**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure ongoing communication with the dialysis center
regarding resident assessment before and after dialysis treatment for 1 resident reviewed for dialysis,
Resident #12.Findings include:Review of Resident #12's admission record documented the resident was

trying to rearrange the schedule to get him in later. He was here Tuesday, and today [12/18/2025] and
scheduled for Saturday, then next week will be here on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I faxed the
schedule. He is always in pain as you know if they take meds before they come. We just pull the medication
right out with dialysis. No documentation at all from the facility. We do not send any information to the facility
unless they have a binder with communication or if they call and request anything.During an interview on

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free of significant
medication errors when the facility failed to ensure residents were administered physician ordered
anti-anxiety medications for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for medication administration, Resident #7. The

administering Ativan from 12/12/2025 at 10:00 PM through 12/14/2025 at 6:00 AM, for a total of five missed
doses. Resident #7 suffered seizure activity. Ativan was administered by intramuscular route on 12/14/2025
at 8:45 AM to treat the seizure activity. 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.The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on

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]. 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 stated, I was on a cart 12/13/25 and was not informed that [Staff A, RN's name]
needed any help. 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 #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. 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]. 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.

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. The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on December 17, 2025 at 3:38 PM.

[Resident #7] had a seizure on 12/14/2025 and [Staff C, RN' name] went to the [name of medication
dispensing system] got out the Ativan 2 mg and administered IM; the seizure 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 09:55 AM the DON stated, I began the
investigation as soon as I was aware [on 12/14/2025] that the [Resident #7 name] had a seizure, I identified
that if the nurse do 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.During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:20 AM
the 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 of 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 [as needed] 2 mg IM for
seizure activity. 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

stated, I was on a cart 12/13/25 and was not informed that [Staff A, RN's name] needed any help. 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. If
there are any issues or problems that are discovered

during rounds, we [the administrative team] will address it. We have a clinical meeting twice a day and
during the day they [nursing staff] report to me as needed. I was never informed that [Resident #7's name]
did not get her medications until after the seizure on 12/14/2025. Then I was informed that she [Resident
#7] did not receive her medications. [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]. [Staff A and Staff B's name] should have told me that she did not have access. She
should have called the pharmacist for a refill of the medication. Staff B, RN should have told me also that
she was never given access to the [name of automated medication dispensing system], and both of them
[Staff A, and Staff B], should have followed the process when they could not access the [name of
automated medication dispensing system].During an interview on 12/18/2925 at 3:38 PM the DON stated, I
