This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews the facility failed to have a system in place for monitoring and investigating how illicit drugs got into the facility, to be alerted when illicit drugs enter the facility and to prevent resident use and possible drug overdose. This failure applied to one (R12) of three residents reviewed for supervision and resulted in R12 obtaining and using illicit drugs while in the facility, that led to a drug overdose, requiring the administration of Narcan (opioid reversal agent) and emergent hospital transfer. Findings include: The Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when R12 was administered Narcan for drug overdose while in the facility. V32 (Assistant Administrator) was notified on [DATE] at 1:00PM of the Immediate Jeopardy. The immediacy was removed on [DATE] but noncompliance remains at Level 2 because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. 1.)

On [DATE] at 1:36 PM V18 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) confirmed she responded to R13's room on [DATE] when R13 informed her that something was wrong with R12. When V18 arrived at the room, she observed R12 was unresponsive, laying across R13's bed and V23 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) helped get R12 to the floor. V18 stated she performed a sternum rub on R12, R12 still had a pulse and was slowly trying to open her eyes but she still wasn't responding as normal. V18 stated R12's oxygen levels were dropping so we applied oxygen and once she placed the non-rebreather mask on R12 she had already grabbed Narcan (Opioid Antagonist) just in case. V18 stated she had just talked to R12 at 8:30 or 9 o'clock PM and she wasn't in that condition. V18 stated R12's eyes were rolling into the back of her head and R13 said he thought she had something. V18 stated R12's oxygen level was at like 82%. V18 said she used Narcan because one of the residents said they saw R12 coming out of another resident's room, and she doesn't visit everyone. The only room she ever sees R12 in is her room or in the resident's room she calls her boyfriend. V18 stated when the first Narcan dose was administered R12 slowly came back but not right away. Then when she gave R12 the second dose, her eyes opened, and she came back to us. V18 stated she still had oxygen on R12. By that time the paramedics arrived, and the police came, and they asked R12 in the presence of the paramedics did she take anything or have anything, and she said no it wasn't a pill. V18 stated R12 was asked if it was it a powdery substance that she took and she told the paramedics yes and began throwing up. V18 stated R12 gave the police the name of the resident's room she was in. V18 stated she went with the police to that resident, and he denied having anything. V18 stated the resident was R8 and the police advised they could not search his room because it was illegal. When asked by the surveyor if she or anyone else had R8 tested for drugs V18 stated that on the day of the incident she called V2 (Director of Nursing) and was told the social worker will follow up with R8 in the morning. When asked by the surveyor if any of the administrative or management staff followed up with her and asked any questions about the incident V18 stated on the day of the incident she called and spoke with V2 and called V1 (Administrator) who advised her to notify V24 (Nurse Consultant) and she then notified V24. When asked again by the surveyor if any of the administrative or management staff followed up with her and asked her any questions about the incident V18 stated all three managers did check on her and V23 about their well-being soon after the incident because it was a traumatic experience that she had never been through. V18 stated they gave her the next day off. V18 stated R13 is always in his room, and she has never seen him go out of the facility. V18 stated on that night that R8 was in his room the majority of the night. V18 stated this incident happened at approximately 9:40 PM. V18 stated she had not observed any abnormal behaviors from R8, R12, or R13 that night prior to the incident. V18 stated she is unaware if any drug testing was done on R8. V18 stated V25 (Registered Nurse) was also working during the incident and assisted her.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few On [DATE] at 4:59 PM V27 (Family Member) stated peer pressure, and the environment are triggers for R12's drug use. V27 stated she doesn't know how but R12 will be in the company of not good people and monkey see monkey do with her. V27 does go out with R12, and she monitors her closely and R12 does not use drugs when she's with her. When R12 was in the hospital after her ordeal on [DATE] she received a phone call from the hospital physician that was treating R12, and he said they found her unresponsive. She doesn't know what kind of drug R12 does or how much or what she does. The hospital physician may have mentioned what kind of drug R12 used but V27 couldn't recall. V27 stated the hospital physician informed her that R12 overdosed. R12 was nonresponsive, the paramedics were called, and they had to detox her. No one from the facility contacted V27 to ask any questions about R12's overdose incident. V27 confirmed she found out from the hospital that R12 was there and doesn't recall receiving a phone call from the facility notifying her of R12 being admitted to the hospital. V27 stated she asked R12 how she was able to get drugs while in the facility and R12 sometimes can deflect and not answer questions directly but from what R12 told her it sounds like one of the residents in the facility was able to bring in the drug. V27 stated she is not sure what drug, but she thinks it was heroin. V27's greatest concern is that R12 was unresponsive, it could have been a matter of moments, and if she took just a little bit more of the drug or there was a delay in getting to her, she could have been lights out meaning passed away. V27 stated her concern is she could have lost R12 and if there's a way to prevent drugs from coming in, she would want that. V27 stated R12 said they had to do electric shocking to resuscitate her. V27 stated thankfully R12 didn't die but hopefully it doesn't happen to someone else or another resident's family. V27 stated R12's overdose caused her and V33 (Family Member) a lot of distress. V27 asked what if the nurse hadn't gotten to R12 at the time she did or if there was a minute delay? V27 stated every moment or second is imperative to life in that situation. 3.) On [DATE] at 11:09 AM R8 stated a few weeks ago he was threatened to be put out by V16 (Substance Abuse Coordinator/Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services Coordinator) because he had a verbal altercation with her about not letting him go out on pass. R8 stated V16 told him he was going to be put out. R8 is a [AGE] year-old male with diagnosis not limited to history of Recurrent Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Type Schizoaffective Disorder, Psychoactive Substance Abuse, COPD, Peripheral Vascular Disease, and Prostate Cancer who was admitted to the facility [DATE]. On [DATE] at 1:15 PM V17 (Receptionist) stated R8 had an outside pass and was going out regularly. When asked by surveyor was R8's outside pass privileges removed in the past few weeks, V17 stated R8's outside pass was revoked and she isn't sure why. V17 stated residents are supposed to sign in on a log at the front desk whenever they go in and out of the facility. V17 stated R12 never had an independent pass and always goes out of the facility with family or friends. On [DATE] at 1:23 PM V16 (Substance Abuse Coordinator) initially stated R8's outside pass privileges were revoked due to suspicious behaviors of hanging around other residents. V16 could not provide information on when these behaviors were reported. When asked by surveyor if suspicious behavior is documented, V16 stated it depends on if a resident's name keeps coming up or if she keeps hearing their name brought up involving behaviors. V16 stated she followed up on the report about R8's suspicious behavior of hanging around people by asking him what's going on and who he's been hanging around etc. and his response was nothing was going on. At the time of the survey R8's progress notes from [DATE] did not include any behavioral documentation concerning drug use.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few R12's progress notes from [DATE] and the facility's resident reception log dated [DATE] do not document any record of R12 leaving the facility on that date. However, the resident reception log dated [DATE] does document that R8 left the faciity on [DATE] shortly after 9AM. On [DATE] at 1:47 PM V10 (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services Director) stated when residents leave the facility independently it is documented in the resident log kept at the front desk. V10 stated if Narcan (Opioid Antagonist) is used on a resident, and it is effective or if they were hospitalized related to an overdose that should be communicated to the Director of Nursing and V16 (Substance Abuse Coordinator) because she is the substance abuse coordinator. V10 stated she is not aware of R12 engaging in any substance use while in the facility. On [DATE] at 2:44 PM when asked by the surveyor if there was an investigation regarding staff's documented report of R12 being hospitalized for an overdose, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated he doesn't have an investigation for R12's overdose incident because they said she overdosed but couldn't specify what it was. V2 stated that he did not see the paperwork from the hospital with any information on what substances were involved. V2 said you can talk to the patient and ask about the overdose, but you can't just accuse people based on allegations; and you have to be careful to accuse people. If an overdose is an admitting diagnosis for a resident this should be investigated. People overdose on a lot of stuff but most commonly drugs. The facility should follow up and ask for the toxicology result if there is a report of an overdose for a resident. V2 agreed it is standard practice to obtain hospital paperwork when residents return from the hospital. It is important to follow up on this situation to ensure the patient is safe and possibly remove the source to prevent reoccurrence. On [DATE] at 4:10 PM R8 stated he was drug tested within a day of a female resident reporting that he gave her some drugs. On [DATE] at 2:11 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated Narcan (Opioid Antagonist) is used when there is a suspected overdose. V2 stated Narcan will revive someone even if they don't have drugs in their system. V2 stated Narcan is also effective for Catatonia. V2 stated there are 9000 reasons that someone could become unresponsive and that the use of Narcan depends on the assessment of the patient and it's better to be safe than sorry. V2 stated that in his opinion; in order to suspect someone is under the influence of a substance you have to have the toxicology. If there were any investigations of any incidents they would be included with the reportable investigations, and he doesn't believe there were any reportable investigations for R12 in the month of May. The National Institute on Drug Abuse's Drug Facts page accessed [DATE] documents Narcan (Brand name for Naloxene) is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist. Naloxene has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system. Examples of opioids include heroin. On [DATE] at 3:25 PM, when asked by the surveyor how the facility responds if a resident experiences an overdose while in the facility V26 (Medical Director) stated the facility performs random routine drug testing, they are more vigilant with vitals, and if there are any signs of intoxication, they will drug test them. V26 stated he heard some sort of rumor about residents bringing recreational drugs in the facility and selling it to other residents. V26 stated he met with the administrator last week and discussed this issue and as a result they planned to work on fixing the cameras and doing some undercover investigating to get to the bottom of this. When informed by the surveyor that she was inquiring about a specific resident who was documented as being hospitalized for an overdose incident that occurred while in the facility V26 stated he didn't hear about a specific resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145639 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 15 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 145639 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few having an overdose otherwise they would have been kicked out of the building or it would have been investigated further. When asked by the surveyor if any report of a resident overdosing while in the facility should be investigated, V26 stated 100% this should have been investigated and that's common sense. V26 stated he doesn't know how drugs got in the facility in the first place, and he doesn't expect drugs to be inside the facility. Narcan is just a reversal agent and reverses an opioid overdose and won't do anything for an infection, or pneumonia, or sepsis. If the facility is not investigating an overdose incident that is unacceptable because the facility should be, and something should be done about it. When asked by the surveyor why would it be important to investigate such incidents V26 stated, the facility is a place of rehab, and they should try to prevent these incidences for the purpose of the safety of the residents and the staff. On [DATE] at 10:28 AM V1 (Administrator) stated she did participate in an unscheduled meeting with V26 (Medical Director) and V2 (Director of Nursing) a week ago because they wanted to discuss workflow. V1 stated V26 provided suggestions on how to improve the workflow by asking them to prioritize a list on the residents he needs to see when he comes in. V1 stated V26 did not discuss anything during that meeting about residents bringing drugs in the facility. V1 stated she had not received any concerns about residents having drugs in the facility. V1 stated there's always a speculation about this because of the type of population of residents we have in the facility. On [DATE] at 12:26 PM and 4:07 PM the surveyor requested confirmation as to whether V25 (Registered Nurse) or any other nurse performed drug testing on R8 on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 4:40 PM V32 (Assistant Administrator) advised that V2 (Director of Nursing) would provide this information. As of the time of the survey exit [DATE] the facility had not provided this information. On [DATE] at 11:00 AM R8 stated the next day after R12 alleged he gave her drugs V2 (Director of Nursing) and V16 (Substance Abuse Coordinator) asked him if he gave R12 anything and he told them no. R8 stated he told them R12 asked him for an ice cream sandwich, and he didn't have one and she left. On [DATE] at 11:02 AM V31 (LPN) stated she didn't know much about R12's incident on [DATE] that involved her being hospitalized . V31 stated it happened after she left for the day. V31 stated the next morning she contacted the hospital and was informed that R12 was admitted for an overdose and pneumonia. V31 stated she did not attempt to perform drug testing on R8. When asked by the surveyor if V1 (Administrator), V32 (Assistant Administrator), V2 (Director of Nursing) or V19 (Assistant Director of Nursing) came and asked her any questions about the incident V31 said no. On [DATE] at 2:55 PM V16 (Substance Abuse Coordinator) stated she doesn't recall asking R8 on [DATE] about whether he had any drugs in the facility. When asked by the surveyor if she was involved in any investigation regarding R12 being hospitalized on [DATE], V16 stated she heard bits and pieces about it and spoke with R12 about coping skills and provided her with some which was documented but that's all. 4.) On [DATE] at 11:14 AM R14 stated he has heard about other residents using drugs and 3 or 4 months ago he heard about residents overdosing. R14 is a [AGE] year-old male with diagnosis not limited to history of Single Episode Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Opioid Use, and Accidental Poisoning by Unspecified Narcotics who was admitted to the facility [DATE].

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few On [DATE] at 12:35 PM V16 (Substance Abuse Coordinator) confirmed R12 was admitted with a substance abuse history and was referred to her. V16 stated she sometimes hears about R14 being under the suspicion of bringing drugs in the facility and supplying it. V16 stated approximately 3 months ago a resident who was discharging informed them that there is a resident who grabs drugs that you want and gave a description of a tall dark resident who fit R14's description. V16 stated she overheard this conversation while in the social services office when the resident was on the phone with one of the social-services staff, however she couldn't recall which staff were taking this phone call. V16 stated the resident said he would call back and give a name, but they never called back. V16 stated she is unsure of the resident's name because they were only in the facility for one or two days. V16 stated she doesn't believe she reported this to any of the management staff and they were just waiting on the resident to call back. When asked by the surveyor if there was anyone that should be notified if they received information about residents allegedly bringing in drugs V16 stated the abuse coordinator. When asked by the surveyor if she knows what triggered R12 to use drugs in the past V16 stated R12 just said if she's around certain people or gets involved at parties; and V16 believes that's what lead up to R12 using substances in the past. The facility's list of residents receiving treatment for substance abuse disorders printed [DATE] documents there are currently 52 residents in the facility with active substance abuse disorders receiving treatment including R8, R12, R13, and R14.
