F 0602 Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the Facility failed to ensure misappropriation of medication did not occur for 2 of 3 residents (R6 and R7) reviewed for missing medication in the sample of 8. This past non-compliance occurred from 10/8/2025 to 10/29/2025. Findings include: On 11/19/2025 at 2:52 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, on 10/18/2025 during the day shift the DON was notified by staff nurse that she tried to reorder (R6 and R7's) medication and the pharmacy had told them they had already sent them a supply of 2 cards (sixty doses). (R6 and R7) were both missing medications. There was only one card on file and there should have been two for each of them. Staff were interviewed and all stated they were doing narcotics counts but the sheet showing there were 60 pills vs thirty was not present either, so everyone's count was off, and we did not know until we got ready to reorder the medication. We were not able to locate the medication, and we did replace but the medication was missing. On 11/19/2025 at 3:02 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated, I got a call on 10/18/2025 by the nurse that when she went to refill (R6 and R7's) alprazolam they learned that the pharmacy had sent 60 pills not 30 pills, so we started an investigation to look into the missing meds. On 11/21/2025 at 10:47 AM, V17 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated I was not working the back hall I was working the front hall so when the medication was delivered from the pharmacist, I was the one who signed for it. I got a call from the DON, and she asked me if I had counted the medication when I received it and I told her yes. I also remember there were two cards rubber banded together, and I did sign for the medication and took it back to the Agency nurse (V18 LPN) on the dementia unit. I was not asked to drug test, after they found out some drugs were missing, and they said (V18) was fired because they suspected she was the one taking the drugs. On 11/21/2025 at 11:30 AM, V8 (LPN) stated, I remember (R7) was running low on his medication and I called the pharmacy to reorder. The pharmacy told me that they sent out two cards (60 pills) so he should have 30 more pills, and it was too early. I went and found (V2) she was working the floor to let her know there were issues with missing medication for R7. I guess they did a count and (R6) was missing her medication too. I am not sure if they were able to find out who took the meds. I don't know if anyone was fired. I was not drug tested. 1).

The Facility Narcotic Counting Policy with a revision date of 11/1/2025 documents, Always participate in the counting of the controlled substances at the beginning and ending of your shift. Never say, go ahead without me and I'll sign later. Never leave it to someone else's discretion when you are the one on duty. If you do not observe the medications that you sign as being present, you may be implicated if the medications are later missing. General Procedure for Counting Controlled Substance. Follow your facilities specific guidelines and use their specific log sheet. Obtain sign-out records/logs and keys to the controlled storage compartment. Have partner to assist in the count. Wash hands or use antiseptic foam/gel. Unlock the medication cart. Select container and read the label. State the medication's name and strength. Count the remaining doses. Observe the number of spaced for medication to ensure no medications have been punched out of sequence thus altering the count. If medications are on a card, observe the integrity of the card to make certain it has not been tampered with. Observe the appearance of the pills to identify if they are correct and ensure there has been no tampering or substitution of medications. Determine amount of liquid medication, if appropriate. Verbally state medication count to person with sign-out record. Listen while partner verifies the count. Return container to its proper location. Repeat steps 6 - 14 for each controlled substance. Sign name, time and date of completed count. Lock medication area. Return sign-out log to proper location. Return keys to appropriate person. Procedure for Responding to Errors in a Controlled Substance Count: Obtain sign-out logs and keys to the controlled substance storage compartment. Have partner to assist with the count. Wash hands or use antiseptic foam/gel. Unlock the medication cart. This past non-compliance occurred from 10/8/2025 to 10/29/2025: Prior to the survey date of 11/21/2025, the facility had taken the following actions to correct the noncompliance.
