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 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on Observation, Interview, and Record Review the facility failed to prevent the misappropriation of resident's narcotic medication for three of three residents (R1, R2 & R3) reviewed for misappropriation of resident's property in the sample of four. The findings include:1. The Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition form dated 11/25/25 for R1 showed it was for Oxycodone 5 MG dose, 30 tablets, take 1 tablet by mouth daily as needed for pain. The form showed on 12/12/24 he had 4 tablets left. On 12/13/25 there were 2 tablets left with no documentation between the two dates to show administration. There was a note written on the sheet on 12/13/25 saying DON (Director of Nursing) aware and it was initialed by V7 Licensed Practical Nurse – LPN and V8 Registered Nurse – RN. Residents Affected - Few On 2/11/26 V7 LPN stated in December 2025 there was an incident where she was coming in and switching with the night nurse, V10 LPN and the count for R1's Oxycodone was off. On the sheet there were 4 marked as being left and then they counted the medication and there were only two left instead of 4. The count went to 2 without showing where 2 pills went. V7 stated V10 couldn't come up with a reason as to why it was like that or where the pills went. V7 stated V10 then said she must have given him two pills which did not make sense. V7 stated she worked on 2/6/26 and R1 did not have Oxycodone. V7 stated the nurse before her documented a 9 on the MAR which meant R1 did not get the medication. V7 stated she thought R1 had run out of medication, so she went to the medication dispensing machine to get a dose of the medication. V7 stated the machine will prompt you to get a code from pharmacy. V7 stated she called the pharmacy and was asked if his Oxycodone order had changed. They went over his medication order and it wasn't changed and was the same as what was on file at the pharmacy. The pharmacist told her that R1 should have 16-20 pills left. V7 stated her access was denied by pharmacy until management was notified. V7 stated she notified the Director of Nursing. V5 [NAME] President of Operations was contacted and she called pharmacy, and they told her on 1/17/26 there were two Oxycodone cards sent with 30 pills in each card, so they sent 60 pills. The February 2025 Medication Administration Record - MAR for R1 was reviewed and showed on 2/1, 2/3, 2/4 and 2/5 he did not receive Oxycodone 5 MG by mouth twice a day. The MAR showed on 2/2 that V8 RN signed off that she gave the medication in the morning and V10 LPN gave the medication at bedtime however the medication was not available. On 2/10/26 at 3:00 PM, R1's February 2025 MAR was reviewed with V8, and she stated she signed out his Oxycodone as given on 2/2/26 in error. It was not given; he did not have any available. On 2/10/26 at 1:14 PM, V5 [NAME] President of Operations stated last Friday (2/6/26) she was notified that R1 was missing oxycodone, so she started an investigation. V5 stated the missing oxycodone (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Abuse also includes the deprivation by an individual, including caretaker, of goods or services that are necessary to attain or maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Instances of abuse of all residents, irrespective of any mental or physical condition, cause physical harm, pain or mental anguish. The policy did not show the definition of misappropriation of resident property. 2.

The Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form dated 2 dated 1/16/26 and the Oxycontin 5 MG card 1 were missing. On 2/11/26 at 9:48 AM, V5 [NAME] President of Operations stated what she found for R1 is that he had two cards of oxycontin 5 MG delivered on 1/16/26 with 30 tablets in each card. The cards are labeled card 1 and card 2; the narcotic sheet is labeled sheet 1 and sheet 2. The correct sheet is to go with the correct card. Staff pull a label and put it on the card, and everything should match. V5 stated they are missing sheet two and card one of the oxycontin. The right label and card should be with the right sheet. V5 stated it is not a policy; it is just what they are supposed to do. V5 stated there is a missing card of oxycontin. V5 stated she found out that extra medications from the medication cart were being put in the medication cupboard in the medication room and staff were told it is not good practice. V5 stated she told staff she knows they are not counting the medications in the cupboard in the medication room at shift change so those medications are not being accounted for as they should be. The Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Forms dated 10/24 25 and 11/8/25 for R1's Oxycodone 5 MG tablets showed on 11/1 at 9:00 AM & 9:30 PM; 11/3 at 9:00 AM; 11/4 at 9:10 AM & 9:00 PM; 11/5 at 9:30 AM; 11/6 at 9:00 AM & 9:30 PM; 11/8 at 8:00 AM; 11/9 at 8:00 AM; 11/10 at 9:00 AM; 11/11 at 8:15 AM; 11/12 at 4:00 AM and 12:00 AM; 11/13 at 8:00 AM; 11/14 at 8:57 AM; 11/15 at 8:30 AM & 9:00 PM; 11/16 at 9:00 PM; 11/17 at 8:15 AM; 11/19 at 8:15 AM; 11/20 at 9:00 AM; 11/21 – no time documented; 11/22 at 9:00 AM; 11/23 at 9:00 AM; 11/24 at 8:50 AM; and 11/25 at 8:00 AM these doses were subtracted on the form but not documented as given on R1's November 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR).

The director of nursing documents irreconcilable discrepancies in a report to the administrator. Controlled substance inventory is regularly reconciled to the medication administration record and forms: Controlled Substance Count Record. Current controlled substance accountability records are kept in the MAR, or designated book. Completed accountability records are submitted to the director of nursing and kept on file for 5 years at the facility. 2. The November 2026 Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form for R2's hydromorphone HCL 4 MG tablet was reviewed. It showed to take 1 tablet by mouth, twice daily scheduled; take 1 tablet by mouth twice a day as needed. The form had a sticker on the side of it that showed this was for 2 of 2 cards that were received. The facility received 2 cards of the medication with 30 tablets in each card on 11/6/25.
