This survey cited 12 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm . Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, staff and resident interviews and review of facility policies and procedures, the facility failed to ensure 1(Resident #21) of 1 resident reviewed had a wheelchair in good working repair and was safe for resident use. The findings included: The facility policy Wheelchair (w/c) Repair-Electric Wheelchairs documented, Each resident requiring the use of a w/c will be provided the appropriate chair to maintain their highest level of functioning. All chairs will be maintained in a safe operating condition. When identified that the w/c is in need of repair, the staff will notify rehab to obtain a replacement w/c while the chair is being repaired. Preventive maintenance of each w/c should be done on a regular basis and the Director of Environmental Services should keep a log of this. On 12/10/24 at 12:59 p.m., Resident #21 was observed in his w/c, and said he needed a new w/c because his required repair. The resident got up from the w/c and it was observed to have a broken back support that did not provide the necessary support. The arm rests were frayed and covered in black tape. The seat was torn, frayed and tattered. He said he had requested a new w/c multiple times and has not received one. Resident #21 said he felt the w/c was dangerous and not safe. He said he was worried he could fall backwards due to the lack of support with the w/c. On 12/10/24 at 4:47 p.m., during an interview, the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC) said she and the Director of Nursing did assess the residents w/c. The RNC said they were not aware of the condition of the resident's w/c, and would order him a new w/c. On 12/11/24 at 10:52 a.m., during an interview, the Maintenance Director (MD) said he is notified of things in need of repair in the facility electronic Tell's system. He said the staff are to report repairs using the Tell's system. The MD said there was no log at this time where staff can write their concerns for maintenance. The MD said the process for broken w/c's was to take it to the therapy department and they would determine if the w/c was able to be repaired or needed to be replaced. He said Resident #21 had reported to him for days that he needed a new w/c, and I told him to go to therapy, there was no way that chair could be fixed. On 12/11/24 at 11:55 a.m., during an interview, the Maintenance Director said, he inspected Resident #21's w/c and went to therapy to obtain a new w/c. The MD said he threw the old w/c in the garbage because there was no way to repair the w/c so he replaced it.

Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to provide appropriate housekeeping services to ensure the facility remained in good repair, and ensure facility staff were aware of how to report needed repairs to the maintenance staff. The findings included: 1. On 12/09/24 at 10:52 a.m., a large brown stain was observed on the carpet in the living room area adjacent to room [ROOM NUMBER]. There was a tear in the carpet noted with carpet material being frayed and sticking up above the carpet. The area of carpet torn was approximately 2 to 3 inches wide. On 12/11/24 at 3:17 p.m., during an interview, the Housekeeping Director said the stain in the 507-living area pod was caused by the air conditioner leaking. The Housekeeping Director said he had talked to maintenance about replacing the carpet. On 12/11/24 at 3:21 p.m., during an interview, the Maintenance Director said his plan is to replace all the carpets with hardwood flooring.

On 12/11/24 at 11:05 a.m., during an interview, the Maintenance Director was asked how staff report needed repairs to maintenance. The Maintenance Director said as of about three weeks ago the facility had switched to using Tells to communicate repairs electronically. He said he did not know if staff had been in-serviced on using the Tells system. On 12/12/24 at 10:03 a.m., during an interview Certified Nursing Assistant, Staff D, said she would use the maintenance book at the nurse's station to communicate to maintenance a repair was needed. On 12/12/24 at 10:10 a.m., during an interview Registered Nurse, Staff E said she would document the repair needed in the maintenance book at the nurse's station. On 12/12/24 at 10:15 a.m., during an interview Registered Nurse, Staff F said she would notify maintenance by documenting in the maintenance book at the nurse's station.

F 0602 Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm . Residents Affected - Some Based on review of the clinical record, review of facility policy and procedures, and resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to protect residents from misappropriation of resident property when controlled medications were unaccounted for 1(Resident #45). On 2/13/24 it was reported Resident #45's Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 5 milligrams (mg)-325 mg, 75 tablets were unaccounted for. The facility failed to account for all controlled medications to prevent loss or diversion. On 8/5/24 controlled medications were signed out on the narcotic declining drug inventory sheet as administered for 3(Resident #12, # 42, and #27) who were alert and oriented and reported they had not received the medications that were documented. On 10/2/24 Resident #63 reported he received a medication that was not his OxycodoneAcetaminophen 10 mg-325 mg and had not requested the as needed medication from the nurse who documented it was administered. The findings included: The facility policy N-1265 Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation documented It is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center that he or she be afforded basic human rights, including the right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation and or misappropriation of property.

F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some The facility did not substantiate the investigation due to the allegation was refuted by evidence collected during the investigation. Based on staff and resident interview and full house audit on current residents receiving narcotics ensured no other narcotic medication were misplaced. The facility investigation was inconclusive. Review of the witness statement written by LPN Staff L with a date of 2/14/24 documented I gave the med's to assigned on that cart. I cannot remember anything after that. Review of the phone interview witness statement dated 2/19/24 received by the Regional Nurse Consultant for LPN Staff P documented, She thinks she remembers receiving narcotics from Staff L but cannot verify or remember if anything was for Resident #45. Review of the Pharmacy delivery form documented 75 Oxycodone 10 mg tabs were delivered and signed for by LPN Staff L. On 12/11/24 at 9:30 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said resident interviews were conducted on LPN Staff L's assignment and no other residents receiving pain medications had any issues. Staff L is no longer employed with us. Staff P was the nurse Staff L said she gave the medications to, and she is no longer here either. The DON said the process when the pharmacy delivers medications to the facility a nurse signs electronically, that the medications were received. The pharmacy keeps the record, but a copy is in our electronic dashboard system. We did notify the pharmacy the Hydrocodone was missing and they will follow up. The investigation is a facility thing. I think we found the medication but there is no documentation it was found. We never had to replace it because we found it in the pharmacy bag that is returned to the pharmacy. We searched the medication rooms and did not find the medication until later. The DON confirmed there was no documentation stating the facility had located the medication. The DON said we interviewed all the residents when the medication was not discovered, and we closed the investigation out. She said the root cause of the missing 75 tablets of Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 was the nurses were not having a witness when they sign the narcotics in and out, so we implemented that they need to have a second nurse witness. Education was provided with the nurses on the policy of having 2 nurses sign for the medications. Review of the facilities resident interview sheets consisted of the residents name and the question are you receiving your pain medication? circle yes/no. No dates, no time and no signatures were on the facility audits. Review of the education in-service provided on 2/14/23 by the Unit Manager LPN Staff M, specified 2 nurses will sign all narcotic sheets when received from pharmacy and before entering the sheet into the narcotic binder. Nine nurses including the presenter signed the attendance sheet. LPN Staff M signed for nine nurses who were provided with a phone call regarding the policy. On 12/11/24 at 1:46 p.m., Resident #45 said she was informed by the facility staff her pain medication was missing. She said she had pain in her back, and they did not have her medication that evening. She said she was informed that if she wanted a refill, she would have to pay for the medication. Resident #45 said that is not my problem, they need to find out who took my medications, the nurse is the one with the keys not me. I can't unlock the cart. On 12/11/24 at 2:19 p.m., LPN Staff M showed the plastic bag the medications go into for return to the pharmacy. She said the pharmacy delivers medications daily and collects the go back bags.

F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 2. On 12/9/24 at 11:50 a.m., RN Staff J, he said was working on 8/6/24 and when I came in and counted the cart with LPN Staff I, and the count was good. I noted residents who don't ask for controlled medications had received them. Resident #12 never complains of pain and I saw that Tramadol 50 mg was signed off on the declining controlled drug count sheet and one hour later a Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 mg was signed off as well. Both medications were scheduled every 4 hours as needed and Resident #12 received the 2 medications 1 hour apart. I asked the resident, and he said he never requested a pain pill. Resident #27 had two Oxycodone 20 mg tablets removed from the medication card but only one tablet was signed out. Resident #42 had one Ativan 0.5 mg removed from a full card of 25 tablets. Resident #42 has never used the medication, he never asks for it. I looked at the count sheets and I thought something was suspicious because I asked the residents, and they all said they did not receive the medications. I went to the DON with my concerns, and we conducted an audit of all the medication carts to make sure the controlled medication count sheets were accurate. We interviewed the residents, and they said they never requested the medications and did not receive them. On 12/9/24 at 2:00 p.m., Resident #12 he said he remembers the nurse who said she gave me Tramadol and Hydrocodone. She said I asked for the pills and I never asked for the medication, and she never gave me anything. I didn't get any medications that night. Resident #12 said the nurse tried to say she gave them to him but he did not receive them. He said They sign it out and say they give it but they don't. It is our word against the nurses. 3. On 8/5/24 at 9:04 p.m., LPN Staff I documented she administered one Oxycodone 20 mg tablet to Resident #27. The facility reviewed the declining narcotic count sheet and a new card of 25 pills showed 2 tablets were removed, leaving a total of 23 pills left in the card. The facility was not able to locate the missing Oxycodone 20 mg. 4. On 8/5/24 at 00:00 LPN Staff I documented she administered one Ativan 0.5 mg (medication used to treat anxiety or agitation) to Resident #42. The medication was scheduled as needed. Review of the declining controlled medication count sheet revealed the pharmacy delivered 25 tablets on 6/29/24. The facility verified the medication was removed from the medication card and declining narcotic count sheet had been filled out correctly but the resident said he did not ask for the medication or receive it. On 12/10/24 at 10:53 a.m., Resident #42 said I know I have not ever requested an Ativan from any nurse here. That night, I don't remember the exact date, but the nurse said she gave me an Ativan and I asked for it, but she never gave me anything. I think maybe she took it or gave it to someone else but not me. The resident said RN Staff J had asked him if he requested and received the Ativan, and I told him I did not get an Ativan from the nurse. On 12/11/24 at 8:30 a.m., the DON said she investigated the event of 8/5/24 with the medications for Residents #12, #27 and #42. She said it was the night shift nurse, Staff J who found the discrepancies with medications which were signed out for residents who do not usually receive them. The DON said, with Resident #12, Staff I had signed the declining narcotic count sheet for a Tramadol 50 mg at 9:00 p.m., and an hour later at 10:00 p.m., a Oxycodone/325 was signed out. Staff J said the resident never asks for the medications and asked him if he had received them. The resident said he had not received them and did not ask for them.

F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some The DON said, we checked the count sheet, and the Tramadol and Oxycodone were signed out. I interviewed LPN Staff I and she said she gave it because Resident #12 had asked for it. I interviewed Resident #12 and he said he did not receive the medications, and did not ask for them. He has the capacity to know if he received the medications or not. The DON said, Resident #27 had an unopened card of Oxycodone 20 mg tablets. There were 25 tablets. Staff I gave 1 tablet but, 23 tablets were left indicating Staff I gave 2 pills. She said she only gave one. I interviewed the resident but she could not recall how many pills she received that night. The declining narcotic control count sheet indicated 23 tablets remained. Resident #42 had Ativan .5 mg ordered as need, and one tablet was signed out at 00:00 by Staff I on 8/6/24. Staff J said the resident had never asked for an Ativan before and asked the resident and he said he did not request it or receive it. The DON said, with these three residents identified, we interviewed the nurse and realized she had made multiple medication errors that night. I was not able to determine if she took the medications or gave them to other residents or to the right residents. Staff I said, she had a horrible night with family issues and said she probably should have called off. She said she kept leaving the unit to cry and was upset. Staff I said she gave the medications to Resident #12, #27 and #42. After the investigation I was not able to identify what happened. Staff I did not come in for her scheduled interview and did not show up for her scheduled shift. I attempted to contact her multiple times but she did not return my calls. The DON said the root cause was inconclusive. The facility was not able to substantiate medication diversion. 5. Review of the facility investigation revealed on 10/2/24 at 6:30 a.m., Resident #63 reported a potential discrepancy in his medication administration to the facility nurse, LPN Staff S. He reported he received 3 pills in the medication cup, including his scheduled levothyroxine and Gabapentin. The third pill was marked with a G and numbers, and did not match the appearance of his prescribed as needed Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10/325 mg. He suspected the pill was not his prescribed pain medication. Resident #63 reported to the DON and the Social Service Director, that LPN Staff N entered his room and stated she had his morning medications and a pain medication. The resident said he did not request the as needed pain medication. Resident #63 said the Nurse handed him the cup and left the room. The facility investigation was documented as inconclusive. On 12 /9/24 at 12:30 p.m., during an interview, Resident #63 said on 10/2/24, I remember that day very well. LPN Staff N brought me 3 pills in a cup. I identified 2 of them, they were correct. The third one she said was my pain pill. I know I get Hydrocodone 10/325 and the pill has an M on it with some numbers. She gave me a round pill with the letter G on. My pain medication is not round it is long and white. I keep up with my medications, you have to so when things like this happen you are aware. The DON said it was a Tylenol pill that she gave me, I don't know what it was but I refused to take it. There was no Hydrocodone given to me that night. I filed a grievance regarding the incident. I know my medications; you have to be able to look at your pills and know what you are getting. You have to be your own advocate. Review of the medication administration record for October 2024 documented at 10:20 p.m., on 10/2/24 the nurse signed the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10/325 mg was administered to Resident #63. On 12/9/24 at 12:00 p.m., review of Resident #63's pain medication with LPN Staff R. The Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10/325 did have the letter M 367 inscribed on the tablet.

F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 12/11/24 at 08:30 a.m., during an interview, the DON said on 10/2/24 Resident #63 reported to the nurse he received a medication with the letter G on the round tablet. He did have an order for Gabapentin and levothyroxine that he takes at 6:00 a.m. He said the nurse gave him a cup with three pills and said one was a pain pill but he never asked for a pain pill. We did a pain scale and reviewed his medication. He described the pill and one of the nurses determined it was a Mucinex tablet. One of the nurses knew what the Mucinex tablets we have in stock look like and that is what he described. He did not have an order for Mucinex. I don't know if he received the medication it was inconclusive to me. I did not know if the resident took the medication or the nurse did. The DON said she did not do education with the staff as it was an isolated situation. On 12/12/24 at 9:28 a.m., The Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) binder was reviewed with the Administrator, and the DON. There was no documentation in the binder of anything discussed in the monthly QAPI meetings. There was no documentation for February and March 2024 regarding the missing tablets of Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 75 for Resident #45, and no plan of correction. The DON said we did not bring it to QAPI because we found the medication later but we have no documentation the medication was found. I educated the staff on the 2 person system for checking in medications received from the pharmacy and when removing narcotics from the cart. There were no QAPI notes regarding the reportable event of 8/6/24 with missing narcotics for Residents #12, #27 and #42. The Administrator said he did not know about the missing Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 75 for Resident #45 because he was hired in March 2024. There was no QAPI discussion for the 10/2/24 reported incident of Resident #63 receiving a Mucinex tablet in place of the Oxycodone 10/325 mg tablet. I knew about that, he received a Mucinex tablet and not the pain medication. He said, I am not a nurse so I don't know about medications, I leave that for the DON to handle. The Administrator said he kept typed notes in the electronic record for the QAPI meetings because his handwriting was not good but he was not able to find any QAPI notes for the medication diversion. He said the DON handled the QAPI for the reported event on 8/6/24. It was a newly hired nurse, and we reported it. He confirmed there was no documentation of the incident discussed in QAPI. The Administrator said he reported it to the State agency, that is it. The Administrator said we discovered it was newly hired nurses who made medication mistakes so the DON and I are interviewing the new hires and we are more intuitive. If we get a bad feeling about the person or something does not feel right, we don't hire them. On 12/12/24 at 10:20 a.m., the DON she said everything with the medications was traced back to newly hired nurses not our nurses. I did education and I believe it was effective, but I understand there is no documentation of the outcome. It was not taken to QAPI because it was not our nurses who were making the mistakes so there was not anything we could have done for that. I don't see how we could have. We found the missing medications for Resident #45 but we did not document it when they were found. The incident on 8/5/24 occurred because Staff I was a new nurse. We completed assessments of the residents. The DON confirmed the declining narcotic sheets for Resident #27, #12 had the dates crossed out and another date written over it.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm . Residents Affected - Some Based on review of the clinical record, review of facility policies and procedures, and resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure accuracy of medication administration for 17(Residents #122, #222, #70, #41, #97, #13, #92, #10, #61, #8, #46, #67, #74, #12, #27, #63 and #42) of 17 residents reviewed for significant medication errors. The findings included: The facility policy N-861 Acceptance of Controlled Drugs documented, Controlled drugs will be delivered to the facility by the pharmacy in a sealed, tamper proof container. One nurse will sign for the container on the pharmacy delivery sheet. The container will remain sealed until a second nurse is available to open and validate the contents. 2 nurses will open the controlled drug container and reconcile the controlled drugs including but not limited to: correct medication, dosage, amounts. Controlled medications are then placed into the medication carts by the nurses. If discrepancies are found during reconciliation, notify the pharmacy and the director of nursing. Discrepancies may include but are not limited to: missing controlled drugs incorrect quantities, damaged containers or seals, tote is open or there is evidence of tampering. 1. On 12/9/24 at 11:50 a.m., during an interview, Registered Nurse (RN) Staff J, said he was working on 8/6/24. He said, when I came in and counted the cart with LPN Staff I, the count was good. I noted residents who never request controlled medications had received them. Resident #12 never complained of pain and I saw that Tramadol 50 mg was signed off on the declining controlled drug count sheet. One hour later a Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 mg was signed off as well. Both medications were scheduled every 4 hours as needed and Resident #12 received the 2 medications, 1 hour apart. I asked the resident, and he said he never requested a pain pill. Resident #27 had two Oxycodone 20 mg tablets removed from the medication card but only one tablet was signed out. Resident #42 had one Ativan 0.5 mg removed from a full card of 25 tablets. Resident #42 has never used the medication, he never asks for it. I looked at the count sheets and I thought something was suspicious because I asked the residents, and they all said they did not receive the medications. I went to the DON with my concerns, and we conducted an audit of all the medication carts to make sure the controlled medication count sheets were accurate. We interviewed the residents, and they said they never requested the medications and did not receive them. 2. On 12/9/24 at 2:00 p.m., during an interview, Resident #12 he said he remembers the nurse who said she gave me Tramadol and Hydrocodone. She said I asked for the pills and I never asked for the medication, and she never gave me anything. I didn't get any medications that night. Resident #12 said the nurse tried to say she gave them to him but he did not receive them. He said They sign it out and say they give it but they don't. It is our word against the nurses. 3. On 8/5/24 at 9:04 p.m., LPN Staff I documented she administered one Oxycodone 20 mg tablet to Resident #27. The facility reviewed the declining narcotic count sheet and a new card of 25 pills showed 2 tablets were removed, leaving a total of 23 pills left in the card. The facility was not able to locate the missing Oxycodone 20 mg. 4. On 8/6/24 at 00:00 LPN Staff I documented she administered one Ativan 0.5 mg (medication used to treat anxiety or agitation) to Resident #42. The medication was scheduled as needed.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Review of the declining controlled medication count sheet revealed the pharmacy delivered 25 tablets on 6/29/24. The facility verified the medication was removed from the medication card and the declining narcotic count sheet had been filled out correctly but the resident said he did not ask for the medication or receive it. On 12/10/24 at 10:53 a.m., during an interview, Resident #42 said I know I have not ever requested an Ativan from any nurse here. That night, I don't remember the exact date, but the nurse said she gave me an Ativan and I asked for it, but she never gave me anything. I think maybe she took it or gave it to someone else but not me. The resident said RN Staff J had asked him if he requested and received the Ativan, and I told him I did not get an Ativan from the nurse. On 12/11/24 at 8:30 a.m., the DON said she investigated the event of 8/5/24 with the medications for Residents #12, #27 and #42. She said it was the night shift nurse, Staff J who found the discrepancies with medications signed out for residents who do not usually receive them. Regarding Resident #12, The DON said Staff J saw he had a Tramadol 50 mg at 9:00 p.m., and an hour later at 10:00 p.m., a Oxycodone/325 was signed out. Staff J said the resident never asks for the medications and asked him if he had received them. The resident said he had not received them and did not ask for them. We checked the count sheet, and the Tramadol and Oxycodone were signed out. I interviewed LPN Staff I and she said she gave it because Resident #12 had asked for it. I interviewed Resident #12 and he said he did not receive the medications, and did not ask for them. He has the capacity to know if he received the medications or not. With Resident #27 she had an unopened card of 25 Oxycodone 20 mg tablets. The nurse gave 1 tablet but 23 tablets were left indicating Staff I gave 2 pills but she said she only gave one. I interviewed the resident but she could not recall how many pills she received that night. Resident #42 had Ativan 0.5 mg as need and one tablet was signed out at 00:00 by Staff I. Staff J said the resident had never asked for an Ativan before and asked the resident and he said he did not request it or receive it. With Residents #12, #27 and #42 we identified the errors. When we interviewed the nurse we realized she had made multiple medication errors that night. I was not able to determine if she took the medications or gave them to other residents or to the right residents. She said she had a horrible night with family issues and said she probably should have called off. She said she kept leaving the unit to cry and was upset. Staff I said she gave the medications to Resident #12, #27 and #42. After the investigation I was not able to identify what happened. All the residents on her assignment had medication errors and they did not receive their scheduled medications. LPN Staff I signed the medications as administered for all scheduled medications for the residents on her assignment. She said she gave the medications to Residents #122, # 222, #70, #41, #97, #13, #92, #10, #61, #8, #46, #67, and #74 and signed the Medication Administration Record (MAR). We interviewed the residents who were alert and they said they did not receive any medication from the nurse. The Mars were signed on 8/5/24 for Residents #122, #222, #70, #41, #97, #13, #92, #10, #61, #8, #46, #67, and #74 that the medications were administered, but the residents denied receiving any medications. 5. Review of the facility investigation revealed on 10/2/24 at 6:30 a.m., Resident #63 reported a potential discrepancy in his medication administration to the facility nurse LPN Staff S. He reported he received 3 pills in a medication cup, including his scheduled levothyroxine and Gabapentin.

She gave me a round pill with the letter G on. My pain medication is not round it is long and white. I keep up with my medications, you have to so when things like this happen you are aware. The DON said it was a Tylenol pill that she gave me, I don't know what it was but I refused to take it. There was no Hydrocodone given to me that night. I filed a grievance regarding the incident. I know my medications; you have to be able to look at your pills and know what you are getting. You have to be your own advocate.

He did have an order for Gabapentin and levothyroxine that he takes at 6:00 a.m. He said the nurse gave him a cup with three pills, and said one was a pain pill but he never asked for a pain pill. We obtained a pain scale and reviewed his medication. He described the pill and one of the nurses determined it was a Mucinex tablet. One of the nurses knew what the Mucinex tablets we have in stock look like and that is what he described. He did not have an order for Mucinex. I don't know if he received the medication it was inconclusive to me. I did not know if the resident took the medication or the nurse did.
