Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report an alleged accusation of misappropriation
of resident narcotics. This applies to 10 of 10 residents (R1-R10) reviewed for misappropriation of property
in the sample of 10.
The findings include:
R1-R10 were on narcotics and resided in zones that V3 RN (Registered Nurse) was scheduled to work per
facility nursing assignment sheets.
On 10/10/23 at 9:33 AM, and 1:40 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that during suspension of an
employee (V6 Certified Nurses Assistant) related to an altercation that occurred involving her and two other
Registered Nurses (V3 and V5). V6 stated V3 was taking narcotics from the carts. V2 stated that the
altercation had occurred during overnight shift from 10/03/23 to 10/04/23 at 1:30 AM. V2 stated an
investigation [for misappropriation of property] was initiated on 10/04/23 when the suspension occurred [for
inappropriate staff behavior]. V2 added that a narcotic count of residents was done and residents on PM
narcotics were interviewed and no issues were found. V2 stated documentation of the investigation was not
recorded.
Per request, a synopsis of the above investigation was submitted at around 1:40 PM on 10/10/23.
On 10/10/23 at 12:05 PM, and 3:11 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated as follows: I came to know about it
because an irate employee [V6] got suspended because of her behavior and she was terminated. V2 knew
about the issue before me and she had already investigated it on 10/4/23. It was brought to my attention on
Thursday 10/5/23. V2 thought I knew about it on 10/4/23 as she assumed that I heard the conversation she
had over the phone with V6. I was outside the office making photocopies and did not hear. V5 resigned and
would not talk to us. Because V6 was terminated, V6 stated 'V3 is taking drugs. Everybody knows about it.'
We only do a formal investigation and report it to IDPH if there is an allegation [finding].
On 10/10/23 at 2:41 PM, V10 (Corporate Registered Nurse) stated, When an employee [V6 CNA] was
notified that she was suspended, in retaliation she responded and made an allegation about the nurse [V3]
taking narcotics. The facility did a narcotic count of the whole building and did not find anything. They
interviewed residents on V3's unit and they had no complaints. There was no validation of the allegation. It
was not reported as no concerns were found.
