Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to promote and facilitate resident's self determination with
support of resident choice and the right to refuse care for 1 of 4 (Resident #7) reviewed for resident rights.
Resident #7 was unable to refuse care without the threat of calling his family member.
This failure could affect the resident's psychosocial well-being and the ability to maintain highest level of
independence.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #7's face sheet dated 6/19/2025 revealed a [AGE] year-old male was admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses: hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and coronary artery
disease(narrowing or blockage of the artery leading to the heart).
Record review of Resident #7's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed he had a BIMS score of 15 indicative
of cognition intact.
Record review of Resident #7's Care Plan dated 6/13/2025 revealed he was care planned per family
member's request to be called with episodes of refusal of car with changing his clothing,
obsessive-compulsive.
Interview on 6/19/2025 at 10:55AM Resident #7 said when he was told that his family member would be
called because he refused to change his clothes, he made him feel sad and like he was not an adult. He
said he did not refuse; he hesitated and then agreed to change his clothes. He said he felt like he was
being threatened when they (staff) said they would call his family member when his family member was
younger than him. Resident #7 said it made him feel sad because he did not want his family member to be
mad at him and then he would not come to see him. He said he liked when his family member would come
see him and he did not want him to be mad at him.
Interview on 5/19/2025 at 2:40PM the DON said with Resident #7, it was an issue with him not wanting to
change his clothes and staff would tell him they would call his family member and staff had gotten used to
telling him they would call his family member as a way to get him to do things. She said it was used as a
threat and she said they had to be redirected not to say that to the resident. The DON said residents should
not be threatened to do things because it was a violation of their rights to make choices and it could cause
psycho-social harm to the resident.

Interview on 6/19/2025 at 4:40PM the Administrator said Resident #7's family member told them to call him
and to inform Resident #7 that he would be called if he would refuse to change his clothes or refuse
incontinent care. The Administrator said he told him they could not do that because he had the right to
refuse and if he insisted, he, Resident #7's family member would be called in to the state because that
would be considered abuse. The Administrator said threatening residents to comply with care was a
violation of their rights and it could cause mental harm to the resident and diminish their desire to maintain
their independence.
Interview on 6/20/2025 at 10:05AM CNA B said he told Resident #7 that he would help him change his
clothes because he was wet. When he refused, he told him that the AD would call his family member.

Record review of Resident #6's eMAR for the month of February 2025 revealed the Norco was signed and
administered only by LVN A.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:20PM the DON said the medication diversion occurred because the Residents #5
and
Residents Affected - Few
#6 received Norco scheduled and as needed, but Resident #5 hardly ever took the medication. She said
Resident #6 was on hospice and his medication was ordered through their pharmacy. She said the reason
it took so long for it to be discovered that LVN A was diverting medication was since Resident #5 rarely took
his scheduled or his as needed pain medication, she would be the only person that would call in refills and
the only person that received them from pharmacy. She called in refills for Resident #6's as needed Norco.
She said an audit was done with the in-house pharmacy and the hospice pharmacy and they noticed there
were several cards of Norco unaccounted for. The nurse was suspended and tested and was negative for
Norco but positive for cocaine and she never returned to the facility. The DON said her license was referred
to the BON. The DON said the process instituted was for the DON and the ADON to be notified by email
when narcotics came in from pharmacy and they retrieved the invoice from the basket on the wall on the
unit and checked the carts to ensure the medication was on the carts. She said an electronic signature was
also done to keep track of who received the medications. She said the police were called as well. She said
the residents involved in the diversion did not miss any medications because the medications were in the
locked drawer, and they did not miss any if needed. She only called in refills and diverted them when
delivered.
Interview on [DATE] at 4:40PM with the Administrator and DON, the DON said when medications would
come in from pharmacy, she would receive an email. The Administrator said the DON and ADON would get
the invoice that came with the medication and check for narcotics and then check the medication carts for
the quantity and dosage medications.
Interview on [DATE] at 4:50PM LVN B said when narcotics come in from pharmacy, before the delivery
person left, the medication had to be verified with the amount of medication, the dosage, and the resident's
name. Before the medication was placed in the cart, 2 nurses had to verify the medication and with 2
signatures.
Interview on [DATE] at 4:55PM LVN C (agency) said when pharmacy delivered narcotics she would verify
the amount of pills, the dosage, the resident name, the medication. The medication had to be verified by
another nurse for 2 signatures and then placed in the lockbox on the medication cart.
Interview on [DATE] at 9:46AM LVN D (agency) said when pharmacy delivered narcotics, she would first
check to make sure all the medications were accounted for (quantity of narcotic) according to the invoice
before she signed to receive the medication from the driver; then she would check the medication dosage,
order, and resident name with another nurse, both sign and if needed, make a narcotic count sheet and
place the medication in the lockbox on the medication cart.
Observation on [DATE] at 12:10PM LVN E and LVN F did narcotic count on the 1st floor, with LVN F calling
the name of the medication, resident's name, and the amount remaining in the bubble card. LVN E checked
the cards as he called them and the count was correct, no missing medications.
Observation on [DATE] at 12:15PM LVN D (agency) and LVN G did narcotic count on the 2nd floor following
the same process- calling the name and the remaining amount, while the agency nurse checked the card,
no missing medications.

locked the cart. The ADON stated the cart was assigned to a nurse, but she was unaware of the nurse's
name. The ADON stated she was also unaware of the nurse's whereabouts. The ADON stated the
medication cart had medications, to include narcotics, stored within. The ADON stated the expectation was
for medication carts to be locked when not attended.

human error.
During an interview on 6/20/2025 at 12:28 PM the DON stated the expectation was for all medication carts
to be locked when not attended by nursing staff and the risk to residents could be not receiving the
therapeutic effects of their medications.
