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] 10:48 AM R7 stated he knows other residents are using drugs in the facility because he
recognizes the abnormal behaviors from drug use. R7 stated he recognizes these behaviors because he
used to be a drug addict. R7 stated when he sees this it does tempt him to abuse drugs.
R7 is a [AGE] year-old male with diagnosis not limited to history of Schizophrenia, Depression, Suicidal
Ideations, a History of Suicidal Behavior, Crohn's Disease, Blindness of Left Eye, and Encounter for
Palliative Care. R7 was admitted to the facility [DATE].
2.) R12 is a [AGE] year-old female with diagnosis not limited to history of Epilepsy, Restlessness and
Agitation, Psychotic Disorders with Delusions, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Generalized
Anxiety Disorder. Recurrent Major Depressive Disorder, Psychoactive Substance Abuse Disorder. R12 was

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.

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.

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

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].

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
