She had run out of her Ativan and had seizure activity. I was not informed by the facility this time that they had run out of the medication.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few lasted about 2 minutes. [Staff A, RN's name] she has to call the pharmacy and check on the orders and notify the physician that the dose was not administered. The Ativan is in the [name of automated medication dispensing system] so she should have got the medication out of the [name of medication dispensing system]. If not, she should call the doctor and tell him that the medication is not available. We did not have a floor supervisor Saturday night, but we rotated call between the ADON [Assistant Director of Nursing] and DON and we did not receive a call from anyone.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 09:45 AM Staff C, RN stated, I was working on the day that the resident [Resident #7] began seizing in the dining room. Ativan is available in the [name of medication dispensing system] so I pulled the Ativan out of the [name of medication dispensing system] and injected 2 mg of Ativan as ordered IM [intramuscularly] for seizures. After the resident was stabilized we called [Name of pharmacy] to see when the Ativan was going to be delivered, and they told us that it would be delivered on the next run. It was delivered on the evening run between 5 - 6 PM. [Staff A, RN's name] wasn't aware that she could get the medication from the [name of medication dispensing system]. She only thought of calling the pharmacy to see when the medications would be delivered.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 09:55 AM the DON stated, I began the investigation as soon as I was aware [on 12/14/2025] that the resident [Resident #7] had a seizure. I identified that if the nurse does not use the [name of medication dispensing system] for 30 days then they are locked out and cannot scroll to see if the medications are available. The Ativan is in the [name of automated medication dispensing system] so she should have got the medication out of the [name of medication dispensing system]. If not, she should call the doctor and tell him that the medication is not available.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:20 AM the Facility Medical Director stated, I am aware of [Resident #7's name] and she is under hospice care. I did not receive a call from the facility related to her being out of Ativan but normally I would not. They would call the hospice physician. I would consult if needed. Maybe the on-call physician received a call. [A request was made on 12/16/2025 at approximately 1:00 PM with the Administrator for documentation the on-call physician was notified. By the time of the survey exit on 12/18/2025, no documentation had been provided.] The staff would not call me if they do not have access to the [name of medication dispensing system], but they have before and I tell them to call the pharmacy for authorization. Normally, after five missed doses of Ativan 1 mg it would not cause seizure activity, it is not common, but it could be an exception for her. The facility did respond when she started having the seizures and gave the PRN 2 mg IM for seizure activity. My understanding is she had a seizure for about two minutes; she was never sent to the hospital.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:22 AM Staff A, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, There was no Ativan in the medication cart for [Resident #7's name], so I tried to pull it from the [name of medication dispensing system], but it had been locked out. I told [name of a Supervisor, who was not acting as the Supervisor; was working as a licensed practical nurse, on a medication cart] the supervisor that I had no access and I needed help getting access to the [name of medication dispensing system] so that I could get the Ativan. She said she was busy but would come and assist shortly. She came later that night and I reminded her, but she never helped me get access. I called a doctor and left a message, but I don't know who I called and no one ever called me back. I did call pharmacy Friday night and Saturday to request the medications. Saturday, I tried the [name of medication dispensing system] again, even the fingerprint and it would not work so [Staff C, RN's name] tried to help me but couldn't get access.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 11:39 AM Staff E, RN stated, I normally work 11P-7A [11:00 PM to 7:00 AM].

I called and they [Pharmacy] said that they would fill the prescription, and it would be delivered on the first run. So, I expected to have the medication before 6 AM, which was the time that her next dose was due. I did not call the doctor because I thought we would have the medication. When change of shift came, we did not get the delivery. So, I reported it to the oncoming nurse that we did not have her Ativan and the ADON. There was no supervisor on for this shift, so I did not report to anyone else. I did not try to get it from the [name of medication dispensing system] because I was never given [name of medication dispensing system] access.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 1:18 PM Staff G, LPN/Weekend Supervisor stated, I was on a cart 12/13/25 and was not informed that [Staff A, RN's name] needed any help.

It is our responsibility to get the medication refilled before we run out or call if we need a prescription written by the doctor before the medication is gone. I try to get the medication replaced before they are out normally when I have 3-5 pills left.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 1:03 PM interview the Pharmacist [Name of pharmacy] stated, We record the calls and I did not receive a call from the facility on 12/12/2025 or 12/13/2025 but did receive a call on 12/14/2025 at 12:48 AM requesting a refill for the Ativan 1 mg and the nurse was told that the medication would be delivered that day. So, the Ativan was refilled 12/14/2025 and delivered 5:22 PM. Withdrawals from missing Ativan can be general such as dizziness, slurred speech, weakness, and possible seizures. The complications of having seizures is the risk of falls, cognitive impairment, and respiratory obstruction.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 3:26 PM the ADON #1, LPN stated, I came in around 6:30 AM [12/14/2025]. I was on-call Saturday night [12/13/2025] as I was back up and I received no calls. I came in on Sunday morning just to get caught up and [Staff B, RN's name] said that she had called the pharmacy and that the medication will be delivered. If we run out of medication in the medication carts, we check the [name of medication dispensing system] and if it is available then we pull it. If it's a narcotic, some require pharmacy authorization. We call pharmacy for authorization and if they need a new Rx [prescription], the nurse will call the doctor. New orders or substitute medication whatever is needed, the doctor will give the order. The doctor has to be notified if the medication is not available. I'm not sure if the doctor was notified or not, but it is the responsibility of the nurse to get the medications refilled or a new prescription if needed and the nurse has to call the doctor if medication is not given. If the [name of medication dispensing system] does not have that Rx such as 1 mg of Ativan, the order is written, a call must be placed to the doctor for an order of what we have available. We have .5 mg in the [name of medication dispensing system] so the doctor would have to order two tablets of 0.5 mg Ativan, and we could obtain it from the [name of medication dispensing system]. On orientation we receive education on medication administration, that the doctor has to be notified if medication is not available.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 3:43 PM Staff I, Hospice Nurse, RN stated, I was at the facility on Friday [12/12/2025] and completed the narcotic count for the resident [Resident #7]. There was zero Ativan. I asked the nurse and she told me that she had used the last Ativan that she had. The nurse did not have her glasses and could not read the refill off the card.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few refills. There was no need for a new Rx. She just needed to call the pharmacy to have the pharmacy send the Rx. The script was already there, and they could fill the Ativan up to 135 [tablets]. Review of the [name of the automated medication dispensing system] inventory documented Lorazepam 0.5 mg tablet is listed as a medication that is available for administration. Review of an undated correspondence provided to the facility by Physician #2 Medical Director read, This statement is provided in my capacity as medical director to address concerns related to an alleged immediate jeopardy (IJ) regarding a resident who experienced a brief seizure episode following an interruption in scheduled lorazepam (Ativan) therapy while residing at Lady Lake Specialty Care. Lorazepam is a short acting benzodiazepine with elimination half-life [an estimation of the time it takes for the medication's initial concentration in the body to decrease by half] of approximately 12 to 15 hours and no active metabolites. Interruption of regular scheduled dosing may result in rapid decline in central nervous system inhibitory activity. Missing four to five consecutive doses of lorazepam administered every 8 hours results in a clinically significant lapse in pharmacological coverage, exceeding multiple medications half-lives and is associated in the medical literature with an increased risk of neurological excitability, including seizure activity. Seizure activity related to abrupt changes in benzodiazepine exposures has been described even when medications are prescribed and used at therapeutic doses, without misuse, abuse, or prior seizure disorders. Medically complex and elderly post-acute patients may be more vulnerable due to physiological dependence and a reduced neurological reserve. In this case, the resident experienced a brief seizure episode lasting approximately 2 minutes, which resolved promptly from administration of 2 milligrams intramuscular lorazepam. The rapid resolution of symptoms following re administration of the scheduled medication is clinically consistent with the medication-interruption related neurological event and aligns with the accepted standard of care for acute seizure management.Review of the American Addiction Centers at americanaddictioncenters.org/Ativan-treatment/withdrawal-timeline titled, Ativan Withdrawal Symptoms, Timeline & Detox Treatment read, Ativan Withdrawal - Physical dependence occurs as a result of an individual taking certain types of drugs over rather lengthy periods of time. When an individual chronically uses or abuses certain classes of drugs, the individual's system becomes acclimated to having the drug present and learns to function at a steady level only when the drug is present in the individual's tissues. The system automatically adjusts its own release of chemical substances, such as neurotransmitters, hormones, and so forth, to account for the presence of the drug. Once the individual abruptly stops taking the particular drug, the system is thrown off balance, and this produces a number of physical symptoms known as withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal from a benzodiazepine like Ativan can be potentially dangerous and even fatal due to the potential to develop seizures during the withdrawal process. Ativan withdrawal usually occurs in two stages: an acute stage and a prolonged stage. Ativan has a half-life of 10-12 hours on average, so withdrawal symptoms can start relatively quickly (within 24 hours) following the last dose. The average onset of withdrawal symptoms is 3-4 days. Acute withdrawal may begin with a rebound effects that consist of a rush of anxiety, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping. Acute withdrawal phase symptoms may include: Headache, sweating, tremors (especially in the hands), difficulty concentrating, and/or confusion, Increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, and a rapid heart rate, Nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and/or weight loss, irritability, feelings of anxiety, mood swings, and/or even panic attacks, Seizures can occur in rare cases. Factors Affecting Ativan Withdrawal: The duration and intensity of withdrawal symptoms individuals experience depend on a couple of different factors. Most often, these include: The dose and frequency of Ativan: Chronic users or abusers of Ativan develop tolerance relatively quickly.

F 0835 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 Based on interview and record review the facility administration failed to assume the full responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the facility and use of resources effectively and efficiently to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident by failing to implement policy and procedures for physician ordered medication administration. The facility failed to ensure Resident #7 was administered physician ordered Ativan 1 mg every 8 hours on 12/12/2025 at 10:00 PM, 12/13/2025 at 6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 10:00 PM, and on 12/14/2025 at 6:00 AM resulting in five missed doses, failed to ensure access to retrieve the physician ordered Ativan from the on-site automatic medication dispensing machine, and failed to notify the physician the ordered Ativan was not administered.The Administration failure to develop and implement a system for verification of access to the medications stored in the on-site automated medication dispensing machine for all licensed nursing staff resulted in Resident #7 suffering a seizure on 12/14/2025 at 8:35 AM and the administration of Ativan 2 mg intramuscularly. Abruptly stopping Ativan throws the system off balance causing withdrawal systems which can be potentially dangerous and even fatal due to the potential to develop seizures during the withdrawal process.

My understanding is she had a seizure for about 2 minutes; she was never sent to the hospital.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:22 AM Staff A, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, There was no Ativan in the medication cart for [Resident #7's name], so I tried to pull it from the [name of medication dispensing system], but it had been locked out. I told [name of a Supervisor, who was not acting as the Supervisor; was working as a licensed practical nurse, on a medication cart] the supervisor that I had no access and I needed help getting access to the [name of medication dispensing system] so that I could get the Ativan. She said she was busy but would come and assist shortly. She came later that night and I reminded her, but she never helped me get access. I called a doctor and left a message, but I don't know who I called and no one ever called me back. I did call pharmacy Friday night and Saturday to request the medications. Saturday, I tried the [name of medication dispensing system] again, even the fingerprint and it would not work so [Staff C, RN's name] tried to help me but couldn't get access.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 11:39 AM Staff E, RN stated, I normally work 11P-7A [11:00 PM to 7:00 AM]. When I came on 12/14/2025 and the Ativan was still not delivered I called hospice and told the hospice nurse that she [Resident #7] was out of the Ativan. The hospice nurse said that the prescription was written back in November, that I needed to call the pharmacy [Name of pharmacy] for them to refill. I called and they [Pharmacy] said that they would fill the prescription, and it would be delivered on the first run. So, I expected to have the medication before 6 AM, which was the time that her next dose was due. I did not call the doctor because I thought we would have the medication. When change of shift came, we did not get the delivery. So, I reported it to the oncoming nurse that we did not have her Ativan and the ADON. There was no supervisor on for this shift, so I did not report to anyone else. I did not try to get it from the [name of medication dispensing system] because I was never given [name of medication dispensing system] access.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 1:18 PM Staff G, LPN/Weekend Supervisor (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 106003 If continuation sheet Page 14 of 22 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 106003 B.

She did not tell me that she needed access to the [name of medication dispensing system]. She did not tell me that [Resident #7's name] was out of Ativan. I could have helped her. I would have retrieved the Ativan for her and called the pharmacist for her. We just need two nurses, one to sign in and one to witness to get medication out of the [name of medication dispensing system]. It is our responsibility to get the medication refilled before we run out or call if we need a prescription written by the doctor before the medication is gone. I try to get the medication replaced before they are out normally when I have 3-5 pills left.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 1:03 PM interview the Pharmacist [Name of pharmacy] stated, We record the calls and I did not receive a call from the facility on 12/12/2025 or 12/13/2025 but did receive a call on 12/14/2025 at 12:48 AM requesting a refill for the Ativan 1 mg and the nurse was told that the medication would be delivered that day. So, the Ativan was refilled 12/14/2025 and delivered 5:22 PM. Withdrawals from missing Ativan can be general such as dizziness, slurred speech, weakness, and possible seizures. The complications of having seizures is the risk of falls, cognitive impairment, and respiratory obstruction.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 3:26 PM the ADON stated, I came in around 6:30 AM [12/14/2025]. I was on-call Saturday night [12/13/2025] as I was back up and I received no calls. I came in on Sunday morning just to get caught up and [Staff B, RN's name] said that she had called the pharmacy and that the medication will be delivered. If we run out of medication in the medication carts, we check the [name of medication dispensing system] and if it is available then we pull it. If it's a narcotic, some require pharmacy authorization. We call pharmacy for authorization, if they need a new Rx [prescription], the nurse will call the doctor. New orders or substitute medication whatever is needed, the doctor will give the order. The doctor has to be notified if the medication is not available. I'm not sure if the doctor was notified or not, but it is the responsibility of the nurse to get the medications refilled or a new prescription if needed and the nurse has to call the doctor if medication is not given. If the [name of medication dispensing system] does not have that Rx such as 1 mg of Ativan, the order is written, a call must be placed to the doctor for an order of what we have available. We have .5 mg in the [name of medication dispensing system] so the doctor would have to order two tablets of 0.5 mg Ativan, and we could obtain it from the [name of medication dispensing system]. On orientation we education on medication administration, that the doctor has to be notified if medication is not available.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 3:43 PM Staff I, Hospice Nurse, RN stated, I was at the facility on Friday [12/12/2025] and completed the narcotic count for the resident [Resident #7]. There was zero Ativan. I asked the nurse and she told me that she had used the last Ativan that she had. The nurse did not have her glasses and could not read the refill off the card. So, I told her to give it to me, and it showed that there were 135 [tablets] that were remaining to be refilled. She said to me that she is a weekend nurse and the nurses that normally work during the week do the refills. There was no need for a new Rx. She just needed to call the pharmacy to have the pharmacy send the Rx. The script was already there, and they could fill the Ativan up to 135 [tablets]. During an interview on 12/18/2025 at 12:37 PM the DON stated, I make sure that the nursing team has what they need to do their job, which includes medication availability, storage and administration. I have general oversight of the nursing department, safety and resident rights. I assure that the operations of the department is effective. We have an orientation itinerary, and I do portions related to expectation and education, abuse, and neglect. Everything is my responsibility and I oversee the managers and the ADONs. I expect that clinical rounds are completed to check on the residents every two hours to make sure they have what they need.

[ADON #2's name] made sure that she [Staff A] had access. [Staff A's name] didn't remember her PIN [personal access code for medication storage] and her fingerprint did not work. Staff B, RN did not have access.During an interview on 12/18/2025 at 1:28 PM Staff N, LPN Unit Manager, stated I have been in the role as a Unit Manager since August 2025. I followed a manager that was leaving and completed computer work and some in-services. I don't remember exactly, but I did receive education on leadership. One of the topics was delegation. I had three days of training and then I went on the floor and worked. I do not remember if I received access to the [name of automated medication dispensing system] on orientation or not but I've always had access; I've never lost access.During an interview on 12/18/2025 at 1:55 PM ADON #1 stated, I put nurses access into the [name of automated medication dispensing system] so that they can obtain medications that they need. No form is filled out, no log is maintained, and no handouts are provided. The [name of automated medication dispensing system] access is part of the medication administration during our orientation and if we do not have too many nurses I will give them access then. If it is too busy, I will wait and give them access when they are working the medication cart. I will provide [name of automated medication dispensing system] access for them. I just need the nurse to be with me, they pick their own PIN number for access, and they will use the fingerprint. I don't have a log showing everybody who gets access or when they get access. I've been at the facility for one year. I tell them if they have a problem let me know. They have two alternatives they can use the PIN number, that is their personal number that they have chosen for access or their fingerprint. I tell them if they have a problem come to me, [ADON #2's name or the DON's name]. When I came in on Sunday morning [on 12/14] I was catching up on some stuff and during the time that is when [Resident #7's name] began seizing. I was told by [Staff B's name] that she was out of her Ativan and it was being delivered by pharmacy. She never told me that she did not have access to the [name of automated medication dispensing system] and I was never informed by any nurses that they did not have access to the medication [name of automated medication dispensing system]. They all know my position, and I give access to the [name of automated medication dispensing system] so everyone should have told me if they did not have access or their access did not work, I could have fixed it. I do medication observations competencies with the new hires after they come off of orientation. Then with staff that have been here for a while we do competencies yearly with our yearly skills fairs. We will cover the rights of medication administration. No one reported to me that [Resident #7's name] did not receive her Ativan for those five doses because they did not have to report to me. They should have called the pharmacy, the doctor and the representative and documented. They did not have to notify me they just needed to follow the process. They should have told me that they did not have access to the [name of automated medication dispensing system] and I could have given them access. The doctor was never called and told that [Resident #7's name] never got her medications and I was never informed that she did not have access to the [name of automated medication dispensing system].
