F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents' right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team has determined that this practice is clinically appropriate for 4 of 4 residents (Residents #2-5) reviewed for medication self-administration. Residents Affected - Some 1. The facility failed to assess Residents #2-5 for medication self-administration and ensure the medications were being administered per the physician's order. 2. The facility failed to implement care planning for Residents #2-5 for medication self-administration. These failures put residents at risk for incorrect medication administration, which could lead to unintended medication side effects, ineffective therapeutic effects of medications, or illness. In an interview with the DON on 4/17/2025 at 09:13 AM, the DON reported that 4 total residents at the facility have physician orders to self-administer medications. The DON provided the names of the four residents (Residents #2-5). Record review of the residents' electronic medical records revealed the following: Resident #2's face sheet dated 4/15/2025 reflected an [AGE] year-old male with an initial admission date of 7/3/2024. Relevant diagnoses included occipital neuralgia (severe pain in the back of the head and neck) and idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy (chronic nerve pain and/or numbness). Resident #2's quarterly MDS submitted on 4/1/2025 reflected a BIMS score of 13, indicating intact cognition. Active physician orders for the resident included: a.

F 0554 ordered medication and to reorder as necessary, but she does not verify administration. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The DON was interviewed on 4/17/2025 at 9:13 AM. She reported that determination of safety for self-administration of medications by residents is made during quarterly care plan meetings and by assessment from the primary nursing staff, and residents must show that they are able to recite the medication frequency and dosage as well as physically able to ingest the medication, such as an inhaler.The DON said that during routine medication administration, the nursing staff should be verifying at that time that the resident self-administered the ordered medications. The DON was unaware that nursing staff were not verifying the self-administered medications. The DON was also unaware that residents with orders to self-administer medications did not have correct medications stored in their rooms. The DON stated care plans should include planning for self-administration of medications. Residents Affected - Some Record review of policy titled Administering Medications (revised April 2019). Self-administration of medication is addressed in item #27 and reflected residents may self-administer their own medications only if the attending physician, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary care planning team, has determined that they have the decision-making capacity to do so safely.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from abuse for 1 (Resident #1) of 7 residents reviewed for abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was free from abuse of unwanted sexual exposure from Resident #6 when he masturbated in front of her. This failure puts residents at risk for abuse and diminished quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's facesheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female with admission date of 8/21/2024. Relevant diagnoses included anxiety disorder, depression, and aftercare following joint replacement surgery. Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS submitted on 4/3/2025 noted that BIMS score was not assessed. The prior quarterly MDS, submitted on 11/21/2024, reflected a BIMS score of 15, indicating intact cognition. Record review of Resident #1's progress notes revealed an entry authored by LVN G on 2/2/2025 at 10:59 PM that stated: Res. Told CNA on Saturday 2-1-25 and Sunday 2-2-25 that her Neighbor has appeared at her door the last two night exposing himself and masturbating at her door [sic]. Further review of Resident #1's progress notes revealed an entry on 2/14/2025 at 5:51 PM, authored by LSW B. In these notes, LSW B documented her interview with Resident #1 about the incident and education to staff regarding the need for staff to notify nurse managers and/or social workers when any incidents related to [resident to resident] occurred. LSW B documented a follow-up progress note on 2/18/2025 at 8:57 AM indicating that the resident's psychologist was notified of the incident and would speak to the resident for evaluation. Record review of the facility's incident report for February 2025 did not reflect an entry for Resident #1, however, in subsequent staff interviews, it was revealed that an investigation had been performed by the facility. Record review of Resident #6's facesheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male with admission date of 10/23/2024 and discharge date of 2/15/2025. Relevant diagnoses included unspecified dementia [a progressive disorder that impairs thought processes, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, and decision-making], unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety; cognitive communication deficit; and muscle weakness (generalized). Resident #6's quarterly MDS submitted on 1/30/2025, reflected a BIMS score of 5, indicating severely impaired cognition. In Section E, this MDS also indicated that Resident #6 did not have indicators of psychosis (question E0100), did not have behavioral symptoms exhibited towards others (question E0200), or have history of wandering (E0900).

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few wandering, chronic. On 2/11/2025, an entry by LSW B stated resident found in lobby [with] hands in pants rubbing himself. In an interview with Resident #1 on 4/16/2025 at 8:55 AM, Resident #1 stated she was laying in bed and an unknown man entered her room by wheelchair and began masturbating. She reported that she notified 2 to 3 staff members of the incident, and she was told that the resident had been running around the whole building doing that. She was also told that the man was no longer a resident at the facility. She stated the sexual abuse only happened one time and reported feeling safe at the facility. CNA H was interviewed on 4/29/2025 at 11:34 AM. CNA H stated Resident #1 told her on at least 2 separate occasions that she had been sexually abused by Resident #6. CNA H reported Resident #1 seemed upset and scared when she reported the sexual abuse. CNA H stated she did not witness sexual abuse of Resident #1, nor did she see Resident #6 entering or exiting Resident #1's room. CNA H stated she had observed Resident #6 frequently wandering the resident halls in his wheelchair. CNA H stated that she reported the abuse allegations to LVN G on at least 2 separate occasions. CNA H was unsure of the exact dates that these events occurred but felt certain that 2 of the instances were at least a week apart, as she worked weekend shifts exclusively at the time. CNA H recalled that LVN G's response was dismissive in nature and LVN G attributed Resident #1's allegations to the resident being confused. LVN G also responded that she would speak to the resident. CNA H did not consider Resident #1 to be confused or have altered cognition at the time of the incident. CNA H confirmed during the interview she had participated in training about abuse/neglect and reporting abuse/neglect. At the time of the incident, she was unaware that she should report abuse to the Admin/Abuse Coordinator but received an in-service regarding reporting abuse to the Admin when she made her statement about the incident to the facility. An interview was conducted with LVN G on 4/29/2025 at 12:42 PM. LVN G confirmed she had been the nurse caring Resident #1 on or about 2/2/2025 but denied being told allegations of sexual abuse to Resident #1 by any staff member or the resident. LVN G was unsure if the allegations were factual and felt the allegations were a rumor. She did not witness Resident #6 entering or exiting Resident's #1 room. LVN G did not observe any mood or behavioral changes at the time of the incident. LVN G said she had only heard about the sexual abuse allegations through hearsay or possibly in shift report. LVN G said she did not speak to Resident #1 about the sexual abuse allegations while serving as her primary nurse because she had [her] own problems to deal with. She did not report the abuse to the facility because it was her understanding that the allegations were already known by the facility. She denied knowing which staff member had reported the allegations to the facility. LVN G confirmed she had received training about abuse/neglect and reporting abuse/neglect from the facility. She stated reports of abuse/neglect were to be reported to the Admin. In an interview with LSW B on 4/16/2025 at 9:51 AM, LSW B reported that she was notified on 2/14/2025 of the sexual abuse by a third party professional affiliated with the facility; not by facility staff. After being notified, LSW B stated she immediately met with the resident to assess her for any psychosocial distress and trauma related concerns and had no concerning findings. LSW B stated she reported the incident to the facility abuse coordinator/administrator for further investigation, and she also referred the resident to the psychologist for further evaluation. In a subsequent interview with LSW B on 4/29/2025 at 9:30 AM, LSW B confirmed Resident #6 had been identified during the facility investigation as the alleged perpetrator of the sexual abuse of Resident #1 based on physical description and behaviors.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few facility, but she was not aware of any instances of him entering any residents' rooms. LSW B confirmed the 2/11/2025 incident documented in Resident #6's progress notes. She stated Resident #6 was observed in the communal lobby area with his hands in his pants and touching his genital area. Another resident observed the behavior and notified her, and LSW B responded by relocating Resident #6 to his room. She then notified the nurse and the Admin of the incident. LSW B reported Resident #6 was not receiving psychiatric services due to the extent of his dementia. In an interview on 4/17/2025 at 9:13 AM, the DON reported the facility's expectation of staff notifying leadership of allegations of abuse/neglect/exploitation is immediate notification. The DON was unsure why LVN G did not notify anyone about Resident #1's abuse allegation. She confirmed that an investigation had been initiated and completed by the facility after becoming aware of the allegations. The DON was unsure if the sexual abuse allegations were reported to the SSA. As a result of the investigation, the DON said she performed staff in-services regarding abuse reporting. The DON was interviewed again on 4/29/2025 at 2:00 PM and reported awareness of Resident #6's wandering behaviors and denied knowledge of sexually inappropriate behaviors other than the incident on 2/11/2025 and the allegations made by Resident #1. She said the wandering behaviors were managed by increased supervision. The DON did not feel like other behavioral interventions were necessary after the 2/11/2025 incident as the resident was pending discharge, on 2/15/25, and the increased supervision was sufficient management. An interview was conducted with the Admin/Abuse Coordinator on 4/17/2025 at 10:23 AM. The Admin confirmed that she was aware of this incident, and stated she had not been notified by facility staff of the incident. She reported a third party performing chart reviews discovered the documentation made by LVN G. The third party notified LSW B, who then notified the Admin and the DON. The Admin reported an investigation of the allegations beginning 2/14/2025 with completion date of 2/18/2025. The Admin reported no additional concerns of abuse from any residents. The Admin said that due to the length of time that elapsed between the incident and the facility becoming aware of it; the pending discharge of the alleged perpetrator; and safe surveys conducted on other residents that did not reveal any concerns of safety from other residents, she did not feel that this warranted reporting to the SSA. The Admin stated if she had been notified immediately by staff of the allegations, she would have reported the incident to the SSA if she felt that the resident was in danger, but she didn't feel like she was. She continued to explain that because the resident did not have any adverse reaction to the sexual abuse and it was a one-time occurrence, she did not feel it was necessary. The admin stated negative outcomes did not determine the threshold of reporting incidents at the facility. The facility provided the internal investigation file related to Resident #1 and the allegations of sexual abuse.

The facility failed to report unwanted sexual exposure/sexual abuse to the Administrator and SSA from a resident to Resident #1. This failure puts residents at risk for abuse and diminished quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's facesheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female with admission date of 8/21/2024. Relevant diagnoses included anxiety disorder, depression, and aftercare following joint replacement surgery. Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS submitted on 4/3/2025 noted that BIMS score was not assessed. The prior quarterly MDS, submitted on 11/21/2024, reflected a BIMS score of 15, indicating intact cognition. Record review of Resident #1's progress notes revealed an entry authored by LVN G on 2/2/2025 at 10:59 PM that stated: Res. Told CNA on Saturday 2-1-25 and Sunday 2-2-25 that her Neighbor has appeared at her door the last two night exposing himself and masturbating at her door [sic]. Further review of Resident #1's progress notes revealed an entry on 2/14/2025 at 5:51 PM, authored by LSW B. In these notes, LSW B documented her interview with Resident #1 about the incident and education to staff regarding the need for staff to notify nurse managers and/or social workers when any incidents related to [resident to resident] occurred. LSW B documented a follow-up progress note on 2/18/2025 at 8:57 AM indicating that the resident's psychologist was notified of the incident and would speak to the resident for evaluation. Record review of the facility's incident report for February 2025 did not reflect an entry for Resident #1, however, in subsequent staff interviews, it was revealed that an investigation had been performed by the facility. Record review of Resident #6's facesheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male with admission date of 10/23/2024 and discharge date of 2/15/2025. Relevant diagnoses included unspecified dementia [a progressive disorder that impairs thought processes, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, and decision-making], unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety; cognitive communication deficit; and muscle weakness (generalized). Resident #6's quarterly MDS submitted on 1/30/2025, reflected a BIMS score of 5, indicating severely impaired cognition. In Section E, this MDS also indicated that Resident #6 did not have indicators of psychosis (question E0100), did not have behavioral symptoms exhibited towards others (question E0200), or have history of wandering (E0900).

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #6's progress notes revealed an entry on 12/12/2024 noting Resident #6 continu[ed] to roam building. An additional progress note entered on 1/23/2025 noted behaviors: wandering, chronic. On 2/11/2025, an entry by LSW B stated resident found in lobby [with] hands in pants rubbing himself. In an interview with Resident #1 on 4/16/2025 at 8:55 AM, Resident #1 stated she was laying in bed and an unknown man entered her room by wheelchair and began masturbating. She reported that she notified 2 to 3 staff members of the incident, and she was told that the resident had been running around the whole building doing that. She was also told that the man was no longer a resident at the facility. She stated the sexual abuse only happened one time and reported feeling safe at the facility. CNA H was interviewed on 4/29/2025 at 11:34 AM. CNA H stated Resident #1 told her on at least 2 separate occasions that she had been sexually abused by Resident #6. CNA H reported Resident #1 seemed upset and scared when she reported the sexual abuse. CNA stated she did not witness sexual abuse of Resident #1, nor did she see Resident #6 entering or exiting Resident #1's room. CNA H stated she had observed Resident #6 frequently wandering the resident halls in his wheelchair. CNA H stated that she reported the abuse allegations to LVN G on at least 2 separate occasions. CNA H was unsure of the exact dates that these events occurred but felt certain that 2 of the instances were at least a week apart, as she worked weekend shifts exclusively at the time. CNA H recalled that LVN G's response was dismissive in nature and LVN G attributed Resident #1's allegations to the resident being confused. LVN G also responded that she would speak to the resident. CNA H did not consider Resident #1 to be confused or have altered cognition at the time of the incident. CNA H confirmed during the interview she had participated in training about abuse/neglect and reporting abuse/neglect. At the time of the incident, she was unaware that she should report abuse to the Admin/Abuse Coordinator but received an in-service regarding reporting abuse to the Admin when she made her statement about the incident to the facility. An interview was conducted with LVN G on 4/29/2025 at 12:42 PM. LVN G confirmed she had been the nurse caring Resident #1 on or about 2/2/2025 but denied being told by allegations of sexual abuse to Resident #1 by any staff member or the resident. LVN G was unsure if the allegations were factual and felt the allegations were a rumor. She did not witness Resident #6 entering or exiting Resident's #1 room. LVN G did not observe any mood or behavioral changes at the time of the incident. LVN G said she had only heard about the sexual abuse allegations through hearsay or possibly in shift report. LVN G said she did not speak to Resident #1 about the sexual abuse allegations while serving as her primary nurse because she had [her] own problems to deal with. She did not report the abuse to the facility because it was her understanding that the allegations were already known by the facility. She denied knowing which staff member had reported the allegations to the facility. LVN G confirmed she had received training about abuse/neglect and reporting abuse/neglect from the facility. She stated reports of abuse/neglect were to be reported to the Admin. In an interview with LSW B on 4/16/2025 at 9:51 AM, LSW B reported that she was notified on 2/14/2025 of the sexual abuse by a third party professional affiliated with the facility; not by facility staff. After being notified, LSW B stated she immediately met with the resident to assess her for any psychosocial distress and trauma related concerns and had no concerning findings. LSW B stated she reported the incident to the facility abuse coordinator/administrator for further investigation, and she also referred the resident to the psychologist for further evaluation.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few identified during the facility investigation as the alleged perpetrator of the sexual abuse of Resident #1 based on physical description and behaviors. LSW B stated Resident #6 was known to roam the facility, but she was not aware of any instances of him entering any residents' rooms. LSW B confirmed the 2/11/2025 incident documented in Resident #6's progress notes. She stated Resident #6 was observed in the communal lobby area with his hands in his pants and touching his genital area. Another resident observed the behavior and notified her, and LSW B responded by relocating Resident #6 to his room. She then notified the nurse and the Admin of the incident. LSW B reported Resident #6 was not receiving psychiatric services due to the extent of his dementia. In an interview on 4/17/2025 at 9:13 AM, the DON reported the facility's expectation of staff notifying leadership of allegations of abuse/neglect/exploitation is immediate notification. The DON was unsure why LVN G did not notify anyone about Resident #1's abuse allegation. She confirmed that an investigation had been initiated and completed by the facility after becoming aware of the allegations. The DON was unsure if the sexual abuse allegations were reported to the SSA. As a result of the investigation, the DON said she performed staff in-services regarding abuse reporting. The DON was interviewed again on 4/29/2025 at 2:00 PM and reported awareness of Resident #6's wandering behaviors and denied knowledge of sexually inappropriate behaviors other than the incident on 2/11/2025 and the allegations made by Resident #1. She said the wandering behaviors were managed by increased supervision. The DON did not feel like other behavioral interventions were necessary after the 2/11/2025 incident as the resident was pending discharge and the increased supervision was sufficient management. An interview was conducted with the Admin/Abuse Coordinator on 4/17/2025 at 10:23 AM. The Admin confirmed that she was aware of this incident, and stated she had not been notified by facility staff of the incident. She reported an investigation of the allegations beginning 2/14/2025 with completion date of 2/18/2025. The Admin reported no additional concerns of abuse from any residents. The Admin said that due to the length of time that elapsed between the incident and the facility becoming aware of it; the pending discharge of the alleged perpetrator; and safe surveys conducted on other residents that did not reveal any concerns of safety from other residents, she did not feel that this warranted reporting to the SSA. The Admin stated if she had been notified immediately by staff of the allegations, she would have reported the incident to the SSA if she felt that the resident was in danger, but she didn't feel like she was. She continued to explain that because the resident did not have any adverse reaction to the sexual abuse and it was a one-time occurrence, she did not feel it was necessary. The admin stated negative outcomes did not determine the threshold of reporting incidents at the facility. The facility provided the internal investigation file related to Resident #1 and the allegations of sexual abuse.

Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #2's face sheet dated 4/15/2025 reflected an [AGE] year-old man with an initial admission date of 7/3/2024. Relevant diagnoses included other asthma (a respiratory disorder that can cause restriction of the lung tissue and difficulty breathing), chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (an ongoing respiratory disease that causes decreased oxygenation and difficulty breathing), other lack of coordination, muscle weakness (generalized), and unsteadiness on feet. Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS submitted on 4/1/2025 reflected a BIMS score of 13, indicating intact cognition. Question GG0130 of the MDS noted that Resident #2 required partial/moderate assistance for showering and bathing. Resident #2's comprehensive care plan, date printed 4/15/2025, also noted that the resident required partial assistance by 1 staff when showering. In an interview with Resident #2 on 4/16/2025 at 10:01 AM, the resident reported being left unsupervised in the shower located within his private restroom during a routine shower earlier that morning. The resident stated CNA E assisted him into the shower, then left the area. The resident used the call light to request assistance with exiting the bathroom because he feared that he would fall on the wet tile. The resident reported that the call light was not answered, so he hit the bathroom wall with his hands and yelled for help. The resident stated he felt difficulty breathing during this time due to the heat and humidity as well as fear. The resident then felt he could not wait any longer for assistance, so he ambulated to his wheelchair and exited the restroom without assistance. The resident reported waiting approximately 20 minutes for help prior to ambulating. After dressing himself, the resident stated LVN A entered the room, followed by CNA E. The resident explained to LVN A that he was left alone in the shower, and LVN A reportedly told CNA E that this can't happen and you can't leave him alone in the shower. LVN A was interviewed on 4/16/2025 at 10:07 AM, and she confirmed that she responded to Resident #2's call light. She also confirmed that he reported to her that he had been left unsupervised in the shower and had independently exited the restroom.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs respiratory care is provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive care plan for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #2) reviewed for quality of care. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 had signed physician's orders and care planning for nightly use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This failure could place residents at risk for inadequate oxygenation and respiratory complications. Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's face sheet dated 4/15/2025 reflected an [AGE] year-old man with an initial admission date of 7/3/2024. Relevant diagnoses included other asthma (a respiratory disorder that can cause restriction of the lung tissue and difficulty breathing), chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (an ongoing respiratory disease that causes decreased oxygenation and difficulty breathing), and obstructive sleep apnea (a blockage of the airway when sleeping that causes decreased oxygenation). Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS submitted on 4/1/2025 reflected a BIMS score of 13, indicating intact cognition. Resident #2 was observed and interviewed on 4/15/2025 at 1:48 PM. The resident was observed to have an oxygen concentrator present in his room. A CPAP therapy device was noted on the nightstand next to the bed. The resident confirmed that he utilized the oxygen concentrator to delivery oxygen by means of nasal cannula when he needed it, and he confirmed that he uses the CPAP therapy every night. The resident stated that he applied both devices (the nasal cannula and the CPAP mask) to his face independently. A record review of Resident #2's current, active orders as of 4/15/2025 revealed one order for oxygen use, dated 11/27/2024. The order read may use portable O2 when out on appt 2-4L to maintain O2 sats >90% as needed for s/sx of hypoxia [sic]. No active orders for oxygen use while at facility or CPAP therapy were located within the medical record. A review of Resident #2's documented vital signs was performed to confirm that resident utilized PRN oxygen. Records indicated that in the 30 days prior to survey, oxygen was in use via nasal cannula on 3/31/2025 at 01:06 AM. The quarterly MDS submitted on 4/1/2025 indicated no in Section O for the question regarding the resident's use of oxygen therapy and the question regarding the resident's use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation (which includes CPAP therapy). Resident #2's comprehensive care plan, printed 4/15/2025, was reviewed and contained a focus area related to supplemental oxygen use, with a listed intervention of PRN oxygen at a rate of 2-4 liters/minute to maintain oxygen saturation rate >90% (date initiated 7/12/2024).

LVN A reported that Resident #2 typically used 2 liters/minute of oxygen to nasal cannula when he was at physical therapy or when he's standing for a long period of time. She elaborated that this usage occurs almost daily, and she confirmed that it is her understanding that he used CPAP every night, although she did not work night shift and had not observed him using it directly. LVN A reported that the amount of oxygen Resident #2 used was included in an order, and when notified that the surveyor could not locate an order for PRN oxygen use in the facility or for CPAP therapy, LVN A reviewed the medical record and confirmed that these orders were not present but that they should be. LVN A reported that not having these orders in place could cause inadequate oxygenation of a resident if they did not receive the amount of oxygen they needed. In an interview on 4/17/2025 at 09:13, the DON confirmed that Resident #2 should have signed physician's orders in place and care planning for CPAP therapy. The DON also stated if a resident was self-applying oxygenation devices, the nursing staff should be ensuring that it has been done correctly by assessing the application and checking vital signs, if needed. Record review of facility policy Oxygen Administration (revised October 2010) revealed under subheading preparation: 1. Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure.

Resident #3 was observed on 4/17/2025 at 1:55 PM storing 1 medication in the drawer without a lock of the nightstand next to his bed. Resident #4 was observed storing 4 medications on the top surface of the nightstand on 4/17/2025 at 1:45 PM, and Resident #5 was observed storing 2 medications on top of the bedside table next to the bed on 4/16/2025 at 8:37 AM. All four residents were interviewed at the time of the observations and all reported that the storage method observed was the usual means of storage. In an interview with the DON on 4/17/2025 at 09:13 AM, the DON said medications were safely stored in the rooms of residents who self-administer medications because staff keeps the medications high where they can't reach them. The DON said that residents were told not to keep the medications in their bedside nightstands or anywhere that is in sight. The DON was informed of the survey team's observations of storage of the self-administered meds, and the DON stated she had intentions to implement lockboxes or locking drawers for safety. Record review of a policy related to self-administration of medications reflected the policy does not address storage of medications in a resident's room.
