interview and record review, the Facility failed to follow their abuse policy by reporting and investigating
allegations of misappropriation for 1 of 3 residents (R3) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 8. Findings
include:R3's Face Sheet documents R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
metabolic encephalopathy and Alzheimer's disease.R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE]
documented R3 was severely cognitively impaired and dependent with transfer. R3's Physician Order dated
5/28/25 documents 5 mg (milligrams) oxycodone, given every four hours.On 12/11/25 at 2:59 PM, V1,
Administrator, stated V6, R3's Family, reported R3 did not receive any of her medications on 11/21/25. V6
reported she watched the video footage from the video camera in R3's room, and R3's nurse never entered
R3's room to give medications. On 12/11/25 at 3:20 PM, V1 stated the Facility did notify her of V6's
allegation of missing medications on 11/21/25, and the nurse in question was V20, Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN). V1 stated she came in and watched the Facility's video footage that night and checked R3's
Medication Administration Records (MARs) which documented the medications had been given. V1 felt the
issue had been resolved and did not report or investigate the allegation.On 12/12/25 at 9:02 AM, V6 stated
R3's nurse, whose identity was unknown, never entered R3's room during her shift, and R3 never received
her medications. The nurse told V6 the oncoming nurse would give R3 her medications. The oncoming
nurse, whose identity was also unknown, told V6 the medications were missing and had been documented
as given. One of the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), whose name was unknown, notified V1 of the
situation. V1 stated she would be in the next day to talk to V6, but she never showed up or called.On

another camera a couple feet into the hall. The video footage showed V20 going from room to room and
entering R3's room, but you cannot see which medications were administered. V1 stated she did not report
or investigate this because she watched the video and found it was not substantiated. On 12/12/25 at 2:12
PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated if diversion is alleged, the Facility would notify her or V7, [NAME]
President (VP) of Clinical Operations, and we would investigate it. We would check the counts, check the
cards on the cart, and then we would check the signage on the MAR and on the narcotic book. If we found
a discrepancy, we would investigate further. V2 stated she was not aware of this allegation and asked V1 if
she had notified V7. V1 stated she did not notify V7.The Facility's Abuse Prevention and Prohibition
