assessment dated
[DATE].
On 9/25/23 at 3:36 pm, a phone interview was conducted with the wife of Resident #50. She stated that
after reviewing their insurance statements she noticed they were being charged for narcotic pain
medication which she knew he was not taking. She stated she contacted the facility regarding her
concerns. She stated the facility responded and a urinalysis was requested. She stated the test confirmed
the resident had not been taking the narcotic pain medication. She stated the facility provided conflicting
information as to what happened to the medication. She stated she was advised the nurse whom she
referred to as XXX was terminated. She did not know his last name, but he had been the nurse for Resident
#50 since admission. She stated the resident was diabetic and she was concerned about a wound on his
foot. The bandage wasn't being changed as it should, and staff were not taking care of the resident's feet as
they should. She stated she had been keeping photographic evidence and encouraged observations of the
resident's feet. She stated after the incident with the medication she became fearful of retaliation and
therefore had not addressed any of her concerns with the facility. She felt Resident #50 was being
intentionally neglected and would eventually be evicted if she voiced her concerns.
On 9/25/23 at 4:31 pm, Resident #50 was observed in his room. He was asked for permission to look at his
feet. He replied, Sure, they aren't being taken care of. The resident's right great toe was observed with a

During an interview conducted with Employee F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Unit Manager, he stated
the nurses were responsible for doing skin checks. He stated every resident has a skin check assigned and
the nurses perform it sometimes with the help of a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). He stated the CNAs
also have shower sheets that they have to complete. They check the skin, the nurses sign it, and ultimately
it is turned in to him. He then reviews them. He again stated the nurses perform a weekly skin check on all
resident. Adding, it's head to toe. He stated residents are offered showers at least three times a week. He
stated if the resident declines a shower or if there is a medical condition i.e., they are on isolation then a
resident may not receive a shower. He stated a resident's size wouldn't prevent them from receiving a
shower. He stated, We have the equipment to accommodate residents of all sizes. We have the staff to
accommodate residents of all sizes.
He stated the nurse, and the CNA are responsible for making sure a resident who can't meet their ADLs
needs are getting them met. He stated they would find that information in the [NAME] in Point Click Care
and they would both have access to that.
During an interview with Employee G, LPN on 9/27/23 at 3:09 pm, who was familiar with Resident #50, she
stated that he was a max assist and incontinent of bladder and bowel. She stated the resident complains of
right hip pain and that he doesn't have feeling in his fingers. She explained that he does not refuse care or
treatment and if he did, she would make other attempts to provide car. If by chance, he still refused then
she would document it. She stated Resident #50 gets out of bed but will request to go lay back down as a
result of the right hip pain. She stated he didn't like to take the pain medication because he didn't want to
get hooked on narcotics instead he will ask for his muscle spasm medication. When asked about footcare

what his preference was, he stated he would prefer a shower but couldn't get it because of the Hoyer. He
told her he had received 2 showers in the year he had been in the facility. He really wanted a shower but
didn't think it was possible because he required a Hoyer lift. He went on to say that his head would

resident could not receive showers as he preferred.
