Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, facility documentation review, and staff interviews, it
was determined that the facility failed to ensure care and services were provided in accordance with
professional standards of practice that will meet each resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs
for three of three residents reviewed (Residents 1, 2, and 3) which resulted in actual harm as evidenced by
two hospital transfers for seizure activity for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 1).Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled IIA2. Medication Administration-General Guidelines, undated, revealed, in
part, Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the attending physician. The
individual who administers the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR directly
after the medication is given. At the end of each medication pass, the person administering the medications
reviews the MAR (Medication Administration Record) to ensure necessary doses were administered and
documented. In no case should the individual who administered the medications report off duty without first
recording the administration of any medications. If a dose of regularly scheduled medication is withheld,
refused, or given at other than the scheduled time (e.g. the resident is not in the facility at scheduled dose
time, or a starter dose of antibiotic is needed), the space provided on the MAR for that dosage
administration is initialed and coded appropriately. An explanatory note is entered in the record. If two
consecutive doses of a vital medication are withheld or refused, the physician is notified. Review of facility
policy, titled IC4: Ordering and Receiving Controlled Medications, undated, revealed, in part, Schedule II
controlled medications prescribed for a specific resident are delivered to the facility only if a faxed or
original written prescription has been received by the pharmacy. Schedule III, IV and V may also be
dispensed pursuant to a verbal order from the physician. In addition, if medication is needed prior to the
next delivery, the pharmacist may authorize a nurse at the facility to remove a supply of the medication from
the emergency supply in the facility according to policy IC5. In an emergency situation, the provider
pharmacy can accept a telephone order for a schedule II medication. The DEA defines emergency to mean
that the immediate administration of the drug is necessary for the proper treatment of the intended
individual, that no alternative is available and that it is not possible for the prescriber to provide a
prescription for the drug at that time. In no situations will an emergency dispensing exceed a 7-day supply.
An individual resident's controlled substance record is prepared by the pharmacy or the facility for each
controlled substance medication prescribed for a resident. The following information is completed: 1) Name
of resident 2) Prescription number 3) Drug name, strength (if designated), and dosage form of medication
4) Date received 5) Quantity received and 6) Name of person receiving the medication supply. Schedule II
controlled substance medications are reordered when a seven-day supply remains to allow for transmittal
of the prescription to the pharmacist. Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed diagnoses that
included epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures) and
dementia (a

chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders,
personality changes, and impaired reasoning). Review of Resident 1's physician orders revealed orders for
lacosamide (a medication used to manage seizure activity) 100 milligrams give one tablet by mouth every
12 hours. Review of Resident 1's past Controlled Substance Record's for her ordered lacosamide revealed
that 30 tablets were received at the facility on December 29, 2025, and nursing staff began administering
the medication from this package on January 1, 2026, at 9:10 AM. Further review of this record revealed
that the last dose was administered to Resident 1 on January 15, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Review of Resident 1's
January 2026 MAR revealed that she was administered a dose of lacosamide on January 16, 2026, at 8:00
AM, by Employee 1 (Licensed Practical Nurse [LPN]), despite that all available doses of Resident 1's
lacosamide had been administered as of January 15, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Review of a written statement from
Employee 1 on January 28, 2026, revealed that Employee 1 called the pharmacy on January 16, 2026, to
inform them that Resident 1 was out of her lacosamide and it was needed. The statement indicated that the
medication had already been ordered days prior and that the pharmacy indicated that the medication would
be on the next pharmacy delivery. Employee 1 further indicated that she had erroneously charted
administering Resident 1 her January 16, 2026, 8:00 AM dose of lacosamide and was going to correct the
documentation. Further review of Resident 1's January 2026 MAR revealed that her lacosamide was
documented as 16 Hold/See Nurses Note for her January 16, 2026, 8:00 PM dose administration, and her
January 17, 2026, 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM dose administrations. Review of Resident 1's clinical record
revealed a Medication Administration Note dated January 16, 2026, at 8:12 PM, that indicated Resident 1's
lacosamide was on order from the pharmacy. Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed a Medication
Administration Note dated January 17, 2026, at 1:26 PM, that indicated Resident 1's lacosamide was on
back order and pharmacy was notified. Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed a Medication
Administration Note dated January 17, 2026, at 10:26 PM, that indicated Resident 1's lacosamide was not
available, pharmacy was called, and that the medication was on order. Review of Resident 1's clinical
record progress notes revealed a nurse's note written by Employee 2 (LPN) dated January 17, 2026, at
10:40 PM, which indicated that Resident 1 was noted to be having a seizure which lasted from 10:20 PM to
10:26 PM. The note further indicated a call had been placed to the pharmacy earlier in the day regarding
Resident 1's lacosamide and that the pharmacy indicated that the drug would be sent. The note also
indicated that when Employee 2 called the pharmacy again to confirm that the lacosamide would be in the
next pharmacy delivery run (night of January 17, 2026), the pharmacy indicated a script would be needed
to dispense Resident 1's lacosamide. The note indicated that Employee 3 (Registered Nurse [RN]) reached
out to the physician and requested that Resident 1 be sent out to the ER for further evaluation. Review of
Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurse's note written by Employee 3 (RN) dated
January 17, 2026, at 11:20 PM, which indicated that Resident 1 had a seizure that lasted approximately
20-25 minutes. The note further indicated that Resident 1's physician was made aware of Resident 1's
seizure, that her ordered lacosamide was not available, and that Resident 1's physician provided a new
order to send Resident 1 to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Based on review of Resident 1's
progress notes for January 17, 2026, at 10:40 PM and 11:20 PM, it was unclear how long her seizure
lasted.Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes failed to reveal any documentation that
Resident 1's physician was made aware that the facility did not have Resident 1's ordered lacosamide to
administer on January 16 or 17, 2026, (a total of four doses missed) until after Resident 1 suffered a
seizure on January 17, 2026, at 10:00 PM, requiring a transfer to the hospital for evaluation and treatment.

revealed no seizure medications were administered while she was at the hospital. Review of Resident 1's
clinical record revealed that she returned to the facility on January 18, 2026, at 3:16 AM. At that time, the
facility still did not have the required lacosamide medication. Resident 1's lacosamide was ordered to be
administered on January 18, 2026, at 8:00 AM. Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes
revealed a physician's progress note dated January 18, 2026, at 8:41 AM, which indicated that he was
made aware last evening about Resident 1's lacosamide concern and seizure activity. The note further
indicated that there was a concern that Resident 1 may have not gotten the lacosamide since January 11,
2026, and that the physician had issues getting a new script faxed to the pharmacy on the evening of
January 17, 2026, that the facility had no acute medications to administer for seizure and he gave an order
to transfer Resident 1 to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Further review of Resident 1's clinical
record progress notes revealed a physician's progress note dated January 18, 2026, at 8:43 AM, which
indicated that he was called again because Resident 1 had another seizure lasting approximately 20
minutes, that there were no acute medications available at the facility to stop seizure activity, that it was still
unclear if Resident 1 had been receiving her lacosamide or if the pharmacy had delivered it on January 11,
2026, and that he ordered for Resident 1 to be sent to the emergency room again for evaluation and
treatment. Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note written by
Employee 4 (RN) dated January 18, 2026, at 9:00 AM, which indicated that Resident 1 experienced
another seizure from approximately 7:06 AM to 7:23 AM, and that Resident 1's physician was made aware
of her seizure activity, that concerns regarding the Resident's medications were reviewed with Resident 1's
physician, and that Resident 1's physician provided a new order for Ativan 1 milligram intramuscular every
12 hours as needed for seizure activity and was in agreement to send Resident 1 to emergency room again
for evaluation and treatment. The note further indicated that concerns regarding Resident 1's lacosamide
were discussed with emergency medical services staff at time of transfer to the hospital at approximately
7:40 AM. The note indicated that the pharmacy was contacted at approximately 8:40 AM regarding
Resident 1's medication concern and a voicemail indicated the pharmacy was closed, but that an urgent
message was left for the on-call pharmacist at 8:44 AM. Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed that
she returned to the facility on January 18, 2026, at 10:48 AM, and that she received her morning doses of
lacosamide while in the emergency room. Review of facility provided documentation revealed that Resident
1's January 18, 2026, 8:00 PM dose of lacosamide was retrieved from the facility's emergency medication
supply. Review of Resident 1's current Controlled Substance Record for her lacosamide revealed that 60
tablets were received at the facility on January 19, 2026, and the first dose was administered on January
19, 2026, at 8:00 AM. Further review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed that she had no seizure activity
between August 3, 2025, and January 17, 2026, while receiving her medications and suffered two seizures,
resulting in two hospital transfers when the lacosamide was not administered as ordered. During a staff
interview with Employee 9 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) on January 28, 2026, at 1:25 PM, she
confirmed that Employee 1 had erroneously documented administering Resident 1's lacosamide. She
further indicated she had spoken to the pharmacy to get some clarification as to what occurred. Employee
9 indicated that the pharmacy said that the facility had ordered Resident 1's lacosamide on January 12,
2026, and that the pharmacy did have an active script for the medication, but it must have been overlooked
by pharmacy staff and was not filled. Employee 9 also confirmed that there was no documentation in
Resident 1's chart that her physician was notified about the Resident not being able to receive her
lacosamide until after Resident 1 experienced her first seizure on January 17, 2026. During a staff interview

Administrator (NHA), Director of Nursing (DON), and Employee 9 on January 29, 2026, at 3:50 PM, the
DON indicated that she would expect nursing staff to administer a resident's medications as ordered by
their physicians or to notify a resident's physician promptly for further guidance when a medication was not
available to administer. The DON confirmed that facility nursing staff reordered Resident 1's lacosamide on
January 12, 2026, (three days before Resident 1's supply exhausted), and that she would have expected
nursing staff to follow-up with the pharmacy when the medication was not delivered when ordered. She
confirmed that there was no documentation of any notifications to or from pharmacy between January 12
and 17, 2026, regarding Resident 1's lacosamide supply. The DON indicated that the facility does have
lacosamide in their locked electronic emergency medication supply but nursing staff were unable to utilize
this for Resident 1 between January 16 and 18, 2026, because the pharmacy said that they did not have a
current script for the lacosamide and, therefore, would not supply an authorization code to retrieve the
medication from the locked emergency supply. The DON further confirmed that the pharmacy indicated on
January 18, 2026, after a new prescription was provided by Resident 1's physician, that the pharmacy
already had a current prescription for Resident 1's lacosamide and that it was overlooked and, therefore,
the mediation was not refilled when initially ordered on January 12, 2026. The DON indicated that she
would expect nursing staff to reorder a medication when they are down to a five-day supply. The DON
confirmed that she would expect the pharmacy to dispense and deliver medications timely or to notify the
facility immediately if there was an issue with filling a medication order. Review of Resident 2's clinical
record revealed diagnoses that included dementia and anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily
activities). Review of Resident 2's physician orders revealed orders for buspirone (medication to treat
anxiety) 10 milligrams give one tablet every 8 hours, dated January 7, 2026; Tylenol Extra Strength 500
milligrams give two tablets three times a day, dated May 18, 2025; and Xanax (medication used to treat
anxiety) 0.5 milligrams give one tablet every 8 hours, dated December 22, 2025. Review of Resident 2's
January 2026 MAR revealed that on January 11, 2026, her 2:00 PM doses of her buspirone, Tylenol Extra
Strength, and her Xanax were blank. Review of Resident 2's Controlled Substance Record revealed that on
January 11, 2026, her 2:00 PM dose of Xanax was signed out as being administered by Employee 10 (RN).
Review of Resident 2's January 2026 MAR revealed that on January 17, 2026, her 2:00 PM dose of Xanax
was documented as 16 Hold/See Nurses Note. Review of Resident 2's Controlled Substance Record
revealed that on January 17, 2026, her 2:00 PM dose of Xanax was signed out as being administered by
Employee 6 (RN). Review Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a Medication Administration
Note written by Employee 6 dated January 17, 2026, at 2:52 PM, that indicated her ordered Xanax was not
needed. Review of Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note written by Employee
7 (LPN) dated January 17, 2026, at 8:27 PM, which indicated Resident had calling out behaviors and

her 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM doses of Xanax were documented as 16 Hold/See Nurses Note. Review of
Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a Medication Administration Note written by Employee
8 (LPN) dated January 26, 2026, at 8:45 AM, that indicated Resident 2's Xanax was not administered and
awaiting pharmacy delivery. Review of Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note
written by Employee 4 dated January 26, 2026, at 3:34 PM, that indicated Employee 4 contacted the
pharmacy about retrieving Resident 2's Xanax from the emergency medication supply. Employee 4
questioned why they could not administer Xanax 0.25 milligrams two tablets to equal Resident 4's ordered
dose of 5 milligrams, but that the pharmacy indicated that medications must be dispensed as written. The
note further indicated that Employee 4 contacted Resident 2's physician for further orders and that the
pharmacy indicated that the medication would be on the next pharmacy delivery to the facility. Review of
Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note written by Employee 4 dated January 26,
2026, at 4:27 PM, that indicated Resident 2's physician gave a one-time order for Xanax 0.25 milligrams
give two tablets now. Review of Resident 2's current Controlled Substance Record revealed that the
pharmacy filled the Xanax prescription on January 25, 2026, but the Receipt Verification section of the form

at 6:30 PM. During a staff interview with the NHA, DON, and Employee 9 on January 29, 2026, between
3:48 PM and 4:00 PM, the DON indicated that she would expect nursing staff to administer a resident's
medications as ordered by their physicians and complete documentation appropriately. The NHA indicated
that Resident 2's medication packets were audited and that there were no pill pouches still in the cart dated
for January 11 and 21, 2026, and, therefore, the Tylenol and buspirone medications must have been
administered and that the nurses must have failed to complete all the administration documentation of
Resident 2's medications on those dates. The DON indicated that she would expect nursing staff to reorder
a medication when they are down to a five-day supply. The DON confirmed that she would expect the
pharmacy to dispense and deliver medications timely or to notify the facility immediately if there was an
issue with filling a medication order. The DON confirmed that she would expect staff to complete the
Receipt Verification on a resident's Controlled Substance Record. At the interview, no additional information
was provided regarding the conflicting documentation of Resident 2's January 17, 2026, 2:00 PM, dose of
Xanax or information as to when nursing staff reordered Resident 2's Xanax from the pharmacy. Review of
Resident 3's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia, hypertension (high blood pressure),
and unspecified cough. Review of Resident 3' s physician orders revealed orders for albuterol sulfate
nebulization solution 2.5 milligrams/ 3 milliliters 0.083% administer 3 milliliters orally via nebulizer every four

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on facility policy review, clinical record reviews, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services to accurately acquire, receive, dispense, and administer
drugs to meet the needs of each resident for two of three residents reviewed (Residents 1 and 2), which
resulted in actual harm as evidenced by two hospital transfers for seizure activity for one of three residents
reviewed (Resident 1).Findings include:Review of facility policy, titled IC4: Ordering and Receiving
Controlled Medications, undated, revealed, in part, Schedule II controlled medications prescribed for a
specific resident are delivered to the facility only if a faxed or original written prescription has been received
by the pharmacy. Schedule III, IV and V may also be dispensed pursuant to a verbal order from the
physician. In addition, if medication is needed prior to the next delivery, the pharmacist may authorize a
nurse at the facility to remove a supply of the medication from the emergency supply in the facility
according to policy IC5. In an emergency situation, the provider pharmacy can accept a telephone order for
a schedule II medication. The DEA defines emergency to mean that the immediate administration of the
drug is necessary for the proper treatment of the intended individual, that no alternative is available and
that it is not possible for the prescriber to provide a prescription for the drug at that time. In no situations will
an emergency dispensing exceed a 7-day supply. An individual resident's controlled substance record is
prepared by the pharmacy or the facility for each controlled substance medication prescribed for a resident.
The following information is completed: 1) Name of resident 2) Prescription number 3) Drug name, strength
(if designated), and dosage form of medication 4) Date received 5) Quantity received and 6) Name of
person receiving the medication supply. Schedule II controlled substance medications are reordered when
a seven-day supply remains to allow for transmittal of the prescription to the pharmacist. Review of
Resident 1's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell
activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures) and dementia (a chronic disorder of the mental
processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired
reasoning). Review of Resident 1's physician orders revealed orders for lacosamide (a medication used to
manage seizure activity) 100 milligrams give one tablet by mouth every 12 hours. Review of Resident 1's
Controlled Substance Record (document for signing out and tracking medications) for her ordered
lacosamide revealed that 30 tablets were received at the facility on December 29, 2025, and nursing staff
began administering the medication from this package on January 1, 2026, at 9:10 AM. Further review of
this record revealed that the last dose was administered to Resident 1 on January 15, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
Further review of Resident 1's January 2026 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that her
lacosamide was documented as 16 Hold/See Nurses Note for her January 16, 2026, 8:00 PM dose
administration and her January 17, 2026, 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM dose administrations. Review of Resident
1's clinical record revealed a Medication Administration Note dated January 16, 2026, at 8:12 PM, that
indicated Resident 1's lacosamide was on order from the pharmacy. Review of Resident 1's clinical record
revealed a Medication Administration Note dated January 17, 2026, at 1:26 PM, that indicated Resident 1's
lacosamide was on back order and pharmacy was notified. Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed
a Medication Administration Note dated January 17, 2026, at 10:26 PM, that indicated Resident 1's
lacosamide was not available, pharmacy was called, and that the medication was on order. Review of
Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurse's note written by Employee 2 (Licensed
Practical Nurse [LPN]) dated January 17, 2026, at 10:40 PM, which indicated that Resident 1 was noted to
be having a seizure which lasted from 10:20 PM to 10:26 PM. The note further indicated a call had been
placed to

the pharmacy earlier in the day regarding Resident 1's lacosamide and that the pharmacy indicated that the
drug would be sent. The note also indicated that when Employee 2 called the pharmacy again to confirm
that the lacosamide would be in the next pharmacy delivery run (night of January 17, 2026), the pharmacy
indicated a script would be needed to dispense Resident 1's lacosamide. The note indicated that Employee
3 (Registered Nurse [RN]) reached out to the physician and requested that Resident 1 be sent out for
further evaluation. Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurse's note written by
Employee 3 (RN) dated January 17, 2026, at 11:20 PM, which indicated that Resident 1 had a seizure that
lasted approximately 20-25 minutes. The note further indicated that Resident 1's physician was made
aware of Resident 1's seizure, that her ordered lacosamide was not available, and that Resident 1's
physician provided a new order to send Resident 1 to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Based on
review of Resident 1's progress notes for January 17, 2026, at 10:40 PM and 11:20 PM, it was unclear how
long her seizure lasted. Review of the written statement from Employee 1 (LPN) on January 28, 2026,
revealed that Employee 1 called the pharmacy on January 16, 2026, to inform them that Resident 1 was
out of her lacosamide and it was needed. The statement indicated that the medication had already been
ordered days prior and that the pharmacy indicated that the medication would be on the next pharmacy
delivery. Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note written by Employee
4 (RN) dated January 18, 2026, at 9:00 AM, which indicated that Resident 1 experienced another seizure
from approximately 7:06 AM to 7:23 AM, and that Resident 1's physician was made aware of her seizure
activity, that concerns regarding the Resident's medications were reviewed with Resident 1's physician, and
that Resident 1's physician provided a new order for Ativan (an antianxiety medication that can be used to
treat seizures) 1 milligram intramuscular every 12 hours as needed for seizure activity and was in
agreement to send Resident 1 to emergency room again for evaluation and treatment. The note further
indicated that concerns regarding Resident 1's lacosamide were discussed with emergency medical
services staff at time of transfer to the hospital at approximately 7:40 AM. The note indicated that the
pharmacy was contacted at approximately 8:40 AM regarding Resident 1's medication concern and a
voicemail indicated the pharmacy was closed, but that an urgent message was left for the on-call
pharmacist at 8:44 AM. Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurse's note
written by Employee 3 dated January 18, 2026, at 9:42 AM, which indicated that prescriptions for Resident
1's lacosamide and Ativan were signed by Resident 1's physician and faxed to the pharmacy at 8:51 AM.
Review of Resident 1's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note written by Employee 3 dated
January 18, 2026, at 9:43 AM, which indicated that the pharmacy had called the facility and discussed
concerns with Resident 1's lacosamide. The note further indicated that the pharmacist determined that the
last delivery date of Resident 1's lacosamide was on December 28, 2025, with a 15-day supply. The
pharmacist indicated that the pharmacy already had a script for the lacosamide and confirmed that
Resident 1's lacosamide and Ativan would be included in the next pharmacy delivery to the facility (night of
January 18, 2026). Review of Resident 1's January 2026 MAR revealed that she was administered a dose
of lacosamide on January 18, 2026, at 8:00 PM, by Employee 5 (LPN). The dose of lacosamide was
retrieved from the facility's emergency medication supply. Review of Resident 1's current Controlled
Substance Record for her lacosamide revealed that 60 tablets were received at the facility on January 19,
2026, and the first dose was administered on January 19, 2026, at 8:00 AM. Further review of Resident 1's
clinical record revealed that she had no seizure activity between August 3, 2025, and January 17, 2026,
while receiving her medications and suffered two seizures resulting in two hospital transfers when her
lacosamide was not administered as ordered as a result of the pharmacy failing to

provide Resident 1's ordered medication or communication to the facility in a timely manner as to why
medication could not be supplied when initially ordered. During a staff interview with Employee 9 (Regional
Director of Clinical Services) on January 28, 2026, at 1:25 PM, she confirmed that Employee 1 had
erroneously documented administering Resident 1's lacosamide. She further indicated she had spoken to
the pharmacy to get some clarification as to what occurred. Employee 9 indicated that the pharmacy said
that the facility had ordered Resident 1's lacosamide on January 12, 2026, and that the pharmacy did have
an active script for the medication, but the pharmacy indicated that it must have been overlooked by
pharmacy staff and was not filled as requested. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA), Director of Nursing (DON), and Employee 9 on January 29, 2026, between 3:48 PM
and 4:00 PM, the DON confirmed that facility nursing staff reordered Resident 1's lacosamide on January
12, 2026, (three days before Resident 1's supply exhausted), and that she would have expected nursing
staff to follow-up with the pharmacy when the medication was not delivered when ordered. She confirmed
that there was no documentation of any notifications to or from pharmacy between January 12 and 17,
2026, at 1:26 PM regarding Resident 1's lacosamide supply. The DON indicated that she would expect
nursing staff to reorder a medication when they are down to a five-day supply. The DON further indicated
that the facility does have lacosamide in their locked electronic emergency medication supply, but nursing
staff were unable to utilize this for Resident 1 between January 16 and 18, 2026, because the pharmacy
said that they did not have a current script for the lacosamide and, therefore, would not supply an
authorization code to retrieve the medication from the locked emergency supply. The DON further
confirmed that the pharmacy indicated on January 18, 2026, after a new prescription was provided by
Resident 1's physician, that the pharmacy already had a current prescription for Resident 1's lacosamide
and that it was overlooked by pharmacy staff and, therefore, the medication was not refilled when initially
ordered on January 12, 2026. The DON confirmed that she would expect the pharmacy to dispense and
deliver medications timely or to notify the facility immediately if there was an issue with filling a medication
order. Review of Resident 2's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia and anxiety
disorder (mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough
to interfere with one's daily activities). Review of Resident 2's physician orders revealed an order for Xanax
(medication used to treat anxiety) 0.5 milligrams give one tablet every 8 hours, dated December 22, 2025.
Review of Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a Medication Administration Note written by
Employee 8 (LPN) dated January 26, 2026, at 8:45 AM, that indicated Resident 2's Xanax was not
administered and awaiting pharmacy delivery. Review of Resident 2's clinical record progress notes
revealed a nurses note written by Employee 4 (RN) dated January 26, 2026, at 3:34 PM, that indicated
Employee 4 contacted the pharmacy about retrieving Resident 2's Xanax from the emergency medication
supply. Employee 4 questioned why they could not administer Xanax 0.25 milligrams two tablets to equal
Resident 4's ordered dose of 5 milligrams, but that the pharmacy indicated that medications must be
dispensed as written. The note further indicated that Employee 4 contacted Resident 2's physician for
further orders and that the pharmacy indicated that the medication would be on the next pharmacy delivery
to the facility. Review of Resident 2's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurses note written by
Employee 4 dated January 26, 2026, at 4:27 PM, that indicated Resident 2's physician gave a one-time
order for Xanax 0.25 milligrams give two tablets now. Review of Resident 2's current Controlled Substance
Record revealed that the pharmacy filled the Xanax prescription on January 25, 2026, but the Receipt
Verification section of the form was blank. According to the record, the first dose was administered from the
package on January 26, 2026, at 6:30 PM. During a staff interview with the
