F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few like she was in pain while she was a Resident at the facility for the short period she was in the building. She said she was up a lot of the days she was there and doing great, related to her pain. She said she would never let someone sit and hurt ever. She said that Resident #1 did not receive the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram that was prescribed to her. She said the night Resident #1 admitted she did not admit with any medications. She said she tried to pull her Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram from the Pyxis system but was denied as the prescription was not signed by the physician. Resident #1 instead received Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet 300-30 Milligram as she was unable to fill a prescription of Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram.During an interview on 2/17/26 at 1:15 p.m., ADON A said she wasn't sure why the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram was not filled by the pharmacy, but she suspected there was an error since they switched to a new pharmacy. She stated it was possible there was an issue with the physician's office and the pharmacy having the wrong number when they sent the script over.During an interview on 2/17/26 at 1:45 p.m. with LVN B, she said the night Resident #1 admitted she did not admit with any medications. She said she tried to pull her Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram from the Pyxis (automated medication dispensing cabinets and management systems), but the medication was denied because the script was not signed by the facility medical director. She said she notified the family regarding the lack of medication and asked if they wanted to send Resident #1 out to the emergency room for pain management, but the family declined. She said the facility Nurse Practioner was on call and she sent her a message regarding the medication issue on 1/19/26, but she never got back with her until early the next morning. We treated Resident #1 with over-the-counter pain medications instead. She said Resident #1 did not appear to be in any pain. She said they took her vitals and her vitals remained in normal range.During an interview on 2/17/26 at 2:40 p.m. with the Administrator, he said he expected his facility nurses to get pain medication as quickly as possible to residents who admitted with pain or an order for pain medication.

He said residents could be placed at risk for pain if they went without their prescribed medications.During an interview on 2/17/26 at 3:27 p.m. with the Nurse Practitioner, she said she was not on call at the time she allegedly got a message about the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram, nor did she remember getting a message. She said she did not know why the pharmacy could not fill the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram. She said she did not know if the Medical Director did not sign the prescription. She said she found out on January 21, 2026 the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 Milligram had not made it to the facility, so she called in an order for Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet 300-30 Milligram. She said she was unsure why it took from that morning until 10:00 p.m. that night for the medication to be administered to Resident #1. She stated Resident #1 was not in pain during her admission to the facility.During an interview on 2/17/26 at 3:47 p.m. with Resident #1 and the Family Member, in a telephone call, the Family Member said Resident #1 was in some pain while at the facility, but she wasn't grimacing or in screaming pain.

She said she did not remember which medication gave her pain relief. Resident #1 and the Family Member said they could no longer speak as they needed to see an Orthopedic Doctor.During an interview on 2/18/26 at 9:00 a.m., the Director of Nurses said when the facility had a new admission their aim was to get their pain medication the day they admitted .
