The doctor is either on vacation or whatever else and the nurse practitioner can't write the script, but they put her in charge. I have a history of rehab (rehabilitation) and withdraw. I dry heave, get hot then cold. It's no fun to deal with. I can't even make it from here (the bed) to the bathroom. I don't leave my room. I shut down completely. They don't give me a 'heads up' that I'm going to run out, but every month I'm dealing with it. They go through a whole sheet (medication card) and no one thinks to re-order it- I mean come on! Last week I was out. I just got it back Monday. I went 7 days without it. I told (V2, Director of Nursing, DON) and (V12, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). They call and leave messages but still here I sit in agony. I was almost to the point of causing myself 'an accident' just so I could go to the hospital to get my medicine. Not suicide or anything, just a fall or something. R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 is cognitively intact.

It further documents, 10/12/2024-Drug/Item Unavailable. Awaiting script from M.D (Medical Doctor). It continues to document, 10/18/2024-Drug/Item Unavailable. Awaiting script from M.D. Residents Affected - Few On 11/26/2024 at 2:36 PM, V3, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated, All I'm going to say is I can't make someone do something. I notified the doctor we needed a script. That's all I can tell you. She (R1) told me she had been without her medicine. I reached out again and finally got her meds (medication) in. On 11/26/2024 at 2:41 PM, V2, stated he was aware R1 was out of her medicine. V2 stated, (V3) reached out to the doctor. I am not sure how many doses she missed.

On 11/27/2024 at 8:49 AM, V12, LPN, stated, I know (R1) missed one dose for me, but they told me when I was off for a couple days she had missed some too. I got the script from (V14, NP). We kept calling pharmacy. If the doctor doesn't send the script to pharmacy-they won't send it. They have to have the script re-newed or else we could get it from the Ekit (Emergency medicine kit). It's a script thing. (R1) gets very upset about it. (V3) checks but sometimes it happens. She runs out. It's not right if she didn't get her medicine. R1's Quarterly Pain assessment dated [DATE] is incomplete. On 11/27/2024 at 1:55 PM, V2 stated, (R1) doesn't really have a diagnosis for the pain. We've done multiple X-rays of her knee and hip but they don't show much. She had her last quarterly pain assessment in June. It is not complete and she should have had one done again in September. We should probably refer her to pain management. On 11/27/2024 at 2:26 PM, V14, NP, stated R1 has been on oxycodone long term for neuropathy and chronic pain syndrome. V14 stated. As long as she is not going through withdraw, Tylenol can cover the pain. The relief won't be like receiving an Opioid pain killer, but can provide short term relief. On 12/2/2024 at 10:18 AM, V1, Administrator, stated, I'm sure if (R1) was complaining about pain, staff would have offered her Tylenol. R1's Current (12/2/2024) Physician's Orders does not include an order for Tylenol as needed. On 12/2/2024 at 12:09 PM, V2 Director of Nursing stated, I know she went without her oxy (oxycodone) but she didn't go without completely. She also has a lidocaine patch.

F 0740 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some be scared. At first I thought she was a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and was mortified and thought, 'They let their staff talk like that?' You never know how she is going to react. You have to tip-toe around her. I don't feel like this is the place for her. This is a nursing home. Her behaviors are scary. She'll say 'What the f*** Bob?' and 'that f****** white b****.' The cops have been here twice to take her away. On 11/26/2024 at 12:48 PM, V5, CNA stated, (R4) will say little things that aggravate the other residents. You never know when she's going to snap. I try to keep the ones that don't know any better away from her.

At this time, the anonymous staff member whispered to the surveyor, She's (R4) on the war path. On 11/26/2024 at 1:47 PM, V7, Registered Nurse (RN) stated, (R4) does use foul language. I have heard multiple residents say, 'Please stop. We don't want to hear that' and she'll (R4) tell them to 'Go to your f****** room'. It's not fair to the other residents. It is not the best placement for (R4). We have sent her out (to local hospital) several times but they just send her back. On 11/26/2024 at 1:50 PM, V10, Activity Director, stated she has heard residents' (R3 and R6) complain about R4's behaviors. 3.

She means well, she's just dangerous. Sent her out twice with the cops in two weeks. A lot of people here, especially the elderly, don't know what to do about her. She gets in their face and says, 'Boo' and then 'I love you'. She walks around recklessly all time time, doesn't stop, especially in the dining area. R6's MDS dated [DATE] documents R6 is cognitively intact. On 11/26/2024 at 3:45 PM, V11, CNA stated, I can see how R4's behaviors affect the other residents. She yells at staff. Some residents are sensitive to loud noises and vulgarity. On 11/26/2024 at 2:54 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Our sister facility in (nearby state) shut down and they had to find placement. We have put out referrals, but no one will accept her.

This PASRR documents R4 received short term approval without specialized services for 60 days. On 12/2/2024 at 12:09 PM, when asked about staff training related to behavioral health services, V2 stated, That's a good question. I know we do inservices quarterly, outside of that we don't do behavioral health inservices. We will definitely do one soon for sure. That'll take over what we planned for next month.

They don't give me a 'heads up' that I'm going to run out, but every month I'm dealing with it. They go through a whole sheet (medication card) and no one thinks to re-order it- I mean come on! Last week I was out. I just got it back Monday. I went 7 days without it. I told (V2, Director of Nursing, DON) and (V12, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). They call and leave messages but still here I sit in agony. I was almost to the point of causing myself 'an accident' just so I could go to the hospital to get my medicine.

On 11/26/2024 at 2:36 PM, V3, (ADON) stated, All I'm going to say is I can't make someone do something. I notified the doctor we needed a script. That's all I can tell you.

We kept calling pharmacy. If the doctor doesn't send the script to pharmacy-they won't send it. They have to have the script re-newed or else we could get it from the Ekit (Emergency medicine kit). It's a script thing. (R1) gets very upset about it. (V3) checks but sometimes it happens. She runs out. It's not right if she didn't get her medicine. On 11/27/2024 at 2:26 PM, V14 stated she was aware of issues with getting opioid medications refilled. V14 stated there is a special process/protocol and sometimes the pharmacy doesn't get the order. V14 stated the Facility staff will call for refills and she will tell them to contact the pharmacy. V14 stated the pharmacy tells them to contact the doctor. V14 stated sometimes a day or two will go by and the patients still has not received their medication. V14 stated she will start the re-ordering process when the resident is down to a week or two left of the medication, but there is not guarantee the pharmacy will fill it early because they have to follow regulations. The Facility's Controlled Substance Prescription Policy dated 10/25/2024 documents, Before a controlled drug can be dispensed, the pharmacy must be in receipt of a clear, complete, and signed written prescription from a person lawfully authorized to prescribe. A chart order is not equivalent to a prescription for controlled drugs. Therefore, the prescriber issuing the chart order must also provide the pharmacist with a valid prescription. The written prescription may be faxed to the pharmacy for long-term care facility residents. It continues, The prescriber and/or nurse are contacted for direction when delivery of a medication will be delayed or the medication is not or will not be available. It continues, If only one refill remains (C111-Vs?) or only a partial fill quantity remains (C11) the pharmacy will simultaneously dispense the remaining refill, contact the facility to verify the continuation of the medication is necessary and if necessary proactively seek out a new, complete prescription from the prescriber for future use. If a prescription is not obtained by the pharmacy before the medication would be 'due again', the facility is notified. In this situation, the facility may be asked to contact the prescriber for a new prescription prior to the medication running out.
