Based on review of clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain accountability for controlled medications (drugs with the potential to be abused) for three of five residents reviewed (Residents 2,3,5).Findings include: The facility's policy regarding medication administration, dated May 14, 2025, indicated that nursing staff who administer medications to residents shall record and sign on the individual medication record of each resident the medication, dosage and time the medication was administered. Documentation is to be done immediately after the administration.
