Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or

**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

had mentally abused him related to the politics and music comments and physically abused him for raising
his leg in a position that caused him increased pain. The facility didn't address his concern regarding the
CNA lifting his leg. The ADON was just concerned about what would happen if they hired the CNA full-time,
according to Resident #4.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 11/05/24 at 8:25 A.M. with the Ombudsman revealed Resident #4 was upset and had reported
concerns to her regarding CNA #545 discussing politics and music views. She had reported the concern to
the Administrator and was told the Agency CNA would not be returning to the facility.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 4:23 P.M., via email with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #4
reported his concern to the ombudsman on 10/31/24 indicating issues with CNA #545 were not acute. The
resident was assessed on 10/30/24 by the ADON and wound doctor and verbalized zero complaints of
pain/discomfort at that time. The CNA provided a statement and education was provided on 11/01/24 and
assignment changes per request. The ADON reassessed the resident on 11/06/24 with the wound doctor.
An allegation of abuse was reported on 11/06/24 and a self-reported investigation (SRI) submitted, and
investigation begun.
Interview on 11/18/24 at 8:42 A.M., with the DON revealed the facility had completed the Abuse
investigation and determined the allegation was not abuse. The Resident had perceived it as a respect and
dignity issue.
Review of the facility's policy titled Customer Service undated revealed every person in the facility deserves
to be always treated with respect and dignity. No matter Who they were before they were here, once they
come through our door, they are our resident or guest, and every staff person will treat them with respect.
Always treat our residents as you would want them to treat you.
Know each person's preference about care and ask them how they would like it done. Treat each person as
an adult no matter what their cognitive function level is. All residents are entitled to self-choice-speak to the
resident respectfully, explaining care as needed and giving the resident the chance to respond and to
refuse. Be as gentle as possible-a resident may have pain, pain on movement, stiffness, fragile skin, etc.

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. This had the potential to affect
all 72 residents residing in the facility.
Finding included:
1. Review of the facility's soft file related to the Ombudsman's concerns revealed on 09/05/24 at 3:00 P.M.,
the Ombudsman had visited, and she was here two weeks ago and had the same issues she had this day.
Today's concerns include a resident was still not getting bologna sandwiches at bedtime, grilled cheese
sandwiches and potatoes were burnt, call lights not being answered timely (worse on weekends), residents
not getting what they asked for with meals, food over cooked, always available items not always available,
and sheets not being changed on shower days. There was no documented evidence who attended the
meeting.
A meeting was held on 10/15/24 that included handwritten notes that Agency staff were not setting up meal
trays, residents not getting milk, concern with changing linens, and call lights. There was no documented
evidence who attended the meeting.
An additional handwritten note with the Ombudsman's concerns dated 10/31/24 revealed they would like to
meet the Director of Nursing (DON). There were concerns with Resident #68 that included receiving
assistance with meal trays, not getting supplements, and barrier cream not always available. On Saturday
(date not provided) residents didn't have new cups of ice water. Staff told residents they didn't have cups.
No fruity pebbles, burnt food, linens not changed on shower days, call lights take 1/2 to one hour to be
answered, issues with Direct TV channels, Resident #4 was uncomfortable about talking about politics with
a staff member. It was not documented who attended the meeting.
Interview on 11/05/24 at 8:25 A.M., with the Ombudsman revealed on 10/15/24 she had requested a
meeting with Corporate Staff due to resident concerns (fresh water, bed linens, call lights, dietary concerns,
medication administration, Hoyer lift education, etc.) she has reported to the facility staff (Administrator and
previous DON, whom now is the Assistant Director of Nursing) and are not being addressed. 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. Review of Resident #68's care conference note in the electronic medical record dated 09/17/24 revealed
concerns (meal tray preferences, boost time frames, medication, and staffing issues) were reviewed with
the daughter, social worker, nursing administration, Administrator, and Ombudsman.
Review of the facility's soft file dated 09/17/24 revealed handwritten notes with a list of concerns including
needs fed at all meals, if daughter not here, sometimes takes 30 plus minutes, if she

eats less than 50% she gets a boost, always gets peanut butter and jelly (PBJ) sandwich with all meals,
doesn't' like lemonade or OJ, never gets water on meal trays, doesn't' get hot tea, weekends no help with
meals and eating, make sure aides notice thing on trays if missing, issues with constipation lately, making
sure medication given daily, laid in bed for four days straight, needs twenty minutes to sit on bedside to
have bowel movement, fresh new cups, floating heels daily, repositioning needs every two hours, missing
two shirt protectors, therapy not updating, prune juice daily, hair washed once weekly, Hoyer lift
training/education, and go to church on Sunday. There was an additional note that was labeled
Ombudsman that indicated no improvement with ice water.
Review of Resident #68's care conference note in the electronic medical record dated 11/05/24 revealed
concerns reviewed included PBJ with all meals, audits to be done for ice water, up and down schedule,
ancillary services, staffing, and boost instead of boost breeze. There was a handwritten note to add a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich (PBJ) to all meals, ice water, up and down schedule, ancillary services,
boost, and night managers.
Review of the facility's soft file dated 11/05/24 revealed handwritten notes with a list of concerns including
boost administration, magic cups not being substituted with mighty shakes, barrier cream availability, break
down on heels, repositioning, education on Hoyer lift, call lights on chair and bed, not getting fresh cups
and water, not getting help with meals, PBJ, still getting Lemonade, staffing issues, and ensure staff do bed
baths instead of waiting on hospice.
Interview on 11/05/24 at 8:25 A.M., with the Ombudsman revealed she had another care conference set up
today for Resident #68 at 2:00 P.M. and had requested corporate staff to attend due to previous concerns
from 09/17/24 involving Resident #68 and other resident concerns from 10/15/24 have not been addressed.
The family had documentation and photos to support concerns. The resident needs assistance with meals
and the family came in and the resident's meal tray was sitting next to her. The resident was supposed to
have a supplement four times a day and it still wasn't being administered, the facility doesn't have barrier
cream for the resident and all the residents had to share one tube of barrier cream. The nurse would give
staff a medication cup with a small amount of barrier cream in it. The resident's daughter had photos of
medication left on her beside table, and concerns medication not administered per orders. There were
concerns of lack of communication with staff. The facility was to put a communication book together for the
agency staff to know the resident's routines and likes but it was never done. The facility just put a turn
schedule in the closet. The dietary staff were not reading the meal tickets and kept giving the resident
lemonade when it's on her dislikes on the meal tickets. The family have concerns with ice water not being
given. The family were told the facility was out of foam cups and the Administrator reported they had some,
but agency staff don't know where they were at. Resident #68's daughter reported there were no cups this
weekend after staff were supposed to be educated on where to find the cups. Resident #68s' family had
concerns with improper use of the Hoyer lift and where afraid staff were going to break the resident's
(recliner) chair. In the September meeting the Administrator was supposed to educate staff on the Hoyer lift
but education was not provided. and said she thought the concern was staff was not washing the resident's
hair. Even after having meetings nothing gets resolved.
Interview on 11/06/24 at 1:30 P.M., with Resident #68's daughter revealed she had a care conference
09/17/24, with the facility and again yesterday (11/05/24) and discussed the same concerns she had in
September. The daughter reported she wasn't asking for much but felt like giving up and just going with it
because it was a losing battle, and it could be worse. The family member shared text messages and photos
from 07/26/24 to present between the Administrator, the DON (who is now the Assistant Director of
Nursing), and herself. The messages included photos of pain patches that had not been

changed for three days, pills found on the floor and bed in the resident's room, etc. The family showed
pictures of meal tray not in reach, call light not in reach, fluids not in reach, heel boots not in-place, heels
not elevated, alternative meals not provided per request, etc. The family also had meal tickets with notes
they had kept supporting photos. The facility keeps sending Lemonade on her meal trays even though her
meal ticket said no lemonade, the meal ticket indicated to provide water with each meal and the resident
doesn't get it. Resident #68 doesn't' get fresh ice water, supplements as ordered, assistance with meals,
nor does staff transfer her safely in a Hoyer lift, and she was afraid they were going to break the resident's
recliner chair.
Interview on 11/06/24 at 3:17 A.M., with Corporate Nurse (CN) #116 confirmed the facility had a general
meeting in October with the Ombudsman to discuss general concerns. The facility had a meeting with
Resident #68's daughter and the Ombudsman and had discussed concerns including assistance with
meals, supplements, barrier cream, heel boots, call light, request to be up in chair, staff training on Hoyer
lift, changing clothes, new chair, PBJ sandwich with each meal, ground meat, staff education on reading
meal tickets, and having more staff on weekends.
CN #116 reported the facility doesn't document every concern in the medical record and there should have
been concern forms completed, however the general meeting in October with the Ombudsman was not
documented on a concern form. She had educated Resident #68's family to report concerns in real time
when the incidents occur to help the facility identify the problem. Some of the resolutions to the family's
concerns were to administer boost four ounces seven times a day with meals and med pass. The facility
ordered barrier cream that can be kept in the resident's room. Before it was a zinc product and could not be
kept in the room. They are going to have two call lights one for the bed and one for the chair to help detect
movement since the resident can't use the call light. Staff would be educated to provide care even if
hospice was coming, staff would be trained on the Hoyer lift, a new broda chair for comfort was ordered by
hospice, and staff would get the resident up more and during times the family requested. The order for the
ground meat was corrected due to it was put in for a one-time order, the resident's meal ticket was updated,
dietary would be educated, and the facility was going to add a weekend manager and/or late-night
manager.
Interview on 11/07/24 at 12:35 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility was currently
working on audits for supplements, unattended medications, meal preferences, ice water, and changing
bed linens after a shower.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 11:09 A.M., with Resident #68's daughter revealed the concerns addressed in
September and on 11/05/24 were still not addressed. The daughter provided photos that the heel boots nor
was the resident's feet elevated while she was in bed over the weekend. The photos showed the boots
sitting in the chair near the bed. The resident still didn't have barrier cream. The staff finally broke her
mom's recliner due to not using the Hoyer correctly. The daughter demonstrated that one staff stands
behind the recliner and leans over of the back of the recliner and grabs the Hoyer lift pad and pulls the
resident back and lets her slide down the back of the recliner. The daughter reported the weight of the staff
member leaning over the back of the recliner and resident's weight on the back of recliner back snapped
the bars on the back of the recliner. The resident didn't get supplements twice over the weekend while she
was visiting. During the last care conference on 11/05/24 her mom was to get seven small cups of boost
(four times a day with her Tylenol and with each meal). She didn't' get fresh water on Saturday. The cup still
had Friday's date and the same smiling face someone had drawn on the cup. The daughter shared a photo
of the resident call light hanging off the bed over the weekend when she arrived. They still haven't brought
the second call light for the recliner/chair as discussed in the meeting on 11/05/24. On Thursday she was
left up six hours and was

Interview on 11/13/23 at 12:15 P.M., with the DON revealed she could not find any staff education regarding
assisting residents with meals, whoever she provided education on 11/11/24 (after surveyor observed
concern with resident not receiving assistance with lunch meal). The DON confirmed Resident #68
medication administration record had missing documentation that the supplements was administered. The
maintenance director added a second call light in Resident #68's room today. There was no documented
evidence staff were educated on the Hoyer lift and the staff did break the recliner over the weekend and the
facility will replace the recline. The DON reported she was not aware staff were not implementing heel
boots or elevating heels and would start audits.
3. 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

Review of unwitnessed statement dated 11/09/24 revealed the DON took a verbal statement from Resident
#7 on 11/09/24 that indicated on 11/09/24 she waited, and waited, and waited for her morning medication
and lunch time came. The nurse (ARN #700) pulled the medication cart and parked it in front of the door.
She took scissors, opened them up (medication packet) she was in the drawer popping staff in her mouth,
looked like it was from the left-hand side where the narcs are. I couldn't tell if she was talking to someone
else because she said, hey girl she took off down the hallway leaving the cart blocking the doorway. My
eyes aren't great. I pushed the cart out of my way. She came back and took the cart up to the nurse's
station, I followed her. She asked if I was going to smoke, and I said no I want my meds. You said you were
going to give me my meds. She gave me my meds. I looked at my meds and my Percocet was not in there. I
didn't say anything to her about my Percocet missing. I know why my Percocet looks like, they are white and
round.

from recently fracturing her sternum she didn't know what to do. The nurse then put something in her bra
and walked away leaving the medication cart in her doorway. The nurse returned and started to walk up the
hallway. She asked the nurse for her meds, and she told her NO. The resident reported she followed the
nurse up the hall because she needed her medications. The nurse finally gave her medication except for
the Percocet. She observed the nurse trying to give another resident the wrong medication and then
another resident reported he didn't get his Neurontin. She knew something was not right, so she reported
her concerns to staff.

ARN #700 had misappropriate controlled medications for eight residents (#7, #12, #13, #16, #21, #22, #31,
and #37). The perpetrator was suspended immediately, residents interviewed and assessed who could
have been affected, staff statements obtained, local police department notified, staffing agency notified.
Alerted by staff that they had concerns with the nurse's demeaner. The nurse was suspended and police
notified. A drug screen was completed with negative results. Investigation was started with resident
interviews where concerns were noted with medication discrepancies with documentation and concerns
with residents stating they did not receive their medications. No witnesses to the event or concerns. Nurse
denied any wrongdoing. All resident responsible parties were made aware of the situation with no further
concerns. Allegations reported to the local police department, staffing agency, medical board, board of
nursing, and board of pharmacy.
As a result of the investigation the facility cannot conclude misappropriation occurred. Due to the process
breakdown and lack of documentation the investigation was inconclusive at this time. The perpetrator stated
no wrongdoing and had negative drug screen results.
Review of the DON's undated timeline for 11/09/24 revealed at 1:19 P.M. she was notified by LPN #114 that
ARN #700 was falling asleep. At 1:24 P.M. the DON spoke to the ADON and agreed to send ARN #700
home. At 2:20 P.M., the DON received notification from LPN #114 that there were medication
discrepancies. The medication count was correct, but concerns with accuracy of how medication were
signed off and resident's were verbalizing not receiving pain medication. At 2:23 P.M., the administrator was
called and discussed calling 911 for evaluation. At 2:30 P.M. ARN #700 was in the facility parking lot. Staff
were directed to get license plate number and at 2:36 P.M. reported to police; At 2:43 P.M. spoke to ARN
#700 but had to hang up related to the police calling back; At 2:48 P.M. the police department phoned the
DON and stated she was no longer at the facility. At 2:49 P.M. the DON phoned ARN #700 back to
determine her location. At 2:53 P.M. the DON called the police department back to communicate. At 2:57
P.M., the DON phoned the corporate clinician to update on the situation and drove to the facility to begin the
investigation.
Review of Resident statements dated 11/09/24 revealed 15 residents voiced concerns they didn't receive
medication as ordered. Resident reported the nurse was sleepy, gripey, firm, giving the impression not to
cross her, argumentative, refusing to recheck blood pressure, and yelled NO when asked to recheck blood
pressure, kept hiccupping like she drank too much alcohol, eyes rolling in her head, talking and laughing to
self, acting strange, acted like she was on cloud nine, out in out space, acting weird, and smart mouth.
Review of LPN #102 written statement dated 11/09/24 revealed she had noticed the agency nurse
appeared impaired and Resident #7 didn't think she received her pain medications. LPN #103 recounted
the narcotics with LPN #102, and they noticed the agency nurse had signed out several doses of Percocet,
however they were not signed out correctly, not dated or timed properly.
Review of LPN #103's written statement dated 11/09/24 revealed the agency nurse approached the nurse
and asked for Tylenol for a headache. LPN #103 gave her Excedrin, and the agency nurse picked up the
Tylenol 500 mg bottle and poured some in her hands and went down the northeast hall. Later when doing
count with LPN #102 in the top of Northeast medication cart we witnessed three Tylenol 500 mg round
white pills. LPN #102 looked them up on her phone to verify.
Review of CNA #131's written statement undated revealed on 11/08/24 the nurse seemed to be sleepy
while doing medication pass. Around 11:30 P.M.-12:00 A.M. Resident #37 came to the desk and asked for
his as needed medication. The nurse told him that she had given him his as needed medication around

8:00 P.M. They started arguing and the resident was very persistent that she didn't get his as needed
medication.
Review of CNA #124's written statement dated 11/09/24 revealed Resident #31 rang her call light and said
she chewed her pill, and it tasted different. In an hour she wanted me to come back and check on her
because she was really worried it wasn't the right pill. The CNA told the other nurse because it really
worried her, and we continued to watch her. Resident #22 thought she didn't get her as needed medication
and wanted the CNA to check with nurse twice. Resident #37 stated he didn't get his as needed
medications.
Review of ARN #700's statement dated 11/13/24 revealed she was writing a statement to address the
recent allegation of medication diversion on 11/09/24 from 6:00 A.M to 2:00 P.M. On the day in question the
night before she had worked 6:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. and had to be back up at 6:00 A.M. to work on the floor.
She was very tired and sleepy the next morning, but she needed to work that shift for an important bill she
had to pay as soon as possible. In hindsight, she didn't get enough rest the night before and should have

full of medications with a little pudding and left. The resident still had pills in her mouth, so the DA gave her
a drink.

Review of ARN #700's drug screen dated 11/12/24 (three days after the incident) and resulted on 11/14/24
revealed ARN's drug screen was negative.
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

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. The
facility would develop and implement written policies and procedures that would prohibit and prevent
misappropriation of resident's property. The facility would provide ongoing oversight and supervision of staff
in order to assure that it polices are implemented as written. Background, references, and credential checks
shall be conducted on contracted temporary staff and consultants. The facility would maintain
documentation of proof that the screening occurred. The facility would assure that the staff assigned have
knowledge of the individual resident's care needs and behavioral symptoms. Reporting all alleged violations

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.

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.
Interview on 11/18/24 at 3:28 P.M. with the DON and CN #116 verified there was an unaccounted-for Ativan
that was removed from the medication cart, no reconciliation of the narcotics completed when ARN #700
left and LPN #503 assumed responsibility of the cart. Lastly, they verified ARN #700 removed the card of
Ativan from the medication cart without a second nurse to witness the removal which is a facility
requirement.
Interview on 11/18/24 at 3:28 P.M., with the DON and CN #116 confirmed the facility didn't identify the
discrepancy with Resident #56's missing Ativan during their investigation, however they would add it to the
misappropriation investigation for ARN #700.
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. An
immediate investigation is warranted when suspicion of abuse, neglect or exploitation, or reports of abuse,
neglect or exploitation occur. Written procedures for investigations include: Identifying staff responsible for
the investigation determining if abuse, neglect, exploitation, and/or mistreatment has occurred, the extent,
and cause; and providing complete and thorough documentation of the investigation.

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).

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.
Following the discharge, an appeal was filed and the resident did win,

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.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 9:29 A.M. with the Administrator confirmed Resident #1 was re-admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and on 10/09/24 he was having behaviors and threw a dresser drawer on another
resident. On the 10/10/24, she issued the resident's sister an immediate discharge notice and transfer
notice. The resident was immediately transferred to the hospital and it was her understanding the resident
was admitted to the hospital. The resident did not return to the facility.
Review of the facility assessment dated [DATE] revealed that the facility provides care

Director of Nursing (DON). The day prior the Surveyor had briefly observed the same two ladies while
walking by the dining room due to Resident #62 didn't have a meal tray and Resident #47 did. The DON
returned to the South dining room with the Surveyor and confirmed Resident #47 was still attempting to
feed Resident #62 her dinner. The DON confirmed there was no staff present and Resident #62 should be
supervised because she was on an altered diet. The DON left the dining room to find staff. The surveyor
continued to observe the two residents and Resident #47 continued to try to feed her tray to Resident #62
and there still was no staff present. The DON was standing by the nurse's station and there were two staff
observed behind the nurse station. The DON asked staff to come to the dining room after they finished their
charting. The DON reported the area on South was not a dining room anymore, however the tables have
not been removed. The facility was going to move the tables and new furniture was ordered.
Interview on 11/07/24 at 8:30 A.M., with the DON confimred Resident #62 should have not been left
unattended in the lounge yesterday (11/06/24) with her lunch tray. The lounge was a dining room, however
it was closed before she started. The new furniture should arrive today and the tables were removed. She
didn't believe the issue was a staffing issue why the resident was left unattended, however it was a staff
being non-compliant.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
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. The assessment noted the resident's pain had rarely
or not at all affected activities of daily living. The resident's pain, at its worst on a scale of 0-10 and in the
last five days, been a three (on a 0-10 scale with 0 meaning no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever)
during the assessment period.
Review of Resident #7's progress note dated 10/23/24 at 2:32 A.M., revealed a Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) reported to the nurse that the resident fell in (her) bathroom. The resident was sitting on her bed
when the nurse walked in. Noted a moderately raised bump to the crown of the head. Tender to touch.
Resident reported neck, shoulders and top of chest feeling sore from being jolted. Resident explained that
she fell asleep on the toilet and woke up when she fell forward and hit her head on the sink. Resident
explained that she got herself back to bed before ringing her call light.
Review of Resident #7's progress note dated 10/26/24 at 11:48 A.M., revealed the resident approached the
nurse and reported she was hurting in her back, chest and she reported something was wrong and wanted
a computed tomography (CT) scan. The resident was transferred to the emergency room.
Review of Resident #7's progress note dated 10/26/24 at 3:55 P.M., revealed the resident returned to the
facility via cot accompanied by paramedics. Resident received a final diagnosis of a closed fracture of the
sternum (breastbone) resulting from her fall that occurred on 10/23/24. New order received for Percocet

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 recently had a fall and fractured her sternum. The resident stated on the morning of 11/09/24
she waited and waited for her morning medication. Finally, RN #700 arrived at her room and put the
medication cart right in front of her door. The nurse left the cart in front of her door but never gave her any
medications. The resident reported she used her good arm and pushed the medication cart out of the way
so she could exit her room. Resident #7 asked the nurse for her meds and RN #700 responded No, I'm
going up the hall. Resident #7 followed the nurse up the hall and

requested her morning medications. The resident stated RN #700 gave her medication, however there was
no Percocet in the medication cup. 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.

Interview on 11/13/24 at 2:12 P.M., with the facility pharmacy (Pharmacist #1000) revealed there would be
no one hour before or after if the facility wasn't using specific times. For example, if a mediation was

much better since the last time the kitchen was surveyed in September and received citations. One day he
didn't even receive a meal tray. The facility uses the excuse the truck didn't come and that was why they

received sausage patties and everyone else received bacon. The cook reported the apple cake was made
in place of the apple muffin. The pureed and mechanical soft diets received sausage gravy because she
didn't have sausage for them. Resident #71 was to receive fruit loops three days a week, however the
facility didn't have fruit loops so [NAME] #200 replaced them with cornflakes.
