This survey cited 12 deficiencies, 1 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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of concern log and report, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure a resident was treated with respect and dignity. This affected one (Resident #4) of three residents reviewed for respect and dignity. Findings included: Medical record review revealed Resident #4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to lymphedema, diabetes, neuropathy, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Review of the facility's concern log and report dated 10/31/24 revealed Resident #4 reported to the Ombudsman that Agency Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #545 was engaging in a political view conversation and the resident had asked him to stop the conversation during care. The CNA had also stretched the resident's leg too far during care. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #153 spoke to CNA #545 and he recalled having a conversation months ago about politics but be thought they were just having fun because how blown up it all was now. The ADON educated the CNA not to provide care or engage with the resident and to assign another staff to his room assignment and education was provided to the CNA on 10/31/24 and 11/01/24 to avoid offensive conversations particularly religion/politics. There was no evidence the concern regarding the resident's leg being stretched was addressed. Review of Resident #4's progress notes dated 09/07/24 to 11/07/24 revealed no evidence of any incident involving Resident #4's and CNA #545 was documented. Interview on 11/05/24 at 7:07 A.M., 11/06/24 at 7:42 A.M., and 11/13/24 at 7:30 A.M., with Resident #4 revealed an Agency CNA (CNA #545) did not treat him with respect and dignity recently and the facility permits the Agency CNA to work. The resident reported CNA #545 was providing care to him and was making comments about his music and saying the singers were witches, Satan, and belonged to cults. He made inappropriate comments about a singer. Then he started on him about voting for (a said presidential candidate). Resident #4 reported he kept telling CNA #545 he didn't want to discuss politics, and the staff member kept on and on and asking him if he was (a said presidential candidate) and told him he better not vote for (a said presidential candidate). CNA #545 then pulled his leg up to wash under it which was a very uncomfortable position for the resident and caused him pain the rest of the day. He has never had anyone left his leg to wash under it. Staff usually have him roll to his side to wash the back side of his body. The resident had reported his concerns to the Ombudsman and the ADON came and spoke to him. He told the ADON he preferred that CNA #545 not provide care to him anymore and the ADON kept asking if the facility hired CNA #545 full time, would he permit the CNA to provide care to him. The resident reported the ADON kept asking him the same question and he (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of the facility concern log, review of a facility soft file, interviews, and policy review the facility failed to ensure timely and appropriate efforts were implemented to achieve resolution regarding Ombudsman, resident representatives, and/or resident concerns.

The Ombudsman reported she tried reaching out to the new Director of Nursing (DON) however she has not been able to talk with her because she was either busy or in a meeting. The residents were still voicing concerns with not receiving fresh water, bed linens, dietary concerns, etc. as of today. The Ombudsman was having another care conference today with the facility due to Resident #68's family concerns from 09/17/24, that still have not been addressed to the family's or her satisfaction. She had requested Corporate Staff to attend this meeting as well. The facility was not addressing resident concerns she has reported over the last few months. 2.

Interview on 11/12/24 at 10:14 A.M., 12:29 P.M., and 5:09 P.M., with the DON revealed an Agency Nurse (ARN #700) worked Friday (11/08/24) night 6:00 P.M. till Midnight and then returned at 6:00 A.M. Saturday (11/09/24) until 2:00 P.M., when suspicious behavior was reported to her. ARN #700 had slept in a vacant resident room Friday night without permission from the facility. Dietary staff had also reported concerns to the Administrator regarding the ARN's behavior. The facility had the ARN reconcile medication, and no discrepancies were noted at that time. Resident's started voicing concerns with medications. The facility didn't want to alert the Agency staff to any concerns because they didn't know how she would react, so the DON was going to call the emergency medical service (EMS), however the nurse left prior to her calling the EMS. The facility called the police and called the Agency company to notify the company of their concerns. She cancelled the Agency schedule to return on 11/10/24. The Agency staff called the facility inquiring why her shift was cancelled for 11/10/24. The DON reported she returned ARN #700's call and tried to get information (location) from her to report the police. The Agency nurse was to have a drug screen yesterday (11/11/24) but the facility has not received the results of the drug screen at this time. The Agency staff did not have a drug screen done immediately due to there was no place to complete the drug screen. The facility was going to meet with the physician/Medical Director today to discuss the issue. The Agency company was to get a written statement from the Agency staff member as well. The investigation was still on-going however the facility had identified 22 medication errors. The facility had not notified the Board of Nursing or Pharmacy because they wanted to wait until the investigation was completed. Interview on 11/13/24 at 1:51 P.M., with Dietary Aide (DA) #701 revealed on Saturday (11/09/24) ARN #700 was in the hall looking for the biohazard room. DA went to show ARN where the biohazard room was located. The nurse placed her trash in the biohazard ben and then she fell back against the wall and slid down the wall and her eyes rolled back into her head. The nurse then stood up and asked where a resident was so she could administer her medications. The DA directed the nurse to the resident. The nurse gave the resident her pills whole, and she required her pills to be crushed. The resident still had the whole pills in her mouth and the nurse left. The DA went and got the resident a shake so she could swallow her pills. The DA told a Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA) #143 what happened, and she advised the DA to report her concerns to the nurse (LPN #114) The ARN was fine at the beginning of the shift. The DA also called the Administrator to report the incident. The staff started counting narcotic and residents started complaining they never got their medications. The staff tried to keep ARN in the building, but the nurse must have overheard staff talking about calling the police and she said, I'm not staying. Staff was worried for resident safety and there were several kids who play on the street near the facility. They didn't want ARN #700 driving. Interview on 11/13/24 at 2:35 P.M., with LPN #114 revealed ARN #700 worked Friday (11/08/24) 6:00 P.M to midnight and returned the next day (11/09/24) at 6:00 A.M. and was to work till 6:00 P.M. During morning report the nurse kept talking about how tired she was. ARN #700 passed her medication on the front hall and went back to the back hall to pass medication. CNA #130 had reported that ARN #700 was not acting right and was nodding off at the nurse's station. Around 1:00 P.M. LPN #114 called the DON and wanted to know what she wanted her to do. LPN #114 reported originally, she didn't witness the nurse nodding off, but after talking with the DON she noticed the nurse nodding off and a family member noticed the nurse nodding off and was inquiring what was going on. She still thought ARN #700 was just tired. She was directed to pull LPN #503 who was working as an aide to replace ARN #700. She told ARN #700 that they were over staffed and since she worked last night she (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365770 If continuation sheet Page 14 of 43 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 365770 B.

F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some could leave. ARN #700 reported she was staying till at least 2:00 P.M. LPN #114 reported it was already 1:40 P.M., so she instructed ARN #700 to do narcotic count and give report and it would be around 2:00. ARN #700 took off and went to the bathroom and didn't' give LPN #503 the keys to the medication cart. The next thing they knew ARN #700 was on the other side building counting with LPN #103. LPN #103 only saw a date that was wrong but no discrepancy in the count. Then later when herself and LPN #103 were reconciling narcotics LPN #103 realized four pills were gone for Resident #12 and other issues. Residents started voicing concerns they didn't receive medications. She tried to keep ARN #700 from driving, but the nurse reported Honey, I'm fine. ARN #700 would not make eye contact with her. Interview on 11/18/24 at 7:27 A.M., with Resident #31 revealed she had concerns last week ARN #700 didn't give her prn Oxycodone. The medication the nurse gave her tasted metallic which was not normal. She had reported her concerns to CNA #124, which she must have reported to the DON. The resident reported she trusted ARN #700 was going to give her the correct medications. Interview on 11/18/24 at 3:28 P.M., with the DON and CN #116 confirmed there was a breakdown in the system to prevent drug diversion. The facility could not determine ARN #700 had misappropriated the medication, however the facility could confirm there were narcotics that were missing. The DON and CN #116 confirmed ARN #700's written statement was not obtained until 11/13/24 and she was not drug screened until 11/12/24, which was three days after the allegation/suspicion. The Board of Nursing and Pharmacy were not notified until 11/15/24. The facility had originally identified eight residents that narcotics were misappropriate, however three more residents were identified after the investigation was completed and 46 residents with medication/treatment errors. Review of the facility's policy titled Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation dated 01/01/24 revealed the facility provides protection for the health, welfare and rights of each resident by developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident property. Misappropriation means the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful, temporary or permanent, use of a resident's belongings or money without the resident's consent.

F 0606 Not hire anyone with a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on personnel file review, review of the facility Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) log, review of employee time sheets, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure staff were not permitted to work in a direct care capacity with a disqualifying offense. This had the potential to affect all 72 residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings included: An anonymous concern made on 11/12/24 revealed the Administrator employed staff with criminal backgrounds (felony). This concern was investigated as part of the onsite complaint survey. Review of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #702's application dated 08/12/24 revealed CNA #702 had checked yes to having been convicted or pled guilty to a crime. The CNA documented on the application she had a felony on 07/07/24 in (location) county. The CNA's at the facility work history included she worked as an CNA in a skilled nursing facility from 12/23/23 until 07/03/24. Review of the facility BCI log dated 04/17/24 to 11/11/24 revealed CNA #702 was hired on 08/13/24 and the BCI was submitted on 08/13/24. There was no documented evidence when the BCI report was received, however the background check was documented as being completed on 08/29/24. The log noted the employee was not hired using the personal character standards. The log further noted the employee was terminated for a disqualifying offense that required termination. Review of CNA #702's time sheet revealed the employee worked (providing direct resident care) on 09/08/24 from 6:00 A.M. to 6:15 P.M. and on 09/09/24 from 5:45 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. (after BCI results were completed and the employee was determined to have a disqualifying offense that required termination). Interview on 11/18/24 at 4:42 P.M., with the Administrator confirmed the BCI log did not indicate when the facility received the BCI results, however the log indicated the check was completed on 08/29/24. The facility was unable to provide written evidence as to when the results were actually received. The Administrator confirmed CNA #702 worked on 09/08/24 and 09/09/24 after the BCI was completed on 08/29/24 with a disqualifying offense that required termination. The Administrator also verified CNA #702 documented on her application she had been convicted of or plead guilty to a felony on 07/07/24. Review of the facility's policy titled Background Screening Investigation dated 11/2015 revealed the facility conducts employment background screening checks, references, and criminal conviction investigation checks on direct access employees. Should the background investigation disclose any misrepresentation on the application form or information indicating that the individual had been convicted of abuse, neglect, mistreatment of individuals, or theft of property, the applicant would not be employed and/or would be terminated from employment.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of controlled drug receipts, review of the medication administration audit report, review of controlled medication shift change logs, review of staff schedules, review of the facility investigation, review of a self-reported incidents (SRI), interviews, and policy review the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of misappropriation. This affected two resident (#51, #56) of five residents reviewed for misappropriation. The facility census was 72. The facility identified eight residents affected by misappropriation (#7, #12, #13, #16, #21, #22, #31, and #37). Residents Affected - Few Findings included: 1. Medical record review revealed Resident #51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of the mouth and tongue, dysphagia, and gastrostomy. Review of Resident #51's medication administration record (MAR) and orders dated 11/2024 revealed the resident was ordered Oxycodone 10 milligrams (mg) one tablet via nasogastric (NG) tube every four hours (midnight, 4:00 A.M., 8:00 A.M., noon, 4:00 P.M., and 8:00 P.M.). On 11/07/24 Agency Registered Nurse (ARN) #700 administered an Oxycodone 10 mg at midnight, 4:00 A.M., 8:00 A.M., noon. On 11/09/24 ARN #700 administered one dose of Oxycodone 10 mg at 8:00 A.M.

The controlled medication sift change log was not a part of the facility's investigation. Review of Resident #56's statement dated 11/09/24 revealed the resident reported she was unsure if she receives her medication as ordered. There was no evidence of a follow up interview. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 11/13/24 at 2:35 P.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #114 revealed on 11/09/24 there was an incident with ARN #700 and the ARN left around 2:00 P.M. Residents were voicing they didn't receive medication and when staff reconciled the controlled medication counts, they found discrepancies. Resident #56 had requested to talk to the Agency nurse because she thought she gave her a Melatonin instead of her Ativan. LPN #114 reported Resident #56 was alert and oriented and knew her medications. Interview on 11/13/24 at 4:23 P.M. and 11/18/24 at 8:39 A.M. with Resident #56 confirmed on Saturday 11/09/24 she didn't receive her as needed Ativan upon request from the tall agency nurse.

F 0626 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few At 7:48 P.M. the Unit Manger Consultant spoke to the Administrator again at the nursing facility and she reported they had sent out referrals (to other facilities) and were awaiting acceptance. The Administrator recommended referrals to a home in Cleveland. Review of Resident #1's hospital history and physical dated 10/10/24 revealed per the emergency room the resident was no longer able to return to the nursing facility. The sister was at bedside and felt this had caused more confusion for the resident. She also felt the resident receive adequate help at the facility. Work-up in the emergency room thus far was unremarkable. Case management was consulted for placement. His mood was appropriate, and he was calm and cooperative. He was hungry. Review of Resident #1's hospital social service note dated 10/14/24 revealed there was a court hearing regarding if the resident's immediate discharge notice was appropriate. Review of the hearing officer results dated 10/19/24 revealed on 10/10/24 the Ombudsman had filed an emergency appeal to challenge the facility discharge notice. The primary challenge made by the Ombudsman on Resident #1's behalf to the discharge was that the nursing home failed to adequately prepare for a safe and orderly discharge of Resident #1. The Ombudsman asserted that there was no true emergency to justify an emergency discharge, and that Resident #1 was entitled to a 30-day Discharge Notice and a discharge to a place that would accept him and meet his health care and safety needs. The Ombudsman also contends the hospital where Resident #1 was discharged was incapable of meeting Resident #1's health care and safety needs. The Ombudsman asserted that hospital was a short-term hospital, not appropriate for long-term care, and therefore, not capable of meeting Resident #1's health care and safety needs. According to the testimony of a Social Worker at the hospital, Resident #1 was not able to be admitted to the psych unit because he did not meet the admission criteria of indications, he was not homicidal or suicidal. The hospital was ready to discharge Resident #1 because there was no further care they could have provided him. The nursing home facility believed they had exhausted all available options to address and care for Resident #1's behavioral issues. Before a facility may involuntarily transfer or discharge a resident, the facility must provide written notice to the resident and the resident's representative. The written notice must include the information mandated by Ohio law. Normally, the notice must be provided a least thirty days in advance of the transfer or discharge, unless certain specified circumstances exist. In the matter of the discharge of Resident #1 the Immediate Discharge Notice was provided to the resident and his representative/sister on October 10, 2024, the same day he was discharged to the hospital. The reason for not providing a thirty-day notice in advance of the discharge was listed in the Notice as An emergency exists in which the safety of individuals in the home is endangered. An issue was noted as to whether giving the resident and his representative/sister notice of his discharge just hours before he was transported to the hospital meets the statute's requirement that the notice shall be provided as many days in advance of the transfer or discharge as is practicable. A notice to transfer or discharge served on a resident less than twenty-four hours before discharge would not be in compliance with the language. There was little or no evidence presented by the nursing facility to sufficiently establish that an emergency existed on 10/10/24 that endangered the safety of individuals in the home to justify providing the resident and his representative a few hours' notice, at most, that resident was being immediately discharged and removed from facility. The nursing facility failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that its Immediate Discharge Notice complied with O.A.C. 3701-61-03(A), and R.C. 3721.16(A)(1).

F 0626 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Residents and staff at a skilled nursing facility such as nursing facility have the right not to have their safety threatened or endangered by anyone. Disruptive or agitated behavior by a resident, however, may not be adequate alone to justify a discharge from a facility. Skilled nursing facilities which should have the experience and ability to address such behaviors. A facility should have a comprehensive care plan with input from mental health professionals when needed to address the particulars of the behavioral status of a resident. A facility should ameliorate behavior problems exhibited by a resident as best it can before proposing to discharge or transfer the resident. The facility did not include any reports or assessments from Psych of Resident #1's behaviors or care plans. There were indications in the progress notes that beginning on 10/08/24 there were orders to administer medications to address the resident specific behaviors, i.e. Ativan, Exelon Transdermal Patch, Vimpat, Quetiapine Furnarate, Risperdal, and finally IM Haldol. But the resident was discharged from nursing facility within approximately 72 hours after readmission, with little time to determine whether these medications or other clinical methods would be successful. The location proposed in the Discharge Notice to discharge Resident #1 does not comply with State requirements (at O.A.C. 3701-61-05(A)) because there was inadequate preparation to ensure a safe and orderly discharge from skilled facility. It was significant that the hospital would not keep the resident because it was unable or unwilling to meet Resident #1's applicable health care and safety needs. The licensed social worker employed at the hospital, testified that Resident #1 was only admitted to the hospital because the skilled nursing facility refused to take him back. She further stated that technically the resident should be discharged from the hospital right away. To provide adequate preparation to ensure a safe and orderly transfer or discharge of the resident there should be a plan formulated prior to the transfer or discharge. If skilled nursing facility had a discharge care plan in anticipation of Resident #1's discharge, the facility did not describe or present it at the hearing. Ideally the development of the plan would include participation from the resident's representatives and/or family members and would address the resident's orientation and adjustment to the alternative living location. There was nothing in the records presented by the nursing facility which evidence that physician or any psychologist or psychiatrist justified or agreed with facility's decision to immediately discharge and transfer the resident to the hospital. The facility failed to show by a preponderance of the evidence that prior to the immediate discharge of Resident #1 on October 10, 2024, the facility adequately prepared the resident to ensure a safe and orderly transfer and discharge to a facility that was obligated to have accepted Resident #1 and was able to meet Resident #1's mental health care and safety needs. Interview on 11/05/24 at 8:24 A.M. with the Ombudsman revealed Resident #1 was improperly discharged from the facility on 10/10/24. The resident had been re-admitted on [DATE] and had an incident on 10/09/24 (entered a resident room and threw a dresser drawer), however there was no incident on 10/10/24 that warranted an emergency discharge. The notice provided to the family indicated an immediate discharge or until he could be placed in a safe environment. On 10/10/24 the facility transferred the resident to the hospital; however, he was not admitted originally, but since the facility refused to permit the resident to return, the hospital had to keep him until the 10/18/24 when they found alternative placement for him.

F 0626 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm however at that time the resident's sister was afraid to have him return to the facility for fear they (the facility) would just discharge him again. The sister tried to help and would come in and sit with him because the facility reported they didn't have enough staff. The Ombudsman revealed the Administrator just handed the resident's sister a discharge notice and told her they called the squad to take him to the hospital without any type of notice. The Ombudsman felt the resident fell through the cracks. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 11/06/24 at 11:02 A.M., with Resident #1's sister revealed she was not aware the facility was going to transfer her brother to the hospital on [DATE] or give him a discharge notice until she had stopped by the facility to drop of some papers that she had to sign for her brother's admission and to visit. When she arrived the administrator handed her the immediate discharge notice, a bed hold paper with zero days remaining, and a transfer notice and told her the ambulance was on the way to get her brother. The sister stated, the facility dumped her brother at the hospital. The emergency room wanted to send him back a few hours later but the facility would not take him back. The resident had to stay in the hospital for a week before the case manager could find her brother placement at another facility. The sister revealed the facility had been trying to push him out since August 2024 and kept giving her the run around. The facility would call her to come and sit with her brother because they didn't have enough staff to provide care to him. She felt like she was a babysitter. They were supposed to provide one on one care, but they only did it if they had the time and staff. The staff would refuse to provide care to him and would say he stunk or he was gross. The facility the resident was at now had someone from Medicaid who comes and sits with him. The facility was supposed to arrange that for her brother, but they never did. The resident has dementia and was scared to death and with his communication barrier, due to having larynx cancer, he was not able to communicate with staff and would get agitated. The facility didn't try to communicate appropriately with the resident. The resident would get frustrated because he could not find his room or communicate with the staff. During the interview, the sister shared she had appealed the discharge notice that had been issued, and the judge ruled in their favor but she didn't feel the facility would treat her brother any better and would just issue another discharge notice and not try to rehabilitate the resident. She felt the facility just wanted him out. The sister did indicate the location of the new facility where the resident was residing was inconvenient for the family due to being an hour away and they can't visit as much. When he lived at this facility, it was convenient as she lived near by and could visit often. Interview on 11/06/24 at 1:33 P.M. with the hospital licensed social worker (LSW) revealed the facility had dumped the resident in the emergency room in October 2024. The resident had been seen by psych and deemed not appropriate for admission, nor did he need psych treatment. When the hospital went to discharge the resident back to the facility, they were told they would not accept him back and she was referred to speak to the Administrator. The Administrator would not return her calls nor did the facility assist in finding alternative placement for the resident. The resident had to stay at the hospital until she could find placement. The LSW reported she was part of the hearing that was in favor of the resident but the resident had not returned to the facility for treatment since.

Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, interview, and policy review the facility failed to implement an effective pain management program, including the administration of scheduled and as needed opioid medication for Resident #7. Residents Affected - Few Actual Harm occurred on 11/09/24, when Resident #7, who was identified with chronic pain and a new onset of acute pain related to a fall resulting in a fractured sternum, did not receive her scheduled or as needed Percocet (narcotic pain medication) as requested, resulting in uncontrolled pain that affected the resident's ability to participate in activities of daily living and required the administration of a one-time emergent dose of Percocet to re-gain control of the resident's pain. This affected one resident (#7) of five residents reviewed for pain. Findings included: Record review revealed Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic pain, diabetes, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel, cervicalgia, muscle spasm, and chest pain. Review of Resident #7's pain care of plan, initiated on 05/10/21 and revised 04/16/24, revealed the resident had pain related to peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, osteoporosis, gastric reflux disease, muscle spasms, cardiac disease, restless leg syndrome, bilateral knee and rib pain, and carpal tunnel release. Interventions included encourage to request pain medication before pain becomes severe, offer analgesics per physician order, and attempt non-pharmacological intervention prior to administering medications. Review of the October 2024 physician's orders revealed an order (dated 07/24/24) for the narcotic pain medication, Percocet 5/325 milligrams (mg) one tablet twice daily for chronic pain. Review of Resident #7's annual Minimum Date Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had taken scheduled and as needed pain medication.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Review of Resident #7's progress note dated 11/04/24 at 4:11 P.M., revealed the resident denied worsening pain or discomfort associated with (her) sternum fracture at this time. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #7's provider note dated 11/08/24 revealed the resident was seen for a follow up on chronic conditions including pain and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The note revealed the resident's pain was controlled with Percocet, Tylenol, Voltaren gel, and muscle rub. The note also reflected the resident's pain was exacerbated due to a recent fall and sternal fracture. The resident started Percocet 5/325 twice daily on 07/28/24 and Percocet 5/325 mg every eight hours as needed for 30 days on 10/26/24 for better control which had been helpful. Further review of the provider note revealed the resident was seen today in her room and reported her chronic pain continued to be exacerbated due to the recent fall and sternal fracture. The resident reported the addition of as needed Percocet has been helpful at bringing her pain to a tolerable level. No noted adverse effect of additional pain medication availability. Resident reported it was difficult to take a deep breath due to the pain associated with it (the sternal fracture). Review of Resident #7's undated Percocet control sheet revealed on 11/09/24 Registered Nurse (RN) #700 (a contracted agency staff nurse) had signed out Percocet 5/325 mg at 7:11 A.M., 11:00 A.M., and 12:00 P.M. (each time a narcotic is removed from the double locked narcotic drawer, the number assigned to the pill removed from the bubble pack is documented on the narcotic control sheet in order to quickly identify the number of narcotics contained in that bubble packet are remaining according to the narcotic control sheet and account for removed doses of the narcotic medication). Review of Resident #7's orders and Medication Administration Records (MAR) dated 11/2024 revealed the resident was ordered Percocet 5/325 mg one tablet by mouth twice daily upon rise (6:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M.) and bedtime (6:00 P.M. to 10 P.M) and as needed every eight hours for pain. RN #700 documented she administered the rise dose of Percocet 5/325 mg on 11/09/24. There was no documented evidence on the MAR that the as needed Percocet was administered on 11/09/24 (the 11:00 A.M. or the 12:00 P.M. doses as signed out on the Percocet Control Sheet). Further review of the medical record revealed there also was no evidence a pain assessment (numerical pain rating or location of the resident's pain) was completed at the time the prn doses of Percocet were documented on the narcotic sheet. Review of the MAR and Percocet Control Sheet revealed a one-time dose of Percocet 5/325 mg was administered on 11/09/24 at 3:08 P.M for pain assessed to be rated a 10 out of 10. However, review of Resident #7's progress notes revealed no documentation the resident was having increased pain on 11/09/24 resulting in the one-time order of Percocet 5/325 mg. Interview on 11/12/24 at 9:00 A.M. and 10:02 A.M. with Resident #7 revealed she didn't get several of her scheduled morning medications on Saturday 11/09/24 which included a scheduled pain pill.

The resident reported she could not get out of bed most of the day and could not participate in activities because the pain in her sternum was so severe. Interview on 11/13/24 at 1:56 P.M., with Regional Support Nurse (RSN) #116 confirmed Resident #7 did not get her pain medication on 11/09/24 resulting in increased pain requiring a one-time order for Percocet 5/325 mg to be administered (because RN #700 had documented on the narcotic sheet she had removed three Percocet from the narcotic drawer for Resident #7 but did not document the administration of two of the doses). RSN #116 verified the facility had confirmed Resident #7 had not received her scheduled medication, resulting in a pain rating of 10/10 and the physician had to order a one-time dose since too many doses had already been signed out for Resident #7. Interview on 11/13/24 at 2:35 P.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #600 revealed she had worked dayshift on 11/09/24 and Resident #7, who is alert and oriented and knowledgeable about her medications, reported she didn't receive any pain medications on 11/09/24 (it was after 2:00 P.M. this date) and her pain was not controlled due to not receiving medications for pain, especially with a sternum fracture. The LPN verified the resident's physician had to be contacted for a one-time dose of Percocet for the resident's pain. Review of the facility's policy titled Pain Management dated 08/22/22 revealed the facility must ensure that pain management is provided to residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences. The facility would use a pain assessment tool, which was appropriate for the resident cognitive status, to assist in consistent assessment of the resident's pain.
